    Grateful Thread

    G and Lav and Byrdie and a million people often tell us to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. I realized there really wasn't a thread where we could pop in and reinforce that. You know - a quick hits of - what I'm grateful for? It could be 15 times a day really - because what I'm grateful for could change in a heartbeat - in the time it takes for a friend to HALT or I urge surf or I ride out some new challenge and stretch my AL free coping muscles...anything at all - it could be waking up without a hang-over - or the 14 lbs I've lost this month from not drinking or any of a million things - but I think a grateful thread would be fun.

    So come one, come all, come as often or as long as you want. Pile on the positives.

    Be here - be grateful.

    In that regard - I'm grateful for the wisdom of the people here who have gone before - who light the way. Who cheer us one when we need it and put a foot in it when there is a need for a size 10 in the tail somewhere. Love to Lav, G, Byrdie, LolaB, K-9, MollyKa, Running Cedars, who weave in and out of the story....

    Love to Patrice, Free, Slayer, Audrey, BelleGirl, Stumpy, Dixon, Allan, Nelz, Nursie, and wherever you are - Captain G. Miss you Captain G. So many people weave in and out of our stories here in ways big and small - I couldn't thank all of you - you climb in and out - whisper a kind word and move on - and I'm grateful.

    Muah to all of you. For everything.

    Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

      PF I totally agree !

      I'm grateful for MWO and the insights it has given me.

      I'm grateful for all the knowledgeable and supportive peeps I've"met" since being here - for their advice, guidance and encouragement, even when I feel like an undeserving failure.

      I'm gratefull for waking up sober - after a major slip on Friday !!!

      I'm gratefull to Roberta jewell for the program and the book which I received yesterday - and for potentially saving my life by showing me a way out.

      And I'm grateful for my family who have supported me, picked me up when I've been drunk, held my hair when I've thrown up, undressed me and put me to bed and forgiven all my moods and empty promises.

      Wow - I feel like I've just been to confession !!!!

        ToBeTrue -

        They don't have to be people you call from home - but for instance Patrice and Audrey and I have been at this a long time - weaving stops and starts around each other. It won't matter where they are I always care what happens to them - they stories started and weave in and out with mine when mine hurt most - and they are burned on my brain.

        I know their stories like I know mine. I worry when I don't hear from one of them on the boards in a couple of days. They don't log in and say Prairie - I am home. I look for them. They are my touch stone not the other way around. When Audrey missed her flight - I worried sick for her.

        That's what this place becomes - a home of people like you.

          Nice idea for a thread Prairie and I'm grateful to you for starting it I suspect I wouldn't have had the AF time I have since being here and I'm grateful to everyone for helping me on my way. Good to have a thread where we can find the good vibes :l You're doing so well Prairie btw :h

            I am grateful for MWO.

            I am grateful for a beautiful Fall day that I could enjoy without a hang over or despair that I didn't know who I called last night or that I failed to remember what I said.

            I am grateful for a body that is healing from the damage I have done to it.

            I am grateful for relationships that are healing from what I have done to them.

            I am grateful for being in church today and the chance to say thank you for the grace to get up and start this life over. And the belief there will be forgiveness in the end for the things I've done.

            I am grateful for the love of family and friends that I have not always deserved but I wrap myself in.

              I am grateful that i have great energy and enthusiasm, and am in good health.

              I am grateful that i see that anything is indeed possible for me, and that any obstacles are put there only by my thinking.

                            I am grateful tonight - as a wise lady and wise friend comes close to slipping the bonds of this life behind - for the gift of her kindness, her friendship, her faith. I am grateful for the gift of her presence. I am grateful to have been sober the last few weeks of her life so I could look her straight in her eyes - as proud of myself as I could be - so I could carry myself straight and upright - the way I should have the entire time. I hope inside - in the place she can't hear or see anymore - that the message I'm sending to her - that I love her - that I'm grateful and I'm better for having known her - is reaching her - somehow.
