Hey guys!! I have not been on here in a long long time, but something got me thinking of you guys and I wanted to pop on and say that I am so incredibly grateful to each and every one of you guys!! Last year I had a really scary even happened that spurred to actually really try to get sober. I downloaded this app in hopes that it would help in some way, and it did! I would get on here multiple times a day to connect with others in recovery to try and do whatever I could to get sober. You guys were so welcoming and so supportive! I ended up going to an IOP treatment and I’m glad to say that I am over a year sober now! Between this group and that program I finally figured it out! I have made so many friends in recovery, I am working my steps with a sponsor, I left my husband who was abusive and I am financially supporting myself! If it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t be here today! So thank you!!

Today I’m grateful for:
~Skylights and watching sunsets & sunrise clouds from bed
~Cooler walks
~Being able to see some of the impact on my body by what I consume to be able to make better decisions
~A new vaccuum that cuts my time vaccuming dog hair drastically
~That vacuum being on super sale
~Being able to be in the flow of life
~Knowing all I need to do is pray, pause to listen & then take the next right step- everything else will work itself out
~Wise long term sober folks and their wisdom shared at meetings and in the program
~My old AA book with all my notes that keeps falling apart
~A photo of my bestie, my niece visiting from out of state and my son (their nephew & cousin) getting together that made my whole day
~Animals being able to be pet while I work
~Standing desks
~Having people in my life that love me for me, as I am-imperfections & all
~Blessed to have a dear friend in my life for another year as her age catches up to mine again today

I have finally come back over here and POOF over 100 unread/new items.
I know depression is not a definition of self
I went a little crazy with deciding to get OVER what I know is self-misguidance.
I re-enrolled into a Master’s Degree program related to Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
I decided no one decides - except for me - about what I will do.
Day 529.
I quit smoking again yesterday. It’s more than hard, as I feel like it’s the only thing I have control over
I have gratitude about feeling mad. It’s gotten to the point of “strike outs.” I am angry, despite knowing you don’t control them, family members who haven’t helped in any way.
Okay, all done for now. I might be back.

Today I am grateful to have my adult children with me, to be able to appreciate the the little things in life. We have moments of laughter, silly giggling fits, we sing, dance and scream at spiders and of course we can argue, but little moments like these are taken for granted so often that I am lucky to be able to have these moments that may be appear daft to others but to know the three of us just click together is awesome
