Gratitude in New York
Posted on: 05/24/2007
My name is Jim and I am a recovering alcoholic. I woke up this morning with alot of gratitude that I am sober today. I got sober again and hopefully for the last time on April 10, 2005. It was the best decision I have ever made. Instead of existing, I am living today. I really love life so much. Due to my addiction I lost everything material and I lost myself. Thru the steps of alcoholics anonymous I have found myself for the first time. I can honestly say I like myself and like the person I a m decoming one day at a time. I looked at my daughter this morning and realized she depends on me to be a productive member of society for my sake and hers. I love my baby so much. She is two years old and I have full sole custody of her. I would hate to think where she would be if I didn't get custody because her mother is caught up in her own addiction. I can only take care of me on a daily basis. I love recovery so much. Every day I cannot wait to go to my next meeting. I am actually starting to have friends and people actually want to be around me, it is a damn miracle. Thank GOD for Bill W. and Dr. Bob starting the fellowship. They will forever be near my heart. I owe so much to everyone on this site and in the rooms of AA. Thanks for everything and thanks for letting me share. God bless.
