Jive Bishop and The Surfettes: Surfing on

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

Welcome to our support thread for anyone struggling with cocaine. Whether you want to quit, cut down or are someone whose life is affected, all welcome.
We offer non judgemental advice, tips, some absurd chat and most importantly lots of support and encouragement.
Come and join and we'll hopefully all help each other to surf the urges!

I'm going to the pub later but haven't had a drink since Sunday night as trying to stick to the Monday Tuesday sobriety ....

Will try and stay this side of trouble though.

Lost stay on your board - passing the Nose clips and dinghies all round.

If you spot a hot and bothered looking woman trying to drink without her nose clip falling in the glass, we have the same local.

Very tempted to join you in the pub, but wouldn't we end up going to the loos together? In need of consolation as I had an unexpected Written Warning at work today.

Sorry to hear that Dusty, how rubbish! Try not to let it make you go overboard as will make you feel worse.

Sorry to hear that Dusty. Don't worry too much, I always think of written warnings as a slap on the wrist from a jobsworth. How crap though. Consoling for you. Vent on here if you need to!
I'm a bit pissed, what a lightweight! I'm blaming the heatwave. Craving's still going off like an alarm in my head. Gah.

Steady yourself Lost, you don't want the head to toe horrors on a weekday

I've crumbled off my surfboard . Now Dh won't stop talking. Flipping Heck. This isn't relaxing.
Hope you're alright Dusty. Sorry if my previous post was a bit flippant.
It's horrible when you get criticised at work.

No it's ok, it's the incentive I need to actually leave. Would love to have paddled after work but got nothing in. Made do with a massive g&t in the sun.

I'm French on a work night. Like really frenchyvous. I'm more fucked than if I'd had a line or five. Anyone want an oven dish?!

Lost- guarantee I'll feel shitter tomorrow morning!!

Oh dear Serial let's blame the heat for losing our heads.
I'm being quite restrained and going to bed. The gear was a bit shit. Silver lining I suppose.
Glad you're being diplomatic about things Dusty a large G & T sounds like just the remedy x

Overboard as well last night 2 bigs ones before the pub. Just need to finish the god damned shoe. Feel shit this morning but mainly due to the booze.

Day off work but so busy will have to do some at home.

Hope everyone's heads are ok.

Day one. Again.

for all.

How is everyone this morning? Must have been something in the air last night, blame it on the weather. Hope you're not suffering too much.

Ponz, if I was you I would just finish the shoe and be done with it!

Feeling much better myself today but still a bit fragile. Sending hugs to all xxx

I feel ok actually. I don't know what happened yesterday. I was full of resolve for a clean week and then lost the plot. The stuff was disappointingly crap though so I was gutted but maybe it was a blessing in disguise

Christ, I've turned into a coke connoisseur now ... only Columbian Finest for me. I'm such a prat.

I'm joining in the hugs for all those feeling fragile. Let's not dwell, looking forwards.

I feel totally shit. Wiped out. Again. It's got to stop. I think it's mixing with my menopause and ruining me.

Hope others doing better xx

It sounds like you're really suffering with all this menopause stuff Ponz. Take some time out for you today if you can even if that's just a little nap or something. Honestly if men had the menopause they'd probably take a year off!

I agree, I'm fed up with messing my head up with chemicals and it scares me that it has such a hold on me.

Also sick of sound of self moaning lost.

Haha I know what you mean. I'm turning into a professional moaner and all this self awareness is fucking tedious! Hot tired and grumpy today and getting hardly any work done.
Surfing the cravings sounds easy but it's damn hard. I think it's ok to have a little whine on here just to stay sane.

I didn't feel too bad today following my trip to France last night. Was tempted to go to the pub on the way home tonight - but I was strong!!

Trez bein Mon petit pois. I've felt progressively more crap and discombobulated today. A progressive come down, whatever next!
Shower and one cold beer for me tonight. Can't be flaky at work again tomorrow.

Was imagining if all drugs legal and marketed: "Special snow, helping you through your menopause"

"Lady Lines. There for the hard times in life"

Dusty you are a card.
"Meno- mend. In one simple sachet" Forget night sweats, you won't be going to bed.

*also available as a shoe insert

Meno Pause - a line will take you right back.
