Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

Grateful I am studying today, a little later than most but still, I’m doing it.
Grateful to be:
Alive
Sober
Seemingly healthy
Not currently depressed
To have friends
To have family
To have shelter
To be warm
To be studying even though I question it sometimes
Able to use TS
Able to attend meetings with regulars
Able to work the steps now with my sponsors…

Grateful to feel a sense of warmth, happiness, love, and I suppose gratitude when writing this. Something I haven’t always known how to feel, and something I think I truely am learning to know how to express and subsequently feel. I’m grateful I can emotionally, physiologically feel it, perhaps not currently spiritually, but grateful for the opportunity to work towards that trifecta…

Have a wonderful day all, lots of loves.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful that I’m up very early this morning, drinking coffee while wrapped up in a blanket and listening to the rain come down. I’m grateful for yesterday, that I was able to help my mom get my Granny moved into a better ground floor apartment. She has a beautiful view of the pool, a beautiful hibiscus bush on the patio, and best of all, no flight of concrete stairs for an 87 year old to climb and descend! I’m grateful that my sister came to help as well. I’m grateful that I saw on the check in thread that @M-be-free49 had a birthday-HAPPY BIRTHDAY :partying_face:!! And the mug is perfect!

Wow…
I have a lot to be grateful for today but there is one thing in particular that seems to be shining the brightest.

I am so grateful for this community, I have never experienced anything like it. Real time miracles happening before my eyes on a daily basis. “The therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parellel” and it shows. Knowing that someone else has literally felt what you are feeling body, mind and spirit… well nothing beats it as far as I am concerned.

:pray:

Good morning all,
I’m grateful that I have parents who are always willing to help me out. I’m grateful for the long conversation with my Dad yesterday morning about all manner of things, and that my Mom joined in when she woke up. I’m grateful for my kids and hopeful that I will be able to give the same to them. I’m grateful for my husband, we have been communicating more, and that is wonderful. I’m grateful that sobriety let me hear and accept his views during and argument a while ago, and I’m trying to make him feel more heard. I don’t think I would have been able to do this if I were still drinking. Nothing was my fault then, just problems with everyone and everything else haha!
I’m grateful for this thread- I come to it often on hard days, or down days, and I can always count on you guys to lift me back up.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:
