Grateful for another day of sobriety. The day is only half over, but I have 15 min. to go and I will have been up for 12 hours. Yeah me!!!
Grateful that I didn't lose it on the phone talking to my service provider even though I had to 55 min. for service the first call and thankfully only 15 min. for the next call.
Grateful that my friend called me yesterday and I volunteered to speak for her. It was a good thing for me seeing as I am coming up to my 27 year anniversary in 3 months, God Willing. It is important to look at where I am at and take my inventory, although I told them I am not here to do a 4th and 5th Step.
Grateful that I got my TV stations back in time to watch the French Open Tennis Tournament.
Grateful that I still fit into my top that matches my bell bottoms. The skinny me is gradually disappearing. I sure hope to see her again.
Grateful that I get a bit of prompting these days, because my memory is the pits.
Grateful that I am much better at identifying those words that come to mind and not discounting them.
Grateful for this program. it is still very much one day at a time, God Willing.
Grateful that I made it to the Holistic Center to get a treatment from Bill Marsh.
Grateful that he was able to release the energies that were causing me to be in major pain when I moved. I fell a week ago and the pain is all gone, I still have some stiffness, but that is normal thanks to the 6 kinds of arthritis that I have.
Grateful for those who travel this recovery road with me.

Grateful for a day of sobriety, so far i haven't lost it. just a little frustration with my computer, so i am going to leave all my i's small and not fight with them to grow up. it slows me down when i have to press down with my right hand instead of my left shift key.
Grateful that i was feeling grateful before i typed that.
Grateful that i finally found some gratitude. most days my head has been empty, totally blank or hurting, and it was hard to think through the pain.
Grateful that i got to my chiropractor's appointment today.
Grateful that i got the warm fuzzies when he told me, 'you have been living on the edge since i met you.' i was surprised, i figured he would see me as an old woman. i guess an old woman living on the edge.
Grateful that i have an apartment in a senior complex. Thinking i may have to move into assisted living soon if my arthritis keeps me from being mobile. just can't do what i use to do or do what i want to do.

[AkronAlchee]

On top of another morning alive I’m able to enjoy it with a fresh cup of coffee.

[MajestyJo]

Welcome Akron Alkee, love your name. Thanks for sharing, I hope you will continue to come and share your journey with us.

I was an Akron Alkee for two days about 40 years ago. I went with my ex-husband, my mother-in-law and two of his sisters to his cousins wedding in Akron, Ohio. At the time, I didn't know about AA. I was so hung over the next day after the reception, which I don't remember (this is a truth the alkee self would not admit to, I never had a black out), and I was too sick to help with the drive home. Thanks for the memory.
