Rava, what a sweet pic. It doesn’t look like that's her first time in an airport!

Howdy, Mul! Enjoy your bro-time.

After much research, it appears that cleaning up that tear is the best solution to getting back to normal-ish. Guess I'll proceed after our beach trip. I'm blessed and should be counting them!

Im going to patch my sister's rock chip she got driving home yesterday then I need to get back here and start packing!

I found that book I was asking about a few weeks ago. I read this when I first came here 10 years ago and it was impactful for me at the time. Im going to listen to it this go round! Kick the Drink...Easily! https://a.co/d/j8Q0NpW


I'll take another day!

Aw! What a sweet picture, Rava...She was going in style!

Ginger, thank you for sharing the long lost book. I'm going to see if I can get it at the library. It can only help. I have been struggling lately. I'm glad you're feeling better about the procedure. Better get it scheduled before you go. No telling how long the wait will be for a procedure like that!

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee while awaiting our Sunday morning treat.

There is a health fair this weekend where all kinds of free health services are offered walk-in. I may mosey over there and see about having my hearing checked.

24 more please for all of us here.

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

[abcowboy]

Some breakfast for us...

[abcowboy]

What a cute little girl Rava, she looks every bit the seasoned traveler lol.

I think you made a wise decision Ginger, and hopefully it will get you back to normal. Glad you found your book, it never hurts to add to our toolbox whenever we can.

The health fair sounds like a pretty cool idea dill, give people a chance to see what's all new in the health world.

I'm hoping I have a quiet day today, but I might end up having to run out and check a customer's boiler. He called yesterday and it seems we got it running over the phone, hopefully that's all it took.

[Jude58]

Hey cowboy! I waited for breakfast and I'm so glad that I did. Yum and thank you!

Hope that everyone has a great day!

I'll take another 24 hours.....

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for breakfast Cowboy. It hit the spot. Ginger, thanks so much for the book recommendation. I just ordered it on my kindle. I tried the library but mine doesnt carry it. Glad you made the decision on your knee. Dill, I feel like I think about alcohol every damned day. Yesterday i struggled as I seem to do around 4 pm. Hopefully this book will get me in gear!! OK I am off to Walmart for groceries. No wine here in the Walmart stores! Thank goodness! 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Good morning! Yummy breakfast spread, ABC. Hope that boiler keeps chugging along so you can hang out with Bubba.

The book by Allen Carr was helpful for me too. Both are based on changing your thoughts about alcohol instead of using just willpower. We all know how that can ebb and flow. Rava, I hope the book helps!

If I'd been able to stay on track, this year would have been my 10th anniversary. I look at it this way.... at least I've been trying for 10 yesrs! I was hoping to get Jason Vale's book as audio but it's not available. Guess I'll reread it at the beach

Hi Dill Hi Jude

Let's all have an easy day! I'll take another.

[Jude58]

Good morning all!

I still have cravings for alcohol, but they aren't nearly as bad as when I first quit drinking. Those were rough days and I just don't want to have to start all over again. What a nightmare!

Not much happening around here but I guess that's a good thing.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Thanks for another awesome breakfast, Cowboy! You are a gem.

Ginger, I borrowed the Ebook of the Jason Vale book from the library after reading a sample. I think it will be very helpful. Thanks again. I'm happy for another tool.

It's only one week until school begins again. Granddaughter is actually looking forward to it.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

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

[abcowboy]

I didn't get a call yesterday so the boiler must be running fine now. There's just too many electronic safely features on most everything now and it doesn't take much to have the equipment shut down for one reason or another.

Let's all have a great Monday, and the rest of the week!

[Rava]

Good Morning Cafe. Ginger, I am reading the book and savoring it so I dont read it all in one day. It’s been very good so far. Thanks again for the recommendation. Today is our first day back and the gym so we are returning somewhat to normal. The weather is beautiful today so we will be spending it outside for sure. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Ginger when you said it would be 10 years I get it. It would be close to 20 for me. I had a successful 10 years of total sobriety and then the thoughts of “wouldnt it be nice….” So the last 10 years have been a struggle. I just dont get why the first 10 years were easier. But if I add it all up, my drinking in the last 20 years total is way less than my full drinking days. 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Rava, AL is an evil substance. I wish it had never been invented.

Busy day so need to get going. I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! Ginger, I agree with you about alcohol being evil, at least for people like us. Best to stay away from it completely even though it's not easy at times.

24 more for all of us please...
