Thanks Mags. I am in for another sober weekend. I have been absent the past several weeks. Kept up with Grateful thread a little. My mom passed away two weeks ago. We knew it was coming but it still is so painful and sad. She was a treasure and we were very close.

CBS, so sorry for your loss. You’ve had a lot on your plate last few months losing your dear brother and now your dear mom. Take it is and lean on us when you need to. x

very sorry for your loss cbs.

I switched to the 3 am shift at work, so my day is just getting started. I feel a whole lot better this morning after some great sleep.

Yesterday was the first day in awhile that I had the urge to drink. I didn't have a bad day at work, it was more annoying than anything. After I finished unloading totes from trailers, I signed into be a selector(which is the job that I was hired to do). After selecting for about 30 mins, I was pulled away from that to unload more things from trailers. One manager seems to show up in my area out of nowhere sometimes(in a creepy way). Its just annoying trying to focus on selecting and then bam, you get distracted again. Deep breathes and just do the best job you can.

At least its Friday and I didn't drink over it.

That would be irritating, AthensDawgs....hopefully switching to the earlier shift will be less distracting!

Hi Weekenders. Very sorry for your loss CBS. I had what could have been a sober challenge for me in the past. I had to take my dad to ER on Wednesday for congestion. He’s fine and home now. I had to stay with my mom overnight. He takes care of her since her stroke 8 years ago and that is a challenge. I got about an hour of sleep that night. I was so grateful I was not chasing the bottle while taking care of her and no desire to hit it the next day. Feeling good.

Evening Weekenders, thought I posted earlier, maybe I didn't hit 'post quick reply'

Hang in there Athens, hopefully your creepy manager won't fancy doing that at 3am.

Well done Scott, being on hand to help in a crisis or medical emergency is not something you can rely on in a drinker. It's another dividend of sobriety. Good luck to your dad, I'm glad he's OK.

There was a chemical spill at a nearby factory today, we were told it was small but it was nasty stuff (Chromic Acid) My eyes are not stinging but they can feel it.

Not good news today at the vet. Poor Chauncey's kidneys seem to be failing. They gave him some fluids and anti-nausea medications to hopefully get him eating again and get the kidneys flushed out a bit. But there's not much else they can do, so now it's a waiting game. He isn't suffering to the extent that I feel I need to do anything rash right now. I'm very sad, but at the same time, I knew he was getting slower and weaker some time ago, so I've been preparing myself. We still don't know if there's cancer in his lungs, but it sure looks like it.
