ACtually, we had a pet thread many years ago, if I recall correctly. I can't believe I will have been an SR member for 10 years in February (the date on the side is wrong). It all started with a case of laryngitis....
UH, my dad use to refer to the litter scoop as the "super duper pooper scooper." That was the deluxe model, I guess.
Grateful for goofy cats.
And grateful for a pleasant outing with the ex and much improved communication, although it seemed to be him that was more "improved" today than I was. Glad to see he's finally figured out he needs to eat when his "sugar blood" gets low (as BArney Fife would say).

Yes, Lady Gaga is my frequent walking (& singing) companion, too. And I just put a '90s Duran Duran album on my iPod for my next jaunt!
Grateful that I am apparently a good role model for some of the difficult people in my life. Glad I have something good to rub off on them.
And grateful I went to a group meditation at Unity this morning and sat for over an hour. That's a record. Not that long ago, I would have rushed off thinking I had more important things to do...
Love and hugs,
Eddie

I love what you said about being grateful for being able to sit still for awhile. I was the same way, now I can actually stop and rest for a bit and quiet my mind. It's a wonder what little things you can accomplish when you are on the straight and content.
Thank you Venus, I'm a-posting!
Grateful I pushed through today. I was loading groceries in the car, and had a drinking thought flash in. I stopped and said to myself: "What's going on EQ?"
Grateful I knew it was anxiety about the little dinner party I was giving tonight.
Grateful I used positive self talk there in the parking lot. I said : "EQ this is just a learning situation for you, If you drank through it, you wouldn't learn anything. That's what you did for 12 years. And that's why you're anxious; it is your first dinner party given as a sober single woman. It's normal to feel anxious trying new things."
Grateful one part of the meal was good and one part I did not like. And I did not stress over it.
Grateful we drank sparkling grape juice in big goblets. Nice to see them get a festive, non alcohol use.
Grateful for good, relaxing company.

Grateful for the awareness that I now have of what's going on around me.
Grateful that I can go through my day without questioning the sanity of everything I do or say.
Grateful for my health and spiritual well being.
Grateful for being able to sit alone in my skin and be content.

Yes, Oceanlady, wine and relaxation was my ideal evening after working hard all day.
And I had the physical consequences to deal with in the AM. Many times went in sick and tired to work. I would always be a really bad day...so happy to wake up to being sober!!!
Thank you for your post that reminds me how is was, not how it is today!! Have a blessed day!!!

Grateful I have off tomorrow and so therefore don't have to commute an hour each way to work in this snow / sleet thingy going here.. If I was scheduled I'd be mandated as essential.
Grateful because I moved from a house to a townhome, and the HOA arranges snow removal, that l don't have to shovel. Hallelujah!
Grateful to play with my dog outside in the first snow episode at our new home. He LOVES snow.
Grateful I am starting to get back to being the pack leader as I lost hand over these months of moves.
Grateful this morning at brunch when my nieces 3 yr old twins were too afraid to get close to Santa, that I sat in Santa's lap to show them he was a good guy.

Christmas shopping was taxing today and I've been fighting cravings. Tonight I am thankful for getting through those cravings, for my 11th day of sobriety and having a warm house (with loving hubby and fluffy cats) to come home to.
And especially thankful for SR and my SR friends. Have a great night.

Though it's not alright that I've procrastinated far too long on washing dishes....I am grateful it isn't because of drinking or using...
I'll blame it on not smoking!
Grateful to be out of the snow and cold...good night and good day!
