:H:goodjob::rays::band2:Just thought I'd ost a list of SOME of the reasons I am SOOOO grateful for being sober today.....

Please add to it for the benefit of all!

* Waking up, not "coming to"
* Loving my children and having them love me
* regaining respect and love for self, renewal of self-esteem
* Absolutley free of guilt and shame
* money!!
* Regular bowel movements !!!!!
* You guys and this site
* A good night's sleep
* food ( not just slobby pigouts before crashing out)
* REAL laughter
* opening the curtains with impunity (same with answering door and phone

Well, that is but a few - let's stack up the grats, guys!

*sailing down the stairs because of ice... not because I was drunk!

Well, no, maybe there's not too much gratitude in this case :H

Seriously though,

*no guilty concience
*so much more 'light hearted' for lack of a better word
*feel closer to my partner
*remember last night's dinner conversation

I am SO Grateful that I have not experienced any strong cravings since early September. I HATE drinking, even if not to excess, when I have other things I would much rather be doing.

Oh limers thank you........... I am not going to say I am cured, may never be. But I am sober and you can tell that cos I am not posting horrid things or abusing people in my life. Which drink makes me do. I am sure it is because I am just angry with myself. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY..........................
