We finally finished with the rain and now we are starting on a heat wave. I think summer is over-rated! I'll take fall and spring over summer anytime!

Are you looking forward to harvest, Cowboy?

Glad you have your rental all worked out for next summer, Rava. That sounds like a great deal!

No drinking on the horizon here today. That's definitely a good thing!

5:26am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

Even though harvest is more hectic and longer hours, I am looking forward to it [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]. Just something about watching the crop go through the combine and then into the grain cart makes it all worthwhile.

Happy Anniversary to Mr & Mrs [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION]! Hope he pops in today.

Good morning Cafe. Another steamy day ahead. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. Big Al, hope all is well. Thinking of you. Also thinking of you Pauly. I’m grateful for another sober day. It’s been 2 weeks since I went down that stupid drunken rabbit hole and my bruise is finally gone. 24 more please and thank you.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for the happy anniversary wishes. Today marks 48 years and I have no idea where that time went. It’s been quite the journey!

Finally got out internet back! It's kind of spotty, so my posting is sometimes on and off. Another 24 hours please and thank you!

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

Good afternoon Cafe Friends. It's been a while since I have checked in, and its been busy. I continue to sort out what phase 2 of my life looks like at this point, but I am doing it sober. The emotional burden of this divorce / kids / work / etc on top of my sobriety feels like it is too great to bear at times, but I just struggle through. At the end of the day me drinking won't make anything better, it won't bring my life back as I knew it, it won't make me happy. It is as if the Universe has called in my loan and I am paying it off in one lump sum. But, I have to believe that there will be a day at some point in the future where a little bit of serenity will creep back in and I can slough off the notion of the way things "ought" to be and be grateful for just the way things are. Big steps for someone as afraid of change as I am.

One thing that brings a smile to my face is the fact that my Cafe Friends care about me. You guys and gals don't know how much that means to me right now, and I could not articulate it in a way that fully conveyed the warmth I feel. It is truly appreciated.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will very humbly ask for another 24 please and thanks.

I really hear you on that. It often feels like the universe is exacting it's toll for a decade of vice (for me it's more health / mental health stuff though). I'm just trying to stick with it and hope things turn around eventually. Hope they do for you too.

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

Big Al, you're doing an amazing job with your sobriety during a really rough patch in your life right now. Kudos to you!

Another 24 hours please and thank you!

I have to agree with what Jude said [MENTION=24510]BigAl[/MENTION], you are doing such a great job staying AF through all the changes you are going through. I used to always think "okay, what's next? What's the next good thing that will happen now that I'm sober?" It took a while but I figured out there doesn't have to be a "what's next", just being sober is good enough, enjoy my life just the way it is without thinking "what's next".

Great job on those 2 weeks [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION], keep on keeping on!

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

Good morning. So happy you are doing well Big Al. Thanks for checking in. We all know how sneaky the beast can be. I actually thought the day after my drunkenness that I caught the flu. What a crock of crap. Like drinking poison all night had nothing to do with vomiting, etc. Sneaky little bastard for sure. Its been 2 weeks and I feel so much better. This is what I should hold on to and NOT that I might be able to drink normally. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. Another 24 for me please and thank you. PS Happy Anniversary QW!
