Today I am grateful for making it to 7 months. I am grateful that I have found a new way of life and a wonderful sponsor. I am grateful that my niece (3 years old) is finally getting to know me and let me play with her. I love all that sobriety has given me.

You guys (and gals), I am only 2 days clean from crack cocaine. I feel horrible. But I went to a meeting today and am seeing some newly found hope. Please say a prayer for me because I know that God is all powerful and if I stay willing, he can help me just like he helped you.

Welcome Mary,

This is a great place to be. I am also grateful for the newbies, both here and in the meetings. It shows me that it's not getting any better out there. I am grateful for getting to know Michael a little more each day. I am grateful for another day clean and sober. The longer I stay sober, the better life seems to get.

Today I am grateful that my teeth don't hurt right now. I am grateful that my friend April has finally admitted that she's been getting high for the last month, and she wants help. I'm grateful that I am able to be an inspiration to some of the members here in aa. I'm grateful for the members who are an inspiration to me. Life is good today. Thank you God.

Today I am grateful for getting to sleep in. I don't get to do that too often. It felt great. I'm also grateful that an old timer told me that I'm doing a good job. It's not easy to get that out of an old timer, especially in the first year! I am also very grateful for Michael. He's a wonderful man!
