Bedtime Gratitude Part 9
Isn't he just?? I think he is also the snugglinest kitty I've ever had, which is just perfect because that's what I was missing so badly.
I am grateful for a full & productive day. I got up about 5:15AM this morning, went to the gym for a 5:45AM class. It was Metabolic Effect, which I hadn't done in probably over two years. I survived. I went for a walk with my mom after breakfast, went to the tanning bed, then to yoga class—all before noon!!
I'm also grateful for my husband saying I could talk to his doctor. I just feel like I need to share some observations because I don't think the doc is getting a really complete picture. I don't know if Chris just isn't very self-aware or if he is just not telling the doctor everything, but he needs to know more, I believe.
Worn out here. Sleep well, everyone. I probably won't because of the rampaging feline, but I really don't mind.
Love and hugs,
Eddie

I was out of town for the past 2 nights, staying in a hotel. I slept in this morning, woke up at 8:45 AM, meeting at 9:30 AM! Argh!
Even though I did not drink, talk about deja vu! In the past, I woke up so many times in that same hotel, still half drunk, late for my meeting - the panic, the fear. Trying to make myself look presentable, bloodshot eyes, still slurring my words, wondering if I smelled like booze...
I had that initial surge of panic but quickly realized that all was well – hit the alarm-off button instead of the snooze . Made it to my meeting, 15 minutes late but well rested!
God, I am so grateful that I am sober and in a way, this is a part of being given another chance to be responsible, to be happy, to live. There are some things you can do over.

Thank you, Rella!! We are very pleased with him. Now, you all will get to see him grow up.
Sorry I missed again last night. I keep having these low blood sugar episodes and crashing out in the evenings. I still need to work on my schedule so that I'm eating at regular times. Then maybe I can avoid some of these problems.
I'll try to make sure I get on here tonight. Y'all have a good day!!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Today I am actually finding it difficult to feel grateful. I still feel yuk and all I want to do is curl up in bed.....
So I need to work my program and write out some things I am grateful for because this fog that's been on me for two days really sucks....
So....
Grateful to be sober
Grateful to be a part of SR
Grateful Today I know that misery is optional !!
Grateful for AA
Grateful to know I can count my blessings which is much better than feeling sorry for myself
Wishing everyone a safe, clean and sober evening.

Awesome job, Lbad!! I had a year sugar-free on October 1, but I didn't celebrate because I was still compulsively overeating other things. My "official" recovery date with regards to food is February 26, 2008. I am glad you are back "on the wagon" so to speak.
Thank you for sharing, espresso!! We have to keep gratitude foremost in our minds.
Tonight, I'm grateful that Remy's growth on his tongue is SOooo much better. I think even the vet was pleasantly surprised. Remy has been mad at/scared of me since we got home, but I'm just happy that he's OK.
I'm also grateful that my friend C. was back at Caduceus tonight. I hadn't seen him in a while. In fact, I don't think I'd seen him since his partner, D., was diagnosed with brain cancer. It was good to see that he's OK, too.
Sleepy sleepy here. Y'all take it easy!!

For the past several days, I have been stressing out over things that are best left in more capable hands . I have been trying to keep spiritually fit (not always easy when fear & self-pity set in) and it helps so much!
I am grateful that I was kind to everyone that I was in contact with today. From loving my kids first thing this morning through to telling my wife I love her and wish her a good nights sleep. Some days it's hard living in my own head and I think that kindness is one of the best ways to see what is truly important. It's just sort of revealed! Funny how that works...
