Grateful for my new life and new beginning
I have been sober for 75 days and have not been to a meeting. I have consumed myself with readings on sobriety.. and positive books as well as a heavy workout and eating amazingly healthy that keep me strong and sober along with a network of an amazing family! however I know success is not possible without a strong network of people that believe in you so my goal today is to get to a meeting today!
I do my best to stay positive but some feelings resurface when I least expect it! and my first thought on how to deal with it is drink and say (cuss word... you!) and "run away" instead of showing my anger or resentment.These feelings weather they are good feelings are bad feelings feels like I am on a bit of a roller coaster.. I am thankful to get through these with taking time to breathe.. see what the real problem is and deal with it the best way I know how without turning to alcohol. For that I am grateful! I am grateful to be sober today! I am grateful I can Feel and deal with things today..I am grateful for hitting bottom and finding my way.. I am grateful to be alive..It brings me another day of this amazing gift!

I got to my meeting this morning
It was amazing.. In the park in la Quinta, outside.. Great group of people.. Accepted my 60 day chip.. First meeting since I got sober 76 days ago.. About time the lady said when I got my chip. Made me kinda laugh.. Because as an alcoholic I know that we are stubborn by Nature or do not feel like we need others..and can do it on our own.. We are "control" driven. My life was unmanageable.. And so grateful I found my way back home to AA. Very happy to be back after a four year relapse.:ghug3
