Grateful for a day of sobriety. Sobriety according to my NA sponsor and spiritual advisor when I came into recovery, means soundness of mind. I try for that each day. Which means I have to work on my emotional sobriety daily.
Grateful that I didn't have to pick up today. A grateful alcoholic doesn't have a reason to pick up. I didn't go looking or a rhyme or reason, or any kind of excuse.
Grateful that I made it to my AA meeting on Thursday and my NA meeting on Friiday. Don't always get to do that. Last week I missed both Al-Anon and NA, this week just my Al-Anon meeting. Not sure two meetings are enough, I have made arrangements to go to a NA meeting next Tuesday.
Grateful for when enough is enough. Most times I feel that way because of all the posting I do on line. Sometimes I need that extra, and that is OK. It is one day at a time.
Grateful for the food I have to eat. Haven't done any cooking this week, so I am grateful to my son who cooked two of the meals.
Grateful for my son's help although I didn't appreciate his comment today. He says, "Why worry when you don't eat much any way?"
Grateful to my Higher Power, who has made His presence known each day. It is important for me to remember to say thank you, when I see and feel those little things.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. I can try a little harder to do things right. Like today, there were times I was a bad girl, not always in action but in thought too.
Grateful that when I write these post, it keeps me honest.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.
