Rain is my favorite thing, lol…which says alot about me!:blush: My sister up north will text and grumble about the rain and say “I know you’d love it though”, lol.
When I lived in a house near the Cape (in MA) I lived near the beach and had a big umbrella, my favorite things; beach and rain, :joy:
I get cravings sometimes strong ones, I just say to myself NOTHING good comes from it.
Enjoy your day hun!

Congratulations on the ten days. That’s great. I too kind of live in the woods and pretty isolated so I’m grateful for that. It is sometimes very hard to come up with the gratitude list each day, especially with what’s going on now, but I just make myself do it. I been told by more experienced people in recovery than I that it’s a great easy exercise to start your day.

I grateful for another day and a chance to be proud of myself for my sobriety and weight loss. Grateful my daughter-in-law after recovering from the flu got tested and actually had Covid19 and now has the antibodies to not get it again. Or some shit like that. I don’t quite understand it but it’s a good thing. Grateful my son is getting tested and praying for the best outcome. He’s not sick thank God. Grateful I had my cat on my lap again this morning she knows I need her. Grateful I had my needy dog on my lap he knows he needs me. Grateful for instacart. Grateful I’m not drinking even though my wife is drinking enough for the both of us. Grateful my wife’s drinking doesn’t bother me. Well, let’s just say it doesn’t bother me as much as it use to. Grateful I realize I can’t do jack shit about her and her drinking and can only take care of myself. Grateful for all of y’alls support out there. Be safe and keep your distance and as so many celebrities have been saying “STAY THE “F” AT HOME!”
