I am grateful I woke up without a hangover.
I am grateful for talking with a friend last night. And that she remembered that I wasn’t drinking anymore. It’s strange sometimes that for me it seems so distant and for them as we don’t see eachother often it’s still part of their life.
I am grateful for my bed, food and enough money to buy what I need.
I am grateful being still connected to some people where I was living before where I started my sobriety actually.
I am grateful my friend is asking how I am doing.
