Grateful as a result that slowly over time my shame was starved of food, like a tumor cut off from its blood supply, and it withered and dried up while the rest of me has slowly flourished.

Grateful for a bonus day.
Grateful for all that I will accomplish today.
Grateful for the gardens that I grew and that I'm harvesting. I think that caring for them has help me realize that I needed to take care of myself...

Grateful for last minute plans yesterday after work with a meetup group. Feeling out of sorts when I finished my day shift & came home to an empty house (son is out of town for the long weekend). Had a great time socializing; listening & dancing to a local country band.
Grateful for the education that SR has given me. Felt very uncomfortable at the house party I was at on Saturday evening where the alcohol was flowing freely. Even though I can drink socially knew I had to work early the next morning & I was also driving so did not want to drink. Shocked to realize that even though every kind of alcohol was supplied, there were not any non-alcoholic choices available. Did not stay there long, didn't want to be part of a group that can't have fun without alcohol. There was a time in my life when I would have thought this was a wonderful party.
Grateful for the beautiful summer we've had here in July & August. So glad I took some time to enjoy a couple of our festivals & street dances. Life can't be all about work & no fun!

Grateful for spinach-sweet pepper-apple-watermelon-ginger juice on ice!
Grateful for a sunny day.
Grateful for a determination not to panic about upcoming work changes. No point in making things worse by over dramatising them. Or by drinking.
Grateful to take it as a challenge to show how strong and resourceful I can be. Grateful to remind myself I have faced worse and come back stronger.

Grateful that after many tries I am back in SR, my home of sanity.
Grateful that I am recovering from surgery. Grateful for family that is helping Grateful for the tools of Sobriety to help with dealing with much stress. No one else in family is Sober but I use the restraint of tongue and look for the patience to deal with their issues.

Welcome Home ((((((Ippy))))))
You have been missed, but it is important to repair our carcasses, no matter how painful the procedure.
People older than me(not many) keep saying, "it's going to get worse", it being the aging process.
I get my teeth cleaned this month, and some of my friends don't have any teeth, and I am complaining about the pain.
Don't you know Ippy, that it's all about me? ROTFLOL

This is my first grateful post, so I'm going to get some of the big ones out of the way:

I'm grateful that

- I got a DUI because it stopped me from drinking and driving
- My liver tests haven't shown any damage
- I'm healthy enough to take my dog on long hikes
- I have a job that I like that pays the bills
- I haven't ruined my job through drinking
- I have hope for the future
- I'm 22 days sober!
