Grateful for my computer.

It keeps me from being so lonely and gives me friends around the world!

It's the world on my desk, my home inside a home.

My computer and my dogs help keep me sane and sober.

Grateful kitty cat got up the courage to look out the window in our new place and sit on her cat tree; she is adjusting, and that--as a cat mama--makes me relieved.

Yeah!

Grateful for an impromptu "Take Your Son To Work", he moonlighted with me and we finished up the roofing job last night. Hard worker and didn't complain!

Grateful for a pleasant day (and the a/c that made it so pleasant). Grateful to be fully present and clear headed all the time now. What a difference it makes to not be sick/drunk all the time.

Grateful for this new way of living. And now that I no longer hate myself, I find I can love others better. Grateful that I never have to drink again.

Gratitude for this site, the people who
make it work, and the fact that while I haven't made it to where I want to be, I know where I'm going and know without a doubt that I'm not faking it.

Grateful for the opportunity to share my story to the masses again. It's been a long time. Grateful that I didn't pass out from nervousness
