And i have similar struggles at work, so we are twins, lol
Grateful it is wednesday, the first day of SPRING!

Grateful for choices and control over my previous addictions, feeling better balance these days.
Grateful to not be a drama-mama!

Grateful that gratitude is as normal as morning coffee.
Grateful to be sober in the morning, not hungover
Grateful to have restored sanity, not a desperation to drink over something that was beyond my control and in place waay before i arrived....gambling is a terrible addiction that steals as much as alcohol...
Grateful that i don't pittypat my previous addictions and excuse them as diseases, the only disease i had was self-indulgence in booze, much like marinating, lol.
Grateful it is CATurday!...they woke me before 5am.
