the awesome heart to heart talks I am having with my daughter, doing goofy things together, making each other laugh, really CONNECTING with each other.
I am grateful for awesome friends, many of them met in my program, who never fail to raise my hope and spirits. And I love the support more than I can express.
I love rediscovering life and all of its beauty: watching a sunset, staring up at the clouds, watching the world wake up slowly in the mornings having coffee on my deck, the sweet sound of children laughing at play.
I love rediscovering the real "me" for the first time in many, many years.
I love being intelligent and clear headed enough to KNOW that a relationship is a NO NO, period. I am enjoying the peace.

Today I woke up grateful that I did not drink last night, and I am grateful to wake up not feeling sick and hating myself. I'm grateful to have been able to look in the mirror and not see a bloated, sick mess. I'm grateful that today will not be wasted sleeping and worrying and that my energy today will not be wasted on coming up with excuses for my behavior and rationalizing it in my head. I'm grateful that I have this day to go see my niece and nephew instead of letting it slip by lying in bed at home still trying to get last night's alcohol out of my system.
I'm also grateful that I found this board so I could log on with my morning coffee and share it with people who understand.

Today I am grateful
That I was able to address a handyman job I have been putting off, accepting that I am unhappy with my low level of skills, and being too easily satisfied with a dodgy job. The result was OK and I didn't get bogged down in anger and dissatisfaction.
I am also grateful to be joined by the rozellas in the trees

Today I am grateful that I spent yesterday at a barbecue and stayed sober. Instead of sucking down beer after beer and being self-conscious the entire time about how much I'm drinking and wondering if anyone else is paying attention, I was four-wheeling in the woods with my brother in law and little nephew, and getting to know distant relatives I've never spoken to before. It's amazing how I always used to have it in my head that everyone disliked me; disliked my tattoos and my lifestyle which would "justify" my getting a good buzz on. I'm finding out I unfairly judged many people in my life and jumped to the wrong conclusions.
