Professor White and the line dancing surfers eat cold turkey

[serialtester]

Welcome to the surfboard!

I don't need to be forced to clean

I'm not unreasonable, it's not a very big house. You could have it sparkly in no time plenty of time left for raving and riding horses. I think I'm feeling disappointed this isn't actually happening

It all sounds lovely. What? It's not actually happening?

Back to the drawing board then

Plan this rave for 6 months time and il be there with bells on. I'll bring the pills obviously.

ilost thanks she's fine just a bit sore.

She was off her head on the oramorph kept asking her aunty (who is a notorious ex stoner) how we knew life wasn't a dream and moving bloody furniture about when she shouldn't of been out of bed.

Ah bless her. I'm glad she's recovering. Look after yourself too, Unborn x

Hi first time on here and would love some advice if possible.

I'm slowly watching my life crumble away all in secret, no one knows what I've been doing to what extent.

Hi Snowball. You can always talk to us.

Hi I hadn't touched a thing in so many years. I'd been extremely ill due to another issue (alcohol). But I was beginning to manage.

Then out of the blue an old friend contacted me. He was the one that everyone thought we'd end up together. Since we were 17 it's been an on and off thing.

That's when we started acted like we were still teenagers. Except only I'd grown up, good job, house, car and family.

To cut a long story, I've now been taking Coke daily, it's now effecting everything and I keep saying tonight's the last night. But is never is.

Any advise ?

Hi Snowball Welcome to our support thread.

It sounds as though your use has escalated to an unmanageable degree. Of course you want to change but as we all know stopping is bloody tough. It really will be a fight but it's possible if you want it enough.

None of us are experts, although we might like to pretend we are but I would suggest taking this day by day. Don't look too far ahead. Concentrate on today, today you won't use. Start with simple avoidance strategies; nothing in the house, delete dealers number etc.
Wishing you strength Please let us know how you're getting on.

Morning to everybody on board today. smiles and coffees all round

Dh had a big tax rebate land in his account today so there is a huge elephant in our flat right now

Welcome snowball. I've cut down from 5/6 nights a week to being pretty much clean for 2 weeks and a bit. my use spiralled after some horrible personal circs that I had to address... I've tackled a lot of difficult issues head on and I'm feeling stronger. I'm no angel but my dependency has lessened dramatically. For me personally the big turning point was asking myself why I was taking so much. I'd had a miscarriage, a bereavement and a toxic sibling. I'm dealing with them day by day and have now pretty much cut my brother out of my life. I was using to block things out.

Morning Cleaning We're waiting for a tax rebate too. I wonder if ours has landed in the account? bad thoughts
It might be an idea to think of a lovely treat for yourselves that doesn't involve the White Elephant. Tell that elephant to fuck off.

I'm throwing love all around the thread today for Valentine's day. 💜 💜 💜

No were not going to actually get any
but I saw a fleeting look pass over his face

I feel like I can't really be bothered with it anymore, and I never thought I'd say that!

Morning all, God I love feeling like a normal person, coffee's all round for you lovely people on the day of the Valentine.

Snowball, I am so sorry you find yourself in this situation, but really pleased you have found our group and have had the courage to open up. It's a major first step to making it real and working toward recovery. Lost as always has given some great advise and cleaning is a great example of how far you can progress in a relatively short space of time.

Please keep talking, we are here for you. You have already fought and won some hard battles, you CAN win this one too

Cleaning we had a big tax rebate two weeks ago hence the reason we ended up with stuff on the Saturday but Iv now transferred it into the savings account and am not wasting it (did book Ibiza for June though 😏)

Snowball I'd defo delete all numbers and throw whatever you have away so there is none in the house. Make a plan for tonight to keep you occupied. If you can get through just tonight that's a massive achievement.

If you are struggling to do that then try cutting down on your intake to begin with that you take each night?

Yep just did a savings transfer and sorted out a bunch of bills early so we've got surplus on pay day. A month ago dh would have already made the call for tonight

I'm glad the cash landed on Valentine's Day as we've got lovely plans for tonight so that was another incentive to stay sorted.

Thanks for the compliment flat. Glad to hear to you're feeling good today

Amazing progress cleaning! Got, good to hear from you.

Just wondering how spun is? You have been quiet for a while. Let us know how you are?

Gobble gobble! This made me chuckle on the telly just now

Ha ha, he certainly looks happy surrounded by all those turkeys.

I sometimes forget how far you've come Cleaning in fact let's have a big cheer for everyone on this thread. [Woohoo] You and got are being very Captain Sensible with your money.

Thanks for my Valentine's coffee, flat mmm lovely coffee in a heart shaped mug.

Yes, do let us know how you are spun x

I reckon those turkeys are getting a head start on our third summer of love festival

Ditto to cheering everyone on the thread!!

Yep, the turkeys are all heading over to the main stage by the looks of it, someone's put a Tune on.

Unfinished Turkey perhaps?
