Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

I'm about to go cold turkey from cocaine.
It's time to! Definitely
My weak points are when I'm tempted to buy some (usually evenings)

Can I message on here when I'm tempted for a pep talk on why I shouldn't & reassurance that it's ok?
I think it would really help me

Do you reckon we can do this?

Yay, go Cleaning for getting through it. Mm yes very expensive headache/PMT remedy. We are daft.

serial Are you tucking in to your son's food tech meal? Not just any food, really expensive supermarket petrol station shop food...

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 18:05

Got my trackie bottoms on, gonna have a cig then clean the kitchen. That's how brave I'm feeling Grin I usually avoid it on a dodgy night Shock

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 18:06

Just seen some spilt salt on the counter

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 18:09

Great you've swapped the wonder woman costume for trackies. Don't snort the salt!!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 18:11

No I wear the cape too 😂 it's quite an eye-catching ensemble

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 18:17

Cape? The mind boggles. Grin
You can wear it to our fictional meet up so we can recognise you. I'll come as Bat woman, flat can be Uber mum and serial can come in arm bands and snorkel (super surfer) Sorry, serial Russell's not invited. Smile

Well done cleaning! At our fictional meet up I'll come dressed as a Russell Yoda hybrid. Feel really ill, turkey last thing on my fevered mind which I guess is good!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 19:24

The granite is gleaming, dishwasher is on. Too tired to contemplate turkey as well. Saturday will be one week 👊

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 19:53

Well done everyone then. Smile Get well soon, serial you poor thing. Russell Yoda hybrid sounds good although you may regret your decision once your fever goes down..

Friday tomorrow so on one hand, hooray, but also welcome to the Danger Zone (slightly scary music plays).

serialtester · 02/02/2017 20:00

Remember that Frankie goes to Hollywood song - welcome to the pleasure dome?? Welcome to the danger zone!!

serialtester · 02/02/2017 20:01

Am now off fags btw. This is bad shit!

serialtester · 02/02/2017 20:20

Got nappy cream smeared under my nose like a big coke tache. Oh the irony!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 20:37

I don't want to jinx it but I'm feeling epic tonight. Have been talking to dh about how glad I am that I joined this thread Smile

Thank you Flowers

serialtester · 02/02/2017 20:52

Cleaning, good for you! So glad you're feeling epic tonight!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 21:02

Ds is in bed and dh are snuggled watching TV like old times. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed this.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 21:03

Sudocrem moustache Grin ... thanks serial laughing my head off.

Cleaning It's nice knowing I have some support when I'm wobbling. Glad I joined just try not to breathe on us serial. Wink

Hope you're having a nice early night Flat.

flatwhite45 · 02/02/2017 21:12

Well done all! We do seem to be inching forward. Despite my slip up fuck up last night. I managed 11 days clean. Which is the most I have managed in the last 6 months or so.

Off cottaging Wink again tomorrow evening (yes lost). So I should be ok in the danger zone. Although I also think my danger zone is a moveable feast, and more dependant on how many days clean I am than what day of the week it is.

My mission this coming week is to sort my fucking iPhone out, which is not allowing me to totally delete our dealers number. Seriously i am sure if I could just not get hold of the stuff so easily (he delivers within 15 mins) I would have no choice but to sit out the cravings.

Anyway I am nodding off as I type.,,.time for an early night. Good night Flowers

serialtester · 02/02/2017 21:23

Night all! Still got my white tache! I've disinfected the surfboard!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 08:01

Hope everyone's feeling good today.

11 days off it is good going, Flat. I would've thought you're well on your way to a bronze surfing badge.
Enjoy your cottaging? Grin

I'm expecting stormy seas tonight. It's the weekend, wages in the bank, no work tomorrow and dealer in some fetching swimming trunks is circling my surf board Shock.
Give me strength.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 03/02/2017 08:06

Feeling good here but had a sudden insomnia attack last night at about 2am and got through about 6 or 7 cigs Blush

Lol at the swimming trunks. Good analogy Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 08:14

Oh sorry about the insomnia last night Cleaning you were in such a great mood last night. Hope you're not too tired today.
Hope you can avoid Mr Rude and obnoxious at work today!

flatwhite45 · 03/02/2017 09:32

Morning all!! Lost hope you have strength to avoid the turkey in the swimming trunks Grin

Cleaning at least it wasn't coke induced insomnia! Well done!!!

Random question from me: does anyone know if it's possible to ask my dealer to block my number? Has anyone heard of anyone doing this?

serialtester · 03/02/2017 09:33

Morning. I have a harpoon at the ready lost.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 10:05

Gosh, ok we 'll harpoon the dealer in the snazzy trunks Grin

In theory you could get your dealer to block your number. It depends how nice he is I suppose and whether he wants to lose a customer so to speak. There's no harm in asking him, although you'll have to contact him so do it when you're feeling indestructible! It's a good idea flat.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained Smile

flatwhite45 · 03/02/2017 11:39

Thanks lost, I figure it's the best way of stopping my access to coke. I was trying to think of a way to motivate him to block me. As I am not sure I can rely on his good nature!! Was wondering if I should say we have been reported to the authorities (social services) and so need to stop using. Doubt he would want to risk continuing contact with us. Anyway no need to answer this,just thinking out loud.

Hope you are all having a fab day x
