Grateful for learning to accept the things I can not control instead of constantly wanting to change them and then using my frustration/self pity as an excuse to drink.

Grateful for a warm house.

This Morning I am Grateful For:

Waking up in a complete and sound mind.

Having a wonderful job to report to, and making it here in one piece.

My short-comings, because God is about to bless me in many areas.

My faith, because I have truly learned that this is all I have to lean and depend on.

grateful for a good nights sleep and everything else any man could possibly want which includes all of you SR people who are on the right path. We are not bad getting good but overcoming the disease of alcoholism. Praying for EQs' friend who survived the attack.

Night time gratitude for me today.

Grateful for a week without alcohol, grateful for the meeting my colleagues were in that meant when I crept in late no one saw! Grateful for the free cake in my favourite coffee house given to me and my friend by the barista as he was closing and it would be out of date tomorrow. Grateful of the clarity to plan so I don't oversleep tomorrow. Grateful that my job being at risk means my free workplace counselling can continue past the usual 6 sessions. Grateful of a warm house, healthy children and Netflix!!!
