What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Here are a few of mine and would enjoy hearing from you as well.


I'm very grateful for my good health, six months sobriety and the opportunity it has given for me to heal old wounds and reconnect with my true nature and passions.  I want to be thankful for my nutty family, and that's a work in progress.  I'm grateful I haven't given up.


I'm also thankful for my AA support group and this forum at Daily Strength, where I can openly share my recovery challenges with those who know what I'm going through.  You guys are incredible.


Enjoy the holiday!

I am thankful for everything good and bad because it all worked together, to get me to where I am today. Happy and peaceful, knowing who I am, where I came from, how I got here and where I am going!

God Bless :-)

I am thankful that I was able to get far enough away from booze to realize just how bad it was making my life. It was a classic couldnt see the forest for the trees scenario. I believed that booze was the only answer and couldnt get more than a few weeks or months and would feel better and climb back in the bottle. Today I realize that the reason I was boozing so hard was because i didnt like the way I was feeling. Cut a corner, cheat a friend or family member, and I needed relief. Today I work on being a better person and then dont need the booze.

It is a daily thing and I go to AA for the friendships I have made and to see those that are just off the booze merry go round and I make a decision that I want to stay sober so I dont get caught back in the bottle.

I am more thankful today and make time to recognize my blessings. I am too greatful for this forum, as it has helped during the times when life, lifes..

Bless all those that want to get and stay sober this year.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
