Love Melody Beattie. I read her book, "Language of Letting Go" many years ago and it gave me so much hope and ultimately strength to leave a toxic relationship. Havent thought of that in years!

Getting three gkids shortly for late start day. Better get some coffee in me! I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

[MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION]!...um, yeah -I hung a teabag string out of my mug of beer a couple of times too!

[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]: yes, I did try to fill empty regular cans of soda with beer or wine. But it was a messy affair to try to pour it through the little hole, so not very effective!

Requesting another 24 AF hours.

Fall has started but it is still feeling like summer!

We started packing today. It's not something I'm particularly good at I am finding! LOL But we'll get it done. I'm starting to get excited!

24 more please and thank you.

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

We have had rain here too all weekend; sat through that outdoor wedding by a pond in the rain. Thankfully I brought my umbrella and raincoat.
That family sure puts an emphasis on alcohol and the importance of inebriation. I kinda would’ve rather been at the other wedding we were invited to that day: an elegant, understated indoor affair, where alcohol was present, but not inflated in its importance.

A couple people asked me how I lost so much weight. They seemed genuinely interested, so I mentioned to both that I had stopped drinking, since it was a major reason for my weight loss. The one lady’s face fell, and she said, “Oh, so you have stopped living.” The guy was all ears until I mentioned that, then he visibly shuddered & shook. They both lost all interest at that point. Oh well -it’s my truth.

And I am going for another 24 booze-free hours!

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

5:51 am in Vegas another 24 Slo those people's reactions to your answers piss me off! One of the wedding invites my daughter had gotten included a few small gifts and one was a "hangover kit" I'm tired of the over promotion of booze! It's all really dumb to me Jude hope you're not having too much pain? Dill I had a hard enough time packing for a weekend trip to California which is only a few hours drive away,I can't imagine packing for England! Good luck haha

74, warm and sunny here in Florida, as you might expect. Funny, it actually felt cooler here yesterday, compared to what I left.
Also funny is people's reaction when you tell them you don't drink. Yup, I got two heads.
24 more please

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

I'm happy to be a member of the "two head" club, Mr V.

I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Slo, how sad those people thought you’d stopped living! Weight loss is only one of the many benefits of giving up al. Hopefully one day they’ll come to the realization that being al free is much better.

My sister gave up al years ago because it made her sick. Our older brother and many of his family are, as she describes them (she’s a dr and knows this) “functioning alcoholics”. She’s had a frank and blunt discussion with them and (big surprise) they don’t think they have a problem. I pointed out a few years ago when we visited my nephew, wife and baby that maybe having a pitcher of margaritas half gone by 11am wasn’t a good thing for a nursing mother, also a doctor. Alcoholism is a nasty disease as we know.
I’ve avoided visiting them mainly because I don’t want to be around booze. They haven’t visited us either, I suspect because they know we don’t have any booze in the house!

When I was doing wedding photography I saw people at their best and at their worst. Usually alcohol was involved in the worst behaviour.

Sunny but cool here today. At least it’s dry so farmers can continue with harvesting.

Have a great af Tuesday everyone.

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

It sounds like al had its hooks in deep with that couple you described, Ginger! And with your family QW. It's amazing how people lose the basic comprehension of their own relationship with al. I was like that once upon a time.....

Change and growth go hand in hand, that's for sure Cowboy. But once change has been made and a person is on the right path, I think growth simply continues. Thanks for the good quotes this week.

24 more please and thank you.
