Grateful today for being able to even be Grateful!

Try saying that and not get a tongue twist in there

I am grateful for knowing that I am following my soul's path. I have a job, which involves work that is close to my heart. How lucky is to have a job which involves work I am passionate about. Before I became sober, I was never able to find such a thing.

I am also grateful for the path in which I have been traveling this time Anna. I am so grateful that I have true friends today that care about me and are even willing to help me when I let them. Grateful that I have a life today that is worth living and it is a huge difference today than a year ago....Few more days

I am so, so grateful to be here, waiting with my dear friend Vic, to celebrate his one year clean and sober. Just a matter of a days now.

I am grateful to be able to stay in the moment, even if it's a struggle sometimes. It's a great place to be.

Yep Chancey..try saying THAT fast 3 times.

Anna ..your posts give such warm feelings when I read them.

What is your secret?

Really, I'd like to know how to do "grace under pressure".

Grateful to be alive....and feeling things...some I don't like.

Love,

IO

I am grateful that I feel comfortable with who I am. It has been a long time coming to this place, but it feels awfully good to be where I am today.

I am grateful to be able to finally see the truth about a situation in my life. It's not a truth that I wanted to see, but it's the truth. Self-denial is not an answer to life's problems.

I am grateful to be able to wake up clean again today and to know that I never have to use again. I can apply my Program to areas today that used to throw me for a loop and still do throw me for a loop on some days.

I am grateful to have friends who support me and believe in me. The difficult times are so much easier when you are lifted up with the love of your friends.

I am grateful that I have fingers so that I can have contact with people here!

Grateful that I have a good relationship with others today and they don't want anything other than that from me.

I am grateful that I can take the risk and let people in my life today

Grateful that I woke up around 4:30 this morning and am getting a little bit of stuff done.

Way to early this morning really

Can I join in?

I am grateful that I can spend time with my children who still love me and want to be with me. I am grateful to be able to give them more of myself and to love them.

I am grateful to have watched my beautiful daughter-in-law run a half-marathon on Sunday. She made in 2 hours and 20 minutes and I was so proud of her. Another gift of sobriety!

Welcome Pilgrim glad that you are here and of course all is welcome here.

Grateful for those things too Anna that remind me of what being clean can actually impact on our lives and the lives of others.
