I am grateful....
Permalink  

I am so grateful to HP for helping me get to recovery and this board.  For helping me find a great sponsor to help me through.  For my job.  For the bad days that help me enjoy the good days even more.  For the moments when I slip, so that I can quickly come back to recovery.  For my bf who is sweet, kind, supportive, thoughtful and loving.  For my bf who came into my life and the reason I came to alanon.  For my two sweet healthy sons, without whom, I would probably not be here anymore.  For my therapist who sent me to the hospital last year when I was so sick and depressed I wanted to quit life.  For that moment that I admitted I wanted to die, that I can look back and say "wow I am glad to be alive".  For this great group here.  For all of the great books I have found to help me through my bad and good times, Courage to Change, The Language of letting Go, The New Codependency and Getting Them Sober.  For great morning cups of coffee, shared with my bf.  For my parents who raised me the best they could, for my grandmother who is always there for me and is a healthy 84 year old woman.  For the generations of people who came before me, that made me possible.  For my family of origin...  I am grateful and thankful for all of this and so much more. 
Rain or shine, good or bad, its all something to be grateful for.  And I am.  Thank you for letting me share and for reading this :)  Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and happy New Year!
(((HUGS!!)))

Life is truly a gift.  I too, have many, many things to be grateful for.  When a person stops and thinks about it, it is the little things that always mean the most.  Have a wonderful holiday season. Peace.

Beautiful Share Sunflower

I find that true Gratitude is the greatest gift of this program.  Before al anon I was unable to even say the word!!

  Today I can actually "Feel Grateful" and that is truly special gift of this program.

  So glad you ar here and I do hope you have a Happy Holiday  as well

Wonderful post and fabulous quotes. That's what I need to hear right now. I'm grateful for this Program that let's me come first, actually Higher Power and me. We are a team. Anyway back to me, (ha-ha) it's so wonderful to give myself attention, encouragement and more attention. For so many years I was lost in others, waiting for them to give to me what I already had. My meetings, Al-Anon friends, sponsor and this board remind me that it's okay to just be, breathe and be some more. Thank you
