Do not suffer in aloneness. there is no such thing.

- Gary Zukav -


It is so important to stay in today. Sometimes it is in the moment.

I woke up with a head ache, it disappeared. My feet weren't swollen like they have been for months, then I had two gentlemen friends arrive, one invited, the other the man in my life who dropped by unexpectedly, and then my son showed. I had a friend from his girlfriend early, and all of a sudden the feet are swelling, the body is in pain, and all from stress. The thing I came to realize was, it wasn't my stress and not mine to take on.

It is so important for me to be in the moment, look at where I am at, take ownership for my part, and let go of the rest. A lot easier said than done, especially when it concerns those you love.

I received an e-mail earlier today which was about how we use the "blame game" to justify our behaviour, thoughts, etc., but anything from outside of ourselves is but a reflection of our own inner truth.


From my site The Five A's posted in 2003

So grateful for the new awareness, clarity, understanding, and experiences in my life that helped me grow and heal.


I am worthy of being happy, of having people love me the way I want to be loved, and of making my own choices about what happens to me.
It's my life. Today I take it back.

Humility and gratitude run hand in hand. The promises come true as we lower our ego and thank God for our friends family and fellowship.

[MajestyJo]

Many people don't get their family back. It took me a long time to find the acceptance of their attitude toward the 'alcoholic' and the condescension that I received. The fellowship(s) loved me and put me back together.

Again today I found myself singing! This morning it was to my sister's cats, I have always had cats, but lost mine when I lost my house back in the days when I was active. Then had to leave the cats I lived with that belonged to my roommate when I moved here. My sister has 12 cats and I've come to know their sweet individual personalities. About six of them were on her bed this morning and I just started singing "Sunshine, you are my sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey.. " It brought me back to a time when I was so innocent and it felt really good. I am very thankful for it!:-)

[MajestyJo]

Thanks for sharing, typed out my own gratitude list, lost it, and gave up. :(

Grateful for a new day for a new day.
Grateful that I didn't have to pick up to deal with my pain.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning.
Grateful for the gifts received each day.
Grateful that my God doesn't give up on me.
Grateful that I can go to Him for Help each day.
Grateful that when I can't do, He can.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

Was reminded at my f2f Al-Anon home group how grateful I am for the gifts of recovery.

Gifts that are priceless that no amount of money can buy. The peace, serenity, the tools, the people, etc. that have been made available for me as a result of me reaching out and asking for help.

Our topic today was the Fifth Tradition. It is my favorite. It gave me a purpose and a reason for being. I question my existence and why I was chosen and why I was alive. I found the answer. To carry the message to those who still suffer. Someone took the time to be there for me.

It is my responsibility to be there for others who come into recovery looking for the help that I also sought. Without you, there is no me.

Many times over the years, I got into the I want ways of thinking and then I remember what my life was like when I was using, and I remember to be grateful.

I was one step away from the gutter physically, and was already there mentally and emotionally, so any thing that happens in today, gives me much to be grateful for.

Quote:

“When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears”

- - Anthony Robbins - -

As I heard a long-timer say many years ago, "Any day I wake up, it is a good day." Sometimes I lose sight of that. That is why I say today that any day I don't pick up, is a good day.

Quote:

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought,
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."

- - Gilbert Keith Chesterton

So grateful that I am not on insulin for my diabetes like my two younger sister's are. I am also grateful that I am single even though the two of them enjoy being married. My space may be small but it is mine.

Have found that there is always something to be grateful for, in any given situation if I look for it. As my sponsor said many years ago, "A grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up."

Sometimes we forget to be grateful for the air we breathe, the roof over our heads, the food on our table (no matter what it is), our family and friends.

It is the little things that add up to a big thing! Gratitude!

She doesn't seem to have any Good Orderly Direction, I wonder if she asked for it.

Grateful that I have 23 years of sobriety today, although when I get honest, it was more being sober than sobriety, because I did what I could, but had the feeling I should do more. More is always a danger word, especially for me.

It isn't about more years, but one day at a time for 23 years.

I am so grateful for the people in my life be it face to face or on the internet.

So many have done my research for me and I didn't have to go back out myself to find that it isn't any better out there.

Many have taught me how to work my program and how not to work my program. For me it is more about living, picking up the tools of recovery and applying them to my life.

I am so grateful for the tools of recovery, the most important are the 12 Steps, which originated with AA and passed on to other Fellowships.

As my sponsor said many years ago, and as I have said many times on the board, "A grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up, lot of excuses, but no reason to go back to where you came from.

