- all the big and little things that help keep this addict/alcoholic sober

- so many meetings to choose from in my area

- my Higher Power as I don't understand Him

- faith

- prayer

- hope

- peace. I don't always have it, but I am grateful for it when I do!

- a loving relationship with my boyfriend. Scares the sh** outta me, but that's understandable, and I shall keep on moving through the fear, with God by my side.

- Old Navy flip flops. 2 for 5 bucks! I have many different ones, and it tickles me pink.

- this gift card for a shoe store that my sister gave me for graduation, so I can buy some nice job interview shoes. Lord knows I needed em.

- the awesome thunderstorms yesterday

- summer! and all that entails

- my bed

- yummy smelling candles

- chapstick

- sunblock

- bottled water. Otherwise I would only drink pop and coffee all day long. I need it to go.Don't worry, I recycle all the bottles afterwards.

- I know that I am exactly where I need to be on this journey today

- clean laundry. God bless my loving boyfriend who has a washer and dryer at home.

- this recovery site, and the friendships I have made because of it

- these funny little icons. they make me smile

- solutions

- not being where I used to be, not being where I'm gonna be, but being right where I need to be, just for today.

- a working shower

- electricity and running water
