Filled with self-loathing as is standard

serialtester · 05/03/2017 08:24

Oh Sunday, you'll feel better later. You poor thing.

I've had about 3 hours sleep but I feel so stupid and irresponsible. If only I could bottle this feeling and bring it out whenever I feel tempted to dive of the surfboard.

HoochiMama · 05/03/2017 10:24

You were me this time last week Sunday. It's a vile feeling but you know it will go by later on. I know what you mean about bottling it to remind you next time you're tempted. I have managed to resist this weekend and feel great sorry to rub it in. I was bored shitless both evenings and would have killed for a line but what put me off was that I had things planned both days and couldn't face them with the horrors, including seeing my mother today! Don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is another day. Sending hugs xx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 11:04

Well done Hooch and serial and everyone else that stayed on board. Smile laughed about ba`ttered Mon Cherie.

Sunday hug for you and also Happy Birthday! Cake Flowers Back on the board with us.
I find celebrations like birthdays, New year, Christmas, big parties, weddings (the list is quite long!) the hardest. I always associate them with getting wrecked.

It's flipping impossible to remind yourself of the consequences when you're caught up in the moment and craving the white stuff. Then the next day, you remember why you hate cocaine Sad. I still haven't quite fathomed out how to beat that late night fuck it tendency.

I went to bed at 10 last night and slept for 12 hours! I think all these years abusing my body with drugs are catching up with me. Sometimes I think if I didn't have an alarm or dc to wake me up I might actually sleep for a week Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 11:08

How did I forget to mention? You saved someone's life yesterday, Sunday ! I think you need to wear your pants outside your trousers today and a cape.

serialtester · 05/03/2017 11:17

Happy Birthday Sunday!

Can't believe that I drank so much last night that I turned French!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 11:22

Grin I'm sure everyone in the pub was impressed. Mange tout Marlene.

serialtester · 05/03/2017 11:25

Haha lost!! Wondered why I was wearing a string of onions when I woke up!

Thanks all! Feeling more subhuman than superhuman today Confused

serialtester · 05/03/2017 11:33

At least you haven't turned French though Sunday.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 11:34

Be kind to yourself Sunday the self loathing doesn't help x

Serial: Bonjour monsieur, I aim tres b`atteured, petit filous and Merci beaucoup my friend.
Cab driver: Hmm let's get you home love.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 05/03/2017 11:41

Creme de la menthe Serial I didn't realise you were all so continental Wink
Sorry you are feeling crappy Sunday - but you did save someone's life, I'm picturing you in a Wonder Woman outfit wearing arm bands you can get back on the board today.
I had wine, but not too much so much for dry March and had too much sleep, so now I have the dozy feeling of having been wasted last night but just from sleep - what's that all about Hmm

LadyRivers1 · 05/03/2017 11:48

Happy birthday Sunday! Well done for saving someone's life! Pat yourself on the back for that instead of being hard on yourself Flowers

Another clean night last night, was working at a party and the guests were not too discreetly passing it round in the kitchen but it wouldn't have been very professional if the ambassador started getting stuck in Grin

Drove past the pub on the way home last night and could have so easily been tempted but went home instead and fresh as a daisy this morning!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 11:56

Good stuff, lady you have an interesting job! I'm imagining you walking round the party with Ferrero Rocher on a platter.

I have that this morning, Zig I've overdosed on sleep. I can't even do sleeping in moderation Grin

serialtester · 05/03/2017 13:06

Zut alors, going out for a pub lunch.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 13:14

'ope you av something delicieux pour ze lunch and attende in ze armbands.

Loosely translates as: enjoy your ploughmans and keep surfing.

serialtester · 05/03/2017 13:25

Le armbandes are alwayz on ze armies. Bon voyage!

OP posts:
LadyRivers1 · 05/03/2017 15:27

Haha!! Fererro Rocher 😂. It's a bit more risqué than that (not as risqué as coke on silver platters though mmm, yum!)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 19:58

It all sounds very glamorous, Lady.

Been feeling a bit low today, for no real reason. Just haven't got much get up and go today Confused. Maybe it takes time to adjust to life being on an even keel after the extreme highs and lows of the coke life? Maybe I'm talking rubbish..

Hoochi your surfboard's been very quiet, are you ok?

Hope everyone's sailing smoothly on calm seas this Sunday evening. Don't try and say that when you're pissed. Wink

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 05/03/2017 20:43

Evening all well done to those firmly on their surfboards!

Sunday happy bday! Don't feel too much guilt, it's done now so don't torture yourself mentally.

HoochiMama · 05/03/2017 21:16

Ahoy surfers! All present and correct here and still firmly on board. Had a nice day visiting family but feeling a bit flat now too Lost. Am amusing myself by going on Tinder to try and find a date for next weekend. God help me based on past experience!

Happy Birthday Sunday, hope you're feeling better now.

Lady, I'm intrigued as to what your job is now. Can you give us a clue?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2017 21:25

Glad you're still on board, Hooch and Got Smile and have a clean weekend under your belts!

Hopefully the crappy flat feeling goes the more time we're clean? It's difficult because my brain knows it has a go to remedy to feeling a bit meh of an evening..Blush

We all need to come along to one of Lady's parties and see for ourselves. A giant silver platter of coke sounds like fucking heaven.

serialtester · 05/03/2017 21:47

The crappy flat feeling never goes. You just drink until you're French! Smelled it this afternoon out of nowhere. Want it BADLY. Just one line. Jesus this is hard.
