Health

I'm grateful for my health. To think that on a weekly basis I used to abuse my body daily with cigarettes, booze and pot is mind boggling. Now I eat healthy, take vitamins and work out three days a week at least. I'm not a "meat head" and spent most of life feeling scrawny and weak. Recently I started doing crossfit and it is really hard but the fact that I can flip a tractor tire 1/4 of a mile or do 50 pull ups, push ups and squats is amazing. I'm just grateful that in sobriety I am no longer taking my body for granted. I have heard some say that our bodies are god's greatest gift so it feels wonderful not waking up every day and destroying it.

Good for you and yes the body is the temple to the soul. Feels great to take care of it. I agree.

RWS, thanks for the POSITIVE inspiration! I agree...

for now I am very grateful that I traded a glass of wine in the morning for a veggie omelette...and I am grateful that in taking care of my body it has responded too.

I am very grateful that my hair is growing back full and thick..(it was falling out by the handful last March, I could pull piles of it out of the drain after showering).
