I'm grateful for reading a beautiful story in the back of the Big Book that reminded me it’s never too late to improve myself in AA. I’m grateful for a vibrant morning run in the park as the sun shined on the mountains. I’m grateful for vegan nuggets. I’m grateful for our new lamp and the much-needed light and charm it brings to our living room. I’m grateful to be reminded that this is a program of action and not intentions. I’m grateful for attending anniversary meetings and hearing how far people have come along in their sobriety - regardless of time. I’m grateful for healthy routines sprinkled throughout the day to ensure I stay on track with my serenity. I’m grateful to be sitting on the couch writing this with my partner & puppy beside me and realizing that this is all I truly need in life.
I first went to a gay NA meeting in Boston in 2002 after a year long relapse. I wasn’t expecting acceptance, and during my share I mentioned that I was straight. The response was a rousing “Keep coming back!” which made me laugh out loud and broke the tension. It was a great meeting.
