Hey Tammie - good to see you! Awesome about you giving up smoking - me too! I quit on the 9th so it's early days. There's so many members who have quit in the past few months. Come and see us on the Nicotine Forum!

I have to say I am grateful I DO feel pain now...........I was pretty mad earlier, laying on the couch wondering when does the pain ever end? Just one dang sickness after another..........and then it dawned on me......... I AM FEELING PAIN=I AM ALIVE!!! So...I am thankful I CAN feel now. And that I am sober enough to give a care and DO something about it......not just medicate it away and avoid it. That is SOOOOOOOOOOOO HUGE for me.............helps the pain just thinking how far I actually have come...that's what I love about this place...it brings such clarity.....and keeps me from drowning on my own toxic thoughts. Thankful for SR.and to be *Home Sweet Home* again.......

I am all around grateful today............feeling overall contented and at peace. Started some worrying last night but immediately went into a thankful list and only focused on the positive, and the possible. My poor hubby. He is buying his first big rig with a company here in PA..well the runs have been slow, the money even slower and he literally runs on fumes each tank of fuel....Last night he had to go 60 miles with the fuel gauge on EMPTY. He kept hitting traffic back ups....I prayed all evening, Please God let him make it.....he did!! Thankful also this weeks check is larger than we both had predicted...so we can put more back into the truck.

I am grateful I have health insurance for an affordable price. For sooo mnay times I was unable to get any. I may not like what I am finding out but I am grateful to be able to seek treatment. MY heart and prayers go out to those who have no health coverage. *Hugs*

Dear HP~ Keep me grateful today thankful for all that I have the material possessions are leaving and sometimes I fear my true love is also gone.................I hurt so bad inside, but yet I am thankful that I'm alive and sober enough to deal with it all head on........Please dear God keep a spirit of gratitude within me as I walk this dark road...........grant me a spirit of love and acceptance to do that which I can...and do it well...and peace that God knows what she's doing with the 'rest'....... If I should lose this house please keep a spirit of home within my heart If I should lose my husband let me not be bitter If the lab tests come back with unpleasant news keep me strong and grateful for all that I DO have...... I am thankful for recovery..for my friends and my "HOME" here at SR I am thankful for my children who teach me so much I am thankful for my dreams........and I am thankful that in any storm there can be peace........there can be serenity........thankful for choices. Please God help me make the right ones........... With gratitude to my HP for helping lead me this far...~Tammie

(((((Phinny)))))~ Thank you for the prayers. I am really scared right now and sad about what we stand to lose.........could be almost every material possession we own. I have had a distinct 'gut feeling' and 'knowing' these past months that my HP has plans in store for me that I may not realize what they are but things need to be rearranged, lost in order to be gained. I have made it through other stressful times with an attitude of gratitude and plan to do so this time. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers..I am so grateful to you also and SR for the blessings and unconditional love and support.

Dear God....I want to be thankful and full of gratitude but I am not 'feeling' very thankful at the moment..... I am thankful my brother has been found alive....suicidal...but alive locked up tonight to protect him from himself........please God help him to see there IS hope.....there is good to live for.........please be with him.... I love him and I am so worried about him.........

I am very grateful today........ For my LIFE my children who teachme all I REALLY need to know! for my husband..who is working with me on our marriage... supporting me writing a recovery book! He ACTUALLY told me he thinks it would be a best seller!!!! HE DOES believe in me.......I had been believing he hated me.......As I have come to understand though...he was hurt more than I could bear to believe about my addiction years...........the suicide attempts....the days of paranoia and hate and rage....and sickness.while he kept on working........kept on doing the next right thing.kept telling me zI coudl make it........he was threatened at first by my recovery process I now drive........I leave the house.....I am trying to build a career and contribute financially..........I voice my opinions......I stand up for myself.I don't pop a pill and retreat................. he has been scared I would leave him.........he lives in great physical pain....and ha shis own emotional issues also......it isn't all about mE...... I have hope for my marriage today!!!!!!!!! That brings tears of joy.........I love my husband sooooo much. We are talking civil to each other....... Just got off the phone with him and he was sharing some tips for my research.....how to get money to do so......... HE LOVES ME!! He was just scared.........and I was too busy to shut my mouth.and allow him to adjust to the new me........he is gone all week so we have basically a long distance relationship.........he couldn't come home this weekend.......it's hard for him.....very hard. Had to share that............I am just amazed at what love and understanding can accomplish.
