    Re: Express your Gratitude

    I'm grateful for my busy life of retirement. I plan and schedule many activities, knowing these are my choices, not working for a paycheck. I enjoyed my professional work for nearly 40 years, but this is great, I'm grateful for this opportunity. And to think I could have easily ruined it with alcohol.

    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.

      Today I'm grateful that I saw this little critter when I did, it wouldn't have stood a chance under the air drill..

      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

        Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

        If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

              I am grateful for life and all the freedoms I am able to enjoy with it, which are countless. I am thankful to live in this country and these times.

                    I'm grateful for a day to swim in the pool. And let the dogs play in the yard.

                          I'm grateful I have support here. I grateful for an open minded GP, although my testing of a drug turned out badly (again). I am grateful I know what I did was a mistake and its curable. I am grateful I know how to get back to normal; though this really sucks atm. I am grateful I can forgive myself and move forward. I grateful for patience and the time it takes. I'm grateful I can still eat because previous lapses caused some physical hardship. I'm grateful to everyone giving me jobs and referrals despite me being afraid to do them without suffering withdrawals on site. I am grateful but fearful (kindling) of what might happen after a weekend bender + a day or two. I am grateful you are all here and the patience that some have had with PM's.

                            I genuinely am grateful for my ever changing emotions & feelings. They remind me I am very much alive x

                              Grateful for lots of things. But one thing that I am grateful for right now is the knowledge that thoughts pass and cravings pass and I can wait it out.
