Annual Gratitude - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

barb dwyer · 10-18-2009, 07:22 PM

I'm grateful for the Touch of the Infinite
in that I have another year to review.

Grateful for the One I Love
for his support, his patience, his enthusiasm
and for touching my life with Beauty.

Grateful for a warm house
a generous landlord
for my friends' help when I needed them ...

Grateful for a job
in an economy of chaos and lies.

Grateful for the intellect
to know when I am being lied to by the Powers That Be.

Grateful for a computer
to come back online
and visit my old friends here at SR.
Who I have missed so much this past year.

Grateful for the capacity to intuitively connect
with The Power Greater Than Myself
in intimate relationship and guidance.

Grateful to be of Service.
Grateful for another year, and another chance.

hey rusty - I went to that guy's (granpa from the munsters) restaraunt back in the 80's in NYC - LOL!

I'm gateful today for my friends on SR
those who listen to me rant
and those who PM to be sure I'm okay...

I'm grateful for a job
in a town wehre so many can't find work.
I'm grateful for a car with a heater that works
and for a heater in my house.
I'm still grateful for my own space again
and grateful for the animals who come over to visit
who seem to have missed coming over to see me on occasion.

I'm grateful for the repair found in recovery
and for the new horizons we awaken to
when we stip the nightmare.

I'm grateful for the ability to journal
someplace to spew when I don't feel right inside...

and for a boss who looks the other way
when she knows I'm coming here to be with other sober people.
