EVERY DAY THINGS...........
I'm feeling pretty blue today. I have too much time on my hands, & I get bored, & lazy. I hate that! So, every so often I have to stir things up, then am sorry I did. I really don't want chaos, or drama in my life today, but I create it from time to time, cuz I'm undisciplined. Sobriety is hard work, & I don't always want to do the work. Or, I don't want to go to the grocery store, I hate grocery shopping! The every day things get mundane sometimes, & I rebel. You know where that gets me. Nowhere, or in deep shit. Today is one of those days. I have errands to run, & I need to keep working on my 4th step. I'm also doing some work on childhood issues, the both of them get a little overwhelming sometimes. I guess now would be a good time to do a gratitude list. Ok, I am grateful for:My Higher Power
My sister
My sisters & brothers in recovery
Riley, my cat
AA
That I have a home
That I have transportation
My health
Thet I have choices, & I 'get to' today
That I'm even functioning today
That I am sober!
I have a garden
I have memories that make me rich today
That I have my computer
That I have entertainment
I have my books
That I have time on my hands, to do with, whatever I want, it's my choice
Hallaluja!!! I can mean that right here, right now
I feel better, I am blessed. I have recovery, one day at a time
Keep on keepin on!

Hey, Sharon! Good for you for taking some "off" time...remember, progress NOT perfection! We all hafta give a little love to ourselves where we used to kick our own butts ( I always fell flat on my face from doing that! LOL)

Love ya lots gurl friend!
Hopefully by now you're out of your blue, Sharon. Happy Friday to you.
Good G-d i hate grocery shopping, too. I am so with you there! A 4th Step can be hard to keep going through that's why I worked on mine OT until I got it done! Too bad I've been sitting on it for about 9 months now! UUgghh -- I need to do that 5th Step!!!!
Keep up the good work, girl!
Peace,
Scout
