Gratitude

When I was in treatment, for six months, every evening we said three things we were grateful for, what we like about ourselves and how we were feeling. As simple as this was, it became ingrained. Enough that I woke up at home one night, talking in my sleep, saying "I am grateful for". That tells me it's probably something that would not hurt me to continue......so.....
I am grateful for...
My room mate
Sunshine
Moments of acceptance
What I like about myself is....that I didn't have to drink today
And I am feeling.....Contemplative, of what, I don't know. :)
