Hey Tammie - good to see you!

Awesome about you giving up smoking - me too! I quit on the 9th so it's early days. There's so many members who have quit in the past few months. Come and see us on the Nicotine Forum! :hug:

I have to say I am grateful I DO feel pain now...........I was pretty mad earlier, laying on the couch wondering when does the pain ever end? Just one dang sickness after another..........and then it dawned on me.........

I AM FEELING PAIN=I AM ALIVE!!! So...I am thankful I CAN feel now. And that I am sober enough to give a care and DO something about it......not just medicate it away and avoid it.

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOO HUGE for me.............helps the pain just thinking how far I actually have come...that's what I love about this place...it brings such clarity.....and keeps me from drowning on my own toxic thoughts.

Thankful for SR.and to be *Home Sweet Home* again.......

I am all around grateful today............feeling overall contented and at peace.
Started some worrying last night but immediately went into a thankful list and only focused on the positive, and the possible.

My poor hubby. He is buying his first big rig with a company here in PA..well the runs have been slow, the money even slower and he literally runs on fumes each tank of fuel....Last night he had to go 60 miles with the fuel gauge on EMPTY. He kept hitting traffic back ups....I prayed all evening, Please God let him make it.....he did!! Thankful also this weeks check is larger than we both had predicted...so we can put more back into the truck.

I am grateful for everyone who has shared their pets' stories and especially my favorite.....their kitty pictures.(the doggy pics were great too though!) LOL....it really made my day today......thanks!! :)

I am grateful to have made some snail mail pals today!!! Can't wait to start getting some mail,a nd it makes me very happy to send out cards with little surprises in them. It has been a good day. I am thankful for good day's like this.

I am sooooo thankful my husband and I had a great weekend together. Even some alone time..........Grateful for a much needed relaxing weekend!


:HulaDance :e058: :HulaDance

I am soooo grateful today that my dad is helping me get not one, but TWO computers!!!..and a 20 in flat panel monitor, & a leather chair. This one I am on is already giving me he$$ and I just recently got back on it!! I am just thankful it is working out so well.....can let the kids use one......and I get the other.......LOL...I don't like sharing my computer time...I will share ANYTHING else! Not my puter time!!!

:e058:

I am grateful I have health insurance for an affordable price. For sooo mnay times I was unable to get any. I may not like what I am finding out but I am grateful to be able to seek treatment. MY heart and prayers go out to those who have no health coverage. *Hugs*

:)

I am thankful for two things today................

SPRING and SR :bun5

A little birdy wispered in my ear
Not enough easter eggs today.......

Grateful to have been blessed by miracle/Trish...may you rest in peace.

(((((((Thank you for all you gave to us))))))))

So thankful for my pets today........... :Valdog:

Dear HP~
Keep me grateful today
thankful for all that I have
the material possessions are leaving
and sometimes I fear my true love
is also gone.................I hurt so bad inside,
but yet I am thankful that I'm alive
and sober enough to deal with it all
head on........Please dear God keep a spirit of gratitude within me
as I walk this dark road...........grant me a spirit of love
and acceptance to do that which I can...and do it well...and peace that God knows what she's doing with the 'rest'.......
If I should lose this house please keep a spirit of home within my heart
If I should lose my husband let me not be bitter
If the lab tests come back with unpleasant news keep me
strong and grateful for all that I DO have......
I am thankful for recovery..for my friends and my "HOME" here at SR
I am thankful for my children who teach me so much
I am thankful for my dreams........and I am thankful that in any storm there
can be peace........there can be serenity........thankful for choices.
Please God help me make the right ones...........

With gratitude to my HP for helping lead me this far...~Tammie

((((Tammie))))

I am grateful for YOU and SR and my whole recovery family. We CAN get through anything just the way you wrote your post.

Adding my prayers to yours right now.

:grouphug:

(((((Phinny)))))~ Thank you for the prayers. I am really scared right now and sad about what we stand to lose.........could be almost every material possession we own. I have had a distinct 'gut feeling' and 'knowing' these past months that my HP has plans in store for me that I may not realize what they are but things need to be rearranged, lost in order to be gained. I have made it through other stressful times with an attitude of gratitude and plan to do so this time.
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers..I am so grateful to you also and SR for the blessings and unconditional love and support.

I am thankful I have friends here who love me just how I am.....thank you.

Dear God....I want to be thankful and full of gratitude

but I am not 'feeling' very thankful at the moment.....

I am thankful my brother has been found alive....suicidal...but alive

I love him and I am so worried about him.........

I am very grateful today........

For my LIFE
my children who teachme all I REALLY need to know!
for my husband..who is working with me on our marriage...
supporting me writing a recovery book! He ACTUALLY told me he thinks it would be a best seller!!!! HE DOES believe in me.......I had been believing he hated me.......As I have come to understand though...he was hurt more
than I could bear to believe about my addiction years...........the suicide attempts....the days of paranoia and hate and rage....and sickness.while he kept on working........kept on doing the next right thing.kept telling me zI coudl make it........he was threatened at first by my recovery process
I now drive........I leave the house.....I am trying to build a career and contribute financially..........I voice my opinions......I stand up for myself.I don't pop a pill and retreat.................
he has been scared I would leave him.........he lives in great physical pain....and ha shis own emotional issues also......it isn't all about mE......
I have hope for my marriage today!!!!!!!!! That brings tears of joy.........I love my husband sooooo much. We are talking civil to each other.......

Just got off the phone with him and he was sharing some tips for my research.....how to get money to do so.........
HE LOVES ME!! He was just scared.........and I was too busy to shut my mouth.and allow him to adjust to the new me........he is gone all week so
we have basically a long distance relationship.........he couldn't come home this weekend.......it's hard for him.....very hard.

Had to share that............I am just amazed at what love and understanding can accomplish.

Your daughter is beautiful, copierguy!

It can get better my friend....I had to fake it til I made it at first......hated being sober.....hated using...hated life.........you know the drill....

Gratitude journals helped me alot...............**************{hugs}}}}}}}}

I am grateful when others help me to "see" what I am missing. Grateful for honest sharing........and true caring.

Thank you SR for all you gave me. I hoped to return what I could. I think I have, mostly. It is time to move on now. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart all who helped me, all who loved me right where I was, who cheered me on..who listened with me, cried with me, laughed and joked with me....I will always carry you in my heart.............always.
It's now time for me to live on the sunnier side of Doubt. Time to to move on.