My name is JoAnne, I am an alcoholic, and I am addicted to pills, men, food, and just about any object or person that will take me out of myself and make me feel better. I didn't know it wasn't their job, and that I was responsible for my own happiness and recovery. I had to let go of the blame game and live in reality, instead of denial and self-pity, and all those old feelings that are not condusive to serenity.

Having trust and faith in the program gets me through each day. Through the program, I was able to make a conscious contact with the God of my understanding, and for that I am very grateful.

[MajestyJo]

Whenever I have pain or an excess of pain over and above the normal, I know it is emotional on top of the physical and that I need to surrender even more. It is time to take an inventory, not only at my recovery from alcohol and drugs, but my day to day living to see what I am doing wrong. i.e. overdoing, not getting exercise, not enough sleep, not eating properly, too long on the computer, etc. Also have to look at my emotions, to see where they are at. What haven't I let go of, what I haven't turned over, what I am in denial about, what I am trying to control and what do I need to let go of and surrender to my Higher Power.

Something I shared on another site in 2011

The pain is still there, it has never gone away, it is about learning to deal with it and work and think through it, with the help of my God and the wonderful people He has put in my path. I will be eternally grate for His Good Orderly Direction which has shown my how to deal with the pain and not have to go to the drugs I use to use and felt like I just had to have. I am sick don't you know! Poor, poor me, pour me another one.

So grateful for the program that saved my life.

Don't know if it is because I have celebrated two Thanksgivings and Christmas is on the way, but have had a lot of gratitude.

It seems like I am noticing more and more, the little things in my life and more importantly, remembering to say Thank You.

Each day, I am thankful for being clean and sober. I remember all the years that I struggled and vowed never to do it again, but I did.

How many times, I prayed, "God get me out of this and I will ...."

How many times have I thought, "I don't need help, I can do it on my own."

How many times have I said, "This time it will be different, I will eat, I won't mix my drinks, I will get up and dance instead of sitting and just drinking, etc."

Thank you for being a part of my sobriety. Thank you for those who still struggle for carry the message to me that it isn't any better out there. Thank you to those who make it back in, it affirms that the program is the only way and you give me hope.

Posted in December 2011

They told me in the rooms of recovery when I came in many years ago that AA was the last house on the block. We try so many things, and finally when our score card read zero, we finally went to AA. I could stop, but I couldn't stay stopped. I am so grateful for AA that has allowed me to stop, one day at a time, for 23 years and 7 days.

Gratitude

"I'm very grateful to have come to believe."

IP No. 21, "The Loner"

Belief in a Higher Power can make all the difference when the going gets tough! When things don't go our way in recovery, our sponsor may direct us to make a "gratitude list." When we do, we should include our faith in a Power greater than ourselves on the list. One of the greatest gifts we receive from the Twelve Steps is our belief in a God of our own understanding.

The Twelve Steps gently lead us toward a spiritual awakening. Just as our addiction progressed, so does our spiritual life develop in the course of working the program of Narcotics Anonymous. The steps are our path to a relationship with a God of our understanding. This Higher Power gives us strength when our road gets rough.

Are we grateful for our deepening relationship with a Higher Power? Do we remember to thank God for each day clean, no matter what has happened that day? Do we remember that, no matter how deep our despair or how great our joy, the God of our understanding is with us?

Our recovery is a gift, a gift that we sometimes take for granted. Each day we stay clean, we can rejoice in our Higher Power's care.

Just for today: I am grateful for my relationship with a Higher Power that cares for me.

pg. 10
Back to: Just For

A grateful addict will never have a reason to pick up. Lots of excuses, but no reason. I am so grateful that I was given a second chance at life. I had been trying my way for eight years and when I entered the doors of recovery, I found the solution. It was up to me to put it into action.

I am so grateful for the young girl who introduced me to NA literature when in treatment in November 1991. She is no longer with us. She will always be my special angel because she carried the message to me.

I am grateful that I found a Higher Power. I choose to call Him "My God" as He is personal to me. Before God was this distant Being and through the fellowship of the spirit, I was able to bring Him closer and build a relationship with Him.

God was an old tape. He was who other people told me He was. I had to find out who He was to me. I am grateful that He reveals Himself to me each day. As I shared with my son yesterday, God is a He when I need Good Orderly Direction. God is a She when I need tender loving care (Divine Orderly Good), and an It when I need to go within and find my answer. I went on a spiritual journey at a year sober. I am grateful that everywhere I went, God was there. I try to show my gratitude for thanking Him for being a part of my journey. I am grateful that He is always there. It is up to me to acknowledge Him.

I am grateful that you are all a part of my life!

I am grateful to be clean and sober in today.

Still grateful in 2014

[MajestyJo]

How grateful I am for the gifts of recovery.

