Hi Serial yeah it's easy to fall into that dark cycle of feeling awful and self medicating, you poor thing. Glad you've got your mojo back now!
I'm on week 3 and venturing out of the beginner's pool. By heck it's cold < frozen face.
Dh has been suffering working on the 9th floor of a hotel with no windows in it brrrr.

Keep warm on your surfboards people.

Glad you are okay serial

Nice to see you two are still alive ... my house is freezing and building has ground to halt due to weather can you send your DP over please lost

Ah that's a nightmare Ponz
If you have windows he'd probably gladly come over. Even the toilets have frozen solid. He said he'd cry but his tears would probably freeze on his face.

Big wave to everyone. I have a day off today and I'm bored. Determined to stay afloat this weekend. Money's quite tight this week so that's another motivating factor. It's bloody expensive shit.

Yo Surfers, cold innit? I've gone down a slippery slope again (and I don't mean in the snow!) went overboard again on Friday and getting into bad habits again with Mr R. I know what you're saying Serial, on both occasions I have wanted to get more the next day and had to sit on my hands not to. I still can't run as injured now so I'm blaming that as my resolve has crumbled with no goal Marathon in sight. Anyways stay warm you lot, poor Ponz and Mr Lost Brrr... xx

You've not ended up in A and E Hooch hold on to that. Just the first bit of your post I've gone down a slippery slope showed in Threads I'm on and I thought Uh Oh Hooch has face planted in the ice and her leg's in traction.

Totally agree about the Saturday after the blow out Friday- will power weakened by feeling bleurgh.
So sorry you're injured. That sucks.
You can still salvage some resolve though Hooch

Ha don't talk too soon, my walk to the station involves walking down a very slippery slope so it could still happen!! Mr R and I are building up to a normal night in, he's throwing ideas around about cooking meals and watching films so we'll see.

Well done on 3 weeks Lost, keep going. And Serial and Ponz, I appear to be the naughty one at the moment

"Building up to a normal night in, he's throwing ideas around" sorry but I can't stop laughing at this. It sounds like Me and Mr Lost off our nuts planning a sober weekend and toying with the idea of inviting sensible people round as a security measure.

Wear grippy shoes tomorrow! x

Morning all. Surfing away here ( no supply, empty shoe) and trying to rein in the booze with varying degrees of success.

How is everyone? Managing ' normal nights in'?

Great going Ponz A man walked into a shoe shop to complain. He said I don't know what you've laced these shoes with but I've been tripping all day.

After laughing at Hooch Karma bit me on the arse. I fell over in the snow three times walking home from work on Friday, got pissed at home and shared a gram with Mr Lost.

My usual fall at the 3 week clean hurdle.

Managed a normal day yesterday which is something.

Sending out chilled Sunday vibes x

Lost 😂😂😂😂

When I go three weeks I think that maybe using every three weeks is ok. And then it becomes every week and then every three days etc etc. It's a fucker. Hope you all had chilled sundays.

I saw Mr BI last night. WTF?! I now feel like death. Hopefully this will put me off for life!

Don't think I've ever felt this ill in my life, drinking since yesterday lunchtime, ridiculous amounts. Can't even get out of bed. I hate myself!

Big hug Hooch. I feel awful too. I've gone off the rails a bit since last weekend ending up with a binge last night. I'm joining you in the Hate Myself club.
Had a massive sinus headache yesterday so fixed it last night with a load of gear but it's back ten times worse today. Feeling really down.

Sorry for moaning, it's probably not making you feel any better. Drink and eat and rest up today if you can .
I'm trying to pysche myself up for a big Tesco shop but feel like crying!

Moan away Lost, I feel like crying too but haven't got the energy. I think I need to stop drinking, I feel horrendous. Got so much to do today and literally can't move. Good luck with the Tesco shop, rather you then me

Sending you both hugs. So easily done. Surfing through here but only cos no supply. Having almighty craves from time to time but they do ease off quite quickly. Tomorrow is another day and you'll both feel better after a sleep....

Thanks Ponz you wise thing. All tucked up in bed here. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's day and hope you're feeling better Hooch.
Fresh start tomorrow.

Thanks Ponz. Much better today but still feeling a bit blurgh. Think that may have more to do with the mix of lager, prosecco, sambucca and vodka I drunk. Didn't do that much of the other stuff but it allowed me to carry on drinking when I would have otherwise collapsed! Note to self, grow up Hooch, you're nearly 50!! Hope your feeling better today Lost x

Oh Lordy Hooch that sounds messy. I once set fire to my manager's arms with a flaming sambucca on a work night out. He was ok but his suit was ruined. It's lethal stuff!

Feeling better here and determined to have a healthy week. Went for a run tonight through a load of mud and rain. It was rubbish.
Onwards and upwards surfers.

Can I join back in please? I got all over confident and ended up in a dreadful relapse. Can I pour out my woes of fuckwittery later on this evening please? I know I got all sure of myself but it’s all gone wrong and I’d like to join in again x

Welcome back Pickle I haven't forgotten all the great support and advice you gave me when I was struggling.
I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. What's happened?I hope you're alright
Your surfboard is still here and we'll listen to your woes.. a problem shared and all.. I'm no stranger to a terrible slip up myself so no judgement here.

Oh Lost, honestly I’ve totally fucked up, royally.
Ended up leaving my husband due to excessive fuckwittery from him and lost the run of myself for a couple of months.

I’m currently on day 5 and anxiety ridden, so
I could do with chatting some absolutely ridiculous shenanigans.

What’s been occurring on the surfers beach of bliss??

I’ve just remembered the fabulous terms used here: I am about to bathercise and pyjamarate.

That’s the kind of chat I can work with!!!!!!

Ah Pickle you haven't fucked up royally, it sounds like you've been having an awful time. It all sounds really hard and life is just so shit sometimes! It makes it a hundred times harder when you know a little secret remedy to make it all feel better for a while eh?

Well done for getting back on track. I'm still addicted to baths and pyjamarating is still my main avoidance strategy.. I'm still surfing in circles, although I like to think I've improved slightly.

Hug from me you're stronger than you think.

Hey pickle you've made the right move posting on here shows your motivation to try and sort things. Easier said than done will be 2 steps forward and one back. About to pyjamarate myself to get away from Whine teenager who wont go to bed!!! Hope you are ok too lost. Sending hugs to all.
