TIAGF, Deeker's post last night. It was very timely and I was able to let go of something that was hurting me. I am TRULY grateful to SR. I try to help others but I am receiving so much, it makes me cry sometimes. Thank you!

Gratitude comes in many forms. Big things and little things. Today it's a small thing and a big thing. My furnace is fixed and it's cozy and warm now. So I didn't have to sleep all dressed in socks and hats and wrapped in so many quilts I couldn't move. Last night I got the best sleep I've had in days and it was wonderful. I'm well on my way to getting over this lingering chest cold. Also, my car skidded out in the ice yesterday. Scared me to death. But no damage was done and I learned a big lesson in ice driving. Drive slower! Thank you

grateful to be asked to lead the 7 am AA mtg. today so I am late to this thread.
glad you went on without me and did a great job with your attitudes of gratitude and acceptance of doing the next right thing.

My 5 yr old staying up late last night watching cartoons w me. He made me feel better about being lonely when I go away for 4 nights, and don't see my family for about 15 minutes a day on those days. Thankful to have a job. A chance to get out of the $$$$ hole we spent ourselves into. SR friends and posters-- thank you

To be paid for my work and to be able to feed myself and my family
that I have a roof over my head and my family are safe
that I have free time and space in my head to think now I am sober
that other people share their music and creativity with us

Grateful for learning to live sober, and getting to know myself as an adult. I haven't been completely free of any form of substance since I was 16. I'm now 33. Time to get to know myself as a woman.

TIAGF. I came up against an unkind person today. It upset me. I was upset all day. But I was able to see that I was up to my old pattern of over reacting and I was able to let go of it and find some peace.
