I’m grateful we made it out to Newport safe and sound. I’m grateful the gps took us a longer route at a faster speed instead of bumper to bumper traffic and got here in the same amount of time.

I’m grateful for my espresso again before my coffee. I’m grateful I got Benson whizzed and all the pets fed and now enjoying my coffee. Enjoyed my coffee.

I’m grateful the fire place here puts out :fire:
I’m grateful Daisy is enjoying it on the pet mat by herself. I’m grateful Daisy and Benson enjoyed it together on the mat last night in front of the fire.

I’m grateful everyone around here seems to warn everyone about coyotes to protect their dogs.

I’m grateful Benson is sleeping on the new couch. Im grateful Benson likes to sleep on the new bench at the foot of the bed, on the soft blanket, more room for us and the cats.

I’m grateful the A/V guy is coming real early then maybe we can explore and of course lunch out. Maybe a nice cappuccino.

I’m grateful for cool California Pacific Ocean weather and my new hoodie.

I’m grateful for working gratitude when I don’t know what else to work on in the morning for my sobriety.

Trust me. You will loose everything.

Over 2 months sober from drinking!

I wish I had someone to process stuff with

Its strange that I have been poisoning myself with drinking all my adult life

Probably because of multigenerational emotional traumas I guess

@Lab How are you doing?

Great job on your 2+ months. Are you able to get a counsellor (if you attend AA meetings) or a therapist to help you process stuff with? It takes time for us to heal from all our traumas. Now we don’t have our DOC to keep us numb it can become a bit overwhelming. Big hugs :hugs:
