Had a fairly significant mechanical breakdown yesterday and we were in the field till just after 10 last night to do the the repairs so we could get going again early this morning.
It was one of those “sure could use a beer, or many beers” days, but better sense prevailed. As I climbed into bed in the camper I thought back to those years when I was drinking. I would have stayed up until who knows how late getting drunk, then paying for it this morning.
They know what they’re talking about when they say drinking doesn’t help, only makes things worse!
Have a good day y’all, and remember, never quit on your quit!
And huge congrats on your 4 years Rainman!

I set up some guidance on a new tractor for a customer today, then tilled, bed formed and planted a few rows of potatoes to test accuracy. I spend all my time fixing tractors but rarely get to use one in anger...
What was your breakdown? And what machines do you run over there?

I'm in for another 24 hours clean and sober.
Congrats to Babs and Rainman on your fab sober times.
James, hang in there. I have days like that, self doubt etc, but I think a lot of it is because of the lockdown and having your life on hold. Now that things are getting back to normal-ish, I'm sure you'll feel better soon. Best wishes to you.

James, I think you’re really thoughtful, kind hearted and compassionate. And I think that like me, you worry too much about what others think of you. You are enough, just as you are ❤️
Bobbi I hope you are feeling less sore! That sounds like a pretty intense dentist visit, ouch!
I’m so sorry to hear about losing miss Molly Tgirl. You gave her a second chance in life and I’m sure it was a wonderful life. Sending you so much love
Bandi, sending you love and hugs back
Noam, I hope you find yourself out of that funk soon. I’ve been in one since Mother’s Day but as they say, this too shall pass. I think for me, the biggest thing is to not let myself drink over it.
Congratulations on 4 years Rainman!
Abcowboy, you’re so right, after one of those days, I too need to get to the point where common sense prevails. Because drinking really doesn’t help, only makes things a whole lot harder to deal with.
I’m here for 24 hours please and thank you. 7am and got to go and get ready for work.
I’m starting to get quite anxious about a music festival I’m attending this weekend. The people I’m going with will all be drinking. Seems like everyone will be. I don’t know if I will be able to hold my own against the AV. It’s going to be a tough weekend.

24 more please. I feel spent. Worked all day. Homeschooled oldest. It’s hard to do both at the same time. She’s not running a fever but is terribly congested and just started coughing. I’ve done everything I can, but she seems to just be going through the funk. Will decide to send her to school or not tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry but, I don't think today is my sobriety date> I really haven't kept track but, thought it was July 5th..
But, maybe i'm wrong.
Anyway doing ok. Hubby wants to sell the house and move into a condo or something with less work. Just not sure if I'm
ready...

Babs

Hi,
Mouth still a bit sore, but tons better. Just will not chew on that side.
I wanted to mention that I was given 2 pain prescriptions after the oral surgery. Did not request any either.
Anyway, 1) Tylenol with codeine and 2)Norco. Opioids, right? They were in my “take home” ziplock baggy along with instructions and gauze pads for my mouth. All ready and handed to me as I left the dentist’s chair.
I get I’m sensitive as a recovering alcoholic. But, seems to me that incidents like this could be a contributing factor in the opioid crisis — writing easy peasy narcotic prescriptions without thought.
This oral surgeon is not my regular dentist, but one who is contracted out. I plan on bringing this up with my dentist. It just doesn’t sit right with me.
In for my next 24 ...
Bobbi
