Grateful i am remembering that I learn as much if not more from the things that make me angry than from the things that make me happy. If I just pay attention.
Therefore grateful for something making me very angry today.

My computer working on & off.
Staying home today cause I have a sick tummy.
I love myself enough to take care of me.
My Dad and his wanting to date at 83.
My HP who has my back always.

Today I am grateful for being able to handle sadness, confusion and frustration and realise these are a normal part of life.
Knowing that I can handle them, I will move through them, and I will do so without drinking.
I am SO grateful for that!

Being able to speak my mind.
Having a warm house cause its cold out. Brr
The stillness and wonder a new day brings.
Princess napping in her chair waiting for the birds to show up.
My HP who continually has my back.

Being able to really feel and cry for the first time in years, instead of being dulled by alcohol
The pain in my wrist completely disappearing just by me walking to and from the bank in the cold
Someone from AA who I barely know offering to come with me to court
The roof over my head

Today I am grateful for the recovering alcoholics and addicts who post on these gratitude threads. The raw and simple honesty of your posts really touch my heart and engender a lot of respect. I usually post and read "friends and family of...." because that is what brought me to the 12 steps.
But I never want to forget that I am also an addict, addicted to perfection and caretaking, and when I became suicidal a few years ago (anything to end the pain) I went to AlAnon and began working the program that saved my life.
Didn't mean to digress but I really am grateful for you and the way you work your programs...
