~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

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

Great to hear you're coming through the other side [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION] !

Also, I hear you on the work thing. I also drifted through work and eventually came to realize I was pretty unhappy in my job, and that may have partially contributed to drinking. Even though it can feel devastating at the time, losing my job may have been a blessing in disguise because it gave me time to focus on my health and alcohol dependence (there's just absolutely no way I could be going through this and working at the same time).

Oh ya, and also, I really could use another 24 (preferably days but I won't be greedy).

Sorry that I haven't had time to do a proper post as Adam has been staying with us the last couple of days for hunting. He's headed back to Sherwood Park tonight, then coming back out Friday morning so I'll have some time tomorrow morning!

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

My favourite hockey player on my favourite hockey team, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, has just re-joined the team after entering a month long program for substance abuse. He hasn’t said what his addiction was and has asked for privacy for him and his family. He has received nothing but support from his team, fans, the NHL and we’re eagerly awaiting his return to play.

Mulberry, great to see you in the Cafe! I think a lot of men identify who they are by the job they have. I know I did and for a long time. And in retrospect, the job contributed to my drinking in many ways. For most of my working life, my employers didn’t care about their employees, just how much money we could make for them. It took me a long time to figure out that all I was to the company was so many dollars spent as opposed to how many dollars earned and the scale was always tipped in their favour.

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day. As I do every year, I’ll watch the ceremony from the War Memorial in Ottawa. And I’ll watch, a few times, the video A Pittance of Time by Nova Scotian Terry Kelly, a good reminder of the sacrifices made by so many so we can enjoy freedom.
Lest We Forget

Have a great af Wednesday everyone.

Defo someone here too who's job contributed to the drinking,never touched a drop until about 2 years into starting at that salon,dunno of it was stress,the coworkers glamorizing drinking,or what that made me pick up and after that took me so damn long to put down very strange Everyone sounds like they're doing well here so I'll wish us all a happy 24!

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

Good morning Cafe friends and NHL fans. Well, we finally have a face to face meeting with our attorney re: the accident on October 15th. The insurance company is pushing us to settle but I may need surgery and no idea about recovery time. So, we shall see. Other than that, I gratefully accept another twenty four. I wish you all the best day possible. Blessings x

Nice to have you here [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION]

Quick check in here. I hope everyone has a great day and we all enjoy 24 hours of freedom.

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

Techie, no surprise the insurance company is pushing for you to settle. The longer you take to settle, the more it’s likely to cost them. My suggestion is to refer the insurance company to your attorney.

In banking, there’s a saying that your first loss is your smallest loss. Guess it’s the same with insurance companies and how they view settlements.

Years ago our oldest son was involved in a car accident, he was a passenger in a vehicle where the driver fell asleep, the car left the road and crashed into a culvert. Lying in his hospital bed, a claims adjuster came to see him with a settlement offer which turned out to be about 10 times less than what he ultimately received.

Hey cafe. I just read all the posts. I’m using my phone so I can’t type much. Hope everyone has a great day! Another 24 for me please and thank you.

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

Late check in! Trying to get in the desert early for walking to avoid the heat. When we got back it slipped my mind. 24 more here!!

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

Good evening Cafe Friends! Holy cow what a long day. I know I put my family in a heck of a bind going to treatment, but the house was a WRECK! I spent all day long just cleaning. But that's ok, I find it to be somewhat cathartic, and I am willing to do all kinds of chores for the support I receive from them. Tomorrow I am going to hopefully finish cleaning, and then maybe start on some new radius arm bushings for my old Bronco. Things are going well. I have been journaling like crazy and getting in 15 minutes or so of yoga each morning. Maybe I'll join the local yoga group one of these days when I can muster the courage. Great to see you on the thread [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION]. I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday and I will take 24 more please.

Nice to have you here [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION]

There are so many different sections on this forum, it's a little hard to keep up, so I usually just do some periodic skimming, and pop in with a comment once in a while, haha.

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

No need to apologize cowboy. We understand that everyone has lives outside of the cafe, and that certain times are busier than others. How is the hunting going?

Asking for another 24 hours of freedom!
