Evening all. I've gone slightly French on Carlsberg but ah aim remainment on ze surfboard.

Sunshine how did you get on when you returned to your old stomping ground?
Feeling a little antsy as we hurtle towards the weekend. I have the 2 week itch. It's funny how I start looking at it with rose tinted glasses and conveniently forget all the drawbacks. Sad

Inarightpickleandchutney · 20/04/2017 22:18

Hey lost, Je suis super French as he suis super pissed.
Make a list on here of things you hate about it, I'll start:
I look like my face needs an iron next few days
I can't breathe without snorting gunk everywhere
I am deathly boring when I talk to people when I'm on Coke and yet I still can't stop

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/04/2017 22:40

Bon soir, Pickle Ha ha yes about the face thing. It definitely ages me, Lord knows what it does to my insides, it seriously damages your wealth, and I really want to get a month clean aka a silver surfing badge!
I must admit I am frightfully interesting on it [deluded face] Wink

Hold tight, it's Friday. .Hope everyone has some good weekendy plans.

My mantra for the day: A month clean will be mine, mwah ha ha.

Bonjoir, ooh la la and Creme de menthe mon surfers. No I'm not drunk for once, was the first French I could think of. Coming up to week 4 pour moi, out tonight so should be ok, tomorrow might be tricky as Mr Bad Influence has been doing his damndest to see me but have managed to avoid for now. Good luck in the choppy waters everyone Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 16:41

Allo my petit Hooch 4 weeks clean is amazing, go you! Have a Silver Surfer badge for your wetsuit Star
I'm pinning my hopes on the cravings being easier to manage after a month off it.
Mr. B.I is certainly persistent..

Been having a crap afternoon trying to help my eldest do his algebra homework. Either maths has got harder or the drugs have damaged my memory because it's bloody impossible. The other dc have been driving me mad too.
I need a drink or something.

serialtester · 21/04/2017 17:09

Bonsoir. 'Ooch well done mon Ami!

Lost - algebra?? Living the dream!

Eurgh it's a nightmare more like. I'm going to cook dinner and then put myself on a lager drip with medicinal fags. I'm really looking forward to it.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/04/2017 17:46

I don't believe I'm saying this, but I've gone overboard.
Met an old friend, he's now dealing, I somehow parted with £100 and have come home.
Completely blindsided me.

Haven't had any does that still count as overboard?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/04/2017 17:55

I don't even know what to do, I wasn't drunk nor in a triggering sitch, he offered and I said yes without even stopping.
What do I bloody do with this bag???

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 18:06

Oh Lord, Pickle. I really want to come over and confiscate it. Just you saying "Bag" has me all antsy for a line. Really struggling today.

As much as it pains me to say it, can you flush it away? Sad
It's understandable by the way. Even if I have the best will in the world, if someone waves it under my nose, I cannot say no.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 18:08

Oh and well done for not doing it immediately. You're strong Pickle.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/04/2017 18:12

It was a robotic action, not one I made consciously! Done before I realised.
Going to flush it.
Anyone got any calming words as I'm shaking

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/04/2017 18:31

Well done for flushing it, you have real balls to do that

CharlieFoxtrotEtch · 21/04/2017 19:00

Hey,
Sorry for going missing. Work is painful at the moment. Angry
I am envious of the ability to flush. Before my ex left, it was easier to be useless at times. My lovely OH is not a biological parent to my DCs, so I struggle to avoid chems. Previously I could do a deep cleanse for a while, but right now..........
It sucks. I have been hospitalised on a couple of occasions after passing out, so I need to keep going this way. Fuck it. Sad
Without giving too much away, I had surgery which took a vital part away. The surgery was unnecessary, but I found out too late. I can't take the NHS medication due to reactions, and the natural meds are not available on the NHS (single license holder, too expensive). I have to buy those from Asia - not illegal, but messy.
Theoretically I would be fine on Ritalin. It was prescribed at one point, but unless I fake ADHD, no more. Gotta laugh at the NHS creating cokeheads. SadSad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 20:28

That all sounds hard, Charlie. I hope you can find a way through what sounds like a minefield. I'm with you, I'm not sure I could actually flush it away Blush What part was taken away with your surgery?! It seems like you're having a tough time. Don't be so hard on yourself Flowers

Pickle where have you gone? Is it flushed? [shocked] I think we need a minute silence for the coke down the pan.

Struggling massively here. I've just had one of those stressy days when you don't feel like yourself. I thought I would feel so happy staying off coke but not sure I am.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/04/2017 21:02

Its flushed. I'm in tears, going to bed

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 21:09

Don't be sad, Pickle you made a mistake that's all, thought better of it and did the amazingly brave thing of getting rid. God, you're only human. I'm pleased to inform you that you've won today's Big Balls of Steel award. Flowers

serialtester · 21/04/2017 21:16

Pickle, fucking hell you are a hero - you bought it and then binned it. You didn't compound ONE bad decision you stopped and took control. Don't cry you daft bloody sod!

Charlie, sounds like you've had a really rough time and not been treated/supported.

I'm totes sober tonight. My mum is poorly and I think I'm gonna be taking her up hospital in a bit. Safe surfing ma petit poi's!'

Pickle - you have more strength than I ever could. I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. WineWine

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 21:20

Well said, Serial, the voice of reason Smile
I hope your mum is ok, sorry she's ill Flowers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/04/2017 21:21

We're all proud of you Pickle!

serialtester · 21/04/2017 21:32

Thanks lost. This time a year ago I'd have been useless on a Friday. She's got pneumonia - drugs ain't working so A+E here we come. On a Friday night!
