Grateful as always…

Today I am grateful for being upright, breathing, walking and talking.  I am also grateful to be sober and nicotine free!!! 

About Karen Teig

I am a 58 year old Native Minnesotan. I work as a Storekeeper at a local hospital here in town. I have been sober since April 18, 1982 and have not smoked since September 8, 2005. I am a Born Again Christian who loves Jesus and am grateful for each day I wake up. I have found that even in the hard times, like after my husband's suicide that I can still find things to be grateful for, even if they are little things. God always has my back.

  1. Hi Karen,
    I remember those phases of grief and the day the cloud lifted. Have you tried journaling – stream of consciousness writing – putting your thoughts on paper ( not worrying about punctuation, spelling etc.) ?
    It helped me release and work through the waves of emotion, fear and doubt that I fell after my loss.

    Better and better, Barry

  2. Hi Karen. Celebrate one day at a time and be proud of your accomplishments. It takes a strong person to do what you are doing.
