Day 1996 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon.  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  If I don't start each day with a grateful heart, my day goes down real fast.  I need to be grateful, first of all that I woke up, that I have another day to celebrate clean and sober, and that I can share with others the beauty that can offer.  There were so many days in the past that I used to dread waking up, dread going to work, dread everything.  Today, I am grateful for the little things.  I am alive, I have a job, I enjoy my job, my family is still here with me.  There are sooo many things to be grateful for.  I have to remind myself everyday that is only by the grace of God, and thank him, and pray for him to go before me each day, to lead the way.  Because if I do, I get in my way, and that is not a good place to be.  So today, write a list of 10 things you are grateful for.  It should be easy... If you are reading this you are alive, so there is one, and you can see so there is two. :)  There is so much more to be grateful for when you sit down and really think about it.  Be aware of it today.  Have a great day!  God Bless!
