What I'm thankful for

[quinn]

Excellent topic phoenix. I'm thankful for:

The extremely obvious and non-stop lying of my stbx. It freed me from the fantasy that he loved me.
HP showing me the way into a new life.
Friends and family showing up to be supportive in ways I never expected.
The DSL line. I don't think I'll ever get over how instant internet access changes everything.
California sunshine. Every morning looks like another happy day (even when it's not.)
This board and dear LA friends.

hehe.. wouldn't it be awful to have a tatoo of someones name that you no longer want in your life!! God was watching you that day for sure

I am so thankful right now and I want to appreciate this present moment where I am truly thankful for the life I have been given based on what I have built for myself. Its my 6 months anniversary being by myself since I started the love addiction programme and I am so thankful for the friends and support i've recieved from the fellowship, so much so it brings me to tears at times.

I'm incredibly thankful for my sanity today as its been 4 years this autumn that i've been stable from bipolar depressions, Thank you Father God.

I'm thankful that I am able bodied and able to see the beauty of Gods kingdom. I'm thankful for my desire to thank God each morning for what he has taken away and what he is showing me my life is about today. So thankful for my faith.

I'm thankful for the agrowing ability to accept my parents for who they are and for my self acceptance which I will pray for daily actually. So thankful for my gorgeous little dog peanut who makes me laugh everyday without fail!

Thank you for asking this question Pheonix, thank you for being here guys, I'm so thankful for you all.

Mwah, Vee

I'm very thankful that I have my recovery friends because if I didnt have this fellowship I don't know what would have happened to me.

I'm thankful I'm still alive , while at this time last year I was in a very dark place.

I'm thankful I am no longer lying or cheating or deceiving myself or the ones I love.

I'm thankful that the nightmare rollercoaster ride is over.


I'm thankful for my daughters. I'm thankful that I have my husband. My family. My beautiful house. my job. Food in the fridge.

I'm thankful for my dance lessons and the fact that my obsessive thoughts are mostly about dance steps these days.

I'm still thankful for all the things I mentioned in the post above.

I'm immensely thankful I am no longer in the throes of this deadly disease.

Thank you God for always being there to pick me up when I fall and for rminding me over and over again in my lifetime that I am worthy of Your love.

I have been thinking a lot about how blessed I am. I have a loving husband and wonderful family. I took my H for granted and in the fog thought I had something better. Now I see how very wrong and misguided I was in my addiction and obsession. I am thankful to be free of both today and happy to have my life back. I am blessed to have been given another chance at a happy life with no repercussions. I feel blessed that God has not turned his back on me although I have on him.
I thank God every day for my true friends, many of whom I met here and have helped me over and over.
I have much too be thankful for today.
