I've got a long hard battle to fight to get where you are now in your sobriety, but I so look forward to it. I want so much to be truly happy. And while I am grateful (mostly for my 2 beautiful daughters), I'm not as grateful as I should be.. But damnit I'm trying! Thank you for proudly telling your story; people like me need to hear it.

Turns out her son is also 3. She kept saying aren't kids beautiful and how they bring so much joy in our lives....it was a quick conversation I normally would have brushed off, but I read your blog earlier that day and I found myself thankful for that lady for reminding me that they are pretty beautiful. Also I have to say I'm grateful for finding your blog. I don't think I've been a really bad person, but after reading your stories I have really taken a look at myself and I think improved for the better...I hope! :)emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-37420789753106546192012-11-02T15:23:51.380-05:002012-11-02T15:23:51.380-05:00It is so true your words.

And so on... I'm grateful that I have her and a good support system. I'm very grateful that I found your blog and FB page! And I really enjoy following you. I'm grateful for another thing to smile about.

I always say to people when they think their life sucks so much, "hey, think about the people in the world who have to walk miles for water, or look at their children wondering how they will feed them today?" Yes, it always puts things in perspective, I think we ALL, at times, take the little things for granted!

In MY program (which is never as good as THE program), gratitude was always just a word. I would say I'm grateful for things (and I meant it), but there was no emotion tied to it. It was just a word. Then I stumbled upon you and your fb page and this blog and gratitude started to mean something more than just a definition. I can truly say I am grateful for something and FEEL grateful. Sometimes I feel it to the point of tears, which annoys me because I hate to cry.<br /><br />Humor and laughter. There's just nothing funnier than a group of sober drunks sitting around talking. Well, maybe it's a little bit funnier if there's 1 normie in the group. The look on their face usually goes from amused to horrified pretty quickly. AA is the only place where we can "reminisce in a room full of stranger". I love that saying. I experience it every I go to a new meeting. <br /><br />Thank you for carrying the message...even when you don't feel like it and even when you're not sure anyone's listening. Like you said, "compassion doesn't take time off", and neither do you. I am so grateful that I have you in my life.
