Daisy, I have some resentments too, though not specifically with my son. I actually have some with my husband for various things in the past, often involving our son. It’s complicated but things have improved a lot. I was not in AA but I do try to follow the twelve steps. I often think how difficult it would be to have a grown child with ongoing problems that never seem to go away and to not have any control as a parent. Serenity prayer and sick man prayer come to mind. I am so grateful for your strength and for everything you do for your g. children too.
Least and Aly, your Billie and Luke sound so great. Someday I would love to have a dog. I do love my cats (cogs )
Astro, that is certainly something to be grateful for to be able to look up recipes right on our phones

Grateful for a good relaxing g day
Grateful to watch Mrs. DoubtFire with family (for about the 10th time)
Grateful for a clean house
Grateful for Tara Brach meditations. I listened to one today called In the realm of hungry ghosts - about attachment and addiction. Recovery really is about the spirit.
Grateful to be going to bed sober

I love Mrs Doubtfire!! One of my favorite Robin Williams movies, along with Good Will Hunting.

Tonight I'm grateful that we had a person like Fred Rogers in our lives.

I remember my kids watching him.

Thank you Aly, I've been trying to get in bed earlier and do feel a little more rested.

Fearless I can totally understand your resentments with your husband, I have some with mine over my son and my g.son, different reasons to yours of course, but resentments all the same, some exacerbated because my husband isn't my sons father. Yes, the serenity prayer and the sick man prayer certainly have their uses, I use them a lot.

Grateful for another sober evening with no desire to drink alcohol.
Grateful the rain held off until tonight even though it is now lashing it down.
Grateful the other grandmother did the school pick up this afternoon and dropped my live in g.son to me, she is so kind.

Grateful to make it here after a few days and no one forgot me

Pondy, I could never forget you.

Tonight I'm grateful that Billie finally dropped a dog bomb on our walk just now. (I always clean up after her)

Fearless, Robin Williams won an Oscar for best supporting actor for Good Will Hunting. I have that movie and love it. Robin's portrayal of the therapist was just perfect. sigh...

Grateful for my friends here. I feel such a kinship with all of you. Friends are the family you choose.

Grateful to wake up tired but ready for the day. Grateful to smile as I read through everyone's posts.

Alysheba

Pondlady, I took some time off a long time ago and I remembered you were one of my friends. I've been back and sober ever since. I'm so sorry if I didn't verbalize that I missed you, but I always miss someone who doesn't make it for some reason. Pondy, I do think of you and you probably don't even remember me from back in my super newbie days!! But, I do remember you. You add love and a kind of stability. I hope you'll keep coming. All my love, Aly ♥♥♥
