I am a lousy blogger
I am a lousy blogger. I don't keep up enough to make it interesting or worth anyone's while to check in on me. But for those of you who do check, I'm here and I'm still sober. I'm losing count a bit, I think it's 78 days now. I am still feeling great. I do have to be careful of cravings still. Like when I passed an outdoor cafe on my way home from work on Friday. The white wine being served look so cool, crisp and elegant. Or even if I'm leafing through a Crate and Barrel catalogue, the bar ware can make me crave.
I've enjoyed reading some of the gratitude lists I see on the blogs I read, particulary JJ's and Scott's. I thought I might try to do something like that. Today, I am grateful for having pushed myself to get up at 6 AM and hop on my treadmill. I felt great afterwards. I'm also grateful for summer mornings and a pool to jump into after my workout to cool off. And I'm grateful for hot coffee in the garden while everyone is still sleeping.

A blog is for yourself, for your recovery, for YOU! But I do like your grateful list idea. Somedays I find it hard to be grateful for anything other than my recovery but that is pretty important. So blog when you feel like it and blog about what you want to blog about. But I certainly to appreciate you letting us know you are o.k.
Peace,

A Gratitude list is one of the items in my recovery tool box. It causes me to THINK. I cause me to remember the things I have instead of focusing on the things I want.
I totally endorse it for anyone in recovery with less than 50 continuous years of sobriety.
I voice my gratitude list every single night to God when I go to bed. I am very very grateful for everything I have and who I am!!
very grateful!!
very!!
Blogging isnt compulsory and you need to do it for yourself. So glad youre 'losing count', that must mean sobriety is becoming a natural part of your life?
Ahhhhh stop complaining and blog will ya........I miss you.
Peace,
JJ
