Hello!
Today was a quiet day, nothing real exciting happened. I did go to church with the family. I have also sat and watched the playoffs today, I am a big sports fan. However, I did crave a beer while watching, but I made it through it.
I get to go to work tomorrow, working in concrete. Hopefully make some good money for the family and to pay on my DUI fine. You know, it is hard to find a good job when you don't have a driver's license and can't drive. I hope I can make it through tomorow without the cravings being too hard, because I will be with one of my drinking buddies. After a long hard day, boy a cold beer is awful nice.
This reminds me of when I fell off the wagon after being sober for 803 days. In the summer of 2004, it was a sizzling hot day in the bluegrass (humid as hell), I was mowing the yard and getting awful thirsty when my new neighbor said, "You look like you could use a drink." He asked if I would like one, and not thinking I said sure. I took it, didn't look, opened it, drank it down, then realized it was a nice ice cold Coors Light. I remember this because my beer of choice is Bud Light. So I tapped the Rocky's and it's been an up and downhill battle ever since.
But, with the help of God I will be able to overcome my cravings and not fall off of my Little Red Wagon tomorrow. As the good book says the Lord will not put more on my shoulders than I can bear. But sometimes that load has been a lot for my Little Red Wagon to haul.
Keep me in your prayers and thoughts tonight and tomorrow as I know temptation will rear its ugly head.
Thanks for helping to tug on my Little Red Wagon another day.

Yeah, it is tempting. I used to plan my days and nights around booze..if I went fishing I took a case of beer and if I took a trip over the highway it was vodka because of the smell of scotch..I was lucky and never got a DUI..
I found that the easiest way to avoid the stuff was to avoid places and situations where it was at..after a year or so it became easier and now I go fishing with guys who take the beer and I drink my coffee..now I miss smoking more than the booze..I use Skoal but still want to reach for the cancer stick. It will be the cigarettes that will eventually kill me..my lungs are shot..
Little Red Wagons are stronger than they look. They hold a surprising amount and travel a long time.
You've chosen a good vehicle.
