waking up grateful

Hello folks. I just wanted to pass something on to ya. This morning I woke up and said my thanks to my hp but it went a little further than that. I gave it some thought. What has changed in my life in the almost 2 and half years of sobriety? I have a lot to be thankful for. My health, my business is well, my relationships with people has improved. My love life is back, I have a roof over my head. Wonderful kids and grandkids. I guess my point is, all this is in my life and I actually appreciate it. Before it was all about me. Now im here for others and its wonderful. Alcoholism will isolate you. Sobriety will liberate you. PLEASE do not give up on your quest for sanity. Its worth it. Never give in. Never.

I'm glad you passed that wisdom on, Wayne. I agree about the isolation - I never thought that's where drinking would lead me. It's wonderful to be free.

Sobriety is amazing. Thanks for reminding me that I have a lot to be grateful for too.

Drinking was miserable. I felt so isolated and lonely.

Sobriety is so much better!

gratitude is really something. Just yest i went to the store and thought what a nice day what a nice drive i'm so thankful i got this car and it runs I'm so happy i live where i do. I'm happy i can afford to go to the store to day and get some foods. While thinking all this i felt good.
