Gratitudes
I've had a very rough week. I wanted to drink. I was not spiritually fit. I as/and am angry. Still, I am grateful. Grateful to be sober. Grateful for SR. Grateful for how far I have come. I wish I could snap my fingers and be all better...but I cannot. Recovery, for me, has been baby steps and falls. I keep getting up and dusting myself off and I am grateful I am willing to do that. What are YOU grateful for today?

I'm grateful for Sr!
The sunshine
My kids
Puppy love
Working my way towards security, health and contentment
Hummingbirds and wood pecks
My friends
Fluffy blankets
Vacuum cleaners and yummy smelling cleaning soaps (its the little things, lol)
Sharing in your paths of life
Music (Beatles for me today)
Hope
Faith
Courage
And being able to find those little bits in me once again

Love this thread! I'm grateful for:
My beautiful, healthy family
My own health (more or less!)
My stable, well-paying job
68 days of sobriety
My sense of hope and optimism about the future
Coffee and Diet Coke
The internet
My bed

Thanks for posting such a positive message.
What am I grateful for today?
Ah... The clarity in my head ...
What I mean is the clarity of being alcohol free and not having my brain all cloudy with the "drug" and the morning/day after feeling down and out.

Sobriety is indeed a journey, days, weeks, months, years, but it can be done if we keep going at it.
For me, I was driving home from work this afternoon, and had a sense of gratitude that I have a job, I have my health, I have some savings, I have a family that care about me, and Saturday afternoons are no longer consumed by hangovers!!
