Day 124

Today I am grateful for:

waking up clean and sober
god who always gives me what I need and not always what I want
standing firm and letting the waves crash through me
lifting my face to the sun
and
Batman

Those in recovery are the most loving, supportive and generous people that I have ever had the honor to meet. Thank you, my friends.

Day 125

Thanks for stopping by, Tracy. Right back atcha!

Today I am grateful for:

another day clean and sober
taking care of myself
letting go of the future
the sun
and
greasy movie popcorn.

Wishing all my friends in recovery a safe and sober 24!

Today I am so grateful for my friends, my family, God, and the fine people in AA - I would not have made it to this day without them. Today is my One Year Sobriety Anniversary and I am so proud of myself. God has been by my side the entire time, guiding me to the right choices, and pulling me along during the rough spots. And for that I will always be grateful.

Day 126

((((Harpo)))) Congratulations on your one year. god pulls me over the rough spots, too.

Today I am grateful for:

waking up clean and sober
meetings
feeling emotions, even though I have a roller coaster in my heart and in my head
fast cars and loud music
and
that I am still standing

"oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive..."

--Sarah McLachlan, Possession

Reminding us all ('specially me) that there is hope.

Day 128

Today I am grateful for:

waking up clean and sober
that I'm still not in control
my bubble
that god speaks to me in the stillness
and
wide open roads

"This house is haunted
I just want to go for a ride
Yeah... Burn that gasoline
Burn that gasoline
" --Audioslave

Keep it safe and sober, friends.

Day 129

Today I am grateful for:

wakeing dreams
sunshine
clean cars
eleven year old girls
and
Clorox wipes

"With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
A denial.
.." --Nirvana

Day 130

Today I am grateful for:

a clean and sober day
time with my sponsor
not having to do everything today
feeling safe
and
faith that tomorrow will take care of itself

"You'll get no answer from me
About what I get or what I want
That was enough to make him leave
He's not the first one come and gone

And I don't care
Buyer beware
Of me
Cause it might get rough"
--Look Around, Blues Traveler

Sending prayers for another safe and sober 24.

Day 131

Today I am grateful for:

going to bed clean and sober
god
my dogs
iced mocha
and
working on my spiritual condition

Today I showed up and was open. Growth is hard, but every day is one day closer to the promises coming true as long as I continue to do the work. And that's pretty cool.

Day 134

Today I am grateful for:

staying clean and sober
recovery tools
those that have gone before me and are helping me along
not acting out on my wants, and still getting what I need
and
chips and vinegar

Sending prayers out to all who still suffer.

"Slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down.

But i'd trade it all
For just a little bit of
Piece of mind." --Tool
