grateful to be able to 'let things go'...if something happens, thats fine & if nothing happens, thats fine to.


I used to be such a control freak always trying to manipulate or control the outcome of situations, not to mention people.

mucho gratitude here folks!

As usual right in the thick of things but whats new is that I don't get caught up in 'les dramatic' I just get on with stuff

Feeling better grateful for that
In recovery can't tell you how grateful that makes me feel, has brought tears to my eyes.
In Love with myself grateful for that

I think John Lennon got it right .... all we need is love... yeah I know pay the bills but thats all I want and I have it these days when I work the program and keep my eyes wide open.

Hope you are all having a bonza day.

Love Kevin

It is the "easier softer" way and I am grateful we are all figuring that out.

Grateful that I pay attention to "red flags" today. I used to be attracted to them.. then I ignored them...then I flinched when I saw them... now I am able to STOP when I see them. ha ha ha lol progress.....

Have a great weekend if you are in the Australia part of the world. Happy Friday if your not.

Yeah L..I was gonna put in a picture of red flags but the way I was feeling at that moment a bull seemed more appropriate...well..for me

Grateful for a good meeting...grateful it's just down the road from home.

Grateful to be clean and sober today...even if hubby's is bent out of shape about it today. He's not in recovery...and not dealing very well with my new ways of thinking and living.

I spose after 20 years...it's a bit of a shock to his system...well, the fact that my recovery is ongoing. I guess it's a process for him too.

I probably should have posted this elsewhere.

Yeah...grateful to be sober!
