Thanks for checking on me Jazz I finally got 5 hours of sleep, which is huge. Today is a full week of sobriety and tbh it’s scary. Every day has been anxious ridden and scary. I’m staying busy and trying not to think of how I ended up here every couple minutes. But, I’m grateful I woke up conscious, not hungover, not still going from the night before, and not throwing up or sweating. I’m still grateful for hope.
I feel extremely grateful for everyone here
Thats lovely to hear Roxanne

I am grateful for friendship and for being alive today. I realized how many times I could be dead
@Sissychris39 yes!!! Work it’s really triggering for me, the Access to junk food its really easy
Ohh. I haven’t worked in over a decade (I collect SSD) so I forgot about how tempting that shit is. You’re doing very well, so you’ve got this!

I’m grateful for a great turnout at NA Volleyball tonight we had about 14 people show up, was lots of fun. I’m grateful a homegroup member celebrated one year at the NA meeting, there was a speaker and other members got six months, three months, one month and always nice to see a few newcomers got their first keytag for day one. I’m grateful to be safe and warm in my bed ready for some sleep. I’m grateful for prayer and mediatation. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they instill.

I’m grateful for my Starbucks espresso roast beans this morning. I’m grateful said beans were deliver by Amazon yesterday before I got home. I’m grateful for a killer cup of coffee of my own making this morning.
I’m grateful I found my AirPods.
I’m grateful the flight home was all so smooth.
I’m grateful for the funny pic I just took. I think it’s funny. I’ll post it on the pet thread for a laugh. I’m grateful for humor.
I’m grateful for boundaries. I’m not good at them. Oh I can make them. I can over think them. But keeping them. Fucken Ay! Not so much. I’m grateful todays boundary is going to be simple. Get Alice to the vet. Get my ass to my meeting. Sounds easy enough. We’ll see.
I’m grateful to get to my boundary I will take it one hour at a time.
I’m grateful for a lovely weekend with Chicky Chickie and fam. I’m grateful I miss her so much.
I’m grateful Benson did well at the vet boarding without his side kick I’m grateful when he came out to see us he was going the wrong way. And when I called him he had those funny cartoon animal hind legs excitedly turning around without getting a grip on the floor and finally running to his daddy. I’m grateful he smelled so good after they bathed him.
I’m grateful for my 4 cats and all the love I get from them in groups and individually. I’m grateful I got to feed them all too early this morning.
I’m grateful for the strange desert sunset last night. The sun was setting behind me in the west but some how there was some reflecting going on and there was sun rays setting in the East behind me. I cannot explain the desert and just love being fascinated by it.
I’m grateful to get my next walk in.
I’m grateful for chanting Om Mani Padme Hum on my walk with Benson this morning. I’m grateful at times I was belting it out.
Grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful my recovery remains as close as my next meeting.
Todays Hope
I’m grateful I woke up sober and naturally at 6:50am to take my daughter to volleyball at 8am. I’m grateful for @Starlight14 and all the compassion she’s been nurturing me with daily. I’m grateful I’m not alone in this world with my addiction to alcohol.
@Sissychris39 thank you . I am grateful for the difficulty and for being able to overcome it with the help of others
You’re welcome. We all support you
Thank you
