Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
Rava, can you tell me what sober podcasts you listen to that you think are helpful? I listen to podcasts all the time and would like to try some out.
Resentment is a problem for me and a big trigger. I have come to the conclusion that I need to back off a little from my volunteering. It is taking more of my time than I am willing or happy to give and I feel resentment creeping in. I was asked to help with the holiday bazaar annual fundraiser. I should have said no, but in a moment of weakness I agreed to help. Tomorrow is the bazaar/bake sale and I am definitely not looking forward to it. But I will get through it and I will not drink. To be honest tho, I did cave in yesterday and am full of regret and remorse. You all know what I'm going thru. I'll get back on track and I will learn to say no to things I do not need to do if I don't want to want to do them in the future. I have to relearn the skill of saying 'no'.
I will be grateful for 24 more, please and thank you.Dill

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
Sorry that you slipped dill. One of the things that I've learned in AA is that resentment and anger are huge triggers for relapse, and identifying the cause can go a long way in staying sober. It sounds like it might be a good time to cut back on the volunteering or quit entirely. You need to do what's best for you.
24 more please...Comment

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
Up early and getting ready to go spend the day at the fundraiser. I have a plan to get home without buying, no matter my frame of mind. I have invited my grandkids to come help. I won't buy when they are with me. It's a big deterrent, and a good one!
Thanks for the suggestion, Jude. And btw, I downloaded the audio version of Lit yesterday.
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.Dill

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!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.
Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.Comment

I have to admit I was a little surprised to see the place open again on the weekend lol. So glad it is though!
Anger and resentment were my biggest triggers as well [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION] but with the help from my counsellor I learned other ways to deal with it other than drinking. Most of my anger came from things that were out of my control and I had to learn to just let those things go rather than get angry or resentful. I can't remember the last time that I got angry, really angry, since getting sober. And the funny thing was the more I drank, the angrier I got until I did or said something that I regretted. Glad those days are behind me now.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...

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
Good morning Cafe, Dill, I’m sorry about the slip. This is the place to keep coming back to for sure. The podcast I like the most is This Naked Mind. Annie Grace is the best. I used to listen to the Bubble Hour but that has gone. I downloaded some sober podcasts and plan to listen to them. Good luck today at the fundraiser. Wishing everyone a great day. I’m planning to stay on course. 24 more please!!Comment
