Grateful that you are here too my friend. Here I am, not having the inclination or desire to cook and ordering my meals from Meals on Wheels. They are edible, but not sure if it is my taste buds or their dinners, but there doesn't seem to be much flavor. I think it is because they cook for others, not just for me. It is not there faultthat I use to add a lot of spice to my food.

So grateful for this program. The 12 Steps lead us to a better way of thinking which leads to better living.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that my computer is cooperating with me. I either get multiple letters or the key stick and I get no letter. It is very frustrating.
Grateful that I can see in the previous statement, it isn't my computer it is me.
Grateful that I got some sleep today.
Grateful that I can live this day one day at a time. Don't ask me what I did yesterday, probably amounts to nothing.
Grateful that I have a meeting to go to tomorrow. I missed the Sunday night meeting. I was in the land of nod while it was happening.
Grateful that I was able to read today. I haven't been able to do much lately.
Grateful my son talked me into paying for some munchies.
Grateful for a roof over my head, food in my pantry and refrigerator.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety. I have only been awake 4 hours, so not much of my day has gone by.
Grateful for the unknown callers who woke me up today.
Grateful that I have food to eat. I didn't cook extra veggies to go with my TV dinner but did bring out my cranberry jelly to go with my turkey TV dinner.
Grateful for this program of recovery.
Grateful that I qualify for several fellowships and I can look at myself from all directions. My disease wasn't just about alcohol.
Grateful how my God shows Himself in my life, doing for me what I can't do alone.
Grateful that my God uses people, places, and things to show me a new way of life.
Grateful that I don't have to use people, places, and things to get out of the Self. It is okay to be me and I can go within to connect with my God. When I do that, I can reach out to others for help and to helpnothers who travel this recovery road.
Grateful that I need to be spiritually fit to defend myself from that first drink and/or drug.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me, God Bless.

Grateful for another week of serenity. I think not. I had a big fall last Monday.
Grateful for my fall because it seemed to have put some things back in place. I just have to make sure I don't mess my neck up again. It has stopped hurting since I fell and I am able to hold my head up better.
Grateful for Meals on Wheels. They may be lacking in taste and quite bland, but they are healthy and they help me to put food in my body that is good for me. When I don't have the energy to cook, I end up grazing and not always picking up healthy foods.
Grateful that I made it to my home group tonight. We had a good sized meeting and great sharing.
Grateful for the Traditions. They are applicable to my home life as well as to the group.
Grateful for the Steps, they sure make a difference in my life.
Grateful for my sobriety. I don't have to drown my sorrows.
Grateful for the food I have to eat.
Grateful for the roof over my head.
Grateful for family and friends.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. It is hard to believe it is Saturday.
Grateful that this is a spiritual program that allows people from all religions to recover from the disease of addiction.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful that we don't have any snow.
Grateful that it is spring, even though the temperature doesn't feel very like it. It would be nice if the temperature sprung up a little bit.
Grateful for the roof over my head.
Grateful for Meals on Wheels, even though I couldn't eat all my dinner last night.
Grateful that I could stay awake to post yesterday. Then when I went to sleep, I only slept 1 1/2 hours after being awake almost 24 hours. Two nights in a row is a bit much, but we are trying for some acceptance.
Grateful that I have a bathtub. Wish to heck I could get down in it. ;)
Grateful I get to see my doctor today. I am thinking I should make a list before I go see him.
Grateful that my son has been able to help me.
Grateful that I can come here to share. Had to cancel Darts to go to the Sunday and Tuesday meetings.
Grateful that I can have Home Care which is going to connect me to wound care and come in and change the bandages on my feet. They are also going to help me with exercises to do since I haven't been able to be too mobile lately.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning.
Grateful for the program, I can get through a day and not let my pain dictate the day.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I feel like writing this, I am overdue.
Grateful that I made it to a NA meeting tonight.
Grateful to be going back to that group, it was a big part of my early recovery.
Grateful that i can go there and support it, The numbers are down and not as many people are going to it. It makes me sad.
Grateful for the food i have to eat. My son brought me a lemon poppy seed cake.

