Thank you @Sunflower! And @Soberbilly too! And @JazzyS!

I like this getting older thing! Some out of town, younger colleagues were in town, and they know i don’t drink but were still bugging me to come out and join their shenanigans (maybe they needed a camp counsellor type?). Grateful I could text “In 2 years, I qualify for a seniors discount in some stores. Be safe. Goodnight now.” :sweat_smile:

Grateful to be a joyful killjoy! :smile: :speak_no_evil:

I think we were missing each others posts, Billy - but I’m grateful your Madi is ok and that she has an amazing pop pop.

AA meetings. I’m getting more comfortable with them.
Making up with my mom. We love each other, but just lake with any relationship of any kind, we clash sometimes.
My walks.
Beautiful weather.
Food in the fridge.
Cooking.
Clean clothes.
Emails and texts from good friends.
Naps.
Funny TV shows.
TS badasses.
Family, including doggos of course.
Another day sober.

Day 27

My lower body is still sore, but I walked to my AA meeting and back. Cooked good, healthy meals. Hung out a lot with my dogs and just chilled. Took a much needed nap, when I was feeling grumpy and generally moody, which helped a lot.

Tomorrow I go completely off Prozac for a week before starting my new meds. This’ll be the first time in about 8 years without it. I am grateful for its help, since it definitely played a part in saving my life when I was in a very dark place. I used to be completely against medications, but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Tired now, so off to bed soon.
Love to all you sober badasses! :grin::people_hugging:

Whoops just realized I posted this in the wrong thread! Haha! Oh well.

Early coffee today as usual read 3:30am ~ makes for reflections in the quiet morning with my country music though :smile:
Grateful for Hun letting me zonk out after dinner often due to wierd sleeping. Grateful to get workout lifting at work , 2 birds with one stone, I get paid for gym exercise!!!
Grateful to get cruiser bike back from shop in next few hours, hopeful for tune up apparently one cyl was not firing, should be a different ride now :motorcycle:
Grateful to be sober and practicing tools of recovery. Like no judgement, do my Own inventory, and clean my side of the fence and JFT
Like seeking quiet moment of meditation where I think of HP, myself and my neighbor and relax and seek Truth.
Love to you friends and congrats to all the milestones reached, I think the sober life is the best life!!!

Good morning all! It’s another summer Saturday morning here in southern Wisconsin.

We got to go to the basement last night while storms blew over the town. This morning there is water in my rain gauge. Yay!

I’m grateful for the rain for the farmers and my garden.

I’m grateful to be sober so I can fuss in my garden today and mow the lawn without hangover troubles.

I’m grateful we were safe with 3 dogs and a cat in the basement. The chihuahuas thought we were having a party and the old mutt was nervous.

I’m grateful to be healthy.

I’m grateful to have a cozy and loving home. I even did a pretty thorough house cleaning of one level yesterday, now to try to keep it nice.

I’m grateful my brother continues to make progress in his recovery journey.

I’m grateful for air conditioning and the resources to pay for it.

I’m grateful to be in a kind and loving marriage.

I’m grateful for my life.

I wish you all the best. Stay sober today! Every day counts!

My favorite thing these days is to embrace the age…. Me too, getting to be in the “old” crowd means I get to do what I want, not what I think others want. Love it!

I’m grateful for all of you!

@geng I totally get being best friends with my mom and clashing sometimes. Grateful that you do have her support and that she lives close. Wishing you luck with the medication change. I am like you and not for meds but when they do what they are supposed to then all is good and you can feel more like yourself. Loving how the days are adding up for you!

Now that is awesome – love being able to be active at work as we spend so much time at work. BTW – that’s an awesome lunch spot!

Happy Saturday my beautiful sober companions
I am so grateful for internet - i have been without since 11 pm last night and it has been a challenge. Grateful that i do have to help out at the restaurant and the internet is working here - came early so that i could enjoy the wifi and my morning coffee
I am so grateful that all is well with my parents. I woke up from a bad dream that my dad was in trouble and in a half sleep state i saw a message on what’s app (thank goodness that still worked without internet) - that he was ok and check in on him in an hour… WTF - i guess they went to the pool and wanted to let us know in case the key didn’t work for them to be able to leave. I swear i was so grateful when someone finally answered a phone. I am so grateful that afterwards i was wide awake (LOL)
I am so grateful that i only had a brief 1 min interaction with my brothers GF - had to tell her that the dishwasher has been broken for some time - grateful that she did wash her dishes before leaving - hopefully her internet is working and she won’t be returning. I am so grateful that she is not able to get me all worked up like before - still have a ways to go but i see / feel some progress
I am so grateful that it will be just me and my brother at work today - we do make a great team.
I am so grateful that my sister is in town for a pool party and is planning to stick around a bit so i get to see her after work.
I am so grateful that i will be able to recoup tomorrow in case today becomes to much for me to handle.
I am so grateful that i am able to do my walking meditations / prayers while at work - weather is iffy so we may not be so busy today. Grateful for my connection to my HP - grateful to be learning patience.
I am so grateful that my parents are enjoying their weekend - grateful for their loving support. My aunt from Iran said that i am looking much better and healthier than the last time she seen me.
I am so grateful for a fairly chill day - have the caterings and orders ready. All labeling for next weeks deliveries is also completed.
I am so grateful for my baby brother - he has a heart of gold - the below pic is in tribute to him - he does have me rolling with laughter till i’m in pain!
I am so grateful for all of YOU beautiful caring souls- Thank you for accompanying me on this journey!
Have a wonderful addiction free day my lovely friends… sending much love :heart: :heart:
