Anyone up?

serialtester · 27/01/2018 07:43

Fated - you ok?

10 weeks clean here. Do I get a badge?

HoochiMama · 27/01/2018 10:40

Well done Serial, that's fantastic! You get more than a badge. Please accept this 'surfing' trophy...

Ginger, hope your ok. Very hard to split from someone you love but is bad for you. I had to do the same with DS's dad. It does get better. And yes adulting is hard especially by yourself. I thought that this morning when I accidentally ended up driving into a field whilst dropping DS at an activity Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/01/2018 11:21

Hooch you always make me laugh. Hope you didn't scare any cows Grin I got a small tree stuck under my car once.

Ginger hug for you. Hope you resisted last night. A break up and 2 assignments to do? Urgh poor you Flowers Sometimes you can get an extension on uni coursework. If you're struggling after splitting with dp you could ask? Anyway, hope you're ok.

Loving Serial's Surfing trophy! I was going to suggest a badge and some complimentary oven dishes. Hmm
Firing a small party popper for my one week clean here!

Well done on a week lost!

DustyDuck · 27/01/2018 23:33

No it's next week lost but TIA as they say!
An uneventful and clean weekend, last weekend only 3 (scraped together) lines , so feeling a bit good. But not going to get that trophy.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/01/2018 23:43

Oops. I had visions of you partying hard Dusty but you're just at home with a cup of tea and slippers. Grin
You can have one of my party poppers for your clean weekend.

Last night I managed to source some gear for a friend without having any myself. It was tempting though.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/01/2018 11:24

Excellent surfboard control Serial! I swerved it too.

I can manage two weeks clean without too much difficulty. It's just beyond that I forget why I'm doing this, decide I don't have a problem anymore and jump off. Hmm

Enjoy your Sunday all. Flowers

Oh in my head last night I had it all planned out. I would just have 1 line and I'd be totally fine. Thankfully sensible me made the call and went straight home.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/01/2018 19:05

Gawd I tell myself that nearly every time. I'll just have a cheeky one and get myself off to bed, I can totally do that, there's not going to be any problems..
Fast forward to 2am and me off my tits trying to text someone for more.

Good call Serial Smile How you made your legs walk away is unfathomable.

serialtester · 28/01/2018 21:26

My common sense clearly resides in my legs!! I knew though where one line would lead me - a huge binge and being totally fucked up today. My self control recently is quite a shock to me.

serialtester · 28/01/2018 21:27

I do keep feeling a bit deprived though, which is ridiculous.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 28/01/2018 21:56

I suppose the trick is to think of the gains rather than the losses? Like I fail to do a lot.

At least you have some common sense Serial even if it is in your legs Grin

Here's to a new week all and lots of lovely early nights.

HoochiMama · 28/01/2018 23:16

Nice one Serial. Sounds like your legs have a sensible mind of their own!

Lost in answer to your previous question, not only did Mr BI message me back on Friday I bloody bumped into him in the High St today. Luckily I wasn't wearing any make up and hadn't washed my hair so hopefully that put him off any further contact Grin

Have a good week everyone x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 29/01/2018 20:51

It's always the way - if you go out looking a bit rough you always bump into everyone you know! At least it worked in your favour this time, although I'm sure you looked fine Hooch.

I have some friendships that are based purely on our love of coke. I have let some drift because I don't need any more encouragement!
I find everyone fascinating and amazing on it and can chat for hours fuck knows what about we don't have much to say to each other in real life. Confused

Really tired after work and a run go me. Early bath and bed here.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 29/01/2018 21:07

Hope you're alright Ginger? and managed to get some of your projects finished.

Ah balls fell off board tonight but feeling philosophical as have no more scraped line from shoe Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 31/01/2018 22:46

You can draw a line under it (excuse the pun) now it's gone Ponz. Take care of yourself.
Drooling at the thought of a line here. Having a long exhausting week and the longing to escape real life for a while is strong!

I am one month clean today Smile

HoochiMama · 01/02/2018 22:28

Well done Waitrose! Star

serialtester · 02/02/2018 19:01

Great stuff Waitrose!

DustyDuck · 02/02/2018 23:13

Out celebrating my birthday. What a shame my Xolumbian birthday present was intercepted at the airport. Never trust a builder,eh?
(LIGHTHEARTED OBVS I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2018 10:21

Happy Birthday Dusty Flowers It sounds like you had a good time?! Grin

Had a few drinks last night but still on board. Wahey! Week 3 and bored rigid

Hope everyone else is ok?
