Help Support CattleToday:

Thats quite an undertaking quitting both. Cant say i blame ya for the beer run
I havent exactly been pleasant today either.
I think my headache is just from not blowing up at the wife and kids
 
Wife and kids just left for church. I decided it was a good night to stay home and CALM DOWN. Cats decided a few minutes ago to climb the Christmas tree for the first time since we put it up. It doesn't balance well with them up top, so now there's a big freaking mess in the floor :bang: If I hadn't already downed a couple beers, I'd be turnin the redbone in on 'em

You guys can do this.
I'm gonna be tough on you for a minute though...
Don't go blaming your anger on something/someone else - and definitely don't take it out on those around you, especially your loved ones. You can never take it back later, no matter how much you want to. The anger is yours and you need to control it. If you find yourself in an uncontrollable rage, see it for what it is (irrational), and ask God to take the anger away. He will, trust me.
 
Dryer than a popcorn fart. I haven't chewed much either since the only place that carries golden blend redman is now out of my way since I got the last of my cattle moved up the hill.
Now is when I start hating my brain... I wish it had a kill switch so I could just STOP thinking for a few hours a day without beer. I need some way to harness my powers and use them for good instead of evil. :D
 
I admire your will power hook. Great job. Still working on calming down here. Work was rough today cause almost everybody I work with dips snuff, AND have all sorts of advise to offer; including "here, have a dip of mine". Still snuff free, but still withdrawing.

Don't be offended but sounds like "beer" has overcome your powers and is now in control....please accept that as a challenge to QUIT. Might take some soul searching and outside help. I'm just basing this on your own comments. ;-)

So, are you saying that when you are idle (not working) your brain runs wild? Thinking about all the things you need to do? And sometimes you feel like somebody is standing near you with a remote control... Changing the channels, and it's hard to keep up with everything? And a beer helps slow things down so you can consentrate?
 
Congrats to you all and my prayers to you and your families that you succeedd in this.
Breaking habits are hard to do. But with your families, both at home and on CT, you will do well!
Take care all and admire you all.

I have asthma and allergies and this has been my worst year since i was 19 (over 20 years ago) I have never smoked, grew up in a house full of it, but never touched the stuff. I can not go places where people smoke because it agravates my lungs too much. Most days this past year can be compared to breathing through a straw contiously.
I have lung problems and not by choice. I was born this way. I live on three puffers, a pill for my asthma and oral steriods for back up if needed. I have spent the better part of a month taking them this fall. I also am on reactine 2x a day...once a day is normal. At present i am on full doses of everything just so i can do my daily life with no signs of decreasing until the snow is here to stay. For 6 weeks this fall the doctors had me overdosed to keep me breathing. I go in for testing in January to see what allergies have been aggravated due to all the mold from the flooding. I spend $450 a month on medication to breathe and live. Thankful we have pharmacare to cover most of the costs. I have a team of specialists to help me when i am in trouble.
Listen well when i say this...it is no fun. There are days when i take so much meds my heart races and i feel like a bag of **** or rather like a washer on the spin cycle. Or days where all i have is barely enough energy to breathe, but i still have to go on with my day.
Those who smoke, in time what i go through because i was born with this disease could be you because you smoke.
Quit now while you can, while you have a choice, while your body can still heal.
Best of luck,
RR

I cant speak for cp but thats how i feel most of the time
 
Congrats Hook.
I'm still dry but I did go get some fresh chew this morning. I can live with myself over chew but I don't like thinking of myself as an alcoholic.
 
It hasn't bothered me beyond the first day. I'm the same guy I've always been... The downside of that is that it makes me wonder why I thought it was so bad. I'm not going back though.

I was that way way before I started drinking and I started in my teens. :D I think that's probably what kept me drinking once I started.

:nod: I can handle it when it's things that I NEED to do as then it's kind of positive... When I jump over to things I WANT to do :hide: MAKE IT STOP! The list is endless and I can't stay on one project long enough to get it past the planning stages.
