Grateful to want sobriety bad enough that I am forcing myself to face some things about myself I would usually run from. Grateful maintaining sobriety forces growth.

Grateful I told my sister that I couldnt afford it today when she asked me to go Christmas shopping with her.

Grateful that my thinking is untwisting enough for me to face myself without shame.

Grateful for a new learning curve in Recovery.

Grateful that I am ten months sober today.

Grateful that even though I felt sad, empty, and depressed Sunday afternoon after looking out the window of my house and seeing the gray skies, no sun, feeling the cold, the days getting dark by 5 pm, I got through it with a little dignity and grace and ended up feeling better.

Grateful my aim is to get through things with a little dignity, respect, decency, and grace with out having to drink or act like a maniac.

Grateful we can all suffer together here as well as get better and be happy here.

Someone left my gate open last night and I'm so grateful that Jack came back when I called him. (he knows what side his bread is buttered on)

Grateful for prayer and the humility to pray.

Grateful for feeling humble and powerful, both.

Grateful Leasts dog came back and that she wasn't the maniac I would've been.

Grateful for Leasts three years and her thoughtfulness.

Grateful I got my physical over with on Monday morning and it appeared to go well, although I won't know for sure until blood work results come back.

Grateful I went out to dinner with my wife Monday evening and had a good, relaxing time - something we usually neglect due to work, kids, money, fatigue, stress...
