I am grateful....
....that I "got it" this time.

....for the incredible support of my family and friends.

....for AA for being so comforting.

....for the rehab I got because it worked.

....for the new friends I've made who want to support even though they haven't known me very long.

Today I'm just grateful to friends..old and new..life on life's terms..it's new concept but a good one.

Older sober members who'll point out in a kind way when something's not my business...and the 'maturity?' not to be offended.


...I'm happy things are ok with you Rusty

I'm grateful that I can have a God of my heart in AA. And not have to conform to someone else's version.

but then i wonder if it's not pride and judgment on my part, and God's bought these people and situations into my life for a reason. Oh I could do head miles about this.

love you too Pat...

I became aware last night that there's still, what feels like a wall around me, keeping me cut off from people....not everyone, but most others... and cut off from myself to a degree....I think it's built out of pride, fear, ...fear of rejection..all that cr*p. I don't want the wall anymore but tha concrete seems thick....I guess it's a process

Hi kim...sobriety's great, isn't it? I wasn't grateful for anything while I was drinking/using. Actually..my sponser had to start my gratitude list for me, 'cause I didn't have a clue there was anything in my life worth being grateful for.
