Why I feel good!
Permalink  
 

Things to be grateful for:


 


I can remember what I did yesterday!


I'm not in a room with one door and a lock that I don't have a key to!


I make it to work on time everyday and I'm not in jeopardy of getting fired!


My family actually likes having me around!


Haven't worn those silver bracelets recently!


I can actually answer the phone without any fear!


No more foxhole prayers!


My pets don't run from me!


People actually like me!


I can be comfortable being myself today!


My computer works and I have internet!


I can tell bill colectors to f*** off today!


Don't know where that one came from!


I can be a friend to others without expectations of getting something out of them!


I have a faith in a Higher Power who I pray to daily!


Are these extravagant gratitudes? I think not!


Feel free to add to the list and have a great night/day!

Yay!!! I LOVE gratitude lists!!


Thanks Justin!!


My additions:


I have a wonderful sponsee.


I have a wonderful peace and serenity.


I am never angry anymore for longer than it takes to inventory it.


I do not have the urge to drink or use drugs hardly EVER any more.


My basement is dry tonight.


My home is clean tonight, because I wasn't out drinking/drugging.


There has never been alcohol/drug consumption in my current house for as long as we've lived here. (It is my sanctuary!!)


I have a nice hot bath running, because I know how to treat myself, today!!


My tummy no longer hurts, for the moment.


I get to chat with other recovering people like all of you, whenever I like!!


God is GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!!


I enjoyed 17 months of continuous sobriety on July 1st.


I am gratefully working on another 4th Step tonight... because I know how good it feels for me to do!!!!!!!!!

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
