Will try to be grateful for what I have. This time last year I was in despair, in the throes of addiction and totally unable to function. Now, I'm so much better than I was. I mustn't ever forget that.
My gratitude list:
I have God in my life again
I am in recovery
I am intelligent
I am talented
I am youthful
I am attractive
I have two wonderful daughters.
My h is alive and I DO love him
I have a job
I have money in the bank
I have a beautiful house
I'm also very sensitive ( why is it I get tears welling up in my eyes whenever anybody says anything nice about me? )
I have a sense of humour and I AM a good friend
EDITED:
I really need to add something to my gratitude list. How silly of me to forget as this is the reason I'm not locked up somewhere or worse still six feet under.
I am truly grateful for my very dear recovery friends. The people I look forward to hearing from on the board and off . You have literally saved my life and it is this contact with you that has me convinced that recovery is the only way for me to get my life back on track.
I feel as if I am valued when I'm here with you more than you will ever know.

P.S. Please write your own gratitude list on this thread. Even if you can't think of much right now because you're in early recovery, I'm sure we all have something to be thankful for. As the fog of addiction lifts, as we get more and more recovery, we can keep adding to our list and map our progress.
