After extensive rinsing I can confirm I look exactly the same.

Not even a little bit radiant.

Snowball426 · 10/03/2017 22:03

Hi back

Snowball426 · 10/03/2017 22:04

But have been suffering xxxx

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/03/2017 22:07

At least you smell of the deep sea, Pickle that's something Grin.
Really want a line and think I'm compensating with fags. It's making the eyebrow headache return. Am going to experiment with paracetamol and fizzy wine.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/03/2017 22:09

Snow you're back! Big hug. Did you slip off the surfboard in a big way? Hope you're ok x

Snowball426 · 10/03/2017 22:11

Haven't catch up with thread cos I couldn't look straight! Or bother to be awake.

But not I'd like to advise, although if like me you don't listen.

After daily 3g to abstaing, please don't think you can go back for a night without serious pain xxxxx

Inarightpickleandchutney · 10/03/2017 22:14

Snowball you've done amazing no matter what.

Lost, I'd go for painkillers for the eyebrows and maybe a wine, not sure they mix well though, always made me a bit nauseous but then my liver is bound to be fucked!

Honestly so disappointed in my face!

There's another thread called the brave babes and they say if you've had an alcohol free day you can wear the smock of smug.

I'm thinking the cape of cokefree?!

Or the garland of good nights?!

Depending on how you've surfed

Snowball426 · 10/03/2017 22:18

It's like a sad and happy time for me.

We had all decided we need to grow up.

But I still feel like Peter Pan!

HoochiMama · 10/03/2017 23:04

Welcome back Snow. Glad you're ok.

Serial - do you not look 25 after your Algae treatment ? How very disappointing!

Currently doing circuits on Circle Line trying to find Essex, where's the mini when you need it?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 10/03/2017 23:13

Good luck hoochi.
I'd be there in a shot if I didn't have to de stench my towels...
Fucking algae Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/03/2017 23:27

I know what you mean, snowball If I binge my body seriously complains these days! Remember you're still doing well, you've pulled back massively. Flowers

I'm thinking a coke less day should be called sitting in the drug free smug tree Pickle ? Bit of a mouthful though..

Hooch Hope you get home safely! Those tube maps start to look like colourful meaningless spaghetti after a few drinks eh.

Nothing is helping the poxy headache of the eyebrows so trying sleep as a remedy. Night lovelies x

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 11/03/2017 00:22

Hoochi my good intentions have also fallen by the wayside. I did try though

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 11/03/2017 08:18

Sitting in the drug free smug tree is exactly what I'm doing lost. A lot of us all have to have the same problem with it being our partners/Dh who are the ones who go get it and come and tempt us with it 😡

serialtester · 11/03/2017 09:07

Yo. Went to bed early had like TEN hours sleep and feel pretty fucking good!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/03/2017 10:00

Yo, Serial have you gone all street? Whassup? Smile

Got glad you're in the smug tree. Me too, I'm sipping drug free smug tea Grin.
It's difficult with a partner that uses. I must admit I'm sometimes the one that pulls dh off the board Blush and also difficult that I have a lot of friends that use so it's temptation everywhere.

I don't want to cut those people out of my life. I am getting better at not giving in everytime but it's HARD!

Sunday and Hooch wishing you a speedy recovery this morning Brew, onwards and upwards x
and armbands for anyone struggling this morning.

HoochiMama · 11/03/2017 10:18

Wish I was sitting in the drug free smug tree! Yuk feel like crap but have no one to blame but myself. No dh/dp to lead me astray, all my own doing. Well done to those who have surfed it out, enjoy a lovely clear headed day. I struggling to get out of bed Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/03/2017 10:26

Take it easy, Hooch that feeling is just awful. Don't make it any worse by kicking yourself! Treat yourself kindly today and stick this morning in The Bank of Motivation for next time Flowers

I'm just relieved you're not still trapped on Circle Line Wink

serialtester · 11/03/2017 11:31

Hooch you'll feel better soon.

Lost, 'sup blud?

(Hello my friends, I'm at home with the family, going to Tescos soon)

Have a good Saturday!

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 11/03/2017 12:07

I was out Ten in Morrisons this morning walking around all smug😂Just trying to find the motivation to start gutting the house top to bottom now

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/03/2017 12:19

Ha ha you can't beat a bit of smug in Morrisons Grin. Good luck gutting your house, sounds like a busy day!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 11/03/2017 18:13

I've fallen jumped with both feet in the water... What's wrong with me??!! I was adamant I wasn't going to - but get fomo if I don't join in... What a sheep! I hope you are all safely surfing calm waters x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/03/2017 18:51

Hi Zig oh dear, it's so hard to resist if other people are doing it. What is Fomo ? Confused
Are you still managing a semi dry March? Mines had it's ups and downs.. To be honest I'm having a mental battle about getting some myself. Really don't want to be ruined for the rest of the weekend but really thinking oh fuck it.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 11/03/2017 18:56

FOMO: fear of missing out

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/03/2017 19:07

Ahh, thanks, pickle! I'm so out of touch.

I thought it was fucked on my own which isn't so bad..me, 2g and a bottle of whiskey, what's not to like.. Grin
