I am grateful....

I am grateful....for being able to say sorry to my wife for a verbal fight we had this morning.

if I was drunk I would have never done it, not in a life time


I am grateful....that this morning at a cafe' bar I was able to take a tea not 4 pints of cheap beer

it was hard, maybe I should stay away from places, I' m still too weak


I am grateful for finding this forum, made new friends.

Though most probably I will never meat any of them I still wish them a lot of health and I promise to pray for each one on this forum as I pray for myself.

Today I am grateful for being able to sit for dinner with my family as a man not as a drunk hobbit looking down at the plate all the time, we chatted and laughed together finally like a real family.

I remember usually I would go to the table and don't say a word, I would eat and go in the bathroom to vomit. The next day I wouldn't even remember what was in the plate.

Today I am grateful for being able to do my work as a proper person not as a drunk.

and this makes me so proud, I might also think my colleges have seen some difference in the new me.

Today I am grateful for being back on this forum, writing in this thread with 10 wonderful sober days (well the 1st one wasn't really) at my back.

Today I am grateful for passing a day without withdrawals.
I know that this will not always happen but it happened today and for this I am grateful.

I am grateful for being able to do healthy walks and some minor weight training.
On drunk days I wouldn't even bother to get out of my house...wait I did get out of the house but only to buy beer.

Today I am grateful for my 17th consecutive sober day, life is very peaceful, I am able to smile and in some occasions make others smile.

In my drinking days I was dull, never happy and never bothered to make my family happy.

Today I'm grateful for finding a new sponsor.
It's something that's been on my mind for sometime and I feel very relieved and excited.

Today I am grateful for being able to do physical training like walks, jog and some minor weight lifting. It was beautiful doing a 15 min jog with my 6 year old girl.

When I'm under alcohol effect I'm always tired and have fatigue, don't care about doing anything for my health and the only important thing is that I have more booze left in the fridge.
