Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

Today I’m grateful that I’m sober for 3 years and 7 months. Today I’m thankful for my 3 beautiful son and amazing mother! I’m thankful that I have money in my account and goals and dreams. I’m thankful that I have a vehicle that gets me to where I need to go even if it’s not luxury. Today I also pray that the Lord gives me the serenity, courage and wisdom. I also pray for an open heart and a healing nature to help others…

I’m grateful I’m taking my own advice and changing things up.
I’m grateful I cleaned what I could of the house yesterday instead of working out or exercising because that made me feel better. My back not so much. I’m grateful I didn’t over do it.
I’m grateful my best friend in Austin volunteered to fly out to Cali and nurse me back to health. As long as he didn’t have to wipe my ass :scream:
I’m grateful for another hangover free sober morning. Had my cat and coffee and now it’s Benson time. I’m grateful that’s all I got at the moment and I can be grateful any time I like during the day.
Grateful for gratidudes always.
And yes. I will be able to wipe my own ass :hushed:
:pray:t2::heart:
Stress is who you think you should be.
Peace is who you are.

Today I’m grateful my teeth are ok. Has been 5 years since my last doctor’s appointment. A lot of nervous anxiety and a releasing outcome. I felt so drained afterwards I slept the whole afternoon. Grateful I can take my time for a necessary sleep. Grateful for my cats sleeping on my legs, so calming. Grateful I started to clean the car, I need space for - hopefully! - nice shopping from a lovely gardencenter I will visit on the weekend. Grateful I go on a garden visiting weekend trip tomorrow. This feels like vacation :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Grateful I have the mood and the energy to socialize a bit more, I isolated pretty much for the last months and felt uncomfortable dealing with people in person. Grateful for the meme thread where I found this meme describing exactly what I feel most of the time:

I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I can post my gratitude any time throughout the day, or multiple times. On days where it’s hard to come up with some gratitude, cause they happen to me to Eric either because I do it alot or life has gotten harder I can simply be grateful to log on, read some of y’alls stuff and be grateful that someone is even trying. I’m grateful that I get to make lasagna today. I’m grateful that I have a meeting tonight. I’m grateful for the excersise and music that I’m about to get as I venture over to make lasagna. I’m grateful that one of my friends is already there and started prepping and making the sauce since it does take a while.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

Today I am grateful for:

  • a productive and cheerful day at work (I’m such a miserable toad when I’ve been drinking).
  • for making lots of sober plans for the weekend and loving it.
  • for having the energy to do some decorating after work and staying busy.
  • for the delicious healthy dinner I had with my gorgeous Fiancé
  • for feeling brave enough and well enough to plan an early morning walk run tomorrow.
  • for all the wonders that being sober brings to your life.
  • for being able to get to bed knowing what you did that evening and how you got to bed.
  • for the absence of horrible, depressing, anxiety ridden hangovers. I do not miss those!
  • for God, and for him putting up with me. Not an easy task.
  • to all of you and the positive vibes. You’ll never really know how much good you all do.
    Nite all from the UK. Happy sober Thursday. :hugs::pray::hugs::pray:

So I’m grateful I’m up real early to get dogs walked and drop off car by 9.
I’m grateful for the workout at the fitness center I got in yesterday on their new machines.
I’m grateful I asked for help on the new weight machines and even though I was mostly using them correctly it was worth it.
Gee imagine that. Asking for help. Why is such a simple little thing so hard to want to do?
I’m grateful my guy came by and finally after 2 weeks got my Dogwood and Oregon Grape in the ground.
