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?

Haha! Bagsy dibs on the daily fail sad face for the article. I've practiced it in the mirror and everything.

God don't say that, Flat It's nice knowing there's some support here if we need it.

They'd probably pick up on Serial's addiction to baths and ask for a sad face photo of her stood next to the bath in a fluffy dressing gown.

While looking longingly for the fags you stole from me Lost.

We can set up fake lines for their photographer on cleanings' gleaming work tops

serialtester · 22/01/2017 21:30

Yes, my worktops wouldn't be suitable for the photoshoot.

serialtester · 22/01/2017 21:32

Obviously the stress would make me get coked up and talk the journalist to death ensuring that the article could never be published. So don't worry!

flatwhite45 · 22/01/2017 21:43

So that's the "busted by the daily fail" action plan sorted then 😉

flatwhite45 · 22/01/2017 21:43

Almost hoping we do, if only to watch you in action serial!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/01/2017 21:48

I feel better knowing there's an action plan in place Grin

serialtester · 22/01/2017 21:52

I've got all our backs! When the fail do the "mums on coke" story my input will make it unprintable! Night everyone - here's to a clean week.

serialtester · 22/01/2017 21:55

I do think I'll need you all Thursday/Friday. I can feel the "fuck it" switch twitching already.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/01/2017 22:06

I love Fridays but it's always my danger zone day. Hopefully we can help each other. Smile

Still laughing to myself about practicing your DM sad face in the mirror.

flatwhite45 · 22/01/2017 22:06

Will be there for you serial! I am going to make a water tight plan for this coming weekend, so fingers crossed will be my first weekend sober for a long while

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/01/2017 22:09

Have my pompoms ready Flat. Will try not to be the worlds worst cheerleader for you like last Friday Blush

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 22/01/2017 22:25

Do you think the Daily Fail would like a photo of me cleaning the granite like a mother fucker perchance? Grin

We'll keep each other going ladies, we can do this!!!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 22/01/2017 22:33

Ohhhhh I missed that flat had already volunteered my kitchen for the photo shoot!

I'd rather be in it though so I'll be cleaning like a mother fucker around the lines of bicarb Grin

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 23/01/2017 08:00

Have a fab day everyone. Today will make it one week clean for me Grin

flatwhite45 · 23/01/2017 08:15

Happy sober Monday!! I am so inspired by you cleaning, I could tell that was a tough one for you last night, but you did it!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/01/2017 08:18

Thanks, cleaning. Here's to another clean week Brew.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 23/01/2017 11:35

Thanks flat it certainly was.

Feeling awesome now though. Very smiley. Smile I'm never this happy at work- people probably think I'm on drugs now 😂 If only they knew...

And yes, another clean week.

I got a party invite for next weekend though. Fuck

serialtester · 23/01/2017 11:44

Well done on a week cleaning!

flatwhite45 · 23/01/2017 12:03

Ok cleaning enjoy work!! Let's think strategies for you for this weekend, maybe we could reconvene on Wednesday? Ilostit wanted to say you are a great cheerleader, you have given some very wise advice and you have been (go) to that mad place too, that's worth a huge amount in my books. Was thinking about your upcoming wedding and wondering if you could have a sober wing woman, someone who keeps an eye on you and let's you know when it's time to leave? Anyway just a thought

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 23/01/2017 12:56

Fuck fuck fuck. A project that I planned at work has been delivered badly wrong by a colleague. I'm going to get pulled up on this. I went through it with her, it was clear. I was so on the fucking ball this morning but it's fucked up.

I'm no longer smiling. I'm close to tears and doing maths in my head. Fucks sake

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/01/2017 13:40

Sorry you're having a difficult time at work, cleaning.Sad Hope you can work it out. Let us know how you get on.

Still haven't decided about my friend's wedding flat. I'm going with my husband who is definitely not the sensible wing man I want Confused. We will egg each other on after a few drinks although he is trying to stay off it as much as I am. If one of us suggests it, the other one generally goes along with it, not good I know.

I have sober friends, some of which would be horrified if I told them I have a drug problem and probably run for the hills Grin but I get what you mean.
I'm planning to leave early so just staying for the start of the reception. Have a few reservations about it like a red warning light going off in my head especially after the birthday fiasco but then I think I have to face these things and not hide away.

It's not til next month so have a few weeks to get my head round it (and bore you with it!)
