Gratitude
Today, I'm especially grateful for ...
- being 232 days sober
- my kickass homegroup
- the warm fire the guys built at the outside meeting tonight
- meeting up for coffee, hot chocolate, music, and dice after the meeting tonight :)
- this program focusing on making progress ... sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly
- my adorable dog, who can hardly walk due to a recent hip injury -- yet he gets up and runs to see me when I walk in the door. I pray that I will learn that kind of enthusiasm in my life, that I would get up and run to God and to others with enthusiasm regardless of the pain.
- my supportive family
- not working in retail today ("Black Friday" is a scary day to work in retail!)
- my new mp3 player. They've started playing instrumental Christmas music over the speakers at work. Yeah. The kind that makes you go nuts. Thank GOD for the mp3 player ...
- my car works! Woohoo!
- Thanksgiving leftovers
- the beautiful sunshine and cool breeze today
- feeling accepted
- finding myself sincerely caring for others and their situations
- staying sober this week
- calling other alcoholics, and them being willing to talk to me
- God, because when I feel most alone, I'm most able to feel Him with me.

thank you for that lovely list. what a pleasure to read! I can really identify with it. especially what you say about your dogs. animals are extraordinary and can be very wise teachers. they see a lot more than we realize. well i think so anyway.
That's such a cool list (hope the dog gets well soon).
What are you going to load onto the mp3? Lots of Ramones and punk rock? :-D
Have a great day and a wonderful USA hol.
Congrats on 232 - ODAAT.

Thanks :)
Ramones? Punk Rock? Hey, I like everything! Right now, I'm listening to U2, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Green Day, and Goo Goo Dolls. Time for more music though ...
"that I would get up and run to God and to others with enthusiasm regardless of the pain."
WOW -- yes! me too! I love reading your posts. Congrats on another day sober!
Excellent list
Keep it up. Just stay clean and sober.
Greeting from Malaysia.
