Don't be embarrassed Ponzu, that's what we're here for.

Not feeling mucho Olympian here now, Was meant to be going out tonight but my friend is ill. DS at his dads again, ho hum what shall I do...

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 18:37

Don't be embarrassed Ponz the last thing you need on top of a comedown is a layer of shame. I find it helps to come on here and confess. Do something nice for yourself today and maybe a nice early night with yoga Tim? x

I nearly fell off too last night. My cravings were awful, nothing was helping and everything was annoying me, even the way dh was breathing. Hell, I was annoying myself!
I'm hoping all these displacement activities like the running will give me a different focus. Confused

P.s. I'm not an olympian, I haven't actually started running yet Blush

serialtester · 20/05/2017 18:45

Lost, just thinking about running counts! I often think that if I didn't smoke, drink and have a constant battle against the sniffy sniffy I'd be super fit. But I'd also be bored as fuck.

Maybe you could give yourself a pampering evening Hooch? Nice bath, do your nails etc. Start a poxy colouring in book? Or not.

Fuck me, life is dull without drugs. I miss the buzz.
I commenced drinking Stella at 5, wish me luck.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 18:48

Thinking about running counts? Like imaginary exercise Grin.
Thanks for the encouragement Serial you're a good soul. Cheers to that.

HoochiMama · 20/05/2017 19:03

Never been one for all that pampering stuff but thanks anyway. I have commenced on the vodka, don't think I will go overboard as involves far too much effort!

Good luck, maybe channel your inner Paula Radcliffe Wink

serialtester · 20/05/2017 20:05

I commenced on the lager at 4. I'm a pro drinking athlete!,

I'm on a drinkathon and going for a personal best in fags. Channelling my inner Olympian here. Serial you are representing France.
Hooch can take the Russian baton with the Vodka.

DustyDuck · 20/05/2017 20:47

Just made a pizza and drinking Pinot Grigio. Guess I'm Italy Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/05/2017 20:55

We're so multi cultural, man.

ponzusoup · 20/05/2017 21:58

DP bought champagne and oysters he's Irish so I could do Franco Irish contingent

serialtester · 20/05/2017 23:08

I think le French might have gold tonight. Am battered! Glad though that we are a multi cultural bunch!

Congratulations on your Gold Serial Wink

Champagne and oysters sounds very glamorous Ponz were you celebrating?

I'm a bit fuzzy headed here. Drinking to blot out the drug cravings is probably not the best coping method. Confused

Anyhow, on we surf.. lots of people in the smug tree today, enjoy!
Have a lovely Sunday all. Smile

serialtester · 21/05/2017 10:47

You're doing really really well lost!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/05/2017 11:46

Mercy buckets Serial I think we're getting there.

HoochiMama · 21/05/2017 11:56

Did we all manage to surf it out last night?! Well done everyone Star

Drinking loads to block it out is a good first step I think. Then maybe cut down bit by bit. Running too far also works as I could not move from the sofa last night so was happy to drink vodka and veg out Smile

Have a great Sunday everyone x

HoochiMama · 21/05/2017 11:57

Lost 3 weeks!! High five! Smile

DustyDuck · 21/05/2017 14:30

Trouble with drinking loads to block out cravings is that Drunk Me thinks it would be a great accompaniment.
Holding on here over a boozy Sunday lunch.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/05/2017 15:45

Yes I know that feeling very well Dusty catch 22 situation.
Hold onto the last shreds of your will power if you can. Coming round on Monday morning feeling the pain of the night before is awful!
I'm throwing you an inflatable crocodile to lie on.

High five to Hooch Let's cheer each other on to get a month clean.

DustyDuck · 21/05/2017 20:37

Wow that crocodile was just what I needed. That and I had told MrD I am having a clean weekend so he didn't offer. Tres Francais ici, encore du vin! WineWineWine

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/05/2017 20:44

Go Dusty Grin I'm glad you went for drinking on the blow up croc instead.
I'm surfing out the rest of the weekend too. Go us

DustyDuck · 21/05/2017 20:50

Ah, les Pom-poms. C'est magnifique!

serialtester · 21/05/2017 21:33
