Grateful for my coworker showing me how to tighten a doorknob.
Grateful for my mom for feeding me.
Grateful for therapy. An uneventful day. For a conversation with a property manager where i got what i needed. For no desire to use. For changing emotions and being ok with solitude.

Good evening all,
Iām grateful for an easy day at work. Iām grateful I was able to get the oil changed on my car. Iām grateful for the day to day conversations with my kids and that I am not to doggy, hungover, or preoccupied with the next drink to really take part. We laugh a lot more now. All of us. Iām grateful that my dogs are always so happy to see me. Iām grateful for exercise and the mental boost it gives me. Iām grateful for my family and my porch swing- I just love that thing.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Good evening.
I had another amazing day, paddle boarding on the lake with my man friend and our dogs. It was perfect, the weather was not as hot as it has been the last few days and I am very grateful for that. Our afternoon plans were interrupted by a phone call from his youngest who was feeling unwell, long story short the youngest ended up at urgent care and the middle child ended up in a rear ender. I am grateful both of the boys are ok, and that the older ones truck was fixable at the scene. I am grateful the boys (17&20) still call their dad for help, and I am grateful that he is a super dad.
While they waited at urgent care I was at home reading infront of a fan. I am grateful for books and fans, for snoring dogs and cold water. I am grateful for people who share their favorite things, (books, movies, jeans, restaurants, musicā¦). I am grateful for the words essence, thrive and stardust. I have had a favorite word my whole lifeā¦ Egyptian; I love the way it feels when my lips make the letter combination. I am also grateful for the word Egyptian.
I will use the last of my energy to change my bedding because I am always grateful for crisp, line-dried sheets. I love the way they feel, and smell. Am hopeful that tomorrow will be the only day I have to take laundry to the laundromat, I am grateful I did mine last week.

Thank you! Another smile tonight. I was reading some posts and received an alert, when I clicked on it I knew I already read this earlier. Then I remembered you tagged me as @maxine you must have updated it to @maxwell (so will I now get an alert from myself? )
Iām sure I confuse people with the Maxwell/Maxine 
. Then having a dog Max. When the rescue contacted me with a dog Max, it was faith.

I know getting a dui is awful butā¦ im so eternally grateful I did.
2 weeks before I got my first dui I called the non emergency number for a ride to the hospital. I was drunk and desperately needed and wanted to detox. The hospital gave me drugs and sent me home. 2 days later I was drunk again.
My husband who never goes to the doctor called me 2 weeks later from the er with chest pains and an extremely high blood pressure. I was drunk. I panicked and jumped in the car to get to him fearing I would also loose him. Ive lost a son, my favorite uncle, mother, father and emotional support dog of 11 years all in a 7 year span. So Iām a little scared of loosing people. No excuse to drive drunk. I hit a parked car and gratefully did not injur anyone. My husband ended up being ok.
My point is this. Without getting that dui I would have continued trying to slowly drown myself in liquor. I would have slowly tried to kill myself and join my family. I was drowning in self pity and waisting my precious life that I am so lucky I get to live when so many of my family were deprived a life so young.
Today and everyday since that day I have gotten and stayed sober and I have been grateful for the dui. I am not court ordered to be sober yet. In fact I go to court for this tomorrow. I am at peace with whatever happens.
I am simply grateful that my higher power stepped in and opened my eyes because I was begging for help when I couldnāt help myself.
I felt compelled to share this tonight. I dont know why but I did. If it is off topic im totally cool for it to be moved to a more appropriate thread. It was just laid on my heart to share this experience.
I never thought I would be a person who got a dui. And I certainly never thought I would be a person that could find gratitude in it and that it could save my life. I no longer live every day in self pity and despair drowning out all the pain. I get to wake up and live my life for me as well as for my family. For that I am truly grateful.

I am grateful that you are staying sober Shaunda. I am also always grateful when I see newer members start to settle in and their walls start to slowly crumble away. I am grateful you feel safe tonight and were willing to share some of your painful truth. I am sending you a lot of love and strength.

Good morning all,
Iām grateful to be up early even though this is a morning I could have slept in. Iām grateful my big dog Luke woke me up several times to go outside- better than waking up to a mess to clean up. Iām grateful for coffee. Iām grateful that my husband starts a new job today- new possibilities for him. Iām grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
