Blessed and thankful. Feel free to add yours.
I am up at midnight baking cookies for an event at my daughters school. And it hit me how happy I was. I believe when using I would have either bought store made cookies, or grumbled about the "chore" of baking then cleaning the mess. I'm thankful to be able to take joy out of something as simple as baking. I'm grateful to be clean and ALIVE. I'm taking joy in the little things in life again, and kinda just noticed! And I'm blessed by such wonderful friends here on Med Help.
A lot of people, especially those new to the board are struggling today. I thought I would make a honest, positive post. If anyone has a positive thing happen to them in the last couple days, feel happy or grateful, or had a new revelation, please share!!
Thank you all. You're the best!

A big thanks to everyone for sharing. Each story is uplifting, especially thinking how back in our depths of despair, I doubt we could have pictured ourselves ever getting to the point of just enjoying life again!
BTW, I was reading these comments on my phone, and my daughter said what's wrong with you? You're sitting there just staring at your phone with a big goofy grin on your face!

Im grateful that Im getting my health back! This is the best Ive felt physically and mentally in 3 years!
What a nice way to start the day, when I opened my mail this thread was at the top of the list. Thank you for,sharing. I now have 49 days sober, and am grateful for all the happening in my life.
To be able to experience all things with clarity makes such a difference, even clearing the most difficult of tasks takes on a new meaning.

I'm with Sara on this one....Every day that I wake up is a blessed day! There was a time when this was never the case...and waking up was in doubt....

I am thankful that I am 11 days clean!! I never thought it could happen! Oh and ROLL TIDE ROLL;)
I am so thankful to have support from my hubby. I couldn't have done is alone!! I am so blessed!!
Very grateful to be over 10 months clean! and also for 2 jobs, (one of them i really love) and for my healthy family and all the friends i've made here on MH!!
Thank you all for sharing. It's uplifting to read these! I know we all have down days, but many more up days. To people lurking or thinking of quitting, this shows it gets better, and not just better, great. We are thankful to be alive. Finding joy in small things, and learning good things like butterbean said, patience.
And yes Sarah, I'm very grateful to wake up each morning. Grateful and humbled.
Speaking of animals, I got a dog after a couple months of recovery. He has helped me so much. He gives unconditional love, cheers me up on the bad days, lays with me when I'm sick, makes me laugh watching him play. And wants nothing more in return than food and affection.
So my daughter came home today, and has 4 people wanting my cookie recipe. Let me say I never got asked for the recipe when I tried to pass off store bought cookies as homemade lol. And she said thanks Mommy for making these. I can't dwell on the three years I was physically present in her life but not mentally present, although I thought I was. So now I want to add how grateful I am to have been given a second chance to be the Mom I was meant to be.
Again, a huge thanks to those that shared!!!

What a nice post. I am 65 days clean of tramadol today. I feel so greatful to have the energy to LOVE on my dog like I used to. During my first month I was so sick and fatiqued, I seriously did not have the energy to pick her up, hug her, spoil her, I felt so bad for her. She stared at me during that time so sad and now I slowly am feeling better. We just got back from an outing and she is panting and happy. So greatful for this, all the simple things I took for granted, most of all just being clean, this post brought a smile to my face!!!!!!!!
Hi There,
My revelation was just this morning. I'm making new sleeping pads for our 4 dogs. When i was using this would have been such a chore and it would have needed to have been finished yesterday!!
Now, i'm really enjoying doing this for them, it doesn't matter if i don't get them all finished today, the point is everything i do now is done with more care, patience and love than ever before....yes, even something as silly as dog sleeping pads!!
Great post!!

Hi Barb..Nice post..It is kind of like being Grateful. I am 5 days away from a Year and I have turned the best Corner Yet in this Recovery. Being a recovery addict had brought me closer to my God and I have just Mellowed out for once in my Life. I find that I can finally stay more calm and handle stressful situations way better. This path has also lead me down the road to studying a lot of the map of the Brain and how it all works so the body can follow.
I too am SO Grateful for MH because I found some Awesome new caring friends. I never new there where so many Good & Beautiful Caring Sharing Souls in this Big World. I have also Learned SO much on here..lol
Thanks and Bless us ALL!
