it happened AGAIN

I woke up this morning.

I felt a little exhausted and blue.

I journaled a bit.

I reminded myself of gratitude.

I gave thanks for sobriety.

I decided to live this rewarding, present, abundant, joyful sober life another day.

I took actions to support that choice.

I'm still sober now, and I will be at bedtime.

I can't believe it happened again!

So awesome.

(And that's how it works....)

Yes, FreeOwl. If you look at my recovery journal, it's a bunch of whining and psychobabble...but the effect of getting those thoughts out is that I feel better and move on for (most of) the rest of my day. Definitely a great system you have there.

Very good post. Yeah, that's how it's done, one day at a time.
