Thank you lord for your daily strength for hearing my prayer and humble request for a miracle. Will never forget the day :white_heart:

I am grateful to live a 15 min. car ride from Port Dover, 25 mins from Turkey Point and an hour from Long Point all of which have beaches on the northern shores (the proudly Canadian side) of a Great Lake, more specifically, Lake Erie. I am grateful I got offered work in Turkey Point and the boss has offered to drive me for now as I don’t have a vehicle or a full license. I’m grateful my parents have a cottage right across from the beach in Long Point.

I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while performing your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with its blessings and challenges. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I got to visit at my Sisters today. I’m grateful for my Sunday morning walks to get breakfast and that sometimes one of my friends join as was the case earlier this morning. I’m grateful I attended AA this afternoon and there were three celebrants, one being a former sponsor and still dear friend. I’m grateful the speaker is currently the addictions counsellor that works for my housing program who I have known for years but never heard his story. I’m grateful said counsellor has entrusted me to lead/facilitate a weekly group here, it helps my recovery very much. I’m grateful I can take a nap now which I don’t normally do but I have been going a little overboard lately instead of easy does it. I’m grateful my Mom just called and asked if she and Dad can come visit tomorrow and I got to say yes. I’m grateful I can go watch the Nhl playoffs later this evening and possibly see a champion be crowned. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers and gratitude. I’m grateful for music and creativity, humor and laughter. I’m grateful for @M-be-free49 just cause :smiley:
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are a star, shine bright. Ya you!!

This afternoon I went to my storage to see if I saved any of my recovery coins from my first decade of being sober. I had only one left. I have passed all the others on over the years as sponsees or other friends earned them.
I am so grateful I just happened to find this one coin left in my dusty little box. I must have missed it a few years back when a friend was getting sober. I had sent her another one I thought was my last “24” hour coin.

Its been a very rough day for me. Im grateful and choose to believe that my higher power saw this day coming and withheld this one little coin from my eyes until this day. The day that I myself needed a coin. On a day when I hit my 30 days “again” sober and needed something in my hands to rub and tell myself I did it. I can do it and im not totally alone.

Sorry for the long winded post. I am just super grateful for this silly little coin and the prayer on the back of it right now.

That is a wonderful surprise. Maybe a sign that you are on the right path if you believe in coincidence

Hey, not long winded and certainly not silly. Well done for making 30 days, that’s amazing and definitely not easy. Probably the toughest milestone to hit so great respect to you. :sparkling_heart:

I do believe everything happens for a reason. I know I sure needed this today. I was struggling with my sanity today and felt all alone. It was definitely a delightful surprise and is helping me refocus for sure :relaxed:

I dont even remember where I got it or if someone gave it to me. Its been 20 years
Its very beautiful. So glad I didn’t pass this one on.

Update I may have made an error on when I received that coin. In talking with a friend its possible I received it within the last 5 years and was simply too drunk to remember. Still, does not take away my gratitude for still having and finding it today! I just want to make sure I’m honest about my timeline lol

Have a great evening everyone.
