Bedtime Gratitude - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Gratitude is a very powerful mechanism for letting go of stress in your life and regaining your happiness.

At bedtime, take a few minutes to go over the good things that happened during the day. They don’t need to be major events. It could be a hug, words of love, the sounds of the birds in the morning, or a beautiful sunset. Think about why they happened and what you did to make them happen.

I am grateful God led me to ways put my gratitude into action today

It is past my bedtime, but pain kept me awake, so I figured that I should come and post and see where my God took me.

Each day that I stay sober is bonus. Each day that I find sobriety (soundness of mind during that 24 hours) is something to be truly grateful for.

Gratitude: The ability to live life on life's terms is a gift the program and the fellowship have given me, the promises delivered.

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...

I'm so grateful for a day without worry or fear, and to have spoken my truth.
I've gratitude for my home, warm, inviting, with a great healthy meal. I've gratitude for my service today, all day. And I've gratitude for my big comfy bed that beckons and my kitty who shares it with me, warm, purring and soft.

Welome Timothy. So glad to have you with us. I hope you will continue to come and share your journey with us.

WELCOME!

MajestyJo · 01-27-2017, 10:53 PM

There is nothing I can give you
which you do not have;
But there is much, very much, that
while I cannot give it, you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present instant. Take peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within reach, is joy.

There is a radiance and glory in the darkness,
could we but see, and to see, we have only to look.
I beseech you to look.
