I thought I share my gratitude for today, here are my top 3:

1. My doctor, because she emailed me today to check up
2. My spouse because he fixed me lunch and is taking care of dinner tonight
3. My 18 year old, because she called me from her lunch break in Texas just to tell me that she loves me, but plans on beating me in the online game that we’re playing:laugh:

What are yours?

    My top three:

    1. My family and friends. Even though they may not fully understand what I am working through, they are trying to be supportive and not sabotage my efforts by pulling me back into my "old" ways.
    2. My employer, for allowing me flexibility in my workday as I make my way through some personal learning.
    3. My sponsor, for supporting and guiding me through the process as I work my way through the steps and integrate the program into my life.

    Today I am grateful for this program! Being abstinent through OA is leading me to better health. I checked my blood glucose level this morning and it read normal and this is without medication!!

    Wishing everyone a great, abstinent day!
