I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that I have been a part of this community for 5 years and that despite my thousands of starts and stops I keep coming back and haven’t given up, despite feeling frustrated with myself.
I am grateful that I realize that I am the only one who can control what I drink or don’t drink. No one else can do this for me.
I am grateful that it is never too late to get it right and that if I want sobriety enough I will do whatever it takes to make it stick.
I am grateful for all that I have learned so far during this journey and that I plan to dig deeper and try harder.
I am grateful to still be here with you all.

the manager was just happy I showed up, for the tenth straight day and that meant she didn’t have to cook until ten at night, originally I was not scheduled for today. I’m grateful I took the bus home, I’m tired. I’m grateful for twelve step groups. I’m grateful for prayer, meditation and daily readings. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for music.

I like how you worded that, and I try to do the same… one tiny step at a time. I’m glad you’re here. 
What does that mean exactly? I’ve lived it all my life. But what does it mean exactly? And I use to feel stupid. I didn’t know exactly what it meant. But I know what it means. I’m grateful to read today that I’m normal. There is no set definition of what codependent or codependency means. There’s just too many definitions depending on who you talk to. I’m grateful it’s ok if I don’t know exactly what something is.
