The bishop leads the turkeys out of dangerous waters. Arm bands optional.

Open!!

No worries, Zig welcome to our thread. I'm not far off your age but I think I'm in denial , certainly too old to be mucking about with this crap in my life! Hope you stick around. Although we do talk a load of rubbish sometimes, I've found this thread endlessly supportive and non judgemental.

Calling it a night lovely people.

How are we all doing today?

I've fallen off the wagon I was never really on... I think I need to face up to certain facts - what were once indulgences have become habits...

But all my best friends indulge - I can't just cleave myself away from them

Morning, feeling tired, hungover and guilty here. Wish I had an off switch. Will try harder today I hope. If I would stop drinking I would stop the white stuff. It seems to go hand in hand for me...
Pickle - I'm sure your dd would love riding. Maybe you would too?! It's a great way to get out in the fresh air and to spend a fortune
Lost - will you be in the danger zone tonight? Could you go fancy-dress in full goggles and snorkel? It'd make it much more awkward to sniff anything whilst keeping up the surfing theme

Thanks for being so welcoming. It feels good to be honest and open.

Morning morning for all.

Hi Jerry it sort of creeps up on you doesn't it? Then you realise you're not really taking or leaving it, it's a habit. But yes so difficult when all you're friends are into it. You could try one sober weekend just to prove to yourself you can?

I'm not so much in the Danger Zone tonight, zig as attempting to surf through a Tsunami in gale force winds!!
(drama queen- me?)
I really want to prove to myself that I can resist it and still have a good time. Goggles and snorkel may well be the way forward or ramming an armband over my entire head.
For anyone who fell overboard; hope you feel better soon, be kind to yourself today

Have a great Saturday x

Lost let's try think of a plan to help you resist? I would say don't drink but know fine well as soon as you go and the free drinks are there that will fly out the window and then temptation will set in.

Can you try mingle with those who won't have it and stay away from those who will? Can you make plans to reward yourself with something tomorrow if you resist? Something really good. No idea what.

I should be okay tonight I hope. Going to visit my great aunt in hospital this evening who had a heart attack! So hoping I will come home get pjs on and be safe. Got a throbbing headache and a kids party at 12 so could be pushed towards thinking ah fuck it. When you go to sleep at ten and wake up feeling shit when you are suppose to be feeling fresh it kinda makes you think what's the point when you feel shit regardless !

Well done Got! Flippin heck a henry...

Dh and I shared a g last night. I caved after a monumentally shit 48 hours. First time I'd done that much in weeks as I've only been doing little bits here and there.

Got meetings booked in next week sort of like informal interviews. Director cunt face is getter more and more aly by the day 🐍

Dm is getting narky that I'm not spending any time with my family (ie parents and brother) and it's doing my head in.

I want to go and live on Pluto with dh and ds... can you surf there??

When you go to sleep at ten and wake up feeling shit when you are suppose to be feeling fresh it kinda makes you think what's the point when you feel shit regardless

Ha ha so true! Hope you feel better soon. Sniff the flowers I'm sending you instead of the white lady

Oh sounds like a busy day for you, got. Sorry about your great aunt

Thanks for the tips. I'm just planning on having a couple of drinks and not staying too late and ignoring the fuck it switch
Hope you're getting on ok with your personal trainer and getting fit scheme. Perhaps I could take him instead of dh and he can remind me my body's a temple all evening?

Cleaning don't beat yourself over the head with your surfboard sweet. Your life sounds very stressful and difficult at the moment. No one needs a director cunt face in their life. I don't think you'd be blamed for beating him to death with the office stapler.

I'll come and live on Pluto with you. As long as there's an offy, Tesco metro and a Boots there, and a pub.

Deal lost! Thanks... Good luck today. I always drive to weddings or else the white lady becomes my favourite dance partner very quickly

Hmm, there is the slight problem that I don't think I can dance sober.

Keeping on the straight and narrow for my health regime cheers lost. Although it is all to go to Ibiza to get out my tits 😂

Been at the pub watching the rugby. Am pretty pissed. lost I will try and throw you an arm band but my aim is off!! Just do your best and have a great night whatever happens.

Evening surfers! I'm heading out for dinner with a friend and 3 DD's between us.
Hoping for a 'normal' meal with a bit of fun chat then home around 8-8.30.
Normal is just a bit beige sometimes but I'm trying to find the joy so I don't invest in a Colombian holiday home!

I am seriously in the danger zone tonight. Staying over at OH's and he's just nipped out "to get something from somebody".

Hiya a very chilled one here... dh barely functioned all day and ds was gutted. I was about 80% fine but he wanted his dad, fair enough. As I've said before I find it hard to quit because I function pretty well. Dh drinks a lot when he's on it and it can't go on

The positive I'm drawing is that it was a wake up call for him. He's said he doesn't mind if I do it but I'm not going to do that without him.

Btw got... out or off? Or both

Eeeek wtf the witty? Whack him with a snorkel!! Him and his mate!

I'm back surfers and managed to avoid turning into a nightmare coke fuelled wedding guest . We actually came away as the party was getting good messy so I do actually have some will power!

I must admit we didn't takse the car. Dh and I discovered our new favourite drink; Jager bombs with red bull so got quite a buzz on from them. Was fun getting dressed up and going but you are so right, pickle It was beige rather than multi coloured with sparkles.

Hope everyone's ok?

Cleaning sorry your dh has been rough today but hopefully a small epiphany for him. (3rd epiphany for our thread so he gets a certificate)

serial Are you passed out on your board after the pub?

witty Are you overboard? wish my dh would nip out for something

Now I'm home I'm really craving the RUSSHHH of a line. I'm hopeless.

Soz trying to catch up with the thread.

Found I good way to reducing, sharing. But ended up in a travelogue?????

Is the better or worse? Maybe, goggles, armbands, rubber ring, those crocodiles that you always fall off or super cool swans in pink could be better.

snowball It's been a while. Big hug for you.
Bit confused, are you in a Travel lodge hotel or in some sort of travel brochure?

Have you hooked up with the guy you were seeing? You sound a little happier anyway.
Throwing you a large inflatable croc and a pedalo swan boat!

I'm confused too. Travel lodge last night! And ohhhh what a night!!!

I'm still here! Lost - WELL BLOODY DONE!!!!!

Snowball - great to see you again! You in a hotel? How? Why?

Haha cleaning off my tits, won't be getting these boys out again 😂

I'm in safe zone I'm feeling very confident I can throw lots of armbands to those who need them! Dh is going to the gym in the morning so he's not trying to tempt me.

Lost if you left the party cause it was getting messy (fun) to stay on the straight and narrow then it would be completely mental to now get stuff when you could of stayed their and had a right party.

Crap. I went overboard too this week. For old times sake, which is the WORST reason. Now, I'd better catch up on everyone. What's this school trip?!!
