I'm grateful to have resolved a serious financial problem today. I'm grateful to be home and peaceful--and staying here. And I'm really grateful for the grace of my recovery community. I relish the acceptance, forgiveness, and sensible advice that I receive at every step on SR.

Grateful my good friends are moving back in next door--where they belong, lol! It will be so good to have them back as neighbors.

Grateful I am reawakening and re-discovering interests I let slide while I was using. I am remembering why I studied herbal medicine and wanting to learn and spend time with plants/nature again. This feels like a vital part of myself that I let wither and atrophy....I am so glad and grateful that this was just waiting for me to wake up and come back.

Grateful for realizing how big addiction really is today. That it is truly hooked into the core of my being, how I believe and am in the world. Yes, it is very painful knowledge but without it it would be that much easier to slide right back into using.

Grateful for you all here at SR!

Buenos noches!

Grateful to cut out the pockets of a pair of jeans that I have hanging in my closet that I can see every morning. It reminds me that I come into this world with nothing and I leave this world with nothing.

Grateful for the large map of the world I have on my wall. It reminds me I'm just one tiny spec of the universe.

Grateful for the Mommy robin redbreast who built a nest in my backyard floodlight. She is sitting on it night and day and is guarding it fiercely.
Grateful for Mommies.

Grateful for the birds nesting in my wren house...even if they are chickadees. teehee.

And grateful I made it through a busy and, at times, trying day without misbehaving or trying to take control.

L&H,

Grateful to be able to think straight--not stressing about just everything. Particularly grateful for a brief stop at a consignment furniture store. Pointless, but the kind of thing I would never have done hungover. Grateful for the light realization that I could go--antiquing, walking, reading, all because I'm not drinking.

Thank you SR.
