Today I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that I can be bothered to do something for someone else for a change. Busy planning a surprise 80th for my Dad at the moment.
I am grateful for my partner. It is so wonderful to be loved for who I am.
I am grateful that I found God and was given the wonderful gift of having that alcoholic obsession removed.
I am grateful to be sober. I work in a rehab now and see the mayhem that people are creating in their lives every day at work. Grateful tht i stepped off that merry-go-round.
Grateful for fresh raspberries - to be able to appreciate such a simple pleasure.

Good morning~
Today I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow from the lessons life hands me.
Today I am grateful for the many, many sober women who have gone before me that reach out and help me along when I am hurting or going through things.
Today I am grateful that I am a sober Mom and Nana. That the program of Alcoholics Anonymous has given my children a gift of having a sober Mom.
Today I am grateful that I get to be of service to my husband and help him walk through his own stuff, that I don't have to get enmeshed in his stuff, but rather apply the traditions and when he asks, offer suggestions not "you need to do this". This is all a result of the new way of life that God has blessed me with.

I am grateful for time spent with my daughter and family while preparing for the birth of my 3rd grandchild....
Today i am grateful that when I look deeply I can see where an action might be driven by a character defect and I need to stop and pray and ask for guidance.
I hope the prayer will allow me to make an appropriate decision in a rather awkward family situation and not let my self-centered desires be the focus of my decision making.
I am grateful for my partner and his support in talking me through this situation, especially as the outcome will affect him too. I'm grateful to have a partner in recovery where we can gently help each other see the truth of something. I'm grateful that I can admit I may be wrong. I'm grateful I can open my mind to other solutions.
wow what a lot to be grateful for in one area!

OMG just laughing at my last post on this thread, the wedding is only 2 months away now - can't believe how quickly that time has flown.
Getting married again at 49 to a fantastic sober man who treats me like a princess and thinks i'm wonderful and beautiful! Wow and he's not even wearing beer goggles! LOL
I have to pinch myself in fact at how lucky I am, but I'm so blessed with all these things and I would have none of it if I picked up a drink.
You know I allowed my ex to treat me like sh** and I probably treated him like that too. But we don't deserve that. We all deserve a caring, loving relationship built of trust and sharing and honesty and selflessness.

Today I am grateful to see this thread towards the top of the messages...
Today I am so very grateful that when I was in the grasps of addiction and knew no way out, that I stumbled across this site (ha, God lead me).
Today I am grateful that I am an active member of both Alcoholics Anonymous & Alanon and when I work both programs together, the freedom and joy I have is indescribable.
Today I am grateful for the women & men who I meet here over 13 years ago and many of them are still currently and actively in my life.
Today I am grateful that we can carry the message of Hope. That if you are struggling with alcohol and think like I did, that my fate was to just die alcoholic, that is just the disease talking to you. There is a way, there is hope and there's a host of people so willing to help you receive the priceless gift of recovery. All you need is a little willingness and to reach out and ask for help.
