Today I’m grateful for so many things, including:
•Barkley has been extra affectionate this morning.
•Dog videos from Akram.
•I can act instead of react when I get upset. I can stand up for myself without burning bridges.
•I’ve made real progress on my budget. I’ve managed to cut my expenses by ~42%.
•Thoughts, ideas, and emotions, which were once the guiding forces in my life, have been cast aside, and an entirely new perspective on life has emerged.
•I’m grateful I don’t take any sleep meds because I accidentally took my nighttime meds when I woke up.
•For reasons beyond my comprehension, I’ve been given a beautiful life. God’s grace is boundless.
•I gain faith through my own experience of God’s power in my life. The countless instances in which what seemed to be chance or coincidence could be traced back to God.
•By taking time to sit quietly, help other alcoholics, attend meetings, pray, and meditate, I’m taking out insurance on my sobriety.
•There is a beauty to life that I’d never seen before. I hear music where there was once only noise. I no longer feel like a wild animal caught in a trap.
God, thank you for my life.
-Mike
