Grateful for a warm heart instead of a jaded splintered liquor shattered one.

33 days.
Grateful that things are clear.
Easier to connect to where the next step is to accomplish goals
Open to moving forward.
Open to possibility
Relaxation and not feeling rushed.
Feel moving at the right pace.
Not having the feeling of having to play catch-up all the time from misspent / muddy time.
Calmer.
Learning from advice not seeing as criticism.
Confidence from knowing that I'm not ignorant of something due to alcohol infusion.. And therefore more confidence in myself and my understanding or lack thereof in any given circumstance.

Clarity.

Grateful to create opportunities
To care enough about myself to want better
The certainty of change
For focusing on a coworkers pain and not my discomfort
for the future on its way
For the past disappearing behind me
For how life is nothing, but means everything.
Grateful for the dust we came from and go back to.
Grateful the Universe is here, and we don't know why
Grateful for the magic.

Grateful for 40 days sober


Lots of work
The feeling of holding a bankroll of notes in my hand.
Confidence to handle situations.
Confidence to be quiet and not have to prove anything or speak if I don't want to.
Falling asleep quickly
Rising rested after lots of dreams
Rising early, not at Midday.
Health.
Looking younger.
Can see the whites in my eyes.
More control over thoughts to guide my emotions.
Being able to trust and depend my thoughts and feelings as being as sincere as possible and not tainted by the liquor is at the top.
