Grateful for another hangover free sober morning.
My coffee.
My green tea.
Yesterday’s rain.
Last nights rain.
Much rain in the forecast today.
Cool cloudy summer mornings.
Cats and dogs and family and friends.
All the blessings I have that I don’t deserve.
A loving God.
My newish lightweight zip white hoodie that makes me think of my mum RIP because she always wore lots of white sweats and hoodies.
My sister and only sibling and I have been friends again for ten months now since mum died, after not speaking to each other for 3 years after Dad died.
The gorgeous quiet stillness this morning after a wet night.
Today I am grateful for:
- changing my mind. Earlier tonight I had decided to drink and asked my partner to buy some cola so I could have vodka. While he was out at the shop, I changed my mind. I remembered why I started this journey, how much I really love my sleep now and all the things I have planned for tomorrow. I am so grateful I was strong enough to do that.
- I am grateful I am still sober
- I’m glad I will be hangover free in the morning
For today, this miracle means the world to me.
Love to you all

Today I am grateful to be alive and sober. Today I am grateful for aa tonight. Today I am grateful for work ahead of me, a motorbike licence test and an interview with a university next week for prospective study as a primary teacher.
Grateful for life, for my kids, my sense of calm as anxiety lessens becoming sober, that I am still working, for the internet (i’m old enough to remember when it didn’t exist) for keeping it simple, for another day of waking up.
Grateful to be alive, grateful for comfy beds, grateful for my higher power, grateful for fun times and sunshine, grateful for yummy food, pets, fresh water, flowers, trees, rivers, oceans. Grateful for steaks, greatful for smiles, grateful I have a job tomorrow and goals over the next two weeks. Grateful for 13 months clean and sober.
Grateful for the warm cat on my lap.
Another hangover free sober morning.
Purring cats attacks in the morning to wake me up.

My cooking has been spot on the last few meals.
Cats in boxes.
