I am grateful for my son Storm cuz last week oct 8th i was 13 yrs clean from all narcotics but oct 13th tues was the hardest day to stay clean in those last 12 yrs since that first yr ! fuck if not for Storm and knowing what his life would be like if i used and died then i coulda very well fucked up ! I'm smart enough to know what to do when in trouble reaching out, talking to other friends with long time clean time, i hadn't been to meetin since before my son born so like 9 yrs - cuz work 6 plus days a wk, single mom, competitor etc... but know i had to go on tues so i went was good and took my multiple yr key fob ! and they asked me to share ! 1/2 way thru day i said to another addict / good friend - ya know if i didn't have Storm (my son) it would be like fuck the dope just give me a fucking gun i'm gonna blow my fucking head off ! it was a hard hard day, but i made it thru and I thank God for the people in my life: friends, clients, my beloved coach Dave Palumbo who emailed me several times that day and said i always had a his shoulder to lean on ! and thank God for NA cuz thatz how i got clean and thatz how i stay clean.. the tools in this program i have to thank for my 13 yrs clean, and going to that meeting which was primarily new comers showed me just how far i've come ! just always have to play out the tape, remember 1 is too many and 1000 never enough, and remember your tools, to not isolate, reach out, go to meetings and above all just don't use ! I'm grateful for so many things in my life, my son, my higher power, lots of friends who love & respect me, & clients too, a job i've had for 10 yrs, my family, my condo, my little VW, my pets, my health, my happiness, my country, MY LIFE ! and its all because i got clean and stayed clean thru using the program of NA !

I am incredibly grateful for having some of the most amazing friends ever. ones that laugh with me, let me get them drunk, ones that indulge me in letting me try on tiaras because it makes me happy, ones that will spend the day in Sea World just so I can see my favorite animal and understand my obsession with shopping and chocolate and of course when they let me cry when they know I need to...thank you all. you know you mean the world to me

Got an email from a fan on facebook who commented on my powerful words each time I posted so I opended up my heart and spilled my guts...this is what he asked :.

Tell me what has gone on in your life to make you want to grab life by the throat and squeeze every great moment.

my reply: Well... when you come for having everything, the family, the hubby, the white picket fence to digging yourself out of the grave of divorce, deception, grief and addiction you learn to FEEL grateful to be alive and so so happy to still be able to smell the roses and be clean and free...from all past bumps in the road.... there is a highway of ROCKING FUN ahead and im glad to be going down that road! yeah baby!

Words I live by: >>>> “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore, dream, discover.” By Mark Twain

**Alex England** · 02-19-2010, 12:10 AM

I'm grateful I'm still sober, still in Cali, and just landed my first screenwriting job after 5 years of busting my ass. Oh, and hello everybody, longtime no see

**DUKE56** · 08-09-2010, 04:58 PM

This may sound hokie, but that's ok. I'm grateful just to wake up every morning beside my wife of 36 years. Yeah we have our fights, but don't we all ? I'm grateful for my 3 kids and 6 grandkids + the one extra that i consider a grandson. Even though his mom won't allow me or my wife to see him i still consider him my grandson. Also i'm grateful my son is home from iraq for midtour. He'll be coming by sometime to visit for 2 or 3 days, then back to iraq. I guess i got so much to be grateful for i don't really have room on this string.
