Grateful

Just wanted to share that I'm a very grateful alcoholic today. My life has had a few ups and downs lately but when I hear of other people's challenges and some of the horrible stuff going on out there, it puts so much into perspective for me. There but for the grace of God...

Thanks for this, Least. In mine too. Love the quotes. Re. the dog ones, I'm like that about my cat. She also plays a big part in my sobriety!

I've come to believe that gratitude is the key to it all—my recovery, my day, my life. There's always something to be grateful for.... even if it's just the chance to make tomorrow a little better than today. Good for you, emmsie.

Hope the weekend treats you well. It's getting late over there, yes?

Hi Olivedog, Nice to meet you. Think we're 5 hours ahead of New York time. It's 17.45 over here at the moment and got dark well over an hour ago! Time to get the kettle on and into something cosy. Hope you are having a lovely day. :-)
