My sponsor gave me the assignment for the next week to do an assets list and a gratitude list every night before bed. The assets list is a response to being on my 9th step, working some amends, being fully aware of my character defects, and very much wanting them to improve. So... his recommendation was to look at the assets that have contributed to my life...

I invite each of you to do the same if so moved.

I am grateful for:

1.) My son who is home safe tonight and in a good space.
2.) My wife who is loving and supportive, caring and kind.
3.) My intensive outpatient program (IOP) that is giving me so much strength and support.
4.) My job.
5.) My home - I looked at it tonight and felt a surge of happiness for where I live.
6.) My nephews David and Samuel who are still snuggly at 7 and 9.
7.) My sponsor who encourages me daily.
8.) My fellowship of AA, it is changing my life.
9.) I have pretty amazing dogs and a cute, bratty cat.
10.) My parents are alive and healthy.

Assets:
1.) I have a desire to do better.
2.) I have an easy time with faith.
3.) I form relationships based in love and respect.
4.) I am a pretty good writer.
5.) I am intensely loyal.
6.) I am a good son.
7.) I am not afraid of hard times.
8.) I am kind to children and animals.
9.) I am often open to feedback.
10.) I do what my sponsor tells me.
