I'm a twat too Ponz. I keep having to quash stupid thoughts in my head that I've earned it this weekend, I've been good this week, heck I deserve it. Hmm I'm clearly not wired up right and I'll have to sit on my hands this weekend.

Good news about mini ponz. Off to dream about Noel. Night all x

Since I seem to have turned into Mother Theresa this week....no alcohol since last Sat and that was only 2 glasses of wine, I shall give out some advice Lost. Think not that you have earned a line, think that you have earned a nice relaxing clear headed weekend and don't want to ruin it by feeling like shite. That said I can't wait to have a drink later, who knows what will happen then Confused

Glad to hear mini Ponz had a good first week at school Smile

serialtester · 08/09/2017 17:18

I knew mini ponz would be ok!

What's happened to you Hooch and what have you done with the real Hooch? Grin

Thanks though. I'm starting to get it it; thinking about the gains rather than the losses. I'd bite your hand off if you offered me a line but I'm home and my phone's still in my bag. So far so good..

You'll enjoy your drink all the more for abstaining this week. Delayed gratification and all that.

Fear not Lost, the real Hooch has returned after 2 glasses of wine. Such a lightweight. Think I may have had a virus or something Hmm I would kill for a line too and even considered calling Mr BI for a moment WTF! But I am sticking to my resolve and keeping phone firmly in bag too. May the force be with us!

I'm trying not to go to a galaxy far far away Hmm

Hope you're not coming down with something Hooch. That would be ironic after being so good all week! Just having a few beers here and suffering with a wobbly board.

HoochiMama · 09/09/2017 09:44

That went well...Hmm Saw Mr Rehab instead, mostly hungover and able to function so could have been worse

Mostly hungover here. A friend of ours knocked round about 10 last night bearing gifts so I went slightly overboard. Blush
Oh my head.

Bit of a hangover here too! Nothing a bacon sarnie won't cure.

Evening all.
Have another terrible headache today and stiff neck. I'm so fed up with these mental headaches. The worst part is I know it's probably just a symptom of my "lifestyle". Sad

I really want to get motivated to be healthier and control my impulses better. Haven't quite worked out a plan to achieve that though.
I'm watching Dr. Foster and drinking wine instead.

I've blown out my friend as well today, telling her I was coming down with something. I'm such a flake.

The muscle aches are shit. I've turned down an invite to a thing tonight where I knew coke would be available. I am torn between feeling glad that I'll be "well" tomorrow and really bloody bored. Am also drinking wine!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/09/2017 21:22

I understand that feeling Serial. The thought people you know are getting bang on it and you could be there drives you mad.
Good swerve though. I think you've earned yourself a few wines just to numb the FOMO Wink

Cheers Wine

Bottoms up lost!

DustyDuck · 09/09/2017 22:53

Bottoms up, we are Cuban tonight! Have surfed through post work drink,sex, cooked a meal, back to pub, all the while craving but not wanting to ask if we could get some in. Heard MrD telling someone we are having a couple of weeks off it! That is such good news, I wasn't sure he was really on board.,

Good Lord did the sex happen at the post work drinks? Shock Grin

I'm aiming for 2 weeks clean Dusty let's cheer each other on. Great if you have a cheerleader at home too (in the form of Mr.D).

OP posts:
DustyDuck · 09/09/2017 23:37

He is so not the cheerleader type, he is a live-in Mr BI normally. Last week I said I really don't want to do this every weekend. I've not brought it up since but good to know it's sinking in.

Get him some pom poms Grin
The "I don't want to do this" conversation is a difficult one. I'm sure he listened x

HoochiMama · 10/09/2017 08:08

Why why why? That's what I'm asking myself. Mr Rehab stayed round and we carried on yesterday, I now feel horrendous and have a family lunch to go to. I've actually have a physical pain of the horrors in my chest, could even feel it when I was asleep! I much preferred the sensible non drinking Hooch. Glad you lot have surfed it out. Well done Mr D for being good, your day sounded very eventful Dusty!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/09/2017 08:45

Been there Hooch I get myself in a terrible state and then panic because I feel so awful, heart racing, chest hurting and pounding head.
It's so hard to work out why I do that too.

Don't ananlyse all that just now though. Just concentrate on resting and making yourself feel better. Cake Brew Flowers

I would put on a brave face (thank God for make up) and style out the family dinner but you don't have to go. You can just apologise and tell them you're ill today? You don't have to decide just now.
Stay chilled x

Poor old hooch. It's a horrible feeling. Drink loads of water. Have a nice bath and take it easy.

ponzusoup · 10/09/2017 09:42

Morning dudettes. Looks like mixed fortunes out there. Carbs and tea hooch. These things will pass. I'm over a week clean. . One line left in the shoe. For first time in years I might just let the shoe run dry. I am drinking bloody loads tho but hangovers are not as bad as with both.

Trying to put my finger on what's driving my abstinence and it is most definitely lack of availability first coupled with just wanting to protect my mental health and be in a better mood for DP and the kids. Also just not really getting a proper buzz from it anymore.

Now I need to get on top of the booze which will be a bit harder I think.

Hooch you will feel better tomorrow. Remember you can do two weeks clean but mr rehab he has to stay away. You can't get you can't use. Simple as. Sending you a hug today tho love.
