Grateful to remember how awful it felt to be completely at the mercy of alcohol. Awful doesn't begin to describe it.

Alcohol was my abductor and had convinced me I was trapped and couldn't break free.
Alcohol convinced me that if I tried to get free my friends and family and job would then learn about where I'd been and they'd all leave me.

Lies, lies, lies!
It was a nightmare that went on in my mind alone for years and I am grateful that I have never forgotten it! Even though others didn't see it and are not sure if I even had a problem, I know the truth.

Grateful what I remember of my private hell is enough to make me face whatever today brings my way, without alcohol.

Grateful that some important legal work that should have been done nearly 20 years ago, yup...20 years,...is finally getting done today. Huge relief to let go of this burden.

Grateful for the beautiful weather we are having.

Grateful that as I keep "letting go", sleep is becoming deeper and more restorative. Coincidence?? I think not...
