I am a newly grateful recovering alcoholic who is grateful for:
Not having a hangover ten mornings in a row
God gave me the desire to go back to AA
I have a wonderful Christian sponsor (her faith is important to me)
I still have a job, even if I resent a few coworkers
My husband supports me and still wants to be with me
My emotions have felt better the past couple of days
I feel a bit of HOPE now
