Too many to list, I'd be here all night.

But mostly, I'm just thankful to be alive.

That is one very cute kitty you got there, Art. x

Loving relationships with sweet husband, sons, and mother (thank you, sobriety)
My dogs
A toasty home
Fresh flowers on the table
Chinese food for lunch
An impending vacation from work
My clear (though cluttered) mind (thank you, sobriety)
The absence of shame (thank you, sobriety)

Thankful for?
My wonderful wife who supports me and saved my life.
Finally realizing that sober is a much better way to live.
This forum, the individuals that are it's heart & soul, and their collective sage advice.

Thankful for my sobriety!
For this forum and all the people I've "met" here
My husband and our animals
Our home
Our jobs and the ability to support ourselves
I'm also thankful for hope these days...
Meaning - it is where I find it.
The unexpected - life may be full of changes, but they aren't all bad!

Our kitty.

Our home.

Our jobs.

Financial stability.
