I am grateful for a loving family and friends, an awesome partner who loves me unconditionally, second chances, a solid job, a great place to live, knowledge of how I can stay sober even though I don't feel like doing the work sometimes, AA, opportunities to be responsbile and help others, inspiring stories, great music, sunshine and cold ice tea! Totally random but it's what I'm feeling right now. Have a great sober day everyone!

Iam grateful for another chance to try recovery/sober way of living. I really want to make it this time. I get in trouble when I stray from this site. It really does work if you are open to help.

I have begun to comprehend gratitude as perceiving life through humble eyes. When my ego remains deflated through a daily routine of recovery I am grateful for the simplest of things. Used to be the more complex, expensive, biggest (well, you get the picture) the more "gratitude" it deserved. Anything to keep the bubble head inflated!!
Today I am grateful for life, sobriety, the improving ability to live in reality, the many blessing I receive daily. We receive blessings daily, we may not be able to see it as such at the time, so, for me, that's what reflection and meditation consist of, in part.
Today I am grateful to have a program of recovery, everything beyond it is taken care of by it.
Happy holidays to all!!!!!!

I am eternally grateful for...
1. The severely low bottom I brought myself to. It has kept me willing to do that which is required of me.
2. The people in the program such as my sponsor and those members of my homegroup who have never asked me to leave, even after many failed attempts at staying sober.
3. Bill Wilson and Bob Smith, and to take it a step further... Rowland Hazard, the gentleman who along with one other fellow, went before Ebby Thatcher's judge (Ebby being the gentleman referred to in Bill's story. "the old school friend.") and convinced him to allow Ebby to be released into the care of the Oxford Movement, which in turn provided Bill with a basic structure to gather together the ideas which became the 12 steps.
4. Passing it On!
Of course, a sober member of the program of action finds it very easy, on a good day, to be grateful... and today is that day for me. It's going to be interesting to check back with you wonderful folks when the day is not going so well... but for now, I will pass.
