The gratitude I feel today is a direct result of the work I did yesterday.
•I’m grateful for the next three days off work to rest and recharge.
•I’m grateful that pain and pleasure are temporary and add to my life experience.
•I’m grateful that I slept well last night.
•I’m grateful I have my problems and no one else’s. Last night's meeting reminded me how much lower the elevator goes.
•I’m grateful for a spiritual practice that keeps me centered and calm more often than not.
•I’m grateful for a spiritual practice that is growing and diversifying.
•I’m grateful for all the time I have left with Barkley. I’m thankful to be present and sober for Norman’s life from the beginning.
•I’m grateful to have three more interviews lined up in the following weeks.
•I’m grateful for friends who go to bat for me.
•I’m grateful that I don’t have any reservations about my alcoholism. I know that no period of sobriety will qualify me to drink like others do.
I pray that I’m grateful for the things I have received and do not deserve. I pray this attitude will make me truly humble.
