Grateful I'm being responsible about allowing myself recovery time and not just being a no-show. Glad I'm finding a balance with cancelling things with ENOUGH notice, but not cancelling too far ahead. Who knows, I may actually be up for a hike by Saturday...
And grateful to enjoy my porch swing, beautiful sunny weather, and reading Oliver Sacks.
Love and hugs,

Grateful that I am working hard on house. Just stopped at 1230 am.
Grateful that I am able to have my sister here sleeping over. I haven't allowed anyone to sleep over since I became sober. Nor before for that matter. She asked and I said yes.
Grateful that I am trying not to fly off the handle with family who are too intrusive for me but are good intentioned. When I tell them to back off and trust me to handle things they sulk and think I am ungrateful.
Grateful to strike a balance.
Grateful to keep reminding myself that this period of time won't last forever.

Grateful for a long nap after days of little sleep.
Grateful for the technique of HALT. I was Hungry Angry and Tired. I napped. Now I am going to eat, so pretty soon I will just be Angry. Haha. But that is fading as I feel less out of control.
Grateful I am slowly learning healthier ways to cope.

Grateful for letting myself off the hook. I deserve the "break" my body has demanded by getting sick.
And grateful for not taking the prescribed amount of Nasonex, although I still used more than I had intended. It made me nuts yesterday.
L&H,

Grateful (and I can't believe I'm saying this) to come home to the peace & solitude of my own home. The cats don't try to tell me what to do (except to feed them) or make me play computer games I'm not interested in. Anybody need smelling salts?....
And grateful for the open windows with the breeze and smells of flowers blowing through. I let the clover grow up in the yard.
Love and hugs,
Eddie
