I'm Grateful
My sponsor taught me a lot today. I'm alive. I'm grateful for that. Life is a gift. I have resources to help me recover from my addiction. I'm grateful for that. Before I was selfish, whining, feeling sorry for myself. Those thoughts only led me to drink and do drugs. In order for me to recover I have to be able to wake up and thank God that I'm alive, then thank him that I'm sober. If it wasn't for AA I'd probably be dead, drinking/drugging was leading me to put a bullet in my head. I just hope that I can maintain this attitude. 23 years ago I was given the greatest gift anyone could be given. I was born, I was granted the gift of life. I hope I don't throw that gift away by giving into my addictions.
