Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful I had a sober day. Can't say I had sobriety when I slept 11 of the hours of the day away.
Grateful that I have freedom of choice. My bed is calling to me again. I am also hearing my TV saying your shows are on and you are behind in your tennis.
Grateful that it is moment by moment, and more will be revealed as I move on into a new day. There is no rush as I only have about 40 min. left in this day.
Grateful that I have food to eat, even if I don't feel like eating it. I feel like making cookies, but don't have the energy to make them. I am thinking of oatmeal chocolate if I can find a recipe I only have coco, not the square or chips.
Grateful that what I saw of it, the sun did come out. If there was a storm, I didn't hear it.
Grateful my son was here, even though I am still waiting for him to do my floors and finish my painting. He takes after his mother, starts something and has trouble finishing it. It must be the addict in him.
Grateful that with a bit of an argument and a few choice words, my computer is working. I must may have to get myself a new one when I get my refund back. I have worn a lot of the lettering off the keys and some of the keys don't want to go down when I press on them. I have to be very aggressive with them in order for them to print.
Grateful that it is one day at a time.
Grateful for much more I am sure, just not thinking of it in the moment.
Grateful for my God, so glad He is willing to put up with me.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for the tools of recovery.
Grateful for the sunshine, it always puts a smile into my day.
Grateful that I got some housework done today.

Grateful that I made it to my NA meeting tonight.
Grateful that no matter what is going on in your life, when you go to a meeting, you will hear what you need to hear.
Grateful for my food and my home.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. My days are sometimes longer than others, while others are short and seem to disappear.
Grateful that I don't have to use to make the hours disappear. All I wanted to do was shut down and make the world go away.
Grateful for all the people who share this journey with me. Hoping your angel is watching over you.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety, and the chance to start anew.
Grateful that recovery taught me that a day can start any time, and that each new day is a new beginning. Erase, delete, do better next time.
Grateful that I survived my fall although I am nursing some hurts tonight. My body is breaking out in spots for sure, some I had forgotten about and hoped not to hear from again.
Grateful that no one can see the beautiful bruises I am sporting. They run from my lower back, down my left him to about my knee. The skin came off my arm and it is swollen and bruised too. I sure did a number on myself.
Grateful that it is my bedtime, I need to put the feet up.
Grateful that my son and I went together for a late dinner, grilled cheese sandwiches, which he made and potato salad that took me hours to put together, but it was tasty.
Grateful I go to the foot clinic tomorrow, the tootsies are looking the worse for wear.
Grateful that the weather has been good while I was out today, didn't need to do much dodging of the drops, coming home from my AA meeting.
Grateful that I made it to my group, we had a good crowd.
Grateful for all those that walk this journey with me. God Bless.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I have had an abundance of sleep. Much more healing than what I normall get. 12 hours yesterday and 10 1/4 hours today.
Grateful that I listened to the voice that said, "Go to bed last night instead of picking up the converter and watching TV."
Grateful that my vision has cleared. I was very worried about it as it was burred and after my doctor said I had near perfect vision.
Grateful that my son cooked dinner last night and I am hoping he will do it again, even if it is the same, hamburgers and tater tots. They sure tasted good last night.
Grateful that my son bandaged my arm even though he freaked at the site of the whole arm which he had never seen. Two spots still bleeding and three spots raw and the rest black and blue.
Grateful that some of the bruising has gone out of my hip and leg.
Grateful that I got an appointment at the Holistic Center to get a treatment on my neck. I has been paining a lot. I sure did a number on mysef between the fall last week and the one three weeks ago.
Grateful there must be a message there some where. Didn't think I was moving too fast. Maybe he is telling me to cut back on my time on the computer. I have left three groups this past week. Time to take another inventory.
Grateful for the 12 Step Program. Even if I don't know, it will tell me if I practice the Steps in all areas of my life.
Grateful for the blessing I receive by sharing with you.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a day of sobriety, even though it is only half way through. I am still waiting to eat lunch.
Grateful that I woke up to sunshine. Getting much better at this morning thing, woke up at 10 am on my own.
Grateful that my son made potato salad even though I think he went overboard on the onion. I think they call that a left handed compliment.
Grateful that my sister went into the hospital and didn't wait too overly long, which she has a habit of doing. She even canceled a couple of appointments to go.
Grateful that I booked Darts to go to a meeting tonight and Tuesday. The group tonight needs support and is my old home group in NA.
Grateful for Darts, even though I do cuss them once in a while (trying to do better on that), they will pick me up from the hospital on Monday and take me to the hospital my sister is in, and then bring me home. I have the follow up from when I was in the hospital to see what is causing me to fall.
Grateful that I have lots of Kleenex as my nose wants to run off my face. I think I am running a fever too, so not going to see my sister today. Taking some Echinacea.
Grateful that my friend Theresa is giving me my pin on Thursday. No one knows me like she does.
Grateful that I was able to celebrate in NA on Friday. It was a celebration for NA, left to my own devises, I would not have celebrated because I have only been back in NA for two months. It was great to have so many people new in recovery there. Too bad they don't get the support from long-timers in the fellowship. It was one of the reason why I joined the group. I hope it isn't like that in other groups in the fellowship. Sadly, membership and attendance at meetings is down. I am thinking that a lot of people who goo through treatment think they have done all the Steps and don't need meetings any more. Sadly, all they have done is an extensive 1st Step, and when they get to their 1st year, then the work begins. It takes 11 months to detox.
Grateful for the program. The suggestions are laid down for us. There are some darn well betters, or you will go back out. I have seen it happen far too many times, worse still when they go back out, it takes a long time for them to come back if they make it. I know I had 2 sponsees who didn't want to work the program, went back out and died.
Grateful for those who follow my journey with me. God Bless.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a sober day that fell far short of sobriety.
Grateful that to slip emotionally, doesn't mean I have to physically pick up.
Grateful for the tools of recovery, they can help us not fall when we have a slip and fall back into an old behavior.
Grateful that I have had a lot of practice trying to get this program right one day at a time.

