          Great positive thread.

          I am grateful for
          1. my alcoholic son is talking a lot lately about his issues and he is a very private person
          2. re-reading Jason Vale's book is impacting me again in my journey to stop putting poison in my body
          3. my life at my little cottage by the river with my fiance
          4. my children's relative happiness and success
          5. my beautiful granddaughter who I have formed a close bond with
          Tipplerette

          I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

            1) That I got to my laundry out on the line before it rained.
            2) That I've made some new friends who have never scene me drunk.
            3) That my mom and I can talk as long as we want because of vontage.
            4) That I stopped drinking and smoking.
            5) That I am not worried about money (at the moment)

            This was great! Thank you!

              That I haven't had a drink since last Tuesday.
              That I threw out the rest of my red velvet cupcakes
              My morning cup (ok 2) of coffee
              That my boss is traveling and told me to enjoy an easy week. You don't have to tell me twice!!!
              My awesome family.

                I am grateful for this site and to all of you!:l

                I am grateful for my dogs and cats who expect nothing from me (except food and treats, lol), and love me despite my flaws.

                I am grateful that my bf is supporting my AF lifestyle, and also that he helped me to see that I had a problem.

                I am grateful for my family, whom I have not kept in touch with like I should've due to AL. This is something I am going to remedy.

                I am grateful to still have my job, despite AL and my many attempts at sabotage.

                  I am grateful for 7 days with no AL!

                  Grateful for the beautiful pink sunrise that reminds me of a beautiful young lady in heaven.

                  Grateful for my beautiful granddaughter & her powerful subtle words "Grama? Please don't drink. She has no idea how those words have spoken to me deep inside.

                  I am grateful that my honey has my morning coffee ready for me when I woke up.

                  Thankful for the hour of silence I get right now before anyone else is up.

                  Good morning world.

                        What an inspiring thread! Thanks for starting it Piccalili!

                        Ok, there are several but here are my top 5:

                        1)Waking up Sober!
                        2)My loving husband, my cute dog and 2 mysterious black kitties that are betting than watching any tv show!
                        3) My fun job that I get to walk to and affords me to not have to have a car! Also, that my husband makes a good living and is hard working, just like me.
                        4)Our beautiful home in a georgeous seaside community near Boston. The best of both worlds...city and coast.
                        5)That I have a wonderful extended family and that I am making AF friends, including those of you right here!

                        I'm adding a bonus point: 5A: My health, even though I put my body through hell with AL for the past 15 years or so, my blood tests and recent physical are all normal and my liver is fine. It can only get even better now that I am not drinking.
                        Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

                        BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!