Grateful for my God who is there until such a time as i choose to ask Him to travel my recovery road with me. I try to remember to ask first thing in the morning, but sometimes, mornings are my bedtime and WE both get confused.
Grateful for the people who were put in my path along the way.
Grateful to Garfield who shows me when I am acting out in the isms (I, Self, Me) of my disease.
Grateful for the people who walk with me on my journey today. God Bless.

Thank you for sharing! This is a quick way for me to remember how grateful I truly am today! God' peace~

MajestyJo 04-21-2018 12:24 AM

Grateful for a day of sobriety. I don't know if it counts when you have slept most of the day away.
Grateful that i made it over to my NA home group and had the honour of chairing the meeting. I should say, nobody was doing it and it was past time to start so I took up the reigns. LOL!
Grateful that I went to bridge at the YWCA and played with a person I didn't know. I wasn't well enough to go today, so I don't know our score.
Grateful that this program is one day at a time. As you can see, I haven't posted my gratitude lately. It seemed like the words were not there. The keys on my computer have been sticking. I am finding that if I slow down it is better. The keys still don't go down sometimes and won't print, or I get multiple letters. I really don't like to make errors in my typing. If you are carrying the message of recovery, it should be legible.
Grateful that my son has gotten more work.
Grateful that I got to go to my sister's for Easter.
Grateful for the friends in the fellowships and my on line friends.
Grateful that I got to see my heart specialist, I am still waiting to hear from her. She was suppose to phone my pharmacy if my medication was to change. I told her that I thought I was on too much.
Grateful, i think that I went to the Surgical Clinic. I was told that my heart was not strong enough to withstand the surgery. It depended on what my surgeon had to say. So prayers would be appreciated.
Grateful that I have a forgiving, caring, and loving God.
Grateful that he gives my special gits like a connection with a new friend.
Grateful for all those who travel this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I got all the do thing done.
Grateful that I finally got to see my chiropractor, even though he was displeased with me and have to go back in a week to 10 days.
Grateful I managed to walk two blocks to the bus stop.
Grateful that the bus that stops across the street from the mall came along. I am grateful that I had the thought to pass on the first bus and take No. 2, and I acted on the thought.
Grateful that I got what I wanted at the pharmacy and more. You know those things you look at and you just have to have.
Grateful that when I got to the library that there were two items on the express shelf and not one, but two books that came in that I ordered.
Grateful that I accepted my limitations today. I picked up several items and planned to put them into their personal shopping bag. The cashier said, "We have none, how many bags do you want? I said, "None, I have no way of carrying them, I'll take these two items and you can put the rest back on the shelf."
Grateful that when I got to the bus stop, I waited and it didn't come. I realized I hadn't ate, so I walked up a block to A & W. Just as I got there, my bus went by. That was OK, I had me a cheese Buddy Burger with french fries, and a diet A & W root beer.
Grateful, I think, that I walk up the next block, and up to my apartment building. About 4 blocks in length, but all up hill.
Grateful after some Voltaren and some TLC, I took my sore feet, that had feltlike they were bleeding when I got home, across the street to my NA meeting.
Grateful that I had a padded seat on my walker to let people into the building.
Grateful that a friend got me a coffee when I went back up for the meeting.
Grateful that VON nurses have continued to come to bandage my foot. One foot is better.
Grateful to have some gratitude. It sure helps the attitude.
Grateful that my fingers felt like talking tonight.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Have only been up for 2 1/2 hours. Haven't done too much to mess up.
Grateful for my busy weekend. Haven't had too much busy, catching up on laundry isn't the kind of busy that is much fun. I was so tired, I left a load of laundry in a dryer and didn't get the clothes until the next day. Not one of my better moment. :(
Grateful that I got to my friend's 25 year anniversary on Sunday morning.
Grateful that Darts got me there and forgot to pick me up and had to be prompted to come and pick me up an hour after the meeting finished.
Grateful that I was able to walk downtown. (6 blocks)
Grateful that I found some new authors of murder and mayhem.
