Most of all Im greatful that I wont be holed up in some roach infested hotel room serving up what may or may not be left of the dope. Wondering Why I did it again, How I got here, and When it will stop!! Wishing that I could be where I actually will be tommarrow.

Well I am greatful to be in recovery today. I got reminded of my past recently and those were some really bad days, years. Was reminded of a girl friend I had who died because of her addiction she was murdered by a drug dealer her father just passed away recently who was the kindest man I have ever met and she put him through so much sorrow.
Greatful for my health and the health and happiness of all my family and friends and greatful that all of you havefound your ways back to recovery also just a few less who have to suffer from addiction.
I am greatful to be a GSR of my home group and to have the KEYS to the meeting tonight.
I am greatful with another addict to cook and provide food for over 25 addicts and to open the meeting up 4 hours before hand for a place for others to come so no addict need be alone on a holiday.
I am greatful this giving spirit caught on and others in my group are willing to cook, go shopping, buy POP and help out.
I am greatful I AM NOT GOD! Thank you GOD for not allowing me to be judgemental.
I am learning to keep my mouth shut today, another member called me and told me of someone who got drunk yesterday. I didnt feed into "the gossip" I prayed in my heart she will make it back to the rooms. I am greatful I have today, I have a wonderful sponsor, and I have NA.
Grateful for the presence of a loving Higher Power in my recovery today
Grateful to a 'NA couple' friends who are visiting us in their vacation and for the identification with them for me and my wife in context of similar relationship issues
Grateful for the comfort of having my own transportation
Grateful for the courage and the ability to share honestly at the meeting and with my Sponsor today
