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

    Hi Everyone.. 8:00 and it's grey with black ice on the streets/sidewalks.. could almost iceskate to the recycling bin!
    I'm so relieved to be through the worst of being sick. So nice to come through on the other side..

    Crusader, I hope you were able to get some sleep last night.. I know what you mean with the lack of sleep "hangovers".. I guess I don't usually have more than one bad night of sleep, though. At some point my brain gives in. I have a lot of empathy for people who really suffer with insomnia..
    Jude, thank you for sharing your relapse story.. I'm so glad to have you here..

    So, here's to another 24af hours for all of us.. Let's make this a good week.:love:

            Ori, does the star you are aiming for have a name? Or is it just a figurative star, an image in your mind?

            QW and Cowboy, I read the description of the show, Alone. It sounds fascinating. I'm going to try to find a way to watch it. It did not appear to be in the Netflix List tho. But, it reminded me of a movie/documentary I saw years ago and if you haven't alredady seen it, I recommend it highly. It's called Touching the Void.

            LC, I'm glad you are feeling better!!


            I'm signing on for 24 more.

            If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

              “I had no idea what time I’d left, how I’d gotten home, who’d been up here, and how long he, she, or they had stayed. Another night, added to the hundreds that had gone before, shrouded in mystery. Really, when you thought about it, it was creepy. My own life was a secret to me.”
              - Heather King


              That was one of the things I hated most about my drinking; waking up the next morning wondering how I got home, what I did or said the night before. Yet, I continued drinking...

              6:40am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

              -9C (13F) here this morning, looks cloudy as I couldn't see any stars, but the snow has moved over into Saskatchewan. The shovel is free for anyone who needs it lol.


              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.

                32F and grey, rain on the way.
                Thankfully no shovel needed. Oh, wait, I need a shovel to clean out the garage, lol.
                Gotta google who is Heather King .
                But, so true.
                24 more here, please

                    [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], the star is figurative. Just the image of the life I choose/choose to create and the person I choose to be/become.

                      Good Morning Cafe Members.

                      I posted in the Nest and am running quick now. I'll be back to read and comment when time permits. It's a busy day.

                      Committed to another 24. Today is day 18, a good night's sleep and feeling good.

                        Crusader, I mixed you up with QW in an earlier post I think when I talked about the Alone series and suggested a good docudrama called Touching the Void. That comment was meant for you.

                        Mr. V, that's funny that you had to google Heather King bc I did the same! I'll be reading more of her material now that I've read about her on Wikipedia.

                        Thanks Cowboy for the good quote! I have never had that experience of not knowing how I got home but that's only owed to the fact that as I drank more and more I protected myself by just isolating and only drinking at home. I've had many many mornings when I could not recall the previous night tho and worried if I may've talked on the phone with anyone...if so, what on earth about! Ugh.

                          Good thing I have a tractor at the farm!

                            Cowboy, our street looks like that! In 5 years of living here, we’ve had our street plowed 3 times and not once this winter. I could have used your tractor to get out of our court today! Thank goodness winter will soon be over, right?

                              I liked the quote yesterday Cowboy....so many of us can relate to it. It's pretty terrifying to wake up the next day and have no idea what happened the night before....so much time wasted.

                              Another quiet morning here in N.Y., expecting another nor'easter tonight and tomorrow, but I think that it's supposed to track far enough to the east of us to have much of an impact.
                              Another thing to be grateful for. :happy2:

                              Looks really cold up there QW and cowboy! Spring will get here eventually!

                              Here's to another 24 hours of being able to remember what happened the night before!

                                40F and rain.
                                That's a lot of snow up there, guys. I think we're done with it down south. Crocus and daffodils starting to bloom. A little early for the daffodils, but I'll take it.
                                24 more please.
