You can still check in from time to time from a library. It's free!

I remember the good ole' days when you could just walk up to an unused computer in the library and browse away. But now you need a library card. And to get one, you need proof of identity. Then, you have to log in with your library card number which conveniently connects each user to his/her browsing history. Which, I'm sure, is stored and scanned.

Follow the smell to the homeless crazy guy. Once you have established that he is indeed the homeless crazy guy and not some academic sleeping in the library on a lunchbreak, offer him $20 for his library card.

Hell, Wolf. Where's your sense of adventure? I say roll the guy in the History aisle and TAKE it!

busterb, check in. How many hours/days were you able to string together booze-free. If you fell off the wagon, get back on the fucker. It stops and waits for you, you know.

DanaC · 05-12-2005, 12:56 PM

Good luck busterb. Just remember you are worth the effort. I guy I heard talking about careers advice to a group of students just recently, gave some very good advice. He said, "You're all better than you think you are" I would say that holds true for most of us, youself included

Brianna, sounds like you've been having a really horrid time lately, you have my total sympathy. Judging by some of my own acquaintances who work in various parts of the NHS, drug and alcohol problems seem to be something of an occupational hazard. Good luck getting yourself back on an even keel. You've got a lot of people wishing you well *smiles*

busterb · 05-14-2005, 07:38 AM

Well I made 6 days. I have to say I haven't really tried. Monday is the day to put my ass in gear and stop procrastinating. Which has killed more drunks than anything.

Griff · 05-14-2005, 07:41 AM

Keep grinding fella. Have you made any changes in your daily habits?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-14-2005, 07:44 AM

That's good, Buster.

Here is something that may amuse you.

busterb · 05-14-2005, 08:13 AM

Well my daily habits have been busy this week. Planting my garden. So far 50' row of LA.purple pod beans, 22 mater plants, 6 egg plants, 7 hills of cucumbers, 4 hot peppers and maybe a few okra plants. Damn I'm too old for this shit can hardly walk after crawling around in garden. Still need to mo-de-lawn. Humidity is so damn high makes breathing a bitch. Bruce the link goes to show rednecks still have uh oh well

Trilby · 05-14-2005, 10:31 AM

Busterb--try any AA meetings? They're not for everyone but it does help me when I'm feeling low. I especially like lead meetings where somebody tells their story. They've usually had it worse than me and it helps to see they've made it through.

busterb · 05-14-2005, 12:54 PM

Yes need to start again. Once was the group rep. for here. I still have a set of keys for all our stuff.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to sit on the veranda and bark orders to the field hands, cracking the bullwhip for effect. Just pass on the mint juleps
Farming, even in miniature, is back breaking labor. Personally, I've never found that savory salad or side dish worth the pain and suffering. Communing with nature means being one with eighty eight jillion types of insects and creepy crawlers. Sure, it keeps you busy but the Bufferin bill is excessive.

busterb · 05-16-2005, 08:45 AM

I found this today in what will be an unnamed post. "But I'm a grown man and an Irish man at that. I know all about drinking." Yep me too.

busterb · 05-17-2005, 09:19 PM

A drunk don't stand a chance. The economics and math just kills us. You get a six pack for less than 4 bucks, a 12 pack for around 7, then a case for around 11. So the math tells you the case is a better buy. Even though you swore you were only going to have a few to feels better. Same with 1/2 pint, pint, qt and 1/2 gal. Next Am you wonder who stopped by & helped you drink all that shit? NO one. Yes I know all about drinking. I just wish the hell I didn't.
