This morning in the meeting the topics were detachment and gratitude...as I sat here pondering the topics a thought came to mind. When I am detaching I can be in a mindset of gratitude. I know for me gratitude aids me in keeping my serenity. When I am feeling grateful for all I do have I do feel I'm in a place of peace and serenity. Serenity is a most precious gift I can give myself. Well, just a thought I wanted to share with all of you.
That's a great connection and helps to remind us to add even more gratitude. Funny how easy it is to forget the healthy things to do while the non healthy things just happen. A habit we will recover from eventually. Thanks for this idea,

Yes I can see more and more how an atmosphere of self pity gets me nowhere. I find it tantalizing stuff. I can also see how with the alcoholic their tendency to feel sorry for themselves really hurts them. I do nothing anymore to change that. I just model my own behavior of feeling better.
