Grateful that my stepdaughter and grandkids arrived safely, and grateful that we have a home big enough for us all to live in.

Grateful for seeing someone I was in treatment with in TN, someone I actually had on my list to call THIS WEEK, out running this morning and, get this, AGAIN at an AA meeting tonight! I hadn't called her because I didn't have a number. Well, now I do. Boy, does the Power Greater work in mysterious ways, eh?

And grateful that I did, in fact, go to the AA meeting. I was waffling about going even until I pulled into the parking lot. Obviously, I was meant to be there.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for no thoughts of alcohol for five days.

So grateful for the safety of my loved ones. So horrified and sad about the insane theater shooting in Colorado. May God watch over all those who survive, and may the angels welcome those who have died. May God also be with all the Police and healthcare workers doing all they can to help.The communities in Colorado have been through so much. May they draw from our strength tonight.

Grateful that even though "life on life's terms" is spinning wildly again, I'm still fairly calm about it.

Amazing, ain't it?? I just realized yesterday how little I've been thinking about talking to my old therapist whom I used to be SO dependent on. I mean he was my primary support person and that dependence was a BIG thing I worked on in treatment. So cool to suddenly think how little I'd been thinking about talking with him. Grateful for that.

And grateful for a walk and take-out supper at my place with my life's longest friend. She paid.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Way to go Fandy, that sounds awesome.

I'm grateful that I persisted with my bedroom painting project today. And grateful that my sister and my BFF both gave me texts every couple hours to encourage me. Grateful I asked them to do that, and they were happy to. Such a new thing these last five plus months, asking for help. Still makes me nervous to ask but I.am getting better at it.
