so much to be grateful for yet sometimes this thread is difficult
My sobriety
Getting grandmas bills and paperwork done
Not canceling my drs appt
Getting some dishes and laundry done
Underwater patches
My daughters understanding
My husband calling me back cause he didn't say I love you
Less pain
Gods gentle voice
Lessons learned

Thank you Fandy
for getting to know people
for the proof they provide that this can be done
For the pain on my skin being better
for an appt with a doc for my shoulder
For eating better
for a life blooming in front of my eyes
For the changes in my children
For the fact that alcohol did not steal their mother
For how very fortunate I am in the people I came into contact with here
For my little girl having the courage to try something she thought she couldn't do

missing all of our grat-friends and hoping all is well for Sneezy, HL, Newby, Reubie, IWBWI and the others.
grateful for a good week and a sunny weekend with warmer temps
grateful that i faked it and then realized one day that i did make it
grateful for that 2nd, 3rd millionth chance that the big man gives me every day....and his patience cos he knows i'm a little slow some days.
grateful for OPTIONS in sobriety (who KNEW)?
grateful to feel well physically and in my head
grateful to laugh and smile more than i did as a crabby drunk
grateful for today and what i'm doing, tomorrow will come soon enough

I am grateful to be sober so young
That God did not give up on me
That I am learning to forgive myself
That even though I don't understand, I trust you Lord
That I'm not drowning my sorrows only to wake up tomorrow with them multiplied (if I did wake up )
For the saying, is always darkest before the dawn. It has to mean something doesn't it?
My children
That my grandma and mother are alive this Easter
For those who walked this path ahead of me
That my face didn't swell up like a toad from all the tears
And this one goes out to a little girl buzzing in my ear

Hiya all and Happy Easter! Sorry to have been away so long, glad to see you here 
Awww.....I just lost everything I wrote ???
Grateful for:
1. A relative's weekend visit and reconnecting
2. A clean house - because I was forced to clean up for the visit! (Maybe I can keep it this way for a change)
3. My dog's excitement at the blue heron at the lake this morning
4. Absolutely gorgeous spring weather - puts a big smile on my face
5. Having breakfast out - probably my favorite meal to go out for - had a cheesy omelet with lots of fresh veggies, yum
6. Being able to throw water on a proverbial fire on Friday and ... poof, it went out for a change!
7. The nostalic feelings of visiting former homes and neighborhoods
8. Confiding in someone who reacted in a great, supportive way
9. My family - looking forward to having Easter dinner with them with all the trimmings!
10. SR and buddies here - have missed you guys. Probaby won't be coming daily but I will be back.
Hope everybody's doing well and take care of your wonderful selves

Baby steps, baby steps
For my brother coming to see my grandma
For the laughter we can share
Doing the right thing
Not drinking
Not crying today
Dr appt tomorrow, well I don't want to go but I will
Tomorrows a brand new day
Glimmers of hope
The realization that I have dreams to find
I have not ben broken (besides the body)
Standing in the rain

Grateful for an end to this day
For making better choices
For yelling at my av and really meaning it
For the miracle that could be right around the corner
The laughter even if it is an inappropriate emotional response
for clarity
People who love me
Beginning to form relationships
For all the support I get online
the gift of sobriety which turns out is a lot of work and difficult but worth it.

For talking and laughing with my 15 yr old daughter
That I seem to be growing and changing
That I got more done than I thought I would
That I don't feel worse than I do
That I seem to be able to put some issues aside till I'm better equipped to deal with them
That I understand just how lacking my coping skills are
That you care enough to keep getting my attention
That I have no guilt for yesterday and(I'm still working on not fearing tomorrow )
That I was able to fix dinner with help (spaghetti and garlic bread)
That I did not lose it all
