@TheMickyBoy I'm drinking again. And I hate myself for it. Thanks for reaching out x

@Stayingsober3 Hey, what's up

I need to talk to someone

I had a dream where I was drinking last night. It was so real. I've seen others on here talk about it but have never had one myself. Woke up in a panic followed by a wave of relief. Now left feeling strangely unsettled and anxious. #RecoveryPosse

@_withoutalcohol Talk to yourself like you would your best friend. We're always kinder to others than to ourselves. Whenever you think those negative thoughts think, would I say this to someone I love? *from someone who finds it hard to practise what she preaches. I know its hard. Much love xx

My self esteem is really low at the moment. By brain keeps talking me into it. What should I do? #recoveryposse

@se_ransdell The fact that we even have to say not all men is part of the problem. I cant imagine feeling defensive reading about insane behaviour from people of my gender.

I 100% understand “not all men” but do y’all understand: My banking coworker who bought me lingerie for Christmas after one date. The guy who admitted to stalking me for a year on our first date. The guy I didn’t know who saw me in the hall at school and decided to feel me up…

@DanielM01421037 Thank you. Im covered in very nasty grazes but apart from being stiff and sore I feel fine this morning x

Had a fall today and in a LOT of pain. Would kill for a glass of wine. Is 9pm too early for bed?? 😭 #RecoveryPosse

@ktimed Thank you. Im not going to. I'm just not used to having to breathe through the pain

@Stayingsober3 No. Get your head down, put it out of your mind

@KanoleeKitty What do you mean?

@WillEB75211 That's really nice. And I hope one day to be able to do the same for people but I'm in very early recovery. I'm sorry for your loss x

@Stayingsober3 This has made me realize just what my sister did for me for so many years. I used to drink beer, not alot, but I did enjoy a cold 1 or 2. Or 3😉. Sis had 45 yrs sober. Never once was I at her home when there wasn't a cold beer there for me. She died late last year, still sober.

I'm having friends from abroad stay with me for a week from Friday. My flat has been my alcohol free sanctuary. Is it OK to ask them not to drink in my house? #RecoveryPosse

@FrogLepp Lol, no. But thanks for the support 🙄

@Stayingsober3 Let me guess, the K is for Karen?

@PAGESGREENLAND I haven't, but I will after all this advice

@Stayingsober3 Did you warn them first?

@byron_justina This is an excellent point x

@Stayingsober3 Absolutely. And if they go out to drink you can set a boundary that they don’t come back to your place loaded. Protect and honor your sobriety!

@Char61303798 Lol that is an excellent point x

@Stayingsober3 100% yr House yr Rules! Would U go to their house & w/o discussion, simply pour their Alcohol down the drain? Goes both ways..

@stardam6 Well this is an outlier of a response. I do feel bad but I imagine saving hundreds of pounds a night will make up for it.

@Stayingsober3 just don't let them be normal not controlled or should have said way before

@NickBar58079351 They aren't here until Friday. I still have time

@Stayingsober3 That should have been settled before they arrive

@DanielM01421037 I'm not Faith, but thank you nonetheless 😂 x

@TimHaa25 What do you mean, don't run the show? X

@afewtoomany3 Well the other advantage of that will be making sure they don't bring wine with them. Which is something that is just now occurring to me as a possibility (I mean as a thank you gift, not for any nefarious reason)

@afewtoomany3 That's true. There are lots of pubs about. I'll tell them ahead of time so they're expecting to have to do that
