Grateful that it's Friday. It's been a great week but I need to step away from work for a couple days.

Grateful to see Venus and Sober Jennie and others!

Grateful the dog lady can walk my dog on the day of my Dad's surgery next week.

Grateful I made plans to see my Dad tomorrow and grateful I have plans with other family on Sunday. I am really working on keeping social plans even though everything in me screams Noooooo. Lol. I am working on reminding myself that whether I"feel like" doing something or not has nothing to do with it. If I made a plan with good reasoning behind (such as to keep my relationships strong etc) then I need to stick with the plan.

Grateful to stick with sobriety's plan, from which all insights have grown. Grateful that plan doesn't depend on whether I "feel like it" or not.

Grateful to be looking at the rest of the eve sober. I had some strong words with my AV earlier. Grateful to be past it.

WARNING: Corniness ahead!

Thank you, God, for the rainbow I saw as I left my dad's after a trying afternoon, but a good meeting with the hospice nurse. It gave me hope.

And thank you for helping me realize when I am trying to control the people I think are trying to control my dad and reminding me to make amends promptly. Glad I am being more compassionate with THEM as well.

Grateful for a small package of goodies from my sister that came in the mail.

Grateful that I came home to a prepared meal! I can count on one hand how many times that has happened in 15 years.

Grateful for a nice walk and tea to end the work week.

1) Going to bed sober
2) That its Friday and I have my partner all weekend
3) Making an amends to my ex sponsor and mother for my behavior during my relapse
4) Making it to a meeting today
5) Knowing that even though today wasn't the best of days, I wont wake up sick and hungover or strung out tomorrow.

Grateful to know that even though I am an alcoholic, I don't have to live the rest of my life active in my addiction.

Grateful this extremely "taxing' work week is over

Grateful for the wonderful cool breeze blowing through my window

Grateful that I got through a long day doing what I had to do.

FLBeachGuy

Grateful for sunrises everyday to start my day and center myself and to follow thousands of years of people who sat on the beach watching the sunrise, astounded by the beauty, or seeing how the weather will be to take the wooden boats out to catch fish, or to just sit. Currently I live where the Ai Indians used to fish thousands of years ago on the beach. I think about them and the tribe to the north quite a lot when I am enjoying the natural habitat around this region.

I walk to watch the sunrise on the beach and understand that this could be my last day. I am grateful for this day to enjoy, to take in, to grow.

Also, am I ready to die? I thought my answer would be yes my first time asking what seems so long ago. It has been no every time.

If I do die today, how will I have died? With much inner peace. I can rest like that, it would be extra sad to go with unresolved inner conflicts.

Be Kind to Yourselves. Give yourself peace and compassion and healing.

Last night my wife and I went to an AA meeting, then went home and cooked a healthy dinner. Afterwards we went out for iced coffee, live music, and then book shopping. I'm so grateful we have each other.

You're welcome again, Pan!

Grateful I made it through another (even more) difficult day sober and without doing anything else I will need to make amends for. I guess my amends for yesterday were partially made by just staying away today.

And grateful I finished up the bike ride I "started" last week.

Alysheba

Grateful for some alone time, watching football and doing some needlework.

Grateful for my SR friends.

EternalQ

Grateful for my sister.

Grateful today I stuck to the plan of what I needed and had committed to do and didn't even ask myself if I "felt" like it. And in the end following the plan is what DID feel right! I feel relieved and proud that I followed it. I pray I can make this a habit.

Grateful taking charge of my life feels really good and not awful like I had been telling myself it would for so many years.

Grateful sobriety forces me to take more steps into maturity as long as I stay sober.
