The psychological grip cocaine gets on you is like nothing else. It's so hard to walk away from. I find it an almost constant battle. Massive well done from me.
Keep strong Snowball x

Hello again snowball!

Hi Snowball, wow, it sounds like you've been through a lot. Hope being back on here can help.

DustyDuck · 01/06/2017 12:16

I hope we can help, snowball, and that our frequent cravings aren't a trigger. I read about a study that proved watching other people take drugs(even on a video) is a massive trigger, seems obvious really

DustyDuck · 01/06/2017 12:17

I was going to ask Nigella to make the cake for our tea Hmm

serialtester · 01/06/2017 17:59

I think Nigella would be the perfect choice dusty!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/06/2017 18:48

Nigella wouldn't be too shocked by our chequered past. Let's invite her.

Good point Dusty I hope our thread isn't triggering. Watching people take drugs in RL at a party or something is game over for me , I can't not join in. Let's not put any videos of ourselves partying on here...Grin

All good here, even having an alcohol free evening so far!

serialtester · 01/06/2017 21:59

I've not managed the 3 alcohol free days. Am on hols so no fucking chance! Still surfing though!

Not drinking on your holiday would be obscure Serial. Hope you're having a great time. Smile

DustyDuck · 02/06/2017 21:37

Very obscure... how's everyone doing - in the danger zone? I'm surfing tonight but I don't know if MrD has any for tomorrow.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/06/2017 21:46

Well done Dusty Star

I've had a really long day, had a couple of drinks in our local and now feeling done in. Could really do with a pick me up but I'm surfing through it. Really don't want to write off the weekend again.. Cravings are always bad on a Friday.

Hope everyone's having a bon soir Wine

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/06/2017 22:43

Exercise seems to be working as an abstinence method as I'm too knackered to move. Confused

serialtester · 03/06/2017 09:28

I was out last night. Was tres French! I'd quite like to go back to bed!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 09:57

Hope you feel better soon Serial Nice cold fizzy drinks and something with melted cheese on is the way forward. I will be disappointed if you're not holidaying in France. You're practically a local Grin

I've only just got up Blush but have a clear head today so being normal Norma today.

Have a great Saturday surfers x

DustyDuck · 03/06/2017 13:10

What a great name for the baby names thread "I really like the name Norma, but what if my baby isn't normal?"
I often think of slightly trollish threads but never dare to post them Grin

serialtester · 03/06/2017 16:19

The baby names threads are pure gold! Am trying hair of the dog therapy. Think I'll be in bed by 8 tonight.

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 17:03

Thoughts please on the name Normal Norma for a girl.. He he I dare you Dusty.

Good luck with your HOD therapy Serial a couple of drinks will see you off to bed x

Just fell asleep in the garden and have woken up burnt Angry I seem to be on a sleepathon today. So much for being normal! Maybe all those years of all night partying have caught up with me.

serialtester · 03/06/2017 17:15

I had 2 hour nap this afternoon lost!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 17:20

Good Lord, we'll both be sporting granny slippers and a tartan blanket for our afternoon nap soon. Grin

serialtester · 03/06/2017 17:47

That actually sounds really appealing lost!

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 17:59

Maybe we need one of those giant slippers that you put both feet in and we can start watching Midsomer Murders and drinking sherry.

ponzusoup · 03/06/2017 18:15

I keep plopping of the board as my shoe isn't empty yet. Feel ashamed grumpy exhausted and sad.

Glad you are all doing well tho you give me hope.

I'm going for three days no booze Monday to Wednesday next week tho.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 18:29

Ah big hug for you Ponz. None of us are strangers to feeling like that. It's horrible. Please don't beat yourself up. All we can do is keep climbing back on board and carrying on.

How big is this shoe exactly? Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/06/2017 18:31

I've just eaten a six pack of flapjacks. Blush

serialtester · 03/06/2017 20:09

I'm imagining ponz with size 13 feet!!!
