Grateful for the possibilities in all of us. The ability to learn & adjust. For me, drinking closed that door.

Grateful for the link a member shared from the Mayo Clinic about positive thinking (can’t remember who).

Got turned down by Big Brothers Big Sisters. It's a rigorous and personal interview that lasts an hour and a half. I was 9 months sober at the time and of course this came up. Not sure if it had anything to do with the rejection. They don't have to give a reason and they tell you that before. Big Brother is something I've always wanted to do, not having any kids, and it was very disappointing they didn't want me. Grateful for my wife's support. She cried and said they didn't know what they were missing. I felt good about that.

I'm sorry they turned you down Tallai - the criteria must be pretty exacting.

Thankful for sobriety which will allow me to drive home from tomorrow’s July 4 party, integral to our plans. Who would have thought!

Grateful for finally realizing, after twice relapsing in the last three years, that moderation was impossible for me, and that a routine of practicing daily gratitude, positive thinking, and exercise along with the support provided by my connecting to SR and from my wife have been the keys to continued sobriety. Approaching one year sober for the first time in the last 30 years.

Grateful for my late father. When he passed suddenly of a heart attack 16 years ago I was angry & felt I got robbed. This lasted for quite a while. Years. I truly believe that had this happened today I would not stay angry but be grateful, lucky to have had our time together.

Grateful for the little things that can become huge if you’re open to it. It can change your whole way of thinking.

Grateful for my mother’s advice & my long time doctor. When I moved into the city after school my mother said you need to find a doctor. That was 34 years ago & it’s the same doctor.

Our cat Pedro died today @ home. He was sick for 8 months. Grateful for the time we had together & for my wife who gave him daily fluids & prednisone, extending his life.
