My Gratitude list for today~ Jan 17th, 2021...


Woke up this morning... didn't come to...
Knew where the car was, didn't have to hunt for it or see if it was wrecked.
Didn't have to check to see how I was dressed or not when I woke up...
Didn't have to see who I was next to and wonder where I was when I woke up today...
Didn't hurt my children's feelings yesterday...
Didn't lie, cheat or steal yesterday...
Didn't create a ordeal to have an excuse to do what I wanted to do... didn't need an excuse to be a decent human being... always needed an excuse to be a drunk and high tornado in everyone's lives...
I have an awesome HP
I am forgiven
I am clean and sober... Happily... <3
I can be of service to others these days... drunk and high I couldn't even help my own self and didn't care..
I am grateful for the snow outside. I am also grateful I am INSIDE....
I am grateful for the program... for the 12 steps... for prayer and meditation... for amends... for introspection and for honesty.
I am grateful I don't hate me or my life today... I am grateful I am not looking for a way to check out... I am grateful I love life today.

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.
