jarp....I couldn't say that I am thankful for alcoholism....and mean it..lol!
I might say..."I am thankful for this group", but that is as far as I, personally, would honestly be able to extend it.
Actually, I am grateful for every good person that I meet in life.
jarp, I think that the saying "take what you need and leave the rest" is very applicable, here.
