((v)), we need you fighting this fight with us!

Grateful to just be enjoying sunshine on my neck (I guess I mean just being able to relax and enjoy the little things)

Grateful for feeling solitude instead of loneliness.

It's my birthday, and I'm grateful for the gift of an entire year sober, and I'm grateful to have learned that 51 and sober is so much better than 50 and drunk.

Grateful that SR is here today when the family is in crisis mode from my Sister's trauma on Christmas Day...she is better now after hospitalization while drinking and taking an antidepressant. Her experience serves as a good wakeup call to all in our family, including a reminder to me.

Grateful to be sober and looking forward to my Women's AA today where I find it especially important today

Grateful for my Sobriety and attribute it to 90 percent Higher Power and 10 percent my own ability to turn it all over, especially in really tough times

Grateful I can share a few resentments with my Sponsor today and then let it all go and enjoy the Spirituality of Christmas

Grateful I can realize I can only control what I do, not someone else's

Grateful I have SR friends who always understand and offer comfort; also Grateful for my Sponsor who tells me to let go of some of the behaviors of my family

Grateful I'm feeling so much better this morning than last evening (chills, sore throat, generally miserable).

Grateful for the awareness being in AN has brought me; practicing loving detachment in so many unhealthy relationships around me, start looking after me.

So grateful my AN meeting is tonight - really need it this week.

Thank You, Rusty. I have asked Higher Power to help her begin to recover. She knows I will take her to meetings this weekend but no reply on that. Prayer and lighting candles do wonders tho. Your note and encouragement means a lot. Wish I could see your band play but will be hoping you have a grand time. My best, IpanemaRock on!!!!

Grateful for the good sleep I've been getting lately. It's been many months since I've had any decent sleep, so I am very grateful for some hours at a time.
I'm grateful to be lucky enough to read all of your posts! Thank you.

Grateful for the snowstorm last evening: I was too sick to go my AN meeting but the storm made it easier to stay at home.

Grateful for finding some hot lemon medicine tucked away in my cupboard - sipping on it right now.


Grateful for SR - it's like a "virtual meeting" when I'm unable to attend in person.

Grateful for my son who shovelled the driveway after only asking him once.
