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!

Evening surfers.
I've managed a whole week of (hardly) drinking or sniffing. Have felt quite miserable though most of the week without anything to take the edge off boring reality!

Serial hope you're ok after the shock of your burglary? I'm angry on your behalf, bloody cheeky bastards.

Hope we're all swerving the dangerous waters tonight. I'm rewarding a "good" week by getting slightly pissed.

I have NC back to other username from previous discussions, but wanted to send my thoughts to Serial. Quite how these arses think they have the right to assault you, and your personal space is beyond me.

I'll NC back later and fill in more........

Power to all surfers tonight. I'm a bit drunk. But that's all. Please stop me From putting in an order tonight - dealer in town!

I've splashed and I feel like shit. If that's how I feel while I'm high can't wait for the comedown!
I'm am am idiot - don't do drugs kids.

Ah Serial hope you're not feeling too terrible this morning and managed to get some sleep. It's understandable after your crappy week.

Once the high starts to wear off and you realise your heart's racing, your muscles are all tense and the anxiety kicks in, it's not that fun is it? I've been that person at 3am far too many times.

I wonder who the surfer was last night that came on disguised as Loved? You have a mystery fan Serial.

Hope you avoided temptation last night Ponz I'm sorry I didn't see your shouts for help. I was drinking myself into a stupor This has got to stop. I feel bloody awful this morning. There was a drunken conversation about picking up but it didn't happen

I didn't feel too bad today thankfully - will be having a VERY early night tonight though.

Perhaps you had one of those super fast comedowns at 3am Serial and it lessened the blow today?
I get that sometimes if I'm very tired and do very strong gear. It feels a bit like falling off a cliff when it leaves your system.

Hope you're not too down today about things. Cosy pjs and bed sounds like a good remedy.

To cheer you up Serial Russel Brand is on Jonathon Ross talking about his addictions and looking pretty foxy in his leather trousers.

Morning all, I went overboard on Friday but was too embarrassed to come on here after all my resolutions to be clean til Christmas or even the end of the month. DS is at his Dads for weekend and had nothing to do so invited Mr Rehab over. I have never been so ill yesterday, am hoping it teaches me a lesson but hasn't seemed to in the past. I would be ok if I had stuff to do but can't even exercise at the moment as have a bad back that is really getting me down. Anyway well done those of you that surfed and hope you're ok now Serial. I saw Russell Brand on Loose Women, was thinking of buying his book but worried I might get funny looks on the train! Have a lovely sunny day everyone x

Don't be embarrassed Hooch, we're all in the same boat. I'm sorry you felt so awful yesterday.
I'm the same, it's just so easy to fixate on the high and nothing else. We want to change so we'll just have to keep climbing back on our boards and keep going!

I like your Clean Til Christmas plan. Like an advent calendar with nothing behind each door.

I'd like to read Russel's book. It was hard to follow what he was saying about it as he talks at 100 mph.

Thanks Lost, currently at that guilt and self loathing stage. Mr Rehab still here but we didn't do anything last night, I would probably ended up I. A&E if we had. Read the 1st bit of Russell's book online. Can identify with some of it.. Am I fucked up? Do I wish to not be flucked up? Yes and yes. Not sure I can cope with his wittering on though! Well done on a clean weekend

Hmm I can't help thinking Russel has been affected by all those drugs he took. I am the female version of him, always wittering on and having deep revelations

Have a good Sunday all. Hopefully everyone else is quiet because they're busy gardening and going on countryside rambles etc rather than face down in a post party semi coma.

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing okay.

Hooch very very easily done. Get back on that board!

Today marks 2 weeks for me. I am bloody craving its horrible dp is out tonight and i want him to bring some back. Havent told him this obviously and hopefully i will be in bed before he gets back! Trying to stay on my surfboard.

I have had a really good Sunday. On Friday I thought I'd done irreparable damage to a really good friendship and my comedown yesterday didn't help. Everything feels back on track and manageable tonight. Here's to a positive and happy week.

Hi Name, well done on 2 weeks Lets hope Mr N doesn't bring any back. Feeling much better now, until the next time punches self in head

Glad you're feeling better Serial, grim isn't it. At least you didn't puke in the kitchen sink though Sorry for over sharing!

I didn't do that hooch but I stayed up on my own drinking lager and sniffing until 7am yesterday. What on earth was I thinking?!

Oh Lordy Serial no wonder you've been quiet. That's what I'd call a bender. gutted you didn't invite me I drive myself mad trying to work out what I'm thinking in mad moments. It's such an easy route to immediate euphoria I just don't think that's the trouble!

So glad you're back feeling positive and hope you can sort things out with your friend.

Well done for getting it in the sink Hooch

Hello Name the cravings are a bloody nuisance, just all consuming sometimes. Hope you're tucked up in bed..

We're on our last page of the thread if any of you lovely surfers want to start a new one.. I think I'm now classed as a surfing veteran I've been doing it so long.

If not I'll try later tomorrow.

Looks like it's been a mixed weekend !

to all those getting back on their boards.

I finished the shoe ( tiny line) on sat cos I though dealer would bring more... and he couldn't get any!!!!

So I'm out of goods. With v little chance of getting any for 6 weeks. If that isn't an opportunity I don't know what is!!!!
