When i'm feeling grateful...
Permalink  
 


...I don't feel like getting loaded! Just thought i'd throw that out there. I'm just listening to some relaxing music, reflecting a little on just how low I was 10 and a half months ago compared to where i'm at today and what i've got going on in my life right now, the path i'm on right now...I feel so lucky to be where i'm at, so many people I couldn't have done it without.

Concentrate on what you're grateful for, it might just put you in a good mood!

Great post. My sponsor used to live a life of gratitude and I ended up getting caught up in this gratitude. Gratitude becomes infinite and it grows on us. He used to tell me that the hallmark of every good recovery is gratitude. Service comes naturally to a grateful heart.

Yes, nice reminder today.  An attitude of gratitude.  The good thing is it keeps getting better the more we work at recovery.

A grateful alcoholic will not drink... One of those "they say in AA" quotes.

My best days are when I can jack up my attitude of gratitude (with the help of y'all & my higher power) into an attitude of gladitude!

This is something I have to learn. I have so many things I should be grateful for but I am not. I don't know why I am not. I guess right now my alcoholic mind is still sick and needs much more time and healing. I really want to make my life more simple but it is just so complicated right now. It seems I'll never get to live simply.
