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 haven't found any like minded work mates at this job. There should be some sort of secret party animal signal, a handshake or something.

Recovery drinks can be dangerous as they make you feel fine again and think you can carry on. I am safely home now and think I better go to bed before I get silly ideas Yes there should be a secret signal for like minded colleagues like a slow wink and blowing of the nose....

Secret signs include looking very pale and heavy under the eyes on a Monday morning plus being giddy with excitement on a Friday. Runny nose optional!

Get yourself all tucked up Hooch. (That wasn't a typo for fucked up btw!)
I can normally spot "like minded" people a mile off so there probably aren't any. Perhaps the Christmas do will reveal some old ravers if not I'll probably have to leave after making a spectacle of myself over the Christmas lunch.

Haha lost!! It's interesting how we spot our tribe.

There's our surfers Christmas do to look forward to.
Shoe shopping in Amsterdam wearing tribal headdress.

We should really have a Christmas do! It would be fabulous!

Safely pyjamarated now and best turn phone off soon before I get calls from unsavoury friends which I may have instigated earlier in the evening. Night night surfettes xx

P.s I'm up for the Christmas do!

Night Hooch!

We surfed another day. Go us x

Evening surfers. We all having a good weekend?!

Bonjour.
We're going to our local for a few drinks in a while. It's been a mediocre day just running errands and it's pissed with rain all day so I've been looking forward to it.
Come back heatwave, I'm sorry I moaned!
Have a good evening mes amis x

Allo allo. Just waiting for dinner to cook. To be honest I am bored SHITLESS tonight. I want to collect an oven dish.

Mange tout! I feel I should broadcast your picture to the general public with "Don't loan this woman an oven dish" as the caption

This is the problem my friend, real life is actually about 75% quite boring, interspersed with 10% funparts. (I made those percentages up). It's hard to get used to sometimes.

I'm looking forward to going out a bit too much I think. Hopefully I won't take leave of my senses and get messed up. I just have that craving for a blow out.

Actually I missed out sleeping. That's probably 25% of your life. My statistics are fucked.

I'm at an 80s night at a pub in Brighton. Didn't think it would be my cup of tea but merrily singing along ( I seem to know all the words) and sipping white wine. My friends partner just mentioned obtaining Ecstasy (!) I politely declined

How did I know that would post twice!!

How are we all this morning? I am still bored shitless!! Aaaargh!

Good morning. I'm a bit hungover but had quite a good night, mainly drinking at the bar and being a nuisance entertaining with my hilarious banter . Didn't come home and order a shitload of drugs which is progress.

We should have gatecrashed the 80's do. We could have been dancing on pills to Come on Eileen.
Well done for saying no Hooch!

Let's try and embrace the boring Serial x

Hi, not sure if you remember me, I posted for advice a few months ago about my coke addicted husband. You were all so nice and it made me feel better to be able to talk to someone about it. I've been seeing a therapist which has really helped and I've been able to admit my codependent tendencies. Unfortunately my husband and I have separated. In the end he didn't want to get help for his addiction and I couldn't handle the lies and the drugs lying around the house were endangering my children. Now I'm trying to untangle my finances from his (very messy) situation. It's so desperately sad. We've been together 14 years but in the end he didn't want me, only the drugs 😔

Sorry to hear that exhaustedmum, sounds like you've had a really rough time of it.

Oh big hug for you exhausted. I do remember how desperately sad and alone you felt trying to help your husband and hold everything together. I'm glad you're having some talking therapy, none of this is your fault and I think you've made the right decision.

I'm sorry it's come to this but you will get through. Maybe your dh will turn his life around in the future and kick his addiction but it doesn't sound as though he's at that place. Addiction is an awful, life destroying and selfish disease.

Keep strong, I hope things start to get easier.

Hi Exhausted, I remember you too and really sorry to hear your news. If your ex doesn't want to get help or address his addiction then you've totally done the right thing. Nothing worse than being in that situation and worrying the whole time it makes you so ill. It's still really sad after all that time, sending hugs
