How is everyone?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/11/2017 19:18

What exactly are you doing with the Cilit Bang Cleaning? Is this some sort of legal high I don't know about? Grin

Well done those still on board. I'm quite pissed already Bonjour je suis French ce soir. Wine

Off to bed soon. Only one cig today Halo

Can't believe it's day 11 tomorrow.

Night all x

ponzusoup · 10/11/2017 21:08

Yep. At least it won’t end up in the shoe if I share it with you lot!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/11/2017 21:17

I suspect it would be less of an intervention, more Epic Ponz Party. Finishing with a game of hunt the shoe at 3am. Hmm

Hi everyone.

I havent posted on here in a while hope you remember me. I am lurking almost every day laughing but also sympathising (sp?) Is it a Z or an S?!

Also Flowers and welcome to the thread to the new poster.

Im totally not doing well at the moment which is why I havent contributed since the last thread I feel very embarrased. Have done almost every weekend except last weekend over the last month or so felt so much better on sunday. However, did it overnight on sunday night and really really overdid it, DP even missed work on Monday. We have promised eachother that after the new year we will stop again properly although we want to stop now obviously but properly no more after new year as in delete the dealers number kinda serious.

I always console myself and tell myself its okay because DP does it too when I do so its not a problem. But hes gone on a night shift and I got some to myself. Ive had nearly all of it while on the phone to my friend I was planning to save at least some, FFS im so dissapointed in myself. I really am. I had one line and then started this post, got distracted by the phone call and had it all nearly.

I was actually laid in bed the other night and thinking i will come off contraception and get pregnant in order to give me the kick to stop this because I know I wouldnt do it if pregnant. I was even planning that if I get pregnant in Jan i wont miss out on xmas or anything in the 9 months so I wouldnt be tempted. For fucks sake. I wont obviously but I just hate its got such a hold on me even though I know its all in my head. I said I wasnt going to have any tonight but got the money for it out of the bank on my way home so obviously I knew I would. DP wasnt supposed to be working so id kind of convinced myself we would have it so I think I just did it because I was expecting it. I dont know. I really dont. When I have it alone I feel like such a dick. I really am such a fucking idiot.

Anyway the reason im typing this now even though im rambling right now (imagine if I was with you in RL id be talking your ears off like I just have on the phone to my friend). Is that I do read the thread a lot even though I dont contribute too often and when I do its spouting off about myself so I look self centered but every surfer I relate to you all. I read this thread midweek when I had a craving and stopped myself so I love that this thread is here because every poster on MN seems so bloody perfect.

Lost one more thing (I know, i know I could talk your ear off). I sometimes see your username on other threads and think you are really level headed and your opinion on here is usually spot on with mine, adding a bit of realism to the madness that is MN.

I have got a night out tomorrow so I hope I feel shit enough to not have any more and im back on my surfboard. I hope.

Keep posting and supporting eachother its lovely and great to have a bit of a laugh with you all too plus I lurk and did do before I first posted so you never know who else you are helping. Flowers . Going to try and sleep now although i'll probably be too wired. Good night all and thanks again Flowers

NameChange60 · 11/11/2017 02:46

I feel really paranoid about that paragraoh about Lost on threads now. I dont mean everybody elses opinion on other threads is invalid/ i dont agree with I just recognise Losts username on threads and agree. Ha, right im deffo rambling im sure you understand what its like at 2.45 am. Goodnight all. X

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 11/11/2017 10:06

That's ok Name change, I do talk a lot of crap at the best of times 😂

I'm on Day 11 and a big difference has been dh really wanting to kick the habit. We've been motivating each other but I think next weekend is dodgy territory as we have a party to go to Shock

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/11/2017 10:23

Morning surfers Smile
Glad you're still bobbing along with us Name. It's hard to know why we do it eh? The reasons behind my stupid decisions are a mystery to me. I think I just put my head in the sand and ignore that voice telling me it's not a good idea.
Big hug for you this morning. Keep looking forwards. You can do this and we'll cheer you on.

How embarrassing that you've seen me on other threads giving out advice when my own life's a shambles! I'm such a twat Grin

Found it hard to stay on board last night but managed to find some will power. I spent half the evening thinking about it though- what a waste of brain power.

Hello everyone, still surfing here! Nice to see you again name change, how are you feeling today?

flatwhite45 · 11/11/2017 22:52

Hello lovely surfers.....a blast from the past here. Been watching from afar and loving the amazing banter and camaraderie. I seem to have gone a little way to breaking the soul destroying cycle of once a week binges, horrific comedowns, swearing I would never do it again, then the intense cravings and the inevitable picking up again. I am now three months clean and sober. It's been the hardest and best fucking experience of my life. I still have a long way to go, but just so relieved to be finally making a little progress.

flatwhite45 · 11/11/2017 22:53

I wish you all lots of luck and love in your efforts to kick this shitty drug, your support for one another is awesome

serialtester · 12/11/2017 07:45

Wow flat! Well done!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/11/2017 09:28

It's Professor White! Lovely to hear from you Flat. I was wondering how you were, so pleased you're doing well. 3 months clean is amazing. You've come so far from when you first joined feeling so desperate and trapped in that horrible cycle you describe. It's really heartening.

Hopefully I'm beginning to break the cycle too. I don't want to be stuck on the sinister coke merry go round anymore!

That said, I really struggled last night with bad cravings. It was just making me so irritable I had to take myself off to bed in a grump Blush
Feel like a different person this morning though, waking up with the sun shining.

HoochiMama · 12/11/2017 14:56

Hey Flat, well done that's brilliant progress!

Well my natural high disappeared with the boredom of a weekend with nothing to do. Attempted to be 'normal' with Mr Rehab and go for a meal last night but he was already on it after seeing a friend so we had a rushed not enjoyable meal and then back on it. Gah, I would be fine if I didn't see him but none of my friends live near and if I don't plan far in advance to keep busy I'm doomed.

Well done everyone else for staying onboard. Hope you're reaping the rewards today, I'm not moving from the sofa Hmm

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/11/2017 19:34

Easy to slip up Hooch hope you're feeling a bit better now. BrewCake I know what you mean about keeping busy. It's about the only thing keeping me on board recently.
We took our 2 little nieces out for a meal. It was hard work keeping them sitting still and I'm covered in food. I think I would've preferred dinner with Mr Rehab!

Wonder how our Ponz is getting on..Envy

OP posts:
HoochiMama · 12/11/2017 20:03

Ah yes I forgot about Ponz's delivery Confused Feeling a bit better, wasn't the worst comedown ever but still not pleasant. Think I would have preferred lunch with your nieces Lost, Mr R wasn't great company - too wired, I don't know how he managed to eat a pizza!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/11/2017 20:18

Neither do I. It must have been like eating sandpaper with wood chips on it. Grin

ponzusoup · 12/11/2017 22:55

It arrived. I had one line. It was not worth it. Ballsed up my clean time. Need to get it out of the house Confused
