Grateful for humour

Keeping a sense of humour about being an alcoholic is essential to me.

4 1/2 years sober.

I fell of a ladder 2 night ago.

Banged up my arm, my chin and my knee.

My wife and kids came running in.

Writhing in pain I said "You know, if this were the "Good Ol' Days" and I had a bottle of scotch in me I wouldn't have even felt this!"

We all had a good laugh.

For all the pain and anguish I caused my family 5 years ago, life is so good now that we have found our sense of humour about it.

I think that is good. It is for me anyway.

Today I am grateful for life in recovery and being able to 'have fun with it' and keep my sense of humour.

Congratulations on 4 and a half years, BungeJW!

So happy to hear life is going well and you kept your sense of humor.

Now, be careful on ladders!

Thanks for the kudos on my 4.5 years everybody.

Better to fall of the ladder than the wagon. :P
