Counting Blessings

[Boss.man]

My Serotonin books say you can build serotonin by focusing on the good things in life. The old "count your blessings" really does make you feel better.

I'll start: I'm healthy, and have good friends, including some new ones here, and I'm making progress on addressing my AL issues. The sun is out, and fall looks beautiful, and I just had my car in the shop yesterday and won't have to pay for another maintenance for a year and they said the tires look great, so that's two big expenses deferred for a long time!

My blessing is my sobriety; without that nothing else positive that I have in my life would be as appreciated or possible. I can't believe it but I am finally at a point in my life where I am happy with who and what I am.

Thanks Boss.man - great post - agreed! I am thankful for MWO, which lead me to sobriety, my loving husband, my children & family (their health), my dog, that I have a company vehicle that I don't have to fill with gas, LOL!, my home, job, friends, where I live, health, and that at the end of the day, I am happy with who and what I am, as a person. :h

I am counting my blessings each and every day.

I am so blessed to have 2 wonderful daughters. A great job with benefits. My health; my family's health. To live in a safe & peaceful part of the world. That we have a running car; roof over our heads; food on the table; clothes on our backs, etc.

I am thankful for MWO and my sobriety..... just wish there was something that they could sell in the Health Food Store that could of taken away the 'angry' phase in the beginning of sobriety. I am blessed that is gone and no one got hurt, for now anyways

I am a very Grateful Lady
I am thankful for MWO and AA and another day in recovery
I am thankful for my new job
I am thankful that I may have a chance to save my home (mortgage in default)
I am thankful for my 3 wonderful grown children. They are healthy, happy and gainfully employed.
I am so very happy that I am a Nurse, and I get to help others every day
My education is a gift of sobriety. I put down the drink at the age of 28, with 3 little ones at home, and returned to school, and got a Bachelor's degree.

Counting Blessings

I am blessed with my babies and my grandkids, the love of the most amazing lady, good health, a strong sense of survival and all the basics of life. I open the door and I can smell fresh air and the ocean.
I have an optimistic outlook and a good sense of humour and I am learning about life and love and what's important and what's not, every day.
I've reached a point in my life where I can look anybody in the eye and know that I am their equal.
Material things mean less and less to me.
I am happy to be me most of the time. A while ago, I couldn't stand the sight of myself. I'm getting better that way.
I'm in a tricky situation right now, but I am certain that things will turn out the way we want them to.
Thank you Boss.man

Thanks Boss man for that simple reminder, I do have so much to be grateful for and have a tendancy to forget WHERE I CAME FROM, Im most grateful for having a year of being sober, It has not been easy at all how ever I know that if I stay sober my life will get better, and I must be Patient which I am not..

In regards to your car I was thinking: I was thinking I never gave a rats you know what about my car other to work and make it to the booze store.

Im so grateful I have a wonderful man in my life who loves me just the way I am ( bouts of anger, depression, and being very selfish) He has loved me thru all this and so have so many people here on MWO..... I know that I am not alone I cant do this by myself but I am sure WE can here on MWO... It's about sharing our experience strength and hope here thats what this is all about...

Have a good day all
