    Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

    Morning for me here under the clouds in Jersey, 8:15 am. The days I have to grab the bus to NYC are always so much worse when it's raining like yesterday though other than the 20 minute walk from the bus station the buses were reasonably on time. I'll take another 24 please!

          Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

          I was hit early this morning by a trigger and it got me to thinking. We who hid our drinking for so many years came up with so many different ways to drink that we may have developed some pretty odd triggers. Today, the sunlight hit on a small glass measuring cup I was replacing into the cabinet. I have used that measuring cup for alcohol in the past but I handle it frequently so its trigger strength has been much diminished. But today, the sunshine glinting coupled with the history of my use of that small glass reminded me of the many times the sunlight sparkled off the glass of chardonnay I would drink at end of day at this time of year...The beast awakens!

          So, I pledge to be extra careful today as I seize 24 more! Carpe af diem!

                Strange triggers? Sitting around a campfire on a clear, star filled night gives me the biggest "I wish" ever! Just goes to show you how strong the pull can be, but give it a minute or two and the pull passes..
                Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.

                  Another 24 hours please x
                  To see a world in a grain of sand
                  And a heaven in a wildflower.
                  Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
                  And eternity in an hour.

                        I have never been triggered to drink when looking up at the stars, thankfully. Usually that is a trigger for a feeling of gratitude that I can appreciate them!

                        In spite of my pledge yesterday I'm sad to say, I fell short. I've analyzed it and realize it was just letting myself get ahead of myself, looking at the challenges we are facing as family. Over-thinking. Escaping. I'm feeling so disgusted and down on myself today! As usual, drinking just made things worse.

                        So, humbly I ask for 24.

                          Asking for even half a day. Not sure what to do with self. Get a day or two and back down the rabbit hole.

                              Shortly before midnight here in Jersey and has been a very lazy day. Another 24 please!

                              [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], imho it has served me well to let go of the disgust and focus instead on the beautiful person emerging from the cocoon and may be worth trying on. :hug:

                              [MENTION=16893]Wildflowers[/MENTION], it will click. Just keep in mind that every time we choose something over drinking we are rewriting the script, changing our destiny by nudging ourselves in a better direction. Keep walking and keep your eyes on your north star. :hug:
