Today I am grateful that I have reasons
Reasons to get up each day
Reasons to move forward
Reasons to take care of myself
Reasons to love myself
Reasons to share love with friends and family
Reasons to care
Reasons to try
Reasons to fight for a better life
Reasons to keep on pushing
Reasons to relax
Reasons to think ahead
Reasons to hold on to things
Reasons to let go of other things
Reasons to face my fears
Reasons to try, fail, and try again
Reasons to live to the best of my ability
Reasons to look forward to one more day
I am grateful for all these reasons, and many more, that I have. Some were already there and I ignored them and drowned them out with alcohol. Others I have built, developed, grown and tended to these last 32 months. I am truly grateful
