For being in a good mood nearly all day, despite the rain.
 
Thank you mate :) <3
Today I am thankful for my lovely Dark Side family <3
I'm also thankful for my boyfriend, and my dog, i.e. my real life family. Without them I'd be a homeless crazy person on the street wearing garbage bags as clothing and gabbling shit about the impending apocalypse.

I'm glad you have so many people (and dog) to be thankful for, n3o. I too aam thankful for my BL family today, and the friends who are visiting me later :)
 
Being real- I'm thankful for my strength today. The strength to not put a needle in my arm. The strength to say, "fuck it!" I've been on a run for awhile now, but this was a bad one. Maybe cause it had been a year since I touched the shit, I dunno. But man, I got up with a smile today. However, now that I'm at work I feel like I'm in a electric shock chair! If you are a IV meth user, you know exactly what I'm taking about. I popped some iron and b12 pills which will help for now, but tomorrow and the next day? I don't know, nor do I want to think about it. All I know is that the needle can fuck off today. Peace.
 
That's so amazing, XOnOneX!

Music, hope in the face of adversity. /Cheesy :D

That's awesome! Deal with tomorrow when tomorrow comes, all that matters is that in the here-and-now you are thinking like this. It's fantastic :D

I agree wholeheartedly with both of those things!

Today I am thankful for having a beautiful and cosy apartment that I feel safe and secure in - even though it has painful memories, its good to be home <3
 
Whenever i come to this thread I am always moved by what everyone else chooses to post. As I read through I think, "Oh yes, I'm thankful for that, too, and definitely that; hadn't thought about it lately, but definitely that, too."

All of these people all over the world-- each one of them occupying a particular place on the continuum of suffering, some in acute pain and darkness, others emerging into light, others just seeing that light in the far distance, some in total freefall--but each one touching fingers to keys to say, "there is still this (fill in the blank) that I am grateful for." Sometimes it is being grateful for one day of not putting a needle in the arm, sometimes it is for ice cream--it is empowering to do this. To remember the taste of ice cream from the depths of depression is powerful, to be grateful for deliciousness, even more so. To fight off a craving with everything you've got and then to be grateful for your own effort and success, no matter how transitory, is monumental.

To be still enough and present enough in your own suffering to be able to see even one miraculously beautiful thing outside of it, and to focus on that, even momentarily, is the key to the door that leads to the way out.

So I am once again (and every day!) grateful for all of you who post here. You are the purest light life has to offer. <3<3<3<3
