I think you've already turned your thinking around [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]. An experiment is just that, an experiment. To find out the results of an exercise in a given situation. An experiment only fails if the results don't meet with our expectations. But like any experiment, you have to use the results just the way they are, you can't change those results without changing the experiment. Now you just have to apply what you've learned and move forward just as you've been doing! No one can erase the sober time you have just like you can't erase the time you spent in your experiment, so let it go. You're where you are because of what you've learned, and that is nothing to struggle over....:hug:

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. -

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
I miss QW and Mr V. Hope they come back soon. Pouring rain here today. The desert is alive with all this rain and the free ranging cows are loving all this extra grass.
I'll take another 24, please and thank you!Comment

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
Another 24 for me please. I just got on facebook to see that today is national drink wine day! WTF?? That never would have bothered me before. I am sick of all the glory that alcohol claims. The reality is that alcohol is a dangerous drug. It took me years and a lot of hardship to finally realize this. I will pass on this national drink day.Comment

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
I share your feelings on this, [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]!Originally posted by Rava View Post
Thanks for your brilliant post yesterday, [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]. I like the method of doing the percentage. There is no reason why you should feel you 'lost' all that AF time. It was an achievement and was not lost, IMO. You learned from it and knew the value of it. It's part of your journey and long may you continue on the path! I continue to miss [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION] and [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION] too, and I am beginning to fear that we will not see them again. I feel confident that they are both continuing in their sobriety tho and I wish them all the best.
Thanks for a great quote, [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION]. Hope springs eternal and thank goodness for that because without it none of us would escape the clutches of alcohol!:exclaim:

Don’t forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.Comment
