I'm grateful for my sobriety.
*for the support of my boyfriend
*for my dog who loves me unconditionally
*for my new home that's close to the dog park
*for getting fit as it is a very important part of my recovery.

I am grateful to have celebrated 1 year at my job as of a couple of days ago. It means more to me than my 10 year at my previous job. I'm grateful more is being revealed to me and that I can accept God's time instead of kicking and screaming for mine. I am grateful for natural sleep and the hope I see in a newcomer's eyes after a lightbulb goes off.

Grateful to be able to help my son in laws family. His Uncle, who I may have mentioned , went to the ER a few weeks ago with shoulder pain. He ended up in surgery with esophageal bleeding. (Pancreatitis causes this.) Then he was transferred to a hepatitic center as he went on a liver transplant list. Got cellulites and more internal bleeding but his liver couldnt handles medicine. He died yesterday.

This was a man who the day before the ER was working full-time successfully. Known to be a big drinker all his life. This is what we call a "high functioning alcoholic", the kind no one worries about. I was one of those. He is near my age in his fifties. I am so sad for everyone. Theyre in shock at what alcohol can do. That it kills you.

Grateful i can reach out to them and also help babysit for the funeral, etc. Grateful I could tell someone this. Thank you.

Grateful for sober mornings.....prepared for work, not scrambling to get my act together with a sick stomach and raging hangover.
Grateful that my mornings are filled with gratitude, breakfast, exercise and maybe a quick puzzle game before work...
And very grateful i can look in the mirror without cringing.

Grateful that even though I'm feeling poorly this a.m.....with symptoms similar to a hangover.....it is definitely NOT a hangover. ( funny how a touch of possible food poisoning is preferable over a hangover these days ).
