1/1/23 gratitude list

•The realization that I’ve been doing these things long enough now that I need to add the year to both my nightly review and my gratitude lists.

•350 consecutive days of continuous sobriety.

•The 8 months since I last ate meat and the 5 months since I last consumed any nicotine.

•That I joined OrangeTheory Fitness 5 months, 88,618 calories, and 264.7 miles ago.

•Building the Brotherhood meeting this morning.

•That I was unable to imagine life either with alcohol or without it. I’m grateful I made it to that “jumping-off place.”

•My personal powerlessness which turned out to be firm bedrock upon which a happy and purposeful life has begun to be built.

•When I ask God for help and truly listen, I tend to find the answers I seek.

•The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

•Barkley’s floppy mouth noises.

God, thank you for my life.
