Grateful for warmth and affection.
Grateful that I found and retrieved my phone from among the innards of the couch.
Grateful that a couple of former students want to stop by today for coffee, and I'm not going to knock back a couple of shots before I see them.
Have a great time in this fair city, EQ!

I think our Higher Power was testing me last night and this morning with alcohol. It's my day off, and I would usually drink the day away but I woke up this morning feeling like I had a hangover and I have this huge headache. It's gone away now but just that hangover feeling alone.... ::shivers:: A gross feeling. Even though I am still new to recovery, I never want to feel that gross again.
So, that is my morning gratitude to our Higher Power.

It may sound trite but I'm grateful for my hand held tiny Dyson vacuum cleaner because it makes my life so much easier maintaining a home and working. It was purchased with "what I don't spend on alcohol" savings so I guess that means that -- once again -- I am grateful to be sober.

Grateful that I am getting tired and not feeling guilty about going to bed early.
Grateful for my appointment with a Dr. tomorrow that I have been dreading. At least by tomorrow pm it will be over. I think I am burning out of Drs and at the same time very grateful they can help me with Chronic Pain. It would be such a new life.
Grateful my children are happy but stressed. It goes with the territory. Seeing the teens and their drama reminds me that I went thru it and I'm still here. Grateful I can tell them that.

Grateful to be up early and to see the garden so vibrant after last night's rain
Grateful for the sun warming away the last wisps of mist
Grateful for new days and new beginnings
Grateful that it is my sister's 10th wedding anniversary today. This is her third marriage and by far the happiest one. She met the right person later in life, as did I ♥♥♥

Grateful for a day off work.
Grateful to be able to afford some healthy foods when I go shopping later.
Grateful that wine is no longer on the list (actually it never was on the list, because it was the one thing I could never have forgotten!). Glad I don't need to shop down the poison isle anymore.

Grateful for this which I posted on 24 hour club connections today:
Purpleknight, you just took me back to Chicago where I was living drunk when this 5 star movie came out. My 22 year old daughter was living with me, and I took her to that movie. She was one of us, and she died of our disease at age 50 in 2011.
Everything in my life back then was connected to alcohol, and I loved that movie cause it had all the triggers of drinking, and my now deceased daughters loved it and adored their alcoholic Daddy.
And what better reminder of how far I have come since then.
24 more hours sober today gives me 28 years and 4 months living in recovery from our illness, alcoholism since April 6, l986.
Thanks to people like you Purpleknight and everybody else on this thread and pardon me for tooting my own horn cause I love myself a lot.

Grateful that due to sobriety and losing 25 lbs that I no longer need to take medication for high blood pressure. It took 4 years of being sober and struggling to lose weight to get here but I am ever so grateful to no longer need to pills!

To grtgrandpa,
You are such an inspiration and give me hope when I'm a bit down.
I absorb many posts here and your spirituality (and others as well) make such a difference in my attitude when it needs adjustment. It needs it a lot!!
You deserve to love yourself!!! You've worked hard to remain sober among some serious hearaches! God brings us here in pain and keeps us here as we develop friendships. I know I keep coming back to report in and absorb all I need to hear for today.
