~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

6:35am in Alberta, 24 more for me please, and thanks...

Just below freezing, but didn't get the rain/snow mix they forecast, so that's good!

In the past 24 hours, these people have signed in for 24 hours of sobriety:

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

[abcowboy]

Loved the quote today [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION]! It describes the involvement here at MWO to a tee! You don't need to be a blabbermouth like me to help people, just being here and checking in everyday shows others that this is a fight worth fighting!

Thanks Mr V, it's going to take some time to get used to my new normal, but get used to it I will!

Hey [MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION], I tried pm'ing you but your message box is full, so I'll post it here...



Hi Polly, I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now, but take my words in the spirit they are given...

You usually only disappear for one reason, I'm hoping that's not the case, but if it is, then you need to come back. No one can do this alone, and if you aren't getting any other help, then you need to be here. You have so much to live for, so many reasons to be sober, a great person, a wonderful wife, an excellent mother, and a fantastic grandmother! You owe it to yourself to continue those traits and become even better at them with sobriety. I know it's not easy, and sometimes I forget how hard it can be, but you can do this, you have the fighting spirit that's needed to overcome this problem, never forget that...

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

The new normal in our lives is constantly changing. One of the frustrating things in supporting a spouse with Parkinson’s is knowing that symptoms, side effects and other things will randomly show up. Memory loss is a big one, hallucinations another. With a progressively degenerative disease like Parkinson’s, each day can bring its own challenges but when an old style normal day happens, it’s cause for celebration, even though I keep those feelings to myself. It’s having bits and pieces stolen that make this especially tough. That, along with the knowledge that today is likely as good as it’s going to get.

As frustrating as it is for us care partners, it’s harder to imagine living with Parkinson’s or any other life altering disease.

Much like alcoholism, it’s one day at a time.

Hope everyone enjoys Tuesday, af!

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward." ~amelia earhart

Happy Halloween all!

I'll take another 24 please, (along with some peanut butter cups) and thank you very much! :witch:

[abcowboy]

Here ya go Jude! Make sure you share them lol.

[abcowboy]

I agree [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION], the decision to act, to do anything, is always the hardest thing to do. But sticking to that decision isn't always easy either. Sometimes it's best not to act, to just let it go, but I guess that to is a decision....

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

Perfect quote again Jude, and thanks for sharing those peanut butter cups! I got to them before you had a chance so I hope you don't mind.....
With quitting alcohol the decision must be made every day and sometimes multiple times a day which I guess is the tenacity part of things. So tenacity is pretty darn important!

Happy Halloween everyone! 24 more please and thank you.

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

Warm and damp, heavy rain on the way. The weather folks say we'll be getting a months worth of rain in the next 48 hours. 5+ inches.
My basement will be wet.
Loved the quote, Jude. Failure to act has kept me from many things, that's for sure.
Stay strong QW!
24 more please
