Today I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for the clarity of mind that I have. I am thankful that, for the last two years, I have been completely stable and even-mooded. I haven't had to go back into a mental hospital. I think I finally have this bipolar thing maintained. I am grateful for having graduated with my first college degree. For a while there, I never thought I'd make it.

I am grateful for the fact that I have been able to stay away from drugs for so long. Well, I still occasionally drink, but my family and friends all keep close watch over me and so far I have been able to stop at one drink every time. Obviously I am quite grateful to have regained such self-restraint and control.

I am grateful for the fact that, when I occasionally miss the feeling that LSD and other psychedelics would give me, I do not go out and get some. I don't hit up the old communities I was in to order some more. I am grateful for the fact that I can stop and think, and reason that no good could come of it, and that I know if I have it one time I will just keep having it one more time. I know that there would be no "one last trip" because that one more or one last would just turn into many more. I am grateful that I have quit cigarettes.

I am grateful for the fact that I do not waste my money on things that disappear so quickly and leave me empty-handed, that I don't spend money that essentially amounts to me wasting time where I could be productive.

I'm also grateful for the fact that, every day, I always feel grateful for these things and I know that, if I make one wrong choice, I will lose all of these things.

And, most of all, I am grateful that I am doing well enough to finally be in a position to help others!
 
das feuer-That's wonderful my friend! It warms my heart when people pay their positivity forward. Best of luck and hope you affect a million lives! :)

Today I am thankful for all the good men and women who spread the love freely with no agenda and keep the world a more peaceful place. Sending good vibes, bright smiles and helping hands...
 
finally finding a prescriber that trusts, listens, explains, cares, asked what helps, and wants to try...

its been such a battle, not that its any where near over, but having this extra sail on my mast will be extraordinarily helpful cutting through this wake.
 
today i am thankful for bluelight for giving me interesting things to read (and keeping me from dying of boredom at work) and all the helpful people here.

also, melons.
 
i dont like eating melons, but i like the word haha. melons are strange to grow, or rather thinking about them growing.

actually there is a white flesh melon i do like, i think it is some kind of honey melon hybrid...
 
I am thankful for Dole Juice coming out with a Watermelon juice sweetened with other fruit juices.... I love Naked Juice's Watermelon and Lime juice but it is like 3 bucks for a small bottle- now I can mix up some lime juice and mint into my big container of Watermelon juice for the same price!!!! Yes!!!:)
 
I'm very grateful today because work asked if I still wanted an extra day to work, so 5 instead of 4 nights a week. I've been fucked financially, a garnishment has fucked me up leaving me feeling lethargic & hopeless, but with this extra night, I can see myself not being so damn broke all the time. Also, I'm grateful that I have a car temporarily, maybe longer.
 
Today I am grateful for my conscience and the guilt it manifests when I decide to get high in bad situations. I hope to God one day it will push me over the edge and I will quit obsessing over heroin and crack enough to get them as far out of my life as I can.
 
today i am very thankful for air conditioning and for being able to pay the electric bill...

i'm thankful for my boyfriend who always seems to know when i'm tired, lonely, scared, etc and calls me to say he misses me, loves me, and to remind me that everything is working out like we planned and we'll be physically back together soon.

i'm thankful my son is alive, healthy, and finally doing constructive things with his talents and life in general.

i'm thankful for true friends, which also includes my dogs, who love me even when i feel totally invisible and hate myself.

i'm thankful i still have dreams.

I'm thankful for TDS. It's helped me realize a lot of things, and I always try to give my input on situations I've been through to try to help others.
