Grateful for a new week, and the fact that I don't have to know everything, or be everything...guess I'm trying to say I am very grateful I'm not the driver anymore.
That job was just too hard...

I'm also grateful that I decided to take a walk out in woods for a bit this evening. I had been feeling off-kilter again (like I did most of the weekend) after having had a mostly good day before that, and getting outside, moving around, and talking on the phone at the same time REALLY turned things around for me. Way to use some coping skills there, Eddie!

Grateful for standing strong and putting myself first, and for refusing to give in and put up with poor treatment by someone. Grateful for the therapy that is my bike. Grateful for a bath tonight. Grateful for this forum.

IndaMiricale, I meant to say last night how much I love your avatar picture. Too totally sweet!
Grateful my big orange Remy is on the mend. He has not been himself at all for over a week now and little Spencer misses playing with him, or rather, being played with by him. Remy went to the vet yesterday and it turned out hie was pretty sick, so I'm glad I took him, though it cost quite a few $$$.
And grateful a friend from one of my phone meetings called me back. She helped me feel a lot better about how and what I've been doing. She always does. SHe reminds me to be compassionate and non-judgmental towards MYSELF. I have been "shoulding" on myself really badly lately and she helped me see how counterproductive that is.

Grateful for tonight's beautiful post-storm sunset - there were colors out there that I can't identify without a box of crayola's
Grateful for my 4.5 yr old "puppy" who loves me no matter how crabby I am
Grateful to be sober today and for the people on SR who help keep me that way
Grateful that I finally answered my wake up call, for the way I was living was no life at all.
Grateful that God never accepted "no" as my answer.

Grateful I was provided what I needed today. Stressing and worrying didn't make it happen. Being calm and doing the next best thing is what made it happen.
Grateful that "powerlessness" in overcoming my addictive behavior made me reach out for help.
Grateful for the spiritual solution that is made by connecting and being one of many; not alone.
Grateful to find power in numbers and common causes; it's not the same as doing it alone and has nothing to do with individuality.
Have a good night, all....

Grateful for my amazing family, they support me more than I ever thought they would in this journey.
Grateful for everyone here, I can always count on y'all to be there with a kind word, a supportive comment, or just an ear to listen.
Grateful for the grat section, I didn't realize how much it helps to count your blessings.
Grateful for the sunsets I got to enjoy in Maryland, it's a lot flatter there than here....it was so beautiful to watch the sun sink into the farmland surrounding my Aunt's house (also got to enjoy it coming back up too, rising early is another side benefit of sobriety).
