Yep, see you in the Danger zone tomorrow, Got. Feeling quite strong on my surfboard but will be donning a snorkel for good measure. Wink

Had a MASSIVELY fun night out. Home now. It involved food, beer, football, pool and lots of laughs. Having a bottle of lager then going to bed. No dangerous waters this evening!

Fantastic serial! So pleased for you.

It's such a revelation isn't it?!

serialtester · 24/02/2017 09:09

I am 100% better after the drinking nightmare of yesterday.
I was so so close to cracking but I really am glad I didn't.

Once again in the weekend danger zone 'top gun' is in my head now! But I've worked out I've given myself a tiny bit of self confidence, I actually look better.
At my worst I weighed 7st 6, and at 5ft 8 I was not in a good way. All I did was sniff and took multi vitamins because I couldn't swallow food while off my tits.
Got on scales today and I weigh over 9 stone, so while still low I'm not skeletal.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 09:31

Ooh plus!!! Go me!! My days clean have gone past 200 mark!

Still get top gun moments but that's really helped,
I'm quite proud!

Well done pickle!

serial you're an inspiration. That is what I aspire to; good old fashioned going out, beer, (not too bothered about the football element but each to their own) and lots of laughs. The silver surfer medal is still yours.

pickle glad you're better. I've been down that road of multi vitamins and energy drinks and ddruuggs and it's not a very nice road. Go you for exiting that road!

Cheer for the team woo hoo. Brew coffee for everyone.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 11:42

So what we all doing tonight?
I'm thinking about a curry already (know it's not even lunchtime yet!)
Might treat myself to some new bath bubbles and hoping not to make any phone calls, maybe one wine Smile

serialtester · 24/02/2017 11:46

I'm mainly planning wine!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 16:34

Had a whole afternoon out in the park with the youngest and my lovely sisters. It's been a beautiful sunny day. Came home to a house trashed by teenagers and friends so now clearing up, emptying bins, hoovering and grumbling...!

My plans for tonight are at the moment centred around sitting down. Will probably throw some wine or beer into the mix. Feeling a bit edgy and stressed and aaarrgh but I'm sure I'll be fine once the house is straightened out and I've had a lager and twelve fags

Expecting a challenging surf tonight. My brain seems to be hard wired to seek out cocaine on a Friday Sad I'm ignoring my brain at the moment.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 16:39

God I really want a line Sad

serialtester · 24/02/2017 17:01

I'm hitting you over the head with an arm band Lost. Mind you, I'm drinking wine and listening to Tricky and Massive Attack - a bit triggering tbh! I want an E, a line and a big fat spliff. And it's only 5 o'clock! FFS!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 17:18

I'll pop round in 5 with my glow sticks serial. Love a bit of Massive Attack.
Feel in a dangerous fuck it mood. Oh dear who am I trying to kid thinking I can go to a fucking mad wedding party tomorrow and not do anything. My confidence seems to have evaporated along with my will power.

serialtester · 24/02/2017 17:34

You can do tonight. Think about tomorrow tomorrow.

Let's put on paradise circus and pretend to smoke a fat one.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 17:48

Paradise circus will calm me. I always feel like clapping to the beat of that tune but never get it quite right Confused.

The lager is calming me. Of course I can't get all dressed up tomorrow and turn up with MASSIVE COMEDOWN; I HAVEN'T SLEPT written all over my face. That would be bad form indeed.

serialtester · 24/02/2017 18:07

The clapping is INSANE! You can't go anywhere tomorrow if you get battered tonight. We can do this lost.

Hiya... couple of awful days at work. Probably gonna fall overboard tonight Sad on the plus side I haven't smoked in nearly a week Smile

serialtester · 24/02/2017 18:30

Cleaning - arm band smack for you too!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2017 18:35

Thank the Lord the comedy moustache is no more.

Cleaning sorry you're having a shit time Flowers. You've done so well without fags for a week. I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind without my old friend nicotine. If you can say no to fags, you can say no to those lines, running through your mind. If I can, you can!!

serialtester · 24/02/2017 18:48

Jesus, saying no to coke is generally (but not in the moment) a billion times easier than saying no to fags.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 24/02/2017 19:14
