What's a pbp?

Previously banned poster! Night all, that was a good night not one of us was struggling! High fives all round.

flatwhite45 · 15/02/2017 23:56

Thanks got! Yes it was a calm night on the board... night all xx

flatwhite45 · 16/02/2017 09:34

Morning all!! Hope everyone's feeling good and ready to beat the shit out of those pesky weekend cravings. I am not usually one for believing in fear tactics. But I did a bit of reading on cocaine overdoses this morning (cheery!), after serials comments last night, and it's pretty sobering reading! Hoping the thoughts stay with me over the next three nights. Would hate to think that any of our lives would be impacted in such an awful way. Stay safe and happy people.

Morning Flat. Iv just started a shake diet, my dh is going away to the next city to stay with friends (who don't take anything) for the night on Saturday. So I'm hoping all of that will keep me on the straight and narrow. For some reason when I make other plans that rule out the possibility of alcohol (and then in turn coke) my cravings aren't as bad as when we could possibly do it and have no plans if that makes sense.

Morning all Brew

Got you sound so motivated and focused on getting healthy, it's brilliant. Good luck with your shaking Wink

flat Hope you've recovered from your Worst Day Ever Smile

Soon entering the Danger Zone folks, let's all keep our wits about us and not ignore any signs warning of treacherous rocks, intense seaweed or sharks that might knock us off the board and eat us.

Hello all. Went for a nice long walk this morning hoping to wear out ds Working from home the next two days as I need to avoid that cunt face director to avoid falling off the surfboard Wink I had 3 cigs yesterday but none so far today Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/02/2017 12:32

Cleaning you have earned yourself a halo Halo

INeedAWittyNameChange · 16/02/2017 12:36

Shitty day at work and the "fuck it" switch is lighting up in front of me

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/02/2017 12:51

Gaahh don't press that switch witty even if it's flashing!!

So sorry you're having a crappy day. Concentrate on Operation Big Clean and think of your lovely house and the gorgeous candle scent wafting around.
Ride out those urges and they should ease off soon I hope. You can do this.

flatwhite45 · 16/02/2017 16:14

Hi all, lunch gathering with friends, couple of glasses of white wine.....heading home now.....grrrrrr triggers everywhere. Am thinking 'strokes, heart attacks, blood clots...'

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/02/2017 16:25

I hear you flat, loud and clear. Made a promise to myself to transfer cash into savings when the urges came. I think I will need to buy cigs... I made it out 4:30 before my halo slipped lost Smile

How are you doing witty? Happy cleaning and don't flick that mother fucking switch!!

Serial, report for duty!!

flatwhite45 · 16/02/2017 16:27

Witty hang in there, are you ok?

I must admit I've been craving the buzz all afternoon Sad. My cold has more or less gone from my nose. Weirdly it's coming out of my eyes now, they've been watering a lot today. Mystifying Confused

serialtester · 16/02/2017 17:05

Hi serial hope work's not turning you into angry serial killer today Wink

A lager for medicinal purposes sounds like a plan. We have lovely cold cans in the fridge.. and fags.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/02/2017 17:12

*fags are not in the fridge.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 16/02/2017 17:19

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 16/02/2017 17:20
