I'm really happy for you that she's getting better. Remy is so up and down and his symptoms seem to change daily. I empathize with you totally. We've been through a lot lately, eh?

Grateful I'm not freaking out over my mom's assisted living bill and trying to "make" my brother...do something different. Glad I know how to just put one foot in front of the other and keep doing that "next right thing." Fruits of the Program!

And grateful for the mixed blessing of Mr. Remy climbing up and nibbling and pawing on me last night. He hadn't had the strength to leave the floor in a while. Glad I didn't reflexively knock him down.

grateful for another sober friday night band1 rehearsal

Thanks so much, V! It's been a really hard day. I think Mr. Remy was better yesterday actually. Hope Venus is good today.

EQ, in Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous, we say our addiction is to that "illusion of control!"

Grateful for being the one to tell my sponsee to pray for/have compassion for a woman who used to annoy me, too. So cool to pass along my experience, especially since it was pretty much the exact same situation.

And grateful for the feeling that I/we CAN handle all the stuff that's going on. I don't even think of saying "I can't handle..." I just think, "I don't WANT to." Progress...

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful to have a night to myself for the first time in weeks. So overdue.
Grateful to snuggle on the couch with the dog and watch American Pickers. Grateful my sister has cable which is a little treat for me.
Grateful to cut myself a break and let go of some unrealistic expectations of myself.
Grateful I read this today: "Without expectations, you can't be disappointed. You can only be surprised!"

Grateful I get to be the waffle chef at church this morning.

Grateful that Venus (cat) is alright.

Grateful to remember the slogan HALT; Don't get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. I wasn't hungry or lonely Friday evening, but very tired and feeling grumpy.

And being that I knew I wasn't on the list to work on Sat at work, I allowed myself to fall asleep at 7:30 pm on Friday and woke up at 1:30 am Sat without any Ambien. Then fell asleep again at 3:30 am and wake up at 6:30 am.

Grateful to feel rested for the first time in awhile.

Grateful for a co-worker yesterday who I consider a friend being honest with me and telling me that I never smile and always look grumpy. And me thanking him for pointing that out and saying I've been told that before and realize I need to work on that. And then me saying that I wonder if all the drugs/alcohol from years ago did something to my facial expressions. We both got a laugh.
