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

5:40 am in Vegas another 24 Ginger, does your son get rowdy when he drinks? Is it to excess? I always wonder about how far is too far,ok face it we all have Al problems but we can't judge everyone who drinks or we'd be judging most of the people in the world, maybe I shouldn't say judging but analyzing it's hard I think to decide who's drinking more than they should just cuz I was so far gone anything seems mild Jude and Rava you're here,it's done,move on

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Winter weather is back for today so it looks like a treadmill walk.

I agree with Pauly’s comment to Jude & Rava, it’s done, move on. Many of us have relapsed after putting together some impressive day counts. No point in beating ourselves up over a slip if we’re right back here and doing our best to beat the beast. One day at a time!

Have a great af Tuesday everyone.

I haven’t said anything about your son [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION] as I’ve been wrestling with my conscience over this one. I hope he is a better man than I was, as what my children said or did had no effect on me and my drinking. Just tossed it off to that they had no idea what I was going through. But then they were all grown adults, not a nine year old. Maybe that might make him at least sit up and take notice of how his drinking is affecting others. It may or may not be his rock bottom, and all you can do is be there for him when he needs you, and he will need you.

Ah, those darn slips! Best to look at them as just slips and not full blown relapses. And realizing it as a mistake is just the right attitude to take to get back on the right path again. But on the other hand, we have to learn something from the slips so that the wisdom gained can be applied to the next situation.

Hi [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], great to see you stop by again!

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

I have a better picture of your son's situation now Ginger. I was wondering if it was his daughter that made the decision not to go there until things changed. I hope your son finds this to be his wake up call.

Slo, :hug:Sorry Mr. S is such a bear to live with. You deserve a gold star for carrying on!

Let's all work on being who we want to be!

24 more please and thank you.

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

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for all the words of support. I am still sober and wanting to stay that way. My slip up involved vomiting and all the horrible stuff that goes with drinking. Now that I’m older the recovery process took the whole next day. I do NOT want a repeat of that mess ever!!! So I am back stronger than ever wanting to make it right again. Not dwelling on sober time vs slip up. Compared to my life a year ago, I am a thousand times better off as I do know how to live my life being sober. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

5:40am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

We didn't get the snow they forecast overnight, but it's also forecast for today. It's a balmy -5C (22F) this morning under cloudy skies...

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

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

Cloudy, grey day here, but I am sober...

Another 24 please and thank you!

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

5:26 am in Vegas another 24 rain predicted here but I'll believe it when I see it! Have a fabulous day all

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

Good morning! Oh my, what a storm we had yesterday. I've never seen so much rain or heard such loud thunder! It was actually kind of scary! This wont let up until tomorrow.

Had a long conversation with my son yesterday. He actually called me back. There is much more to the story than I got from my ex dil. The other side of the story, I guess you'd say. He still needs to stop the madness of drinking but sadly I don't think he's there yet. Im so thankful for all of the support I get here. Thank you!

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

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

We had 20cms of snow yesterday and overnight, about 6”. I shovelled our driveway after a walk yesterday afternoon and also did our neighbours so they wouldn’t have to shovel when they got home from work. And by the weekend it should be gone thanks to mild temps expected starting Saturday.

My day started with a telemarketing call at 5:40AM! Get a real job, morons.

Hope Wednesday treats us all kindly.

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

That must be scary to weather a bad storm in an RV, Ginger!
So there is another side to the story, involving the granddaughter and/or the ex DIL...I’m glad your son seems safe & stable anyways.

QW, I finally remembered to ask my daughter how much her wedding photographer cost, and it was $3000 compared to your son’s...$11,000? But her wedding was in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest of the USA, not an urban center in Australia.

Thanks, Dill. I have to learn to stand my ground with HB, yet not let him bother me.

Not much snow left here. 24 more please!

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

Good morning Cafe. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Another 24 for me please and thanks.

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

Cross post, [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]! How's the weather down your way?

Ginger, I don't doubt there was another side, there always is! I'm glad you got to speak with your son and hear his side of things. Having you for a mother is a mark in his favor. I am hopeful for him!

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

[MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]....Glad that you're son called you back and that the lines of communication are open. Always good to hear both sides of the story.
[MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION].... can't believe that a telemarketer called you at 5:40 am! I would have given them an earfull!

Feeling better about myself today, and actually slept well last night. It is kind of weird that I keep dreaming that I had started smoking again!

Another 24 please and thank you!
