Grateful for Step 10.....without it the committee meeting in my head would have kept me awake all night!
Grateful for knowing that resentments are the Number One offender
Grateful for this program which gives me a daily reprieve from my illness AND a tool box for daily Living!
How lucky us alcoholics/addicts are??

Have a great day everyone

I am so greatful for my life.

The other day my DH gave me some money to "just spend on myself". I said, "I have everything I could ever need or want right here" and I meant it. Things don't make me happy and I'm so greatful that I have come to realize this.

That hasn't been my experience Rusty....yet.

Grateful for two weeks holiday. And grateful for last nights meeting where two people shared about something that's been concerning me. It's good to know I'm not doing this alone.

Grateful to have made the decision to join another home group. Boundary riding just doesn't cut it. The awareness came to me yesterday about, just what side of the fence do I want to be on. Thus the wisdom of joining a home group became glaringly obvious...grateful for choices.
