Express your Gratitude

[abcowboy]

I'm grateful for good doctors and therapists. They are really a blessing and truly not to be taken for granted.

Amen to that [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]!

I am SO GRATEFUL I do not have to resort to alcohol to see me through this ..... very grateful.
Inner strength will see me right - God : Source : Universe - whatever you choose to call it is in us all and i will survive.
Who said : "this too will pass" ?

I've been following your situation with your posts in the Army thread [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] and I really do feel for you, damned if you do and damned if you don't. If I had something encouraging to say, I'd say it. But to be honest, I have no idea what I'd do if I was in your situation. I think your post summed it up best, you are doing whatever is right for you in that moment, that's all we can hope for...

I am grateful for you all. If it wasn't for MWO I would have a 12 pack of beer with me and some shots. Lost my 3rd cat in a year tonight. Its hard esp. since he was so young. He was only 1 but he had heart failure due to a heart condition that we did not know about and he threw a clot that left his rear end paralyzed.

That's what this place and all these people are here for [MENTION=9396]DriftyAlison0[/MENTION], to help us through the rough spots. Lean on all of us when the going gets tough, but also believe in yourself...


I'm grateful for my continued sobriety...

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful to have had you all help me through one of the worst nights of my life. I made it through sober. Now to concentrate on making through today sober. So far no urges or cravings but that may change later. When and if it does I will not be drinking.

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful that you got thru last night sober too, Alison. I know it was a struggle for you, so well done!

Well, [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], I believe I was the one who said, "this too will pass", LOL (Well, me and a few million others...) I'm a smart little cookie, aren't I! I just wish we could make some things pass a little faster than they do. I pray that you have the grace and strength you need to get thru these next few months. As for you son, miracles happen you know. I mean, look at yourself! You got sober. Let's hope he figures this thing out for himself soon. Who said, "Never, never, never give up!"? (Hint: Churchill)

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful that there is no major drama in my life at the moment. [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now, and wish that I could reach out across the miles and give you a big hug! Guess that this will have to do at the moment! :huggies:

I'm grateful that I can go out to a drinking party and have just as much fun with a Coke in my hand!

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful to have had a sober weekend.

I feel better about myself. I just need to get through the grieving process for the 2 cats that we lost recently and then should be fine. I just need to make sure that I keep saying no to AL and yes to the AF life.

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful for the double dark chocolates I get from our local bulk food store. I'm also grateful that we have a local bulk food store! It's tough for businesses to make a go of it in this small, rural farming town.

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful for the REAL free range eggs I get from a local farm. Feathers & muck still on the shells.
I LOVE eggs - anyway , anytime.
Now here is some light reading about eggs - in case it ever comes up in a quiz ........ :haha:

Bird eggs have been valuable foodstuffs since prehistory, in both hunting societies and more recent cultures where birds were domesticated.
The chicken probably was domesticated for its eggs (from jungle fowl native to tropical and subtropical Southeast Asia and India) before 7500 BCE.
Chickens were brought to Sumer and Egypt by 1500 BCE, and arrived in Greece around 800 BCE, where the quail had been the primary source of eggs.
The Romans crushed the shells in their plates to prevent evil spirits from hiding there.
In the Middle Ages, eggs were forbidden during Lent because of their richness.
The word mayonnaise possibly was derived from moyeu, the medieval French word for the yolk, meaning center

Geez [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], now I’m craving an egg salad sandwich! Thanks for the egg info!

I’m grateful that it’s only egg salad that I crave!

Re: Express your Gratitude

Those facts about eggs are eggsactly the kind of info I enjoy reading, [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]! I'm ready for the pop quiz!

I'm grateful for the sweet corn picked right from our garden. We have been feasting on it for the last two weeks! Nothing like fresh corn on the cob!!!

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful for this quit. This quit is strong and I just need to do the work to keep it strong.

[abcowboy]

I'm grateful that I can accept things as they are now, not the way that I'd wish they were....

I’m grateful for a cool cloudy day spent inside watching the PGA Championship...

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful that the drinking dream that I had last night was just a dream and not real life.