Grateful that my son went grocery shopping with me, even though my bill tends to be a wee bit higher than when I go alone.
Grateful he helped me get them home on the bus. He would have walked home, but went on the bus with me because he knew I was fatigued. He had to lift my walker onto the bus because it was piled down with grocery bags and 8 library books.
Grateful that Darts didn't forget me last night. They came just as the half hour was about to expire.
Grateful that I made it to the meeting, I got the thought that I just had to be there, not sure why. I was a walking hurting unit trying to get out of my apartment and came home from the meeting without a pain in my body. It came back a few hours later, but I was glad of the reprieve. When you suffer from chronic pain, it is nice to get a space of time without it.
Grateful that my son told me years ago,"Why stay home from a meeting when you know that you always feel better after being there. It doesn't make sense. I never forgot those words.
Grateful that my V.O.N. nurse is coming today. My foot is suppose to be healing and it still hurts really badly deep into the bone.
Grateful for the program. It gives me many blssings that I need to be grateful. Those little thing add up to big things, generally good things and/or the tools to deal with the not so good.
Grateful that my God hasn't given up on me.
Grateful that this is a one day at a time program. It gives me a chance to try for a better day tomorrow.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful even when I had to remind myself to be grateful.
Grateful on the days I can put my pain aside and not let it dictate my day.
Grateful that I was able to remain some sense of serenity, even though I have had to battle my lap top all week.
Grateful that I got to see a new technician at the foot clinic. Not sure what her title is.
Grateful that my doctor has ordered a bone density and a MRI. I had to cancel my Dart ride to my meeting tonight. You could say I didn't have a leg to stand on.
Grateful that there are only 4 more hours left in this day.
Grateful I had a TV dinner in my freezer until such a time as I had to eat it.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety. I hesitated to say sobriety because I feel like didn't do what I should have done, even though it can be done any time, it got put on th back burner because of busy, my health and the weather, which in truth it is my thinking that can lead me astray and say not today.
Grateful that I am at least mobile. It may hurt to walk, but i have feet and legs, while others don't. Diabetes can be a deadly thing, especially when I don't do what I should do. Have no one to blame but myself.
Grateful that I can see things as they truly are. It is up to me to do something about it.
Grateful that I have the procedure to find out if I have cancer slinking around inside of me. I thought it was going to be cancelled because he said I was too frail. Apparently my heart specialist doesn't agree with him and it is to be done I have a letter in the mail with instructions. I go on the 17 at 10 a.m. and have all day appointments on the 23rd.
Grateful that Darts will get me there even if it is often an hour early.
Grateful for the sunshine today. Too bad I didn't go out and catch some healing rays.
Grateful that my son cooked me a delirious chicken dinner with stuffing, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and I made the gravy from the drippings.
Grateful that my God is always present.
Grateful that I have a program. It is up to me to put it into action.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day clean and sober. I was really grateful that I had a program to apply to my day. It was not easy being me.
Grateful I got a ride even though I was way early, but they took me early. Glad it was good for them, not so good for me as I had to waited 5 hours to go back after the dye did it's things, so I could have my picture taken, my feet that is, not the rest of me. I would have broke the camera.
Grateful this was a stroll in the park compared to next Wednesday, I think it is suppose to be a white blood cell test which will take 8 hours from start to finish. Grateful that I was able to book Darts for a ride there.
Grateful that I had a meeting tonight. Went over and opened up early, only no one was available because of ORCNA. Ontario Regional Conference of Narcotics Anonymous.
Grateful for a memory or two of when I was Zone Sports Officer and put on bowling, darts, euchre and cribbage tournaments. Seemed like every time I went to Collingwood, I got wasted. Glad I don't have to do that any more.
Grateful for the newcomers who remind me of the way. They remind me to get back to basics.
Grateful for the opportunity to share my journey with you.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.
