The alcoholic voice in my head keeps telling me Im able to drink, its not my fault, so with this, my last drink 25 days ago, and horrendous withdrawals in mind, I am grateful for the following:

1 to be able to stand up for 5 minutes
2 to pass clear urine, not dark copper coloured
3 to be able to eat food
4 not need to beg God to help me
5 to be able to sleep

Thank you, Im most grateful for being sober today and not obsessing about alcohol, I hope this helps others, keep strong

  1. Grateful that I get a good night sleep and wake up in a clean warm bed.

  2. Grateful that I have incredible Sumatra coffee brewing for me when I awake.

  3. Grateful that I’m not waking up in an alley or ditch covered in my own urine and feces, a filthy disgusting shell of a human being that I once was do to my addictions.

  4. Grateful to be able to guide and be of service to people in their recovery, regaining their dignity and self-respect that they lost in their addiction.

  5. And most of all grateful to the miracle of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and my Higher Power that is understanding and forgiving. Without this none of the above would have been possible. :heart:

Grateful, for some reason, I came across this quote somewhere this morning while doing my devotionals.

“There is always at least one more fact, which we know nothing about, in every person’s situation.”

Grateful for being clear headed and sober while I had to do extra chores this morning before my coffee.

I guess not drinking this year and mostly I got the Noom app. There’s a coach on there and another group and message board and a place to easily log ALL the food your eat and exercise. You have to pay for it. And also I turned sixty this year and fat drunk and hungover is no way to finish up my life. :rofl:
