Today

[baabrew33]

I am grateful today to have thought to be grateful at all! I am feeling very beat up the last few days and I'm not sure at all where to go or what to do. I just make sure that I speak with others in the program and go to a meeting everyday...however it back to reality 1st thing Monday morning! Sitting here I was wishing there was a meeting around that I could go to unfortunately there isn't but there is this and I am grateful for the ability to use this forum instead. I am feeling very off today and I heard my sponsor in my head asking me if I had done a gratitude list. So here it is: I am grateful that I am clean and sober today, that I am an open minded, genorous and kind individual. That although I have many defects of character I am able today to be aware of them and to do something about it. That no matter what I don't have to drink or drug today! I'm grateful that I don't feel the hopelessness today that I have in the recent past. I'm grateful for all the anniversaries that people celebrate each month and that I get to see them getting better everyday. I'm grateful that I'm able to learn a little bit more about myself, good or bad, and I can use this knowledge to help me go on another day.

I'm grateful for my sponsor and the other sober people in my life and finally I'm thankful for all of you!

Thanks!
