Im grateful today for so many things. Its so easy to get caught up in the things I lost, or the people I lost or, and to sit in self pity. When I dwell on my losses I forget how much Ive gained in my sobriety. Yes Im still pretty early in sobriety but I can see clearly the blessings in my life today. Im grateful to still have my health and my ability to go to the gym for a workout. I can still take a long walk or even run freely if I choose to. There was a time I wasnt sure Id make it to this age. I wasnt sure what condition Id be in if I did. Yes I still struggle with feelings of guilt from my actions while drinking and using. But I also know that only focusing on those things will lead me straight back to a bottle. I also believe its okay for me to be proud of my successes. At one point I felt I wasnt worthy of anything positive. Id done too much damage. Today I know its okay to feel good again and I deserve it.
