I'm grateful for my sobriety.
*for the support of my boyfriend
*for my dog who loves me unconditionally
*for my new home that's close to the dog park
*for getting fit as it is a very important part of my recovery.

I am grateful to have celebrated 1 year at my job as of a couple of days ago. It means more to me than my 10 year at my previous job. I'm grateful more is being revealed to me and that I can accept God's time instead of kicking and screaming for mine. I am grateful for natural sleep and the hope I see in a newcomer's eyes after a lightbulb goes off.

grateful to have steady work that i enjoy

Grateful for my morning ritual....fire, coffee, comfy chair, SR! :)

Grateful to be able to help my son in laws family. His Uncle, who I may have mentioned , went to the ER a few weeks ago with shoulder pain. He ended up in surgery with esophageal bleeding. (Pancreatitis causes this.) Then he was transferred to a hepatitic center as he went on a liver transplant list. Got cellulites and more internal bleeding but his liver couldnt handles medicine. He died yesterday.

This was a man who the day before the ER was working full-time successfully. Known to be a big drinker all his life. This is what we call a "high functioning alcoholic", the kind no one worries about. I was one of those. He is near my age in his fifties. I am so sad for everyone. Theyre in shock at what alcohol can do. That it kills you.

Grateful i can reach out to them and also help babysit for the funeral, etc. Grateful I could tell someone this. Thank you.

Grateful that today is an ordinary day at work. Nothing special is good sometimes.
Grateful that my young adult son talks to me.
Grateful that I love where I live.
Grateful for SR and the help of everyone here.

Thank you courage for making me think about being grateful for ordinary days. I too am grateful that today will be an ordinary day at work.

And very grateful i can look in the mirror without cringing.
