This morning I am grateful for:
- being up to see my partner leave for work and NOT fighting like mad with him like yesterday morning... lol
- having some quiet time to myself before my day truly begins
- coffee. sweet sweet coffee
- looking forward to my meetings today
- having some housework to do before I leave for my nooner to help keep me busy
- my online Spanish class
- waking up sober on day 6 feeling better then I did yesterday
- and of course... the wonderful support of SR and the fact I stumbled across this lovely board.

grtgrandpa

Grateful for a visit from my oldest son who is a role model for success in every category.

When I look at him, I say, "that's my boy running down the field for a touchdown".

During dinner at a restaurant he drank the smallest glass of wine I have ever seen, and gave me his drinking responsibly talk.

He is not one of us, and even though he has lost 2 sisters to our disease, he does not understand alcoholism.

I need to be grateful for my six living children who do not have the craving illness.
