I'm always grateful for another day that GOD allows me so I can praise him for showing me this great big wonderful journey though I'm disappointed I didn't see this earlier in my life
I'm also very grateful for crossing paths with who turned out to be my soulmate & our 15 year old daughter, I'll never forget the day I met her, it was the day she was born and I got to hold her in my arms
I'm grateful for finding Sobriety & with help from everyone here along with my family, I have a pretty good chance of staying sober, but the way I see it, the only person who will know if I kept my Sobriety is going to be the one who has me cremated
I'm grateful for finally coming to terms with my illness and admitting to myself that I truly was an alcoholic, accepting that ( that was the hardest thing I've ever done) but after acceptance came commitment & thankfully for the VAMC I've been going through therapy & understanding CBT cognitive behavior & ACT acceptance & commitment. I'm developing coping skills, learning my triggers & I'm pretty proud of the relapse safety plan I designed for myself, but I'm not being very humble am I, please believe that I'm humble. My Therapist is showing me ways to become my Authentic Self & I'm enjoying the path it's leading me down, I never compare myself to others, all I'm concerned about is if I've grown better than I was the day before
Love Y'all
Thanks for letting me talk
