Share a cuppa?

Hey @tyme @BeNormal nice to meet you. I’ve not long crawled into bed. Cold and wet here tonight. Hot choc before switching off will be nice though.

[BeNormal]

Cool, I’d have a cuppa but sticking with the water atm. It’s lonely in here and I miss my family but I’m scared how I’ll cope when I get home. Coming off this substance is hard and scary and there’s only one support worker office hours. The nurses are so busy. My family is a bit distant. Not many visitors over the last week except my kids and husband who is a bit depressed himself atm given the situation. He wants me to be me again

Hi all. Definitely a hot chocolate here tonight too

[BeNormal]

Hi 👋🏼 

this is kind of weird hey 😅

[tyme]

Lol @BeNormal  , it's weird, but it's cool. Requires imagination, but lo and behold, you get the connection - I love this thread to be honest. Lets us come together for an e-chat.

And yes, water is on the menu too. Hot i suppose?

And @Captain24 , most here are having hot choc. Totally needed. Hope it tastes good with your weetbix! I've been wanting crunchy nut cereal lately. I might have that sugar-filled cereal for brekky tomorrow.

@BeNormal , I acknowledge how difficult it is to come off substances. I am glad you have found us. Please know our counselling services are available 10am-10pm AEST on 1800 187 263 if you ever need a chat. At these the stretch a little beyond the normal business hours.

Also, have you been directed to our Guided Service? https://www.sane.org/referral

If you are in an eligible PHN, you can access approx 12 weeks of support to help you get through this challenging time. 

Otherwise, just pop over here and have a cuppa any time 🙂

I'll be hopping into bed soon-ish. Hot choc really does make you ssssllleeeepppppyyyy 🙂

@Captain24 @Bow @BeNormal @Shaz51 

I'm also sitting in front of the heater lol.

At least I can end the day with a BIG smile on my face as I'm typing.

Good night @tyme 

Thanks for the cuppa 

Mr shaz has hurt his knee somehow 

[BeNormal]

Thank you. Nice to meet you. Sorry my kids just called. They just want me home. They’re only little. I will try calling sometime. I will look into the things you’ve mentioned. I think it was Head to Health that mentioned this service to the social worker. Might try the Smart Recovery groups too once im home

[tyme]

All the best @BeNormal . I look forward to continuing our e-catchups together.

Welcome to the crowd 🙂
