We're just adding to the last number, so DePressMe left off at 302. The next one would start with 303.

303. Sobriety
304. Finally done moving.

We just want to see how high we can get with gratitude. So the next one is 305.

306. I discovered the Mayo clinic in Rochester (not far from where I live) has an 8 day inpatient rehab program for nicotine addiction. And while the prospect of rehab for smoking may seem silly to some, this may be exactly what it takes for me.

That would be cool Ray. Right now though I'm not sure I can go as I'm still waiting to hear whether or not my insurance will cover some of it (it costs five thousand dollars).

Maybe we could just rent out a ward of the hospital for PC members and they would give us a discount for quantity or maybe a 2 for one deal or something.

310. really good, hot, strong coffee.

Good thing I'm going to be so busy trying to prepare that I won't have time to be nervous.

319 - interviews with three of the jobs went reasonably ok i think, and I now I just have one more to get through tomorrow.

320. I made it through the stress of the interviews without wanting to drink.

321. 3 of my interviews have been at Starbucks so I've had lots of excuses to buy cinnamon dolce lattes.

325 I'm sober despite having urges to drink
326. I have two job interviews tomorrow, one's a second interview and the other's a third interview so I hope I'm getting close to an offer.
327. My friends are all saying that I'm sounding more confident.
328. My addictions dr. told me that I look and sound a lot better and more energetic than I did even four months ago.
329. Only one more month of blood monitoring to go and then hopefully the ministry of transportation will leave me alone for good.
330 Probably going to the Ontario Regional AA Conference this weekend.

331 I'm sober
332 I had a great time at the Ontario regional conference
333. A couple of women asked me to hang out with them all day Sat. at the conference which is proof that I am likeable (sometimes I have trouble believing that.)
334. I have a fourth interview for a job this Thurs. and the recruiter says that they're close to making me an offer. Now I'm really nervous about actually doing the job.
335 I had a really fun time going out for dinner with people Sat. night. I ate way to much and it was all super yummy and it's probably the first really proper meal I've eaten in months.

350. I'm grateful that my poor example behaviorally of what the reality of addiction is helped my children gain an understanding that *It isn't cool to be a stoner and a lush*.
