Grateful to be SOBER
I remember once sitting in the parking lot of the gas station and crying because I wanted to go in so bad and buy some beer....but didn't. That internal wrestling match is TOUGH! But you won a big battle by working through that craving and you'll be stronger for it. Congratulations.

Grateful that even though my day didn't go as I'd hoped it was still productive.

Thanks for the support man! That internal wrestling match is tougher than ANY match against another person or thing. But the feeling after overcoming that craving is amazing you are right!

Grateful not to lose my mind while trying to sort rego and insurance for the smashed car and the new car. Sobriety helps clarity of mind.

Grateful for standing up for my fellow recovering addicts/myself today when a co worker went on a rant about how she doesn't have sympathy for addicts I totally shut her down and told her about the genetics aspect, my experience with other addicts etc. I kept calm and totally gave her a new outlook on the disease

Grateful for being alive

Grateful for the picture that Mrs Holmes put on the wall that says:

In this house we do second chances
We do grace
We do real
We do mistakes
We do I'm sorrys
We do hugs
We do family
We do love
