Grateful for a phone call from an old colleague. He is recovered from AA and I trusted him to tell him about quitting alcohol in Feb. He has been encouraging and tonite walked me through what to expect if I decide to go to an AA mtg on my trip next week to Canada. I have never been to an AA mtg. Have used other recovery methods. But I will be on a cruise and surrounded by alcohol so may need reinforcements. So grateful for his help.

Grateful to have the talk I had today with a stranger. Grateful she was so kind. Grateful to see so much good in the world, in the weirdest places.

Good night everyone!

I'm grateful for Carol's good news. I hope you are feeling well.

I'm grateful to share this, the 31st anniversary of the day my husband and I moved in together with him. Just Turkey Burgers and olympics.

Grateful to be sober and safe after ten days!

And I'm really grateful to feel myself. To move like myself. Gosh. Thank you SR

Not very grateful for the call from the Dr.'s office, but grateful I'm not freaking out or drinking over it.

Grateful for a pretty good meeting with a new therapist this morning. Mixed feelings about leaving my old therapist; he has done so much for me. I'm trying to maintain my optimism about proceeding with someone else.

Also grateful always for ACCEPTANCE. I see how LACK of acceptance affects the people around me and it makes me glad glad glad I'm not where they are! But, at the same time, I feel bad for them.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for a lovely day in the city with my best friend. Grateful that, although I wanted to drink in the restaurant, I did not. Grateful that the thought came to me that the overall large majority of the time I am pleased I no longer drink... And that I should expect to not always be thrilled about it 100% of the time.

Glad I thought like a grownup. Grateful today is my 175th consecutive sober day.

Grateful for a breathtaking full, low hanging, harvest moon.

Grateful tonight for the lead that didnt show up, and a girl got up and did her first one. On the spot. So glad I was there.

Sleep well.

I'm grateful that I'll get to be without resorting to alcohol on this sad and stressful evening. I'm grateful that the worst is almost over for my little mare.
