How very appropriate that I should be writing the first reply on this "new" thread. I can hardly believe it's been five and a half years, I think.

This morning I am grateful that I don't have to worry about "ways and means" to maintain an ugly drug habit. I just had a dream in which I was hunting through many-decades-old medicines looking for what I wanted/needed.

I'm also grateful to be going to the beach in a couple of days with my husband. We have not gone there together since before we got clean, so it's been about 7 years. I'm excited.

Hope all are having a swell weekend!!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for no s n o w yet hehe, but most of the leaves on the trees are gone

But I am looking forward to the holidays~and the holiday food, actually should start jogging again so I won't have too much to shed come spring time.

Grateful to see a new member here with us
janbear, Welcome....

Trying to be grateful our AA bilding is now non smoking.

It's been heading that way for 5 years
finally GC voted to ban smoking.

We now have a smoking area outside but I won't be
sitting there ....in the interest of unity...I will be inside
And yes...I do still smoke....have no plans to stop.

Believe808 · 09-30-2009, 04:40 AM

We can't smoke at ours either Carol. Haven't been able to in a long time.

grateful for taking steps in recovery.

and knowing I am not alone in taking them. Thank you God.

Janbear
