I am very grateful for the past 18 days of sobriety and everyone here at SRF that never gave up on me. I am grateful God has given me the chance to prove to myself and to my peers, that I can do this.

I am grateful for a good night's rest - and I've gotten a lot of them in the past couple weeks. Just wonderful!!!

Grateful zipper is healing from being a codie. Not that there's anything wrong with that

Grateful today that I had time for a lovely long hike to the beach and the rain held off until I was done.

Grateful I got through my doctor's appointment. Should be good to go till next year now. Whew.

Grateful for learning a good new mindfulness technique today. I hope I incorporate it every day.

Grateful to meet my father out and listen to his stories. I have heard them all before but I know how it feels to be lonely.

Grateful to have almost all the wallpaper off the kitchen walls and be pleased with the result.

Grateful to be making an effort to be more patient, as I have felt so agitated lately.

Grateful that sobriety teaches me: that the solution starts with me.

I had the back deck to tear up to put back down today. Filed the divorce papers and got a court date for being irrecoverably broken. It's on our wedding anniversary day. What the...

I felt irrecoverably broken for so long by this.

Grateful
That I am at peace with it.
That we aren't broken too bad, heartbroken, but still good friends.
To be able to accept things for what they are and not live in the past with guilt, regret and remorse.
That I can see the positive side of this...
That I don't feel alone or lonely, even though I really like solitude and spend a lot of time with my self, with consciousness.
That I being able to understand my subconscious mind better, especially by trance and bypassing my critical faculty, the gatekeeper.
That it's quiet, and that I will be in trance in a bit.

For SR for being there and grateful for the strength those in their early days have.


Be kind to yourselves. Love yourselves, no one else in the whole world deserves your loving kindness and compassion more than you yourself do.

I felt irrecoverably broken for so long by this.
I've been married three times. Wife #3 is a keeper (Well, I guess only God knows that for sure!) But time does heal all. My heart hurts for you, it is difficult to find peace at times.

Grateful that there's always more room in my heart to love.

Grateful to be in my sweatpants and robe, under a blanket, listening to the rain.

Grateful I left work earlier then my normal time all week. Grateful the fast pace of work this past month finally slowed down.

Grateful I like the color I started painting in the kitchen. Like it even better on the wall then in the can.

Grateful to have a home of my own that I can unleash my creativity on. Lol

Grateful to finally have the weekend off.

Grateful my mom gave me a call at 5 am earlier this week and we both seem to be connected again. Now I've been calling her at 5:30 am every morning on my way to work. It's actually a perfect time cause we're both early birds due to my job as well as her sleeping habits.

She's really not too happy at the temporary assisted living place she's at now but hopefully will move into an independent living place in a few weeks with better conditions and her own apartment as well as a staff there to help out.

Grateful for Sinead's Avatar - makes me laugh every time.

Grateful for another Friday sober, and a total of 19 days (couldn't do it without God, SRF, and my new friends at AA - going again tomorrow).

Grateful for having a choice, and making the right decisions.
