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?

Obviously we won't be mentioning mood lifters on this thread, oh no siree.
Perhaps we need some old school tunes to cheer you up. Loved the last one. I'm really shit at links though.

Being homework nagger tonight, making packed lunches and sorting out PE kits. It's that weekend's over, back to school feeling. Hey ho.

Read that thread about 90's ravers/drug users, Brought back some memories! Am also doing Sunday evening shit. Am not at all craving a mood lifter! Honest!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 05/02/2017 19:30

I saw that thread! Made me think of that old skool tune White lines... running through my mind Shock

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 05/02/2017 20:03

Lost I felt really sick and just so tired as I was so wired I couldn't sleep. Didn't have like a downer and my moods fine today luckily.

Me and my dh have both agreed we are knocking it on the head (although he's said this a million times then wants to de stress after a busy week and doesn't care anymore) Iv piled so much weight on this year like over two stone so starting a diet tomorrow and exercise and he's going to start working out and we can concentrate on that at weekends and hopefully that will be a mood lifter and de stresser instead of coke when I get bored I'm just going to do a hiit workout or go to bed early!

Serial you have been ill for ages now so I'm not surprised you are feeling downs

flatwhite45 · 05/02/2017 20:18

Lost thank you for the professorship in Cocainism I humbly accept! With regard to Serial's condition, I prescribe a loooonngggg HOT, STEAMY bath with the one and only Russell Brand Blush

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 20:20

got loving your getting healthy and fit plan. Exercise is a proven mood lifter, something to do with endorphins(sp?) so it's all good.

Laughing about your favourite song, Cleaning oh dear.

Agree, being ill is blooming exhausting, Serial you'll soon be back to your old chipper self.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 20:23

Professor White has spoken Serial Grin that sounds like an excellent plan indeed. Your white lab coat and certificate is in the post, flat.

serialtester · 05/02/2017 20:37

Professor White!! That's inspired! I'm clearly now that person at the party who's the bad vibes merchant who brings the mood in the room down. You all know the type! A bath with Russell sounds heavenly.....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 20:42

bad vibes merchant Grin
We used to call it a buzz killer, yours is the middle class version.

Nothing wrong with having a moan. I'm always whining on about something!

serialtester · 05/02/2017 20:45

At last, I've ascended to the middle classes! If flat is Professor White can I be ordained as vicar into the church of cocainism?! Or Bishop?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 20:49

Archbishop serial of the surfing people has a certain ring to it. I'm announcing my faith in you.( Dog collar in post Wink)

flatwhite45 · 05/02/2017 20:57

Funny you are 😂

serialtester · 05/02/2017 21:19

Archbishop Serial of the Surfing People would be an awesome DJ name. I'm moving to Ibiza immediately. God bless you all and may the arm bands be plentiful.

serialtester · 05/02/2017 21:20

In the name of the surfboard, wetsuit and holy snorkel. Amen.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 21:25

Serial that's genius.Amen to that shit.

Cleaning of course can have a doctorate in cleaning and cleaning product organisation. And have lots of letters after her name.

serialtester · 05/02/2017 21:35

Dr Cleaning PhD CoKe Oxon specialism: Granite

Lost, you can be our shrink. Dr Lost MDma Psych. Specialism: Good and Bad Vibes

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/02/2017 22:05

Dr. Lost just about sums it up I think. I probably left a few marbles at that rave in 94.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 05/02/2017 22:14

Ooh shit you've put letters after my name... do you know me in real life??

Grin

Very proud tonight, surfed some major waves with dh and considered getting a gram but we got over it and I scrubbed the granite Wink

serialtester · 06/02/2017 05:40

Well done cleaning!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/02/2017 07:58

Well done Cleaning (and husband) Smile sounds as though you've really turned a corner.

Hope everyone's bright eyed and all set for a new week.
Spun thinking of you today Flowers

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 06/02/2017 11:08

Thank you nineties, my appointment was supposed to be at 10:40 but of course they're running late so I'm sat here nervous as hell Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/02/2017 11:31

spun You poor thing Sad as if you haven't waited enough.
Sending you nice thoughts and hugs.

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 06/02/2017 12:51

It was a missed miscarriage, it died five weeks ago but I haven't passed it yet.

I'm going to get fucked up as soon as I have the money to do it. I don't even care anymore.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/02/2017 13:06

Spun I'm so so sorry. Nothing I say will make you feel better, I wish it could. You are probably in shock. Do you have anybody to keep you company today?
We're here if you need to talk x

flatwhite45 · 06/02/2017 13:17

Spun so sorry to hear your news, so sad. Here for you if you want to vent. Whatever you do next, try to go easy on your body and mind. Flowers
