That is my choice and with the help of my God, we get through a day without using people, places and things in today.

Grateful that I don't abuse my medication. The new medication eases the pain, but don"t like all the sleeping, and the side affects are taking me to a place where I am thinking of going back to the pain, instead of not feeling like I am me. It has taken me to a place where I don't feel like I have sobriety, so God and I are working on it.
Grateful that I was able to get to the store today.
Grateful I connect with a couple of friends.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. What I didn't get done today, there is hope for a better tomorrow. When it gets here, it is today.

Grateful for a new day.

Grateful for a new dawn, the sun has yet to make an appearance, but the glow is on the horizon.
Grateful for the thought of going downtown AFTER the women's final at the French Open Tennis Tournament.
Grateful that small things can still make my heart go pitter patter.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. We can do what I can't do alone.

Grateful that I can post tonight, I have had a very tiring day, but a good kind of tired.
