Gratitude List

1.) I am grateful for being able to ask for help and express my feelings
2.) I am grateful for being able to be honest, and open with those I trust
3.) I am grateful for being able to shut the door on past resentments over people, places and things which I am powerless over in the past
4.) I am grateful for being able to make living amends of staying away from those I hurt
5.) I am grateful for being able to love myself

Yesterday I had a wonderful session with my therapist, I also went to the 7am meeting at the Alano Club this morning. I discussed and will start seeing a therapist whom I know from AA, given my photographic memory and keen attention to detail and good social engineering skills.

This person works with individuals whom are 12-steped and have issues. Some of my present sr=tgugels are starting over in life, letting go of some resentments. IT would probably be helpful to have another theorist whom understands my issues.

In two weeks Ill have the California DMV DL-328 form, Earlier this week I sent in the social security document for my new name and gender. I also sent in the DMV FORM as well soon. I composed a few other things. Its foggy this morning in San Francisco wit 56 degrees and mostly cloudy at 8:43 am Pacific time

I also talked a bit to Luke from the Transgender Law Center whom reassure what I already knew that my struggles would get easier after I go through this. I have a doctor’s appointment in a few weeks for up in piedmont, I go up where all the armed robberies happen at night the Oakland shootings and takeover robberies in the north hills. The obscurity of it all.


I feel PMG, DLG, MLS,MCG while not exactly in my life I have less and less of a connection to, maybe I had to break free, maybe I needed a spiritual humility retreat though personal hell and agony, to have some gratitude. Maybe I needed to move on.

I also this week being productive took steps to get a CDL again, a class B which I can’t have a class A or hazmat for another 3 ½ years due to my misdemonier again. And Than I can go OTR pay off debit, make deals buy the big diesel long ged 4x4 pickup truck I always wanted and a nice 5th wheel rv, and get to travel to Houston, Dallas and other places or maybe a big rig to pull my camper

Some of the fifth wheels are a nice as motor homes, and I like the countryside, and being my own boss and freedom and impedance, given how personal truck and professional drivers like to customize their rigs to suit their personality, work, and individuality. I might even have a chip painted on it with my date but small enough to maintain anonymity, as well as pride flag, and a drawing of moronic for my LDS heritage and past, as well as a Texas flag, Louisiana flag, and California flag. Maybe even my web address with a lot of dimondplate and chrome.

I also like MUNI they pay for Transition related expenaces, and other things. I look forward toward the open road and highway in a freightliner, or kenworth or mack, or maybe a Volvo or international. In addition, given MUNI is part of the city and county of San Francisco you get good health and civil service benefits.

I might even drive other peoples trucks and just be part time, and go OTR during the week and get to haul freight on the weekends and use time off and leave time to go OTR for a few weeks, I love driving, or to go RVing given my dream is to have my home mobile, it’s good to have a dream and goal in life, Id even like to have a big dog like a Sheppard, or medium breed like a corgi to go traveling with me.

I talked to Nancy B in Houston, texas Yesterday who years ago became sober and went to meetings with one of her exs at the Marina Dock in the mid to late 1980s.

I also spoke to Ray Hill the morning a bit whom will be busy over the next few weeks.
He also told me recently a story of an inmate whom was greatful to go to Huntsville, whom wanted to be sober, I am greatful to have spent 45 days in the Harris County Jail, after various short stinches and stinches in the City of Houston Jail., various substations, and place.

I realized something I need more emotional and spiritual soberity, and less self centerness, and to work more on being humble and being quiet and being comforbtlaer alone in self.

I also found a good link on wiki pedia of 12-step groups and meetings some of which I also may explore and some I have in the past which I will [cut and paste start]

This is a list of twelve-step programs based on the set of guiding principles for recovery from addictive, compulsive, or other behavioral problems that was originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous.[1] The twelve-step method has been adapted widely by fellowships of people recovering from various addictions, compulsive behaviors, and mental health problems. Additionally, some programs have adapted the twelve-step approach in part.
