G is for Gratitude. Gratitude is an action word. Don't just say it, show it!
My sponsor told me many years ago, a grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up, he/she may have a lot of excuses, but no reason to pick up, no matter the situation or the substance.
A friend told me one day when we were going to a bridge dinner, you aren't going to drink, I am here and I am not going to let you. She doesn't know the disease of addiction, if an A decises to use, no one is going to get in the way, and unless the A makes the decision to ask for help from a Higher Power, they will drink and drug again. She doesn't have the power. So grateful that my Higher Power does.
