Topic: Attitude of Gratitude
1. God loves me no matter what is wrong with me, physically or psychologically.
2. My kids and grandkids love me, something that I totally do not deserve and yet I rejoice in it.
3. Colleen posted the cutest pics of Lincoln on Facebook, and I shared them on my pages. They are his 9 month portraits.
4. God gave me gifts and talents that I enjoy using to glorify Him, and bless people with.
5. I have a crazy dog that gives me unconditional love, and exercise company daily, multiple times a day.
6. I have friends who love me, who call and e-mail me regularly.
7. I have professional help in dealing with my physical and psychological problems, as well as prescriptions that help stablize me.
8. I have over four months of sobriety, and I am active in AA, and I cherish my sobriety because it is so closely linked to my sanity.
9. I am stable with my bipolar disorder, and my meds are helping me with that one day at a time.
10. My diet is almost under control. I confess an addiction to sugar cookies that I bake myself, but other than that it is stable.
11. I am loving my time sewing things for Izzy, and gifts for others.
12. I had a wonderful Mothers Day with my son taking me to a Phillies game, and my other two calling me with greetings.
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

05/19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"When I was driven to my knees by alcohol, I was made ready to ask for the gift of faith," wrote AA co-founder Bill W. "And all was changed. Never again, my pains and problems notwithstanding, would I experience my former desolation. I saw universe to be lighted by God's love; I was alone no more." AM I CONVINCED THAT MY NEW LIFE IS REAL AND THAT IT WILL LAST SO LONG AS I CONTINUE DOING WHAT THE PROGRAM AND TWELVE STEPS SUGGEST THAT I DO?
TODAY I PRAY
May God be the ever-present third party in my relationships with others, whether they are casual or involve a deep emotional commitment. May I be aware that if there is real friendship or love between human beings, God's spirit is always present. May I feel His spirit in all my human relationships.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is the Divine Third.

Congrats!
I love / hate my alcohol. I can't imagine kicking the habit.

Topic: RE: Four Months Sober Today
Ramon,
I truly empathize. I have been on the relapse ride from December 2007, and started outpatient alcohol treatment in October 2008, and was doing that till September. I went back in to outpatient treatment in November when I began to relapse after five months sober. Then, in January, I crashed and burned after being prescribed Vicodin and abusing it. First was the psych unit, then the inpatient rehab. Have you ever done inpatient treatment? I believe that was a turning point for me. It might be worth considering.
I hope you find release from the obsession to drink soon. I have been free from it since rehab. I surrendered while in there.
Hugs,
Trish

Topic: Attitude of Gratitude
Like Dawg/Ramon, I am developing an attitude of gratitude. When I focus on my blessings, my stress level is down, and my sobriety takes its rightful place at the top of my priority list.
Today, I am grateful for:
1. my health, I can walk, and I can talk. I have full use of my limbs.
2. my sobriety. I have over four months of sobriety.
3. my mental health today. Today is a good day.
4. my apartment, I love my little apartment.
5. my dog, his company brings joy to my life.
6. my kids and grandkids, whose love I do not deserve and I find great joy in all of them.

Topic: Four Months Sober Today
I am very grateful to share that today, May 15, I have four months sober in AA. I attribute this success to God, and AA. I know that the obsession to drink was lifted in rehab in January, and I am not at all tempted by alcohol. I am so grateful for all that is happening in my life.
