Morning Gratitude Part 33 - Page 27
Grateful to wake today feeling much better after a week of severe heartburn.
Grateful for the freedom to make the changes necessary to start de-stressing my life (relaxation, diet and exercise).
Grateful that alcohol is no longer my go-to stress reliever.
Grateful for another day sober.

REALLY REALLY REALLY grateful to be sober.
My alcoholism was well hidden and no one had a clue. Well, yesterday I had a work related emergency and I had to meet with my boss and a colleague within an half hour even though I was not on the clock and it was fairly late in the evening. OMG thinking that I could have been passed out or even worst reeked of booze while meeting them is horrifying.
Instead I was able to show up in a flash, sober and we were able to work things out. (it was nothing wrong I had done but I work in a field were things happen and I can be needed at very short notice).
I am so grateful I seeked recovery after that 3 weeks binge, I think my "secret" would have been outed the way I was going and who knows, I might even have started drinking at work and gotten fired.
I came back home, and thanked God for my sobriety and I really really meant it.

So, so grateful for the experience, strength and hope shared at the women's meeting I went to yesterday
Grateful that a left-field "surprise" (i.e. repressed) justified resentment has lost its weight after talking it through and then talking it through some more. The physiological response scared me; my head felt like it was going to explode, I couldn't breathe properly and I thought my heart was going to leap through my chest
Grateful that it's pain with a purpose, and that means progress!
Grateful that I now have the capacity and faith to trust I will be OK
Grateful for a fairly clear head (and to wake up sober!), because I need my wits about me at work today
Have a lovely one, gratties!
