Chilly, sunny, Sunday morning. I woke up to the smell of coffee brewing and bacon frying. I got on my knees and prayed for the willingness to be willing. Thy will be done, not mine.
Today I am grateful:
To wake up sober, and not hung over, for the 2197th consecutive day, one day at a time.
A warm house, soft bed, food cooking, snuggly kitty and clean flannel sheets..
My family, hubby, doggy, kitties.
Friends happy to see me last night
That I was wrong when I said I no longer have a support group
That feeling of uselessness and self pity slipping away
My new sponsor that I got hear speak last night
My nursing school friends
A fun day of shopping with my hubby today after breakfast
Blogger friends that always meet me right where I am, unconditionally
The privledge of being able to attend two AA meetings tonight, to thank the members there for being such an instrumental part in my sobriety.

I love this. I asked a friend today how he was doing and he said, "Recovering from last night." He asked how I was and I said, "Happy that I will hopefully never again have to "recover from last night".Isn't sobriety a wonderful thing???
I find sober anniversaries vary from year to year. I'm so proud of your accomplishments at school and I too believe you are where you are supposed to be!

Patty I really don't know you except for your picture of dirty dishes on Google, and now two of your blog postings that I've read so far. But we have something in common and it's really telling me "Hannah you have to keep trying. You're not alone. Other people deal with being imperfect. Get back in the game!!" It's so hard admitting this to oneself, and even worse to see it written out in front of me like this. But like a person with a terrible illness - they can't be healed until they acknowledge something is wrong. This is a real blessing today, finding your blog. I love the things that you are grateful for.. I had to smile at the thought of your husband making you breakfast, and going shopping with you. My dear man (married just over a month - I am 19) does the same with me. I love that thing in common between us. Anyway Patty, you have a wonderful evening. I will be coming back here often! :)
