Hello my friends,
What a wonderful Thanksgiving to be alive, sober and grateful for so many people and so many blessings in my life. I was reading about feellings in Guy's book on the First Year of Sobriety. I am not always grateful for my feelings. I don't like how I can't control them. Yes, I am working on that....however I try to be thankful for my feelings good or bad because it makes me alive and in the present. I am not trying to escape them but deal with them and take them for what they are.
I am grateful for all of you being here and how we are all here for each other. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to share it with those whom you love and cherish.
I went skiing yesterday here in CO and yes, it was hard not to have that drink at the end of the day, but I had coffee instead and I did not miss out on anything. We don't really miss out when we stay sober do we? We miss out when we don't!!!
Have a great Day after Thanksgiving! Anyone going to brave the malls today?
Hugs, Jalyn
