My Gratitude List for Today... Jan 18, 2021
1) Today is the day the love of my life passed away 4 years ago. I am grateful for the time we had together and the children we had together.
2) I am grateful for all the technological advances this world has made that help us stay in communication, especially during covid restrictions.
3) I am grateful for online meetings.
4) I always felt like I was missing the manual to life, until I found the rooms and the program. I am grateful for both.
5) I am grateful that I have learned to think things through all the way to the end. All that glitters is not gold.
6) I am very grateful that people in the program warned me that that persistent voice would come and tell me I could successfully drink or drug and handle it better or control it (THIS TIME)... it would be the voice of my addiction trying to lure me back in to what I knew so well.
7) I am grateful for being able to clear off the wreckage of the past and then begin to see gemstones here and there that I had discarded or ignored before.
8) I am grateful for another day clean and sober, to learn, to live and to grow.
9) I am grateful for my puppy that loves to play.
10) I am grateful that I can use the spiritual tools daily in my life to keep from living the way I used to live.
11) I am grateful that I don't have to play the chameleon in my life today. I can be the same person at home, the store, with my family, with my friends, in a meeting, or anywhere else I go and I don't have to juggle who I'm pretending to be.
12) I am grateful for this website and everyone who shares on it.
