Grateful that I am healthy enough that while not my favorite way to travel, I can manage my 45 minute train ride standing...I'm guessing Rusty has my seat...Grrrr

Grateful I had no bad dreams last night.

Grateful for today's free lunch and early home

Today, I grateful for cranberry zinger tea. (It's not my beloved coffee but maybe I can get use to it. Ohhh please let me learn to love it.)

I'm grateful that I'm not sick right now! (Cause everyone around me has a cold/flu.)

I'm grateful that the "Living Sober" books I ordered arrived in less than a week!

I'm grateful that Nova produced a short film called The Universe Within. It gave me a rude awakening to what alcohol does to your body! Effecting every cell and breaking down your body at warp speed.

I'm grateful that I feel better and better each day!

I'm grateful that all the snow we received last night didn't injure anyone.

I'm grateful that it's Friday so that I can continue working on my business.

I'm grateful to have a warm house physically and a warm house virtually (SR).

I'm grateful that, as much as I don't want to, I'm healthy enough to drag my butt to the gym this morning.

I'm grateful that my dream about getting drunk and having to change my sobriety date was just a dream.

G'morning Grat-Pack, make it a good one out there today!

I'm glad too, Untox - I've had those dreams and what a relief to wake up to reality!

Grateful it's Friday, fairly light day at work, and I'm having a delicious cup of hot coffee.

Betterlife, big congrats and hugs on your 50 days sober!!


This morning I'm grateful for my sobriety as little diabetic dog is having tummy troubles and I'm not drunk or passed out so can notice and respond to these things. He was sick last night and again this morning so gave him kaopectate in his breakfast and he seems to be feeling better now. I am so grateful and happy to be sober so I can take good care of their needs.

Grateful also that my one errand this morning can be put off til tomorrow as the streets are pretty bad still. Don't want to risk an accident so am staying home. Grateful for the good judgement that comes from living sober.
least is online now

Grateful for a picture perfect winters day!

Grateful that the electrical problems in my house look like they might get me into a gallery!

Grateful that I had the confidence to seize the moment which I would not have had if I wasn't sober.

Grateful to be alive...grateful to be me...happy Friday all!

Hey Sneezy - it's a short film only about 60 mins. I borrowed it from the library. I'm sure if you google it you can probably find it online for free.


Last night, I stayed up entirely too late reading. Overslept this morning and now I'm dragging. Ohhh well...at least I'm not hungover!

Today, I grateful to be healthy, happy and sober!

Have a wonderful day Grat Packers!
