A Thankful Heart

God I tried to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful hearts cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with gratitude, one’s heartbeat my surely result in outgoing love, the finest emotion we can never know.

My sponsor told me that I should be a grateful addict and always have “an attitude of gratitude” – that gratitude was the basic ingredient of humility, that humility was the basic ingredient of anonymity and that “anonymity was a spiritual foundation of our Celebrate Recovery 12 steps and 8 principles, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.” As a result of this guidance, I start every morning on my knees thanking God for 3 things: I’m alive, I’m sober, and I’m a member of my Celebrate Recovery family. Then I tried to live an “attitude of gratitude” and thoroughly enjoy another 24 hours of the Celebrate Recovery way of life. Celebrate recovery is no longer something I joined, it’s something I live.
