Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day of sobriety. It doesn't look like I was too gracious, as it is a few days since I posted.
Grateful for a good day on Thursday at my home group. Two newcomer, two long-timers, and the regulars who showed up. It is good to have people with 42 and 47 years of recovery who come weekly to share with you.
Grateful that I made a step toward the laundry room. I put the cushion from my chair in the dryer. I have about 3 load of laundry calling me and one more may be hiding that I didn't find.
Grateful that I remembered that I had a can of corned beef in my refrigerator. I ate my dessert first (ice cream, frozen strawberries, and chocolate syrup). I only had two scoops of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate, with the lions share being the strawberries.
Grateful that I made it to my NA meeting tonight.
Grateful for the message that newcomer bring to me. It certainly is a whole lot worse out there now than when I was using. That doesn't make me a lesser kind of addict, a drug is a drug, it just makes me grateful that they do my research for me and I don't have to go out to see if this new stuff is worth going back out for. I think not!!!
Grateful for friends and family. Had brunch with a dear friend today.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. I need this program just as much in today as I did when I came through the doors of recovery in 1991.
Grateful that this is a living program. I still need to work the Steps and apply them to my life. It is a way of life that has kept me from the bondage of addiction. Drugs come in many forms, and they are not just meant for alcohol.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. Without you, there is no me. A little bird told me that if you keep coming, you won't have to come back.
