Not feeling ashamed emptying my recycling in the morning and all the glass clashes together letting all the neighbors hear how many bottles I have.

@anon86726034 you have the wonderful gift of making the sinister sound hilarious! I always enjoy your posts terrifically!
I also had the reputation of never remembering the ends of movies, lol more often than not I wouldnt even remember having watched a movie at all 🤦
Not wondering whether I’m too drunk to cycle my bike. I was a pretty steady cyclist even very drunk but there were times I was swerving across the entire double lane street. Horrible. I’m lucky I’m alive, no exaggeration.
Better relationships with people. Things becoming meaningful again.
Feeling myself to be reliable.

Same. I think he murdered the step father though 🤔 Funny enough I think I had to read that on wiki as I also couldn’t remember. Just remembering I had a huge crush on the Irish guy with the face scar 😳

A clear head is the thing I love the most about being clean. No more drug fueled choices. I do still struggle with ego driven choices but hey, I’m working on being a more selfless person. One day at a time.

I think waking up clear headed for me is my number 1 favorite thing that will keep me going.

I completely agree. I had times where I would be clean for a few months at a time and I absolutely loved the feeling of being clear headed. It was something I simply couldn’t forget, each time I would relapse, all I could think about was how great it was having a clear mind and that in itself made getting clean this time that much easier. There were other circumstances that propelled my recovery but that one is such a pivotal part of staying clean.

Sometimes I write in a notebook about the day and that’s always forefront on each page, lol

Interesting, I have been journaling everyday for a month and a half and I don’t think I have ever actually written my appreciation for it. Shame on me, do you do daily gratitude lists?

No I haven’t. I have to do more to stay focused. I do know how lucky I am to be where I am living. I have a good job with great people, I don’t take either one for granted.

I love this.
My list today is…
Waking up and feeling well without having to plan some kind of hustle.
Being able to get a decent night of sleep.
NOT being in a drug induced psychosis.
Rebuilding the friendships I’ve destroyed.
Being able to have a solid poop each day. 🥺

Waking up with a clear head to feed the 4 cats and 2 dogs while the coffee is brewing and appreciating all the love surrounding me. I know they just want breakfast 🤣 but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
And sleeping for 7-8 hours; without waking up 5 or 6 times in the middle of the night with a headache and the Sahara Desert in your mouth and needing gallons of water cuz your choking on sand.
