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.
