I am grateful for the dream I had last night where I decided to drink to get through an event I was committed to and the subsequent events that followed including losing my.phone, all of my money and and a robbery. I appreciate the reminder of the dire circumstances that will most certainly follow for me if I were to take that drink.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I CAN enjoy myself having fun in Santa Monica without drinking.
I grateful I can leave a restaurant at night with no alcohol in my blood system; and drive, and never have to worry about if I’ve had too many drinks to drive.
I’m grateful for the quiet mornings with the sliding door open out back, with a screen door, and all the birds chirping away. And even the sound of cars driving by. And now a dog barking next door.
I’m grateful for humidity. I don’t have any hair so there’s no issue there.
And I’m grateful my fingers aren’t cracked because of the dry mountain air.
I’m grateful for all the stuff we are slowly getting done around the condo. A little bit at a time.
I’m grateful my daughter is available for mani pedis on Thursday. I have to make a res. It’ll just be me and her after more than a year apart. Then we can all go out to lunch.
I’m grateful I just remembered I have the “picture this” app. And I can use it on all the different flowers around here. Well, theoretically. 
and if I remember to pull it out and use it.
I’m grateful for TS and sharing how much fun I’m having sober. It does get easier. And we do not have to live from one drink to our next drink. No we don’t!
We get to decide.
One day
Or
Day one

Greatful for being sober, today, so noone will miss it, 2.5 years! Can you believe it? I can.
Grateful for having my brother. Grateful for riding my bike/bikes and feeling freedom.
Grateful for having one great colleague at my side here.
Grateful my part time stretch will start in some weeks. Greatful the inner storms although still rough and sometimes overwhelming, calm down more quickly.
Grateful being more in touch with me and my feelings. They guide me the way. They will navigate me.
Grateful my inner adult can calm my inner child respectfully, not suppressing her numbing her with booze or binge eating and purging.
Grateful I started this journey. Sometimes I feel/felt lost but that’s when I am too close. The big picture makes sense.

Today I am grateful for:
- having a half day off work to get my first Covid jab. No bad effects so far, fingers crossed.
- because I’ve had my jab, I get to see my mum and dad in person again in a couple of weeks.
- for all the amazing and generous people who sponsored me this month while I tried to raise money for a local animal shelter. I managed to raise almost £300. Amazing
- for surviving another bank holiday weekend.
- for having no urge at all to go to the pub in the UK, even though they have been open for a little while now.
- that I’m blessed enough to have a good job even though it’s demanding and stressful, it keeps a roof over our head.
- for a sober journey that keeps on giving me inspiration to continue.
Hope you’re all ok my lovely sober friends.
xx

Today I am grateful that I felt safe enough last night at a NA meeting to be vulnerable and shed my “armor” (

I am grateful that I got in to see a chiropractor today, and he was able to get my sacroiliac in.

I am grateful for my crazy dogs and all the joy they bring me.
I am grateful for my parents and all the love and kindness they have shown me throughout my life, their love has never wavered no matter where my life has taken me.
I am grateful that my daughter is verbal and able to tell me she loves me with words.
I am grateful there are so many genres of music that suit all my moods.
I am grateful for life and death, everything ugly and everything beautiful in between.
Thank you for being a part of my recovery.
