today I am grateful to read Carol's name in the starting of this thread.

You are missed Carol, but I know you are still here, somehow. You helped so many of us. RIP.

I'm also grateful for the amazing amount and quality of the work CarolD did here at SR.
She will not be forgotten.

Grateful Carol always appreciated the little things. Like her nightly bedtime snack. Her gratitude and courage were deeply inspiring. Thank you, Carol. I miss you.

Today I am so very much Grateful for SR and the people in it.

I think the last few weeks have been amongst the most meaningful for my sobriety.
I start every day now with a read of postings and posting myself is a reality check that I've been lacking. I've gotten more done in my life in the last few weekends than for a long time. I've finally lifted my head out of this dreary struggle and more and more am finding the elusive happiness in the smallest of things. Life doesn't have to be spectacular anymore. Don't really know why I ever wished for it. Easy Does It and Keep It Simple,Stupid is good enough for me, today.
( decided to keep nick as Grymt to remind myself of why.)

I am so grateful for the people that showed my family and especially my brother, kindness while he was actively addicted. They were our angels.

Grateful for the people that are kind and compassionate to all addicts, today, too. I'm reminded of one in particular that bought a meal for a friend's addicted mother, and sat down and ate with her and talked to her. She was an addict and living mostly on the streets. Grateful that we got to hear that story, a few years later after she had passed away.

Grateful I was able to spend the afternoon cleaning out my garage. It looks great. I sure would not have tackled that if I had been drinking.

I am grateful that CarolD started this and other "Gratitude" threads.

I am grateful for my Significant Other, my children, my friends.

Grateful to set limits, and not ask permission to do so.
Grateful to act like a grownup.... When necessary!

Today I am grateful I got out and about and did exercise after work. A real first.

TIAGF
That i no longer try to cure insomnia with alcohol
That i have a job to go to
That my car is fully repaired and i had the $$to pay for it with Mr.Mastercard
That i will forgive my Shrieking SIL....she is getting annoying but crazy wont change....she is out of touch with the real world living in a protected bubble, and her complaints are laughable.
I'm grateful for being sober, somewhat sane and for conversation with friends and my daughter.
And coffee....and a tablet so i can post while laying in bed....there is a lot to be grateful for.
Especially peace of mind....and that i no longer will give my SIL a piece of my mind when she irritates the sh!t out of me....
Grateful for progress, i'll never be perfect, but thats ok!
