    Life Is Beautiful!

    In chat last night we were talking about the things in life that we were grateful for now that we were not drinking (or were doing better). Not the big things such as getting my family back, but the little things that everyone else takes for granted. So, I thought I would start a thread as I had a little one of those this morning!

    I am grateful because I found a fresh bag of blueberries in the fridge this morning, meaning I could have fruit on my cereal.

    Used to be Saturday mornings meant either taking the edge off by taking a drink for last night's bottle, or waiting very impatiently for the liquor store to open at 11am so I could start drinking again. Now I am focused on my breakfast - what a change!

      Life Is Beautiful!

      On track with you, AA, I am grateful for looking forward to a saturday morning cappuccino at the cafe, waiting for my daughter to finish her morning art class... instead of staying in bed as long as I can to put off taking the first drink of the day. And did I ever enjoy it (the capuccino), too!
      Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

        My kids all love me, and I can make my grandchildren ROFL, with just with a silly mad grin.
        I have a chance to be as happy as they are.

          I'm grateful for being able to enjoy this beautiful Virginia morning through eyes that aren't blurred and with a head that's normal -- not pounding. Also grateful for being able to head out this morning for Thanksgiving at the beach with wife, children and grandchildren. Thanks for the thread AA and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

              Thanks for the thread AA. It is especially nice given that we are almost upon Thanksgiving, a time of thanks.

              I am grateful for being able to get up early this morning and get a four mile run in by 9:00 am. In my alcohol days (or should I say daze), I would have been on my first cup of coffee, wandering around the house feeling like shit.

              I am grateful that I finally feel like I am leading an honorable life for myself and for my children.

              Finally, I'm grateful for people like yourself who are so committed to being AF and to be happy doing it.

              Be well,
              Mo3

                  I am grateful that I saw our high school musical last night. I had pretty much stopped going out on Friday nights, just stayed home to drink. No more!
                  My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

                    I am grateful for my sobriety! Happy and content to go work a couple of hours, even though it is saturday, come home and fill the bird feeders, put out suet, play outside with my golden, in the snow. The bottoms of my pants are wet, my feet are cold, but I am happy. Thanks AA, good topic!

                        I am thankful for each and every day that I wake up feeling alive, ready to jump out of bed and see how much I can accomplish instead of "how will I get through the next 10 hours".

                        I am thankful that I have had, and am still having a wonderful Saturday.

                        I am thankful for the new containers of flowers that I planted this morning, that I have finished painting a room today and still have lots of energy left for a late afternoon jog!

                          I am thankful for the gift of music. And that i am now sharing that gift sober. I am also thankful for this site, and the special friend(s) i've made here.

                            I'm going to spoil it all by a D&M (for me at least) .... and that is... being true to myself.
                            Oh, and wathching the sunrise this morning.
