Here goes

I'm great full that I found a doctor willing to help me detox safely and comfortably - bearable at least!

Im glad I could cry this morning but pick myself back up with a hug from a friend and some help with my house work.

I'm glad I'm going into day 4 and I didnt listen to the other evil telling me how good being drunk would feel and how easy it would make my night.

I'm glad I admitted my problem to real genuine friends who although have no idea of addiction are willing to research and try and help me as best they can.

best wishes 13!

You did quite well being grateful.

Lol well I think being great full is a lot like being content with what you have - I've not had a fairy tale life - far be it but I'm alive and there's chances out there for me - I just have to allow myself to believe I'm worthy. I can talk all the talk but plans and words mean nothing if you don't act on them. I have to realise this - I have to follow through - persevere - I give up way too easily or I use someone else's disapproval as an excuse to give up - I'm still talking the talk right now but at least I'm going into day 4 sober

Hi 13! My first couple weeks of sobriety, I made myself take some time in the morning to list things I was grateful for. With feeling miserable with withdrawals, it was a tough assignment. As I began to feel better, I was able to sincerely list things. After a couple weeks, I could have listed them for hours. As you feel better, I believe your list will also grow. Good job on quitting.
