I'm thankful for my parents and brother, best friend, lover, and all the kindhearted and friendly strangers I talk to every day.
I'm thankful that even though I'm not sober, my abuse is not nearly what it was 6 months ago.
I'm thankful that I strive to make every day a good day, and to accept reality when I end up having a crappy day.
I'm thankful that people see the good in me, and that when I'm clearly struggling, they see that I'm trying even harder.
I'm thankful for my resilience, my knowledge, my artistic ability, and I am thankful that I found God one night when I had sobbed for hours telling myself there's no way out of this awful life, and how I'd then felt a calming wave over me and I knew it was going to be ok.
Ever since that night, I've tried to take care of myself the best I can, and it has turned around my relationships, work performance, balance..
Thankful that I'm keepin' the faith
