Day 8 check in.
1) Grateful that it's a statutory holiday tomorrow and I don't have to work.
Grateful that my cute little puppy is waiting at home for me right now.
Grateful that it's a slow day at work today.
Grateful that.
Ugh.
This is hard today.
Grateful that I survived the weekend sober.
Grateful that I have an underground heated parkade because it is FREEZING outside here in Alberta today.
2) God - uhmmmmmmmm please help me to stay sober today. Remove the obsession to drink & direct my attention to where you would have it be. Your will, not mine.
Also - if you could remove my raging b*tchiness and irrititability that would be wonderful too.
3) My post right now on SR. A meeting tonight.

I really can't think of 3 things I am grateful for because I am not happy at all. I have had great difficulty the last 3 years with finding meaningful employment because a DUI and bankruptcy on my record resulted in 3 job offers being rescinded.
I think hopelessness is what is getting at me. Such huge hole to dig out of after years of alcohol abuse.

5 things I am grateful for:
*This dougnut shop by my work site.. oh man these dougnuts.. Sooo good.
*Warm sweaters.
*My big comfy and soft bed which I sorely miss right now.
*Beautiful gardens that our loaded with flowers.
*The rain and oh how I miss it.
No prayers, just hope for another day.
What I am doing for my sobriety in the next 24 hours:
As we already know, work and than sleep. No gym today.

Day 10 check in!!!!!!!!
Oops I missed Day 9. :| A new thing to beat myself up for. Yay.
1) Grateful for my parents. I went over there for a great dinner last night. They were warm and welcoming and loving, as always.
I am redecorating right now and it is SO MUCH FUN! Grateful that I have a bank account and the means which allow me to indulge in such pleasures.
Grateful for the women's meeting which I am going to attend tonight. I'm looking forward to it.
Grateful that I am alive, and have another chance at this sober life.
Grateful that I am not sick, hungover, or remorseful about recent events.
2) God. Please help me to stay sober today. Guide me in my recovery. Show me how to live. Thy will, not mine be done.
3) Posting on SR right now. Going to a women's meeting tonight!

today for me 1. I'm grateful that I was not drinking over the weekend and able to take care of something important - harvest a deer and do all the necessary things that go with it instead of getting drunk "celebrating" the harvest. That I didn't have any bad meat today (goes back to saturday). That my wife appreciates me. I have the motivation to do something instead of drinking and putting it off. I have a great attitude toward the future.
2. I thanked the animal spirits for my deer as I package it.
3. I log onto SR to remind myself how fortunate I am to be sober today.

Day 11 check in!!!!!!!!
1) Grateful that my work "volun-TOLD" me to head up this charitable campaign in our office, which officially started today. I feel good about what I'm doing - even though i totally did NOT want to participate in the beginning.
Grateful for the honest conversation that I had with my fiance today about our relationship. I feel better, even though I haven't found a solution to any of the issues yet.
Grateful to be 11 days sober today.
Grateful that I'm getting my hair done this afternoon
Looking forward to it.
2) God. Please remove my obsessive and depressive thoughts. I'm really struggling and I need your help. Please direct my attention to where you would have it be. Help me to stay sober and on this path of recovery. I'm asking for your care, guidance and direction. Your will, not mine.
3) Posting on SR right now. Likely won't make a meeting tonight due to hair appointment, but if I have time I will do that as well.

Jump back on Mrrryah. I go faith in you!! You CAN do this! Every single moment is a moment available to turn it all around.
What can you do different this time? What keeps making you relapse? What is the thought, thing, emotion ANYTHING that you feel makes you pick up?
