Elsie, I can't believe you beat me to the first post in my own thread!! Seriously though, glad you liked my other post. 
Today I am thankful for:
Today I am thankful for:
- Cats and drums!!
- Day 234 no weed
- Day 336 no alcohol
- Day 336 eating healthy/exercising
- Day 434 no cigarettes
- Part 2 to this thread!!! Wow!! I gotta admit I've secretly had it as a goal to make it to Part 2 practically since I started this thread. Now I guess making it to Part 3 will have to be my new goal.
- Opi for the new thread.
- I'm even more thankful for what this thread does for me, or makes me do for myself. In Melody Beattie's book The New Codependency, she writes, "It's important to say thank you for our gifts. But you also have to fake, force and will gratitude- write "I AM grateful for:_________," whether you're grateful or not. It's not lying. It's a spiritual practice and acting as if." There have definitely been days when I had to force myself to come up with things I was grateful for. Sometimes, it comes easier than others. Sometimes I truly am very grateful. Whether it occurs naturally or not, working to be grateful brings me towards being more grateful. Progress, not perfection, right? Gratitude has been a very important force in my recovery.
