Grateful that I made it to 44.
I am sober.
All of my need are met.
I have made amends everywhere possible and am honestly not concerned any longer with the rest.
This year will be the most sober year of my life.
The most lucid year of my life.
The wisest.
I am grateful for this community as it gives a washed up old dude like myself purpose.
It gives purpose to my pain, physical and emotional.
Purpose to past mistakes.
I am grateful for the love and support of my family, friends and social circle.
For my trials whether many or few.
I am grateful to be of use wherever and whenever that may be. Always.
For a higher purpose far beyond that of my selfish and self serving nature.
I am grateful for the will to live regardless of how I may feel in the moment.
For the clarity and the mental fortitude to be able to maintain this.
I am grateful that I can't cause trouble like I used to nor do I care to.
That I don't crave toxicity.
That I have the wisdom to avoid those that do.
I am grateful for today and each day that follows. For the chance to show gratitude, make a difference and to continue to teach my kids what life is truly about.
