Good things I have done while sober..

The whole dishwasher bit brought back memories.

Have you ever had to do dishes that were piled a mile high and been soaking for more than a few days. Talk about a god awful stench! Whew.

I'm glad I no longer have to live like a pig.

I'm glad I take a shower daily.

I'm glad I brush my teeth more than once a week.

I'm glad I have a good razor to shave with and that I shave regularly.

I'm glad my socks don't get more than a day old.

I'm glad I don't sleep in a car and have cops wake me up.

I'm glad I can answer the phone today!

I'm glad I can go to church and not feel like God is telling me what an ass I am!

I'm glad I have contacts to wear and I"m not blind anymore!

I'm glad I don't drive without a license anymore.

And last of all I'm glad to have a clear conscience when I go to bed at night!

I think the greatest thing for me so far is to be able to come to God in prayer and not feel so guilty and shameful. I can really talk to Him instead of giving Him a "sin list" every night and say "I'm sorry for drinking AGAIN!" It's so refreshing!

I'm still getting used to the no-hangover thing. It's strange to wake up feeling hungry instead of sick! Don't have the clear-headed feeling yet, but I'm getting there. I have a clear conscience though.

"And last of all I'm glad to have a clear conscience when I go to bed at night!" Yo Justin, you said it! And along with that, I gotta I gotta say that it's great waking up with a clear head and a clear conscience in the morning. (Along with a good appetite, as HDoggie said!)

Well the big ones, I don't lie, cheat and steel anymore. For drugs and Alcohol, just goes with the territory of being a drunk, I thunk. I sure know when I was young, I did not have a goal of becoming a drunk, but all those ideals went into the toilet.

So glad I have some real solid goals today, only within the guidelines of His Will, not mine be done.

Once I heard a man in a meeting say, after getting Sober, he did not lie, cheat or steel as much as he used to. Got a big laugh from us, and then we all slowly moved away from him, inch by inch.

Good Sunday to all,

Toni

I've learned what love is...and to be able to give from the heart to others..asking for nothing in return...

I've learned to feel...
