Hello everyone, my name is Tawnye and i am a recovering alcoholic/addict. I have been clean and sober for awhile now, but today, I am struggling. I am not wanting to pick up or drink... my struggles come from life and living it on lifes terms and not mine. lol

My first few years of being sober, when i started feeling like i was being sucked down into "the abyss" I would write a gratitude list. I sat down tonight to try and do that and am truly having a hard time being grateful for anything....

Here is my challenge for all of you...

Please finish this sentence with 3 or more things

Today I am grateful for.....

Thank you to all that participate! Sometimes we all just need a boost and it can be very hard to see the good around us when our hearts and heads are beating us up....

I think this is a great post! I am new to this site and your post really caught my attention and I would like to participate :)

Today I am grateful for my loving family, my adorable dog, people willing to help me, and my relationship with God.

I needed a boost today, too! My head has been in overdrive the past month! I wish you all the best and congratulations on your hard work with your recovery!

Today I am grateful for the air within my lungs, for the friends that are truly friends and who are willing to laugh and cry when I do. I am grateful that every day I find real people who have love in their hearts, kind people who I have become fast friends with. I am eternally grateful to see people who take that extra step to help others and I see the people here within this group. Indeed we are familly