Grateful that I remembered to take my blood pressure before I had my nap. I have been calling myself the walking dead. 118/42/pulse 51.
Grateful that I treatment myself to fish and chips today.
Grateful for my next door neighbor, she gave me two chocolate macaroons after my group. Couldn't just have one, but did stop at two, even though it was offered.
Grateful for her dog, Spencer. He had his coat on, I wasn't the only one feeling the cold.
Grateful for my AA home group who had a celebration for me on Thursday. I celebrated in NA last week.
Grateful it is one day at a time. Today was a hurting day and all I can do is push through the pain, and remember that picking up doesn't make it better or take it away. It compounds the interest.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful that my nap turned out to be a nap not a sleep-a-log.

Grateful we had a good attendance at my group and we had a couple of newcomers. Yeah!!!

Grateful that I got to Unity Day. I think I was to one years ago, so long ago, I can`t be sure.

Grateful that the lump on my leg has diminished greatly. I can hardly feel it.
Grateful that my level of pain has diminished.
Grateful for the food I like to eat. It sure makes a difference. It also depends on whether it is good for you. Unfortunately me eating half a strawberry/rhubarb pie is not good for me of me to have eaten it.
Grateful that I got to the chiropractor this week. He helped with the easing of the pain in my neck and made it easier for Bill to put things in place.
Grateful that I got a 12 Step call yesterday, it was as though my God knew I needed a meeting, and He sent someone to me.
Grateful for NA, today I booked rides to the Sunday and the Tuesday night meetings.
Grateful that I got to the anniversary of my AA group on Thursday. I am debating as to whether I am going to stay with the group, or just go to AA. I am not getting what I needed from the group, although I hesitate to leave it because of the long time sobriety that goes there.

Grateful for friends and family.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I got to see my doctor. I asked to see him specifically and he listened.

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Couldn't lose today, slept most of the day away.
Grateful that the sun was shining. It was really windy, but not as cold as yesterday.
Grateful that I was able to walk to the bus stop on the way home from the hospital.
Grateful that I listened to myself, even though I had to give myself a tug or two, and came straight home and didn't go to the mall.
Grateful that there was a homeless girl by my bus stop. She made me aware of how much I have to be grateful for. When I bought my slice of pizza, the girl cut it in half. I took the smaller half of my Canadian pizza, and gave her the rest. Her sign said "Anything would be appreciated." Know I am not suppose to tell of a good deed, that it makes it nil and void, but that is okay, I am not counting points.
Grateful that I had my strawberries and cinnamon and raisin bagel before I went for my ultra sound. Truthfully, that is probably why I was willing to share my pizza slice.
