In January I'll have 30 years in recovery.
And one thing I never had a problem with is finding things to be grateful for.
For example, my youngest daughter is going to be 36 tomorrow. This is an anniversary I'd never have seen had I not gotten sober. And I know that it's just a birthday and what's the big deal? But the big deal to me is that I was able to get custody of her when she was about seven years old and raised her until she was 18 and decided to go into the army.
She served three years in the military, one of them in Afganistan. She worked as a chef while in the service. And when she was released she enrolled in Texas Culinary Academy and earned an associates degree. Later she moved to Arizona and earned a bachelor's degree in liberal Arts.
Today she's married to an actor on the Discovery Channel's Gold Rush series and is raising my five year old grandchild and spends a lot of time bodybuilding.
I'm proud of her accomplishments and she gives me a lot to be grateful for.
