Hmmm. A morning workout. That's probably what I need to get back to doing myself, actually. Thanks for that reminder, Astro! Grateful that it is nice and cool down here in the basement. I like it. And grateful to finally get to see MY therapist again. It seemed like it had been forever. Now I need to go figure out how to apply for unemployment. Fun fun. Love and hugs, Eddie

Hanging out with my sponsor and his sponsor all evening. Holy smokes did I learn a lot! Among much wisdom, discussion regarding "the re-emergence of the ego". Now there's a scary thought. So grateful for both of them. Another big day in my recovery. Very grateful for my wife who takes care of the kids and home while I work on my recovery. |

Wow, I'm grateful for the shares I've read on this page today, to be a part of such an amazing and thankful community in recovery! I also have some gratitude today for an interesting and productive life. Quite a change from just planning when and where my next drink would be.

Grateful for God working in mysterious ways in my life....prayed for a car.... maybe not ready yet! Instead I have a wealth of girls offering rides now, saying service is helping them.... Guess all things happen in "His" time...not mine...after all, did I not turn my will and my life and ask for guidance in my recovery just for today? (And I think God is telling me to quit the isolation bit!) *Lol* L...P.... lovies

I'm grateful for the privilege of taking care of my parents in their sunset years. And for my vacation from work which begins Friday. And for this thread. God bless.

Grateful that today wasn't as bad as yesterday. Grateful for my canine kids who keep me grounded and feeling loved. Grateful that God kept me sober today.

Yeah that "new kid "sure was a blessing today...had a fender bender on the way to pick me up...was so gracious...I told her it was a sign that she is doing the right thing...staying sober just for today...she believes as I do, when we change...the old way..or lower power fights back. So she is convinced to stay sober...the accident (while doing service work) made her more detemined to not pick up a first drink today! Very exciting... We both got goosebumps talking about it. Rells...

Grateful for something new to try. Dinner and a movie with a group of "normie" motorcycle riders. Geez I don't know if I can handle all the fun I'm having in recovery  Somebody pinch me!

Grateful I went to a new support group for eating disorders last night. It inspired me to get back to setting a daily goal for myself like I did when I was in treatment. Grateful that none of the utilities have been disconnected...yet. Have to go fix supper now. Have a lovely night, y'all! Love and hugs, Eddie
