GRATITUDE List for ALL!

We usually have a Old Timer come on and make a post for all of us that have Gratitude for are clean days. I have not seen one in a long time. I think most of us on here are very Grateful for are clean time and how we have been working to keep it this way. I know for me my whole attitude has changed and I am craving way less, because I am starting to feel really good and I would not EVER want to hurt my Mind, Body or Soul ever again. Grateful to be ALIVE and to Smell the Flowers and I see everything in a Brighter and a more Calmer way.
SO What is your GRATITUDE for the Days or Weeks or Years.

I’m grateful for many things. I’m grateful for me! I'm grateful for the courage I have found inside me! I’m thankful and grateful I get to see my kids grow, and they get to see me for the first time in many years! I’m thankful for kicking cancer, I’m thankful and grateful for the peace I found within myself!  I have forgiven but NEVER forgotten what a hellish ride this is….
I’m beyond grateful for you folks (family) at MH! You have saved me! I’m forever indebted to you all! I hope you all have a blessed day!

Like everyone has said I am so greatful for this site and also for Emily's post. I received a lot of support from kind people here to get where I am. I am most greatful to no longer have the dreaded lead legs, like they are in quicksand. To be able to sit still and NOT have complete rages come over me. To be able to just BE with myself, to enjoy a TV show, to feel like doing laundry, to want to get up in the mornings, very simple things that took weeks to get here. Very Thankful  to be tramadol free!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, All we need is love. Doo Doo do doooo! The thing I am most grateful for is feeling true love. I have craved it so long. I looked for it all over the place. It kept just around the corner, I saw it's shadow. I don't get to feel it all of the time, not the kind of Love I'm talking about, but I DO get to feel it sometimes. I hurt so bad is my spirit and soul sometimes, it can be terrifying, but Love keeps me going. Thank you Vicki, I really needed to think about that. You're awesome!!!
