    This morning I am grateful for the increased honesty I am able to have in my life, both with myself and with other people. I TRIED to be honest before, but in my heart of hearts, at least some of the time I knew I was presenting a facade, not the real me. FFP

          this morning I am grateful that I live in a country where I am free to vote as I choose...and that I am now free of the compulsion to have a daily drink. I never thought an unwanted CT scan would lead to such a wonderful result! FFp

            Today I am very grateful to be sober, and fully present to live in whatever the day brings. This is true freedom. I was not truly free when I lived in bondage to AL, despite existing in America.

              Today I am grateful for the constant nuggets of gold which MWO members post on this website every day...yesterday Kuya mentioned "...writing this down makes it REAL for your brain and gets it into acceptance..." And today the many kind replies to a post concerning heavy-duty cravings ALL contained bits of true wisdom. thanks, guys! FFP

                I am grateful for the creative gift of writing and how some writers can weave honest and brutal stories about addiction. Please go see the movie "Flight" starring Denzel Washington. It is so painful to watch Denzel's chracacter who is addicted to alcohol and uses cocaine for the high to pull him from the alcohol low that happens, yet beautiful at the same time as we who come here can all relate to that internal struggle...of "should I drink this or should I just say no?" Fabulous ending...you'll love his "signature" statement.

                God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Author unknown, :thumbs:

                  Last night I took two little boys to a pizza restaurant which is also an indoor mini-carnival, filled with horrible noises, bumper car rides, arcade games, etc etc, and endured the entire three hours while drinking Sprite...the boys had a wonderful time, and I never would have been able to give them that gift if MWO hadn't helped me to quit my daily martinis... I am grateful for this freedom. FFP

                    Chuckie's, FF? :H Aptly named after the horror movie, methinks. :H Good job on staying sane and calm. I find the more I've gotten out of the habit of daily drinking, the less I think of it in times of stress.

                        Hi, LG and Paulywogg!

                        Actually the place is called Incredible Pizza, and it is similar to Chuckie Cheese's, which is fun for Evan too, he says!
                        And, yes, the total clincher is being able to drive there and back, even after dark...I still prefer NOT to drive after dark, but AF at least I am not terrified! FFP
