Grateful that my friend called me yesterday and I volunteered to speak for her. It was a good thing for me seeing as I am coming up to my 27 year anniversary in 3 months, God Willing.

Grateful that I got my TV stations back in time to watch the French Open Tennis Tournament.

Grateful for those who travel this recovery road with me.

Grateful for a day of sobriety, so far i haven't lost it. just a little frustration with my computer, so i am going to leave all my i's small and not fight with them to grow up. it slows me down when i have to press down with my right hand instead of my left shift key.

Grateful that i got to my chiropractor's appointment today.

On top of another morning alive I’m able to enjoy it with a fresh cup of coffee.

:281:

Welcome Akron Alkee, love your name. Thanks for sharing, I hope you will continue to come and share your journey with us.

I was an Akron Alkee for two days about 40 years ago. I went with my ex-husband, my mother-in-law and two of his sisters to his cousins wedding in Akron, Ohio. At the time, I didn't know about AA. I was so hung over the next day after the reception, which I don't remember (this is a truth the alkee self would not admit to, I never had a black out), and I was too sick to help with the drive home. Thanks for the memory.
