Today I’m grateful for so many things, including:
•Phone calls with several dudes I hadn’t talked to before.
•Opportunity to see Keeton pick up six months today. He’s been a massive part of my sobriety, and it’s an honor to call him a friend.
•Opportunity to visit a rehab and take another man through the third step today.
•I had a lazy day yesterday and can give myself grace. I need to remember I just had surgery, and rest is an essential part of my recovery.
•All the noises Barkley makes fill my house and make it feel alive.
•The Banner Medical app making healthcare easy(ish).
•These last few days of cooler weather before it gets hot.
•Reminders of my powerlessness. My thoughts can get out of line quickly if my actions aren’t what they should be.
•I don’t use substances, and I work the program. As a result, my life gets better. It really is that simple.
•Awareness creates choice. I can observe and become aware of my destructive habits.
God, thank you for my life.
-Mike
