I am both grateful and thankful for today, my 4th day of sobriety.
I feel clean, I feel healthy, I feel *normal*.

I had a jam with some muso mates and didn't indulge in anything we musos usually claim we need for 'creativity'.

I played well, and feel a great sense of accomplishment. I'm exhausted but elated.

This is how I want my life to be and, for today at least, I was the man I want to be.

Now for tomorrow !!

thanks all

I am grateful for the fact I am now seven days sober...I'm grateful for the great jam I had tonight with (non-drinking) friends....and for the support they've given me now I've 'come clean' about my struggle...

I'm grateful in fact for this whole wonderful week, and the fantastic new friends I've met here, and I'm most of all grateful for the fact that traces of the old me, someone I'd long forgotten, are starting to re-emerge...

I'm grateful for all my friends, both 'on the outside' and here at SR...here's to the next few weeks...I've never gone 8 weeks sober in living memory since I started drinking at 25...I've had a great week, but the next 7 weeks are still a scary thought, but somehow not as scary as I would've thought a week ago

thanks all
D
