Simple things
 
Like eating a bagel with cream cheese & drinking milk while watching TV makes me soooo happy!

That dark merry go round of alcoholism is fading from my consciousness more and more each day that passes.

I try to remember the grimness of those old days as a reminder of how even a bad day today is good by comparison , something to be eternaly grateful for and usually puts me in a good mood .

Bestwishes, M

Yes the simple things are wonderful and it just keeps getting better

Just never completely forget the dark merry-go-round because a day will come when your addiction will try to convince you that you over reacted, one drink will not hurt, I can control it.

We do not need to live in the past just learn from it.

Hard to believe we thought we were enhancing our lives with that toxic venom. :)

It can sound trite, but it's true. If you take time to appreciate the small things, then you will get through the day with a smile.

Laughing til I cry (while sober!). I'd forgotten what that felt like. And in case you're wondering what caused it, just Google "Goats yelling like people." :)

I couldn't agree more. The other day I was playing with my youngest, and his laughter just got me tearing up, thinking it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. I would have lost that if I was half-bagged.

Nothing like food to elevate the body and spirit!

Have a great day!
