Grateful for weekends!
Grateful that I am healthy enough to go and workout.
Grateful for people that would want to have me at a BBQ, and that I don't have to worry about "stocking up" for it, or pretending that I'm ok only drinking 2 beers and being stressed and wanting to leave because of it.
Congrats on 2 months, Marjoram!

I am grateful for 2 months sober. And so far it is feeling better than my 3 month run that I had in the past. The tools are in place, and this time, they are being used with my heart and soul, not just my mind.
I am grateful that even though there are days especially early on like this that I feel alone, that I have come to realize that I am not alone.
I am grateful for AA, just wish I didn't have such a long drive or I would attend more meetings. But, I have accepted that I will make the ones I can and my next step is to find my sponsor to have that key contact in between my meetings.
I am grateful for SR and the love and support they offer without even knowing who we are as individuals, but who we are at recovering alcoholics or recovering from whatever addiction we may face.
I am grateful for my brother's honesty and love as he has been my true mentor through all this.
I am grateful for all the sleep I'm finally getting without waking up without the regret of drinking 1/2 pint of whiskey and 6 beers.
I am grateful for not finding any more empty bottles that were hidden throughout the house and garage.
I am grateful for another beautiful day of sobriety. Good days and bad, sober is still the only way to face them.
Love to you all!

Grateful to be up and facing the day. Grateful it is sunny and pretty out.
Grateful to be meeting my Dad to watch the Belmont race later today. Grateful we could have a Triple Crown Winner today.
Grateful the dryer repairman has come and gone and did the job in fifteen minutes.

Congratulations Marjoram!
Grateful for my health, job security, marriage, and my son's health and happiness.
Grateful today that years of experience and some pain have given me the freedom to laugh at my faults and feel compassion for others.

Grateful for new tools to expand the quality of my recovery. I just downloaded "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young on my kindle. I give it 5 stars.
It pulled me in and I can't put it down.
Congratulations freein14, 2 months is a major step in recovery.

Grateful for FBLs avatars and the smiles they give me.
Grateful for another day to do no harm and maybe do some good.
Grateful for a dog that keeps me on my toes, doesn't like me to sleep in and challenges my patience. I could learn to be more patient.
Grateful for meditation which is helping to slowly increase my detachment and offer me a space within which to choose before I react. It also shows me constantly that my rigid take on things is one of many ways to look at things.
Grateful at my age inner growth is still possible.

Grateful I got out of bed and walked to early morning as meeting.
Grateful for a short yoga practice this morning.
Grateful for a guided meditation on YouTube that is helping me calm down after a stressful negative encounter. Grateful for the realization I don't have to drink over it. Even though I'm weepy and agitated with PMS I don't have to drink over this.
