Open!!

The craving comes out of the blue. I am crawling the walls.

Am.going to bed. Tonight has been hard. Keep safe surfers!

Well thanks for that good news, Serial aarrghh. The problem being, if I drink too much, I don't turn French, I turn into a professional Colombian coke taster.

Try to distract yourself down off the walls, Serial. What about the Olde faithful bath, Tv or knitting?

Ok forget knitting, bed sounds the best option!

Haha not glamorous at all, I sell plastic, battery operated rabbits .

Hoochi I've been considering going back on Tinder since my last fwb turned out to be a complete dick (I know, shocker), let us know how you get on.

Feeling flat after doing a pile of ironing and feeling like I've wasted the weekend by not getting wasted!

Going to parties and getting paid for it sounds glam in my book, lady

Calling it a night lovely surfers x

Ha Lady that's the job I was going to suggest but didn't want to offend if it wasn't! The second was pole dancer Tindering not going well, thought I'd bagged a date until I mentioned I was tall, now he's disappeared, must be a shorty

'Wasted the weekend by not getting wasted' know exactly what you mean there

Anyway night lovely surfers xx

Good morning surfers sorry it's been a few days. Still trying to find ways to deal with stress without my faithful companion.

Work thing, turns out it wasn't my fault and I did the right thing but my god I panicked and wasn't in a good way.

Morning all! Feeling much brighter and springier today thank goodness. Not sure what happened yesterday, felt like I was wading through treacle all day .

Welcome back Pickle I thought you'd gone Awol! Glad you're feeling more on top of things. I understand the feeling of losing a companion. I felt a bit like that yesterday.
I think it's worth remembering that those feelings pass, or at least come and go, and you can control your mood to some extent. My quick fix would always be some class A, but I'm gradually realising there are other ways!

Anyway this is all a bit deep man for a Monday morning, have a good day all

Evening all. Well that's Monday nearly out the way with. Mondays are shit aren't they?!

Tell me why, you don't like Mondays, do you wanna shoot the whole day down?
Sorry, I'm being silly

My Monday wasn't too bad. Didn't have that awful spaced out feeling after a mad weekend which was a plus. Have consumed a lot of coffee and fags though.

Well, I drank myself French again yesterday and felt HIDEOUS this morning! I actually looked like Bob Geldof at 7am today!

Instead of muttering "give me the fucking money" I was muttering "give me the fucking coffee"

I'm sorry you woke up as Bob Geldof, that's horrific. I diagnose a very unhealthy dinner with cheese on top and an early night.

The silver lining is that you have the power to get v. pissed without face planting into a coke platter. I'm pleased to award you your Pissed Surfer Badge which you can sew onto your cozzie.

Good news, another day completed!!!

And better still fwb has managed since 4am sat morning!!!

Spent Saturday night on the sofa in front of the tv - couch-surfing - and resisting the lure of the man-cave where the dangerous things are stored. Mondays are still shit though.

Excellent going Snow you have iron will power and brilliant fwb has started surfing too

Dusty At least you had a clear head today, that must feel good. wish I had a man cave in my house

Snowball you are amazeballs!

Dusty, well done you!

I'm so proud of him for even just trying X

Trying is a great start. It's all we can do really. I'm trying all the time. It does sort of get easier.

What helps me is Remembering I want to change, Why I want to change and then I'm just going to keep trying until I get it right!

This support thread has really helped too
I think we all rock!

You do all rock. It's not something you can blurt out at the school gates on a Monday morning "sorry I blanked you, I'm on a massive comedown..."

Or at toddler time " I can't wind the bobbin up, I'm full of existential angst"

pickle what's up?

You have helped me so much x
