Today I'm grateful for the sunny morning and warm breeze. I'm grateful for the pleasant little chat I just had with my next door neighbour over the garden fence.

One thing I find in recovery, is that it's the little, simple things that are the best.

OK. Started a new job about a month back and had a supervision meeting today. It went very well - so I'm grateful for that!

I'm grateful for being alive and coming back to this forum again!

I'm grateful for a great wife who's allowed me to quit work and be a stay-at-home Dad/Househusband and went full time - cause she knew how much my job was screwing my head up

I'm grateful for great kids, and a life with no stress.

Thank you GOD for my recovery.

I grateful for ...

Having all the support from all my friends,sponsor and therapist. If it wasn't for me reaching out for help from them,I might not be alive today.. I struggle so bad to stay sober.I'm not always successful. But when I fail they are there to pick me back up.,and try again !!! So I'm so very grateful.
