Wonderful thread!

Just to be able to say, "I'm thankful..." takes our minds and spirit to a whole new place. It gives us all pause to reflect on things that make us smile and add a positive note to our everyday lives. We sometimes get so caught up in the drama created by our addicts, we forget these things.

We need to be reminded to remember the things we are thankful for!

:hug:

I'm thankful for ALL OF YOU! your kindness and your wisdom. for keeping me hanging in there to do what I have to do for me. for sharing your stories. for giving me a laugh when I want to cry.

I'm thankful that my abf's sponsor said, "Now, I can see that Molly is working alanon. Her actions show that she's working the program." :)
Thanks everyone!

(of course, abf hates this:)
