I am very gratful to be here each and everyday,alive and clean.I haf to learn the true description of grateful all over again.Those years of nothing,deriliction,stealing,conning,not knowing were the next meal came from was no good and no life I ever want again.
Hey Tisa! how ya doin! Same for me,I know there is a reason I,m still here and Im thankful everyday for the blessing of a life in recovery.Lot of banana peels coming lately and I been slipping a little but I aint falling down!Sometimes it seems so far removed and other times it seems like yesterday!bottom line is I'll never forget where I came from and for that I am tryuly grateful!!

I maintain my attitude of gratitude by just looking around-being able to notice the birds singing, and the little things I would not have noticed when I was in active addiction; then I look at my son and my husband-so grateful that I still have them in my life; and most of all I keep in contact with God-He is the main reason I keep my attitude of gratitude. Great question Tisa!

Lately this has been a struggle for me. Life right this second is just HARD. For me, I need to actually write it down. Remembering just how bad life used to be and looking around and how much worse it COULD be, keeps me grateful.
