A Child Abuse Survivors Group Community Group

We survived child abuse, but the pain still remains and so do the other effects which can last a lifetime.

Life can be better when we focus on the positive as much as possible. With that in mind, let's play a little game of counting our blessings. List as many blessings as you like.

My blessings are:
-I have working hands and feet.
-I have a roof over my head.
-I have everything I need to begin a career.
-I understand people better today than I did twenty years ago.
-I have one person I can count on to be a job reference, and need just two or three more reference people.

Tonight I am especially grateful for the blessings of my children. I see how positive interaction with them helps to resolve and correct all issues. Each day that I am blessed to be their mother is an opportunity for me to re-parent myself. I'm blessed to have the awareness I need to not repeat the same mistakes made on me.

I see so many people these days who are slaves to their addictions...booze, pills, cocaine, meth, you name it.

I'm thankful that I'm clean and sober. My friends didn't help me, at least not the earthly friends. I got spiritual help, and I will never forget what I might have become without that help.

Life is full of pitfalls like drug addiction. We should all be thankful we sidestepped around the minefields of life.
