Feeling Grateful...

Today...I'm feeling grateful, and for good reason. I'm celebrating my 10th year in sobriety at the end of this month and today's my actual sobriety date. For that...I'm feeling grateful. It all started for me this day ten years ago and I hope it will continue on for many years to come.

I sobered up 10 years ago and my life has been enjoyable ever since. Don't get me wrong, there is an occasional bump in the road, from time to time, but it can't compare with my previous life, not in the least. There are no more "wasted days" where everything gets put on hold because of my drinking. There are no more fears about tomorrow or concerns about yesterday, because today is all I have. Resentments aren't commonplace anymore, neither are my failures and misguided rationalizations, just a promising outlook at a brighter future -One Day At A Time.

I'm grateful for the all the blessings that come my way and all the people who fill my life with the joys of sobriety. I'm forever grateful for the people who've molded me into the person I've become today. So, thank you "AA", "SR" and my sober network for giving me a chance at staying sober and enjoying the fruits of this wonderful sober life, here and now, one day at a time.

~God bless~
