Grateful for the cool down..

gravity · 07-02-2009, 08:00 AM

Recent posts on the gratitude threads really got me thinking about my new life.

Yesterday, I was able to do some of favorite activities:

- Spent the morning fishing – listening to my favorite music (light rock – Coldplay, The Fray, Fleetwood Mac), enjoying nature, the peace & solitude.
- Mountain biking down the nature trails by my home – amazing old trees, a beautiful lake, wildlife.
- A trip to town with my family – Canada Day celebrations, ice cream parlor.
- Evening at home watching football on TV (Canadian Football League season openers).

I woke up well rested, no hangover. I went through the day without those old constant companions – alcoholic obsession & fear (it’s sad that so many people live like this everyday). And I went to bed at peace knowing that I would sleep well, no need to drink myself to sleep.

I guess what I’m saying is that sobriety & the 12 steps have made this all possible. I no longer just go through the motions – my life appearing good on the outside but living an inner hell.

I can now truly appreciate everything I have been blessed with. And I have been blessed with so much.

And even though I have been sober for many days, I can’t take all of this for granted.
