60 Days Sober! Gratitude list

Today I am reflecting on 60 days ( in a row, no less) of abstinence from booze and use! I am truly grateful for the things that have come back into my life by being sober!

Here's a few;

Waking up without my first thoughts of who did I harm while intoxicated yesterday.

Grateful that my wife and kids smile again at me and the reflection of my daily despair I no longer see in their beautiful faces and eyes.

Early stages of truly beginning to understand who I am.

Grateful for starting to genuinely care about other people and engage in real conversations.

Experiencing grace in small things - making coffee for my wife, playing with my old yellow lab, catching fish in our small lake....

God's Grace!!

Living proof to those who would think it can't be done (if I can get to this short point, anyone can!)

AA and SR!

Wow 60 days! That is incredible! Congratulations, you must be so proud and I am sure you family is too. You need to celebrate with some fresh fish on the grill for dinner! or ice cream, Ice cream is always good!

Congrats on 60 days man!

61 for me, I feel the same gratitude. Sobriety has given me freedom and a new life. Here's to the next 60 and beyond!

Always cracks me up when old timer hands out chips and says......30/60/90 etc days. In a row...... Ha! Maybe at one point someone picked up a chip thinking they had 60 days in the last year.

Hmmmm, come to think of it I wouldn't have come close. Wonder If I hit even 10-12 all year???

Read your post regarding how you got here - wow, God saved you for a purpose. Sounds like at 90 days you are making it count. You are an inspiration to others = me!

Keep it up, together we can be Sober Alcoholics!!!
