todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that all those feelings I had during my 30's and 40's (I got sober at age 49) turned out to be wrong.
I didn't have to die with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
that I've never attempted suicide. I have thought about it a few times, more on an intellectual basis. I've thought about how I might accomplish it, but have never been serious about actually doing it. I know many who have done so however.
that I have no big resentments, but there are a few things that I wish weren't the way they are.
for some common sense
You don't have the power to make life "fair,"
but you do have the power to make life joyful.

Glad you aren't suicidal or resentful. And that you are sober and a happy non-smoker.
I'm catching up on your blog this morning, and I can relate to your comments on perfectionism from yesterday.
There...I just made a typo & had to go back and correct it.
Yep, even when I am unfair, Or life seems unfair, JOY remains--somehow!
I'm glad that you are here, sober, and enjoying life. It is awesome.
Have a joyful day, DAAve!
I once told a Dr. in the ER my thoughts about attempting suicide. I spent the next three days coloring care bears and unicorns... I've been reading your blog for months but have never commented. Thanks for being a part of my sobriety dAAve.
I resent those who seem to have no resentments.
Glad you're here!
"word verification" spells "gallo"
that's kind of ironic right?
Always glad to hear that others contemplate suicide, I don't think that I would ever actually do it but I'm surprised how quickly my thoughts can take me there and it seems like a valid solution. It lurks around the corner from me and I will always stay close to meetings because I fear it's power.
