grateful for a goodnight of sober, restful sleep and the computer allowing me to post my gratitude. What is Thy Will for me today my Lord my God? I have the power to do it with the faith of a grain of mustard seed.

Thank you for your quote from Carlos Castenada...I need to see this every day. It wakes up my Strong side and quiets the other. Thanks!:You_Rock_P. S. Have a great day and best of luck on your new beginnings.

......congrats on your meetings...I can say I have never gone to too many meetings and never been to a bad meeting...there is always something I need to hear. Listening to myself instead of others is like trying to read a bad book...better to put it down and try a new one. Keep Coming Back It Works and thanks for sharing your experience, strength and hope.:You_Rock_

I'm grateful for the few family members I have left I can still talk to. I'm grateful for being able to play my beautiful babies (guitars). I'm grateful for a forum where I can talk about my addictions without getting earache from half the membership. Over the last two days I destroyed all my growing equipment (thousands of pounds worth) and I'm grateful that I gained the balls to finally do it.

Finally I'm grateful that every day I can now find reasons to stay alive.


Hallelujah! :)

Me too...five months ago I really didn't care if I lived...no, I actually wanted to die

Today I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy life...just for today.

Grateful for the good nights sleep I had even if I overslept a bit. It makes all the difference in starting a new day.

Grateful to be still above ground.

Really grateful for Ipanema's thank you for EQ's Carlos Castenada's quote this morning. I took a moment to really read the quote and think Wow - how true. A good way to start the day. Thank you Ipanema and EQ!

I'm grateful for 7 weeks sober today! It's probably been 15 years since I've gone that long!

I'm grateful for all of you.

Even though most of us haven't spoken yet, and we don't really know each other, when I read your posts across the forum and get a tiny glimpse into your lives, you bring me smiles, sorrow, laughter, joy & tears where otherwise none would have existed.

Thank-you.

Grateful that my thirstiness this morning is just plain old thirstiness.
Grateful that I did all my "before work" stuff before work.
Grateful that I am getting my life and household back in good order.

Grateful I know that I am not feeling grateful and feel grateful anyway even though I am not feeling grateful but I am, you see?!

Yes, I get this so much. We are all so different and so much the same in many ways. Thanks for your Honesty. You put in writing what I was unable to define. Some people don't really like slogans but one of my favorites that might apply to your quote is: "It's Okay Not To Drink"....God Bless

today I am grateful for:

• the warm re-welcome I felt returning to this grat-pak thread, ((courage))
• morning coffee, just a bit more than usual as I gave it up at evening meetings
• a slight reduction in my sweets cravings
• the promise of a productive day
• planning a business trip that will have me spending a day with my youngest and a bit over 100,000 others at a football game at her college soon
