Today, ... I am grateful for

1) waking up still drunk and shaking on Satuday morning so that I couldn't go out till the afternoon and buy booze ... but it didn't matter right? cos its just the beginning of the weekend.

2) waking up still drunk and shaking on Sunday morning so that I couldn't go out till the afternoon and buy more booze ... but come on, if I go to bed early I'll be OK for work

3) waking up still drunk and shaking on Monday morning so that I couldn't go to work ... shouldn't have had that extra bottle of wine

4) waking up still drunk and shaking on Tuesday morning so that I couldn't go to work ... I only meant to have a four pack to ease me down, thought a bottle of wine seemed a good idea too, and then found myself stumbling back from the booze shop at 10:00 at night with a bottle of Vodka.

5) realizing what a total waste of space I was and going through 48 hours of rattling and shaking to get here on Thursday.

This is as close to the rocky bottom as I want to get.

So now I'm swimming to the surface and, believe me, I sure am grateful for that.

526 soher days..
....where growth is always happening and being hooked in hellish stagnation is no longer an option.

Grateful where sobriety is concerned my motto is failure is not an option therefore relapse is not an option.

being up and creative on a wintery Saturday morning
the place where the creativity comes from
being out of the weather

The AC s are still trudging along.
The dog is still trudging along.
I am still trudging along
The world keeps turning.

i wish the AC's would trudge along a little quieter!

as the roar is starting to mess with my serenity!

grateful to have them though

a week at the beach
being able to sit still for 3 hrs to watch a sunset
building sandcastles with my grandchildren
my husband's new job
the ability to be open to change
faith and hope - the guardians of my soul....

A show on the life of Buddha
Reminding me how much meditation helps with detachment, equilibrium and wisdom and I should be doing it MORE when under stress not LESS.

Making a partnership to be the eyes, ears, hands and feet of the Inteligent Universe to use to manifest intentions.
As opposed to letting the beast use my hands to drink.
One is letting go.
And one is giving up.
Grateful I am starting to learn the difference.

My cat's eye is healed! So thankful. It was swollen shut for a few days. Have no idea what was wrong, probably a bee sting. It looked so painful for her. I am happy she is feeling better :)
