Long post but shit...Man my life is starting to fall back into place. I've had probably 2 to 2 and a half out of the past 3 years clean from heroin. I did a year in jail in 08. It saved my life I put on 60 lbs.
I'm not on the exact straight and arrow now but basically Im living my life right. I'm becoming healthy and spiritually whole again. I moved to a place where I have real good people in my life. And its sunny. New job making decent money.
For the first time in a year or so I'm happy and faithful that my life is about to be at the very least halfway stable.
I'll fucking take halfway stable. I really deserve some peace of mind I'll do whatever it takes to have that.
 
Today I am thankful for [B said:

I am thankful for you having this ability.
 
I am thankful for so much right now,

most importantly I am thankful that I can honestly say I am not depressed anymore, I haven't had a thought of ..."I hate myself" in months, nor have I felt a need to self harm. I think that is what starts it all...Happiness. I am thankful that I fell in love, that I'm growing up, that I have two jobs, that I am young and full of energy, thankful that I don't crave drugs anymore. No more getting blackout drunk all the time, abusing mdma, ketamine... I don't even crave weed anymore!
 
Today I am thankful that I seem to have got through years of heroin addiction without any lasting ill health.
Also thankful for another day without using, still going strong since August 31st.
 
Teachers who really care, not just in the classroom but in the school of life as well. These people give me the strength to continue with my constant quest for knowledge. I feel really lucky to have them in my life and strive to help others as they've helped me.
 
I'm grateful for Obama's reelection. He isn't a saint or a savior, and he will no doubt be able to do little more than fight off attacks from the right during the next four years, but at least he will be holding ground. The thought that I might wake up to another guy in the white house perpetuating the same dangerous myths about trickle-down wealth and cowboy style foreign relations was giving me a stomach ulcer!
 
Today I am thankful for all the Team Great Britain athletes that done so well during the Olympics and how they have inspired some of our children to take up various sports.
I must admit that the achievements some of athletes made bought tears to my eyes, I was so proud of them and all the hard work it must take to win a gold medal.
 
I'm thankful for my relative health:)

The Olympics was fantastic, I attended the Paralympics as well, I was still in a wheelchair at the time ..another thing to remember
 
I thought the Paralympics was amazing to watch as well. It really puts our lives into perspective.When we moan about aches and pains or not wanting to do something cos its too hard.
Then you see these guys with missing limbs doing such great athletic feats.I couldn't believe it when I was watching people with one leg doing the high jump, fantastic.
I was also really proud of the amount of TV coverage it was given and the fact that the tickets for the events all sold so bloody well.
It was no way looked upon as anything less than the main Olympics.
I've never cried watching the Olympics before but I must admit I did several times this year.
Jessica Ennis what a fantastic role model for young people. It must be an amazing feeling to work & train so hard for so long for your event(s)
& for it all to come right just when you need it to. I'll never forget the London Olympics.
 
First of all, I am thankful that I finally found this thread again LOL. Wouldn't you think that when you type "today I am thankful for..." into the BL search engine that this would be the first hit as opposed to pages of posts and threads that have the words 'today' and 'thankful' in them? Rather than on page 2?

But seriously, I love this thread and I wish it were stickied because it is so easy to forget about it, to focus on every negative thing happening in the world, in my own life, in my emotions. Yet it never ceases to amaze me that just the act of slowing down and recognizing a feeling of gratitude for something, no matter how small, can pull me back into an ease with life. Today, it was waking up to a bright blue winter sky. whatever else is happening under it, that sky is so beautiful!<3
 
^ Ah I remember this thread! Thanks for finding and bumping it :)

Today I'm thankful for my personality.
