1. I am grateful for HP 2.I am grateful for a roof over my head 3. I am grateful for my children 4.I am grateful for all of you who teah me so many wonderful things to help inprove my life. 5.I am grateful for my recovery and all I have learned 6. I am grateful to be alive smelling flowers touching soft spring green grass and tasteing water when the rain falls,and feeling the most wonderful gift of all My HP love for me. 7.I am grateful for the alcoholics in my life and I am grateful for my moms death If mom was alive I would have NEVER found you all or Al-anon Mom had that much of a grip on me but when she died i felt sad but relieved I could finally find me!!! 8. I am grateful for being able to say i am grateful for my alcoholic family because I would again never found Al-anon and i would have been in the same SICK UGLY behavior i was in believing in denial and thinking i had a perfect family life..... 9. I am grateful for a man who Tries to be there for me but is teaching me to heavly put all my trust in HP and let him be my comforter strength and wisdom 10. I am grateful that I can truely see what I need to keep the focus on me and How much my peace of mind depends on my recovery!!! 11. i am grateful to HP for helping me to have the courage to walk through the doors of al-anon 2 years in May04 and I am grateful i found this place in feb05 It has been a true blessing!!! 12. I am grateful for the newcomers because i know how there feeling i felt the same but glad i kept comming back and that was hard when your trust as been betrayed in al-anon by a al-anon person who I had slowly become to trust 13. I am grateful for not allowing that to discourage me but to keep me heading forwards but i must admit if it wasn't for this chatt room and a LOVELY SWEETHEART who in spirit put her arms around me and showed me she truely cared for me I am not i be here all..... 14. i am grateful for my home group here that loves me unconditionally even when i had to step away for awhile and clear my stinking thinking head But i am back now!!! 15. I am grateful for loving and understanding of my HP and for STEP 8 (even through i am working on it ssssllloooowwwlllyyy) 16. I am grateful for some wonderful awesome church friends that have seen me grow and has even told me so it feels good to be changing and not feel like the stupid kid of the family with all the mistakes.... 17. iam grateful for the courage HP has given me to change me deep deep down inside It feels so good!!!! 18. i am grateful for the food and clothing and for the extra small blessing HP has given us since my hubby was laid off 4 months ago HP is good he is taking care of our needs what more can i ask for!!!!
Well that is all for now thanks for letting me share my Graditude list with you all!!!!!
I'm so glad you are here. I know I need the reminder to put that gratitude up front and not dewell on the pain or the things I wish were different. There are always things to be grateful for even in the heaviest times.
Sometimes I just ask Hp to open my eye to those things, the things that Hp provides for me that carry me thru. I've found this works every time.