Gifts that are priceless that no amount of money can buy. The peace, serenity, the tools, the people, etc. that have been made available for me as a result of me reaching out and asking for help.

Our topic today was the Fifth Tradition. It is my favorite.

5 Each Al-Anon Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of AA ourselves, by encouraging and understanding our alcoholic relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics.

It gave me a purpose and a reason for being. I questioned my existence and why I was chosen and why I was alive. I found the answer. To carry the message to those who still suffer. Someone took the time to be there for me.

It is my responsibility to be there for others who come into recovery looking for the help that I also sought. Without you, there is no me.


"If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every
situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be
filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul."
- - Rabbi Harold Kushner


It is my firm belief that there is something 'good' in everything, the same as life isn't all positive or negative. Many time, that negative is to draw my attention to a lesson that needs to be learned.

Really like this. It has been brought home to me lately, how much we look at what we don't have rather than what we do have.

Yes I have pain, I have daily pain, yet my God sees me through it each day without the use of heavy duty narcotics. For that I am very grateful. I have friends who just have the fibromyalgia who are on highly addictive medication. I have fibromyalgia many other things like my diabetes and associated diseases and osteoarthritis.

I may not have my own home, but then when I came into recovery, I was one step off of the streets. I am not capable and cleaning a big home and don't have the money to get someone to come and do it for me. Why should I wish for more, when more is the seed of addiction.

Each day, I always try to remember to say thank you, because I know, what I need is on the way.

How often we leave words unspoken as unimportant or because of a fear of rejection of thoughts of being made to look silly.

So many thing no said or done, because we are afraid of what people will say or do. Gratitude is so important. A simple "Thank You" speaks volumes."

Hour To Hour - Book - Quote

It doesn't cost a lot of money for us to recover. It costs a lot of time. We have to be diligent and program consciousness from this hour to the next, every hour for the rest of our lives. We 'have' to do it, until we want to do it.

I embrace our program in gratitude.

It cost us a lot to get here. I was told not to worry if I didn't have money to put in the seventh tradition, that someone else would put it in for me until such a time as I had it to give. I was also reminded that the seventh tradition wasn't all about money, but about time, being there for others, going to meeting, and getting involved in service.

Found this just before my anniversary last year on a site I use to post on. Because of health issues, I stopped posting there. All my sites were gone, but thankfully Recovery Inn is still there.


One night I am sitting here listening to old classic country music. Do like the old songs and yet I can see why they called them drinking songs and people crying in their beer. I find I can only listen to them for a while, unless I can find something positive about them. I have been sitting here applying some of the words and looking at what I need for my own healing.

I am so grateful for the awareness in today that I can take something that appears negative and find the positive in it. The words right now are "Is it wrong to be loving you?" Many times, I quesitoned myself in the past. I did not trust myself. Most of my life I was told that I was stupid and that my opinion didn't matter. I took everythng personal. I am so grateful that I don't have to take that stuff on. It is not mine!

So grateful that recovery has opened up new doors to a better way of life.

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, — a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

Be thankful that you don't already have
everything you desire — if you did,
what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something...
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times...
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations...
They give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge...
Which will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes...

They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary...
Because it means you've given your all.
It's easy to be thankful for the 'good' things...

Yet, a life of rich fulfillment comes to those
Who are thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive...
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
And they can become your blessings.

I am grateful that I sincerely think of others today

You know friends are never earned
They are a gift from the loving God
They're precious beyond human evaluation
You dare not take them for granted
Or they'll drift away like smoke
And the warmth of there caring
Will vanish into the chill of the endless night.

Most of my friends are unknowns
They probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town
Some where, where nothing much ever happens
But some of my friends are big people
They are famous, sensitive and talented
Their names are household words
And yet they are no more precious
In God's eyes or in mine.

Then those wonderful nobodies
Who live and die in obscurity
Who is your friend?
He's someone who warns you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times
When you are hurting beyond words
She's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair.

When no other medicine
Could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clinks
A glass against yours
Or answers the phone
At three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement
And concern makes you realize
Your not really lost at all.

Friends come in both sexes
In all shapes and sizes
The most important thing
They have in common is
Their ability to share with you
Your most sky splitting joys
Or your' deepest most awesome sorrows.

I think of all the things I have in this world
I'm most grateful for my friends...

[MajestyJo]

My meditation once said, "Give thanks it is already on it's way." Since then, I have always tried to say "Thank You" when the little things happen be they thought or deed.

Thank you Tammy for all you do here. Thank you everyone for being a part of my sobriety.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful that the sun is shining. All is well in my world, in the moment!

Sometimes it does get lonely when you are talking to yourself. It isolates the soul and blocks us from the spirit of our God.
