A pretty long e mail from sis.
Paying some of my bills off.
Getting a much shorter haircut.

A friend showing me how to adjust my bike so it fits to me better.
A peaceful full day, with no work pressure or contact.
No bedtime anxiety about work tomorrow, I am off.
A firm resolve to stay in the moment, as best I can, through these days off.
That both : loss, and sobriety, have permanently changed my perception, and appreciation, of the gift that is my life.

Grateful that in 14 months time alcohol has gone from being the center of my life and the most powerful thing in it, to, having no part in my life whatsoever, and no power over me.
Grateful the last two months have taken me into beginning a LIFE. And that I never forget that it is ONLY possible because I am sober.
Grateful I still encourage newcomers (not only because its worthwhile and enjoyable), but because I know others encouragement of me made the difference. And, because it never lets me forget what it was like.
Grateful I never delude myself that my life with alcohol wasn't that bad. It was that bad, and it was worse.
Grateful I am still cleaning up and facing the messes I made, because the harder it is to turn my life around, the more I will do whatever it takes to stay out of that hole.
Grateful to finally walk down a different street.
