Well, I don’t want to ever miss a morning of gratitude but technically since I haven’t been to bed yet and ended up in the ER all night it’s not morning yet for me.
Bottom line is I’m good. I’m grateful they stopped the bleeding. More like leakage at the catheter insert site.
I’ll be really grateful if the magic clotting powder works and it doesn’t bleed again.
So I’m just grateful to be sober and handle life in a very unusually calm way. I does help that I have no plans or job or pets to feed. It’s like great sober feels times ten. What a wonderful time of my life to be sober AF. Thank God. And I know………
I’m a bad ass I done some homework.
Love you guys. Sending this little message as you go about your way, May your troubles be few, joy plenty and peace fill your day Inspire Your beautiful soul.
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 ongoing recovery from cigarettes, drugs and booze. I’m grateful for my family and the nice e-mails with Mom lately. I’m grateful for my friends and that they keep me grounded, supported, entertained and challenged. I’m grateful for the nice sunny weather today. I’m grateful that I have been up all day and got some things accomplished that I have had on my list for weeks. I’m grateful that I get to cook some pork tenderloin on the Bbq for dinner. I’m grateful that I have an AA meeting at my sponsors tonight. I’m grateful for all the gratidudes.
God bless you all. &
Grateful being sober.
Grateful for watching the girls. Grateful they are playing, eating, pooping in their boxes. Grateful they let me sleep.
Grateful I have a job. Grateful I get through the day. I have absolutely no clue how I managed to get drunk almost every night and still being more active than I am atm. I feel drained. Maybe it’s good that I recognise it and don’t overdo it. Corona isolation was not good and killed what was left of my motivation and will to connect here. Hate it here.
Sorry, wrong thread. Grateful you can just mute me or not read.
feeling really motivated this morning and getting some little personal jobs done
for starting to feel less tired, especially in the mornings.
for managing to find a new local swimming pool that I’m going to try out on Monday morning. I used to love a swim before work.
for going to the supermarket tonight and not even thinking about buying alcohol.
for my warm comfortable bed.
for knowing I will be hangover free again tomorrow morning.
for @Dazercat being ok. Sorry I’ve been away too long Eric so I’m not sure what’s happening but I really hope you get well and are back with your babies soon.
Happy sober Wednesday everyone!
Good morning, all.
Grateful to be clear headed again on this beautiful summer morning. Grateful that I am off work, so I can just roll back over after a not so great sleep.
Grateful that my 50 year old body can still walk, plank and wall sit - amongst other things.
Grateful for my wife. I don’t understand her a lot of the time, but I love her all the same. And don’t get me started on my kids.
Grateful for my friends, both near and far, in real life and in this forum. Inspired by your post @I.cant.We.can
Grateful for every single little creature comfort that I have acquired over the years that makes my life more comfortable. Just having a roof over my head and running water makes me a wealthy man. I should never lose sight of that.
Grateful for all of your posts on here. Every one of them makes an impression on me.
Have a great day, all.
I am grateful that I have found enough humility to listen to my body as it threatens to quit on me.
For the games I played with my dad.
That Nuggets food finally arrived on order today, although she was getting pretty used to oatmeal.
That people find me approachable enough to talk to in public… I am not sure that has always been the case.
For the smell of the ocean, and the feeling of dog whiskers on my skin.
I am grateful that I can go to bed whenever I want without explaining myself to anyone. I’m so grateful for that.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful to see all of you guys on here! Glad @Dazercat is recovering, glad @I.cant.We.can is grilling dinner, glad for all of the gratitude. @anon74766472, read one of your check ins that talked about mood swings- just want to say that I have also been struggling with that, and with the frustration with myself that it brings. Im grateful that you share thoughts like that because it helps me to know that I’m not the only one.
Im grateful to be sitting in a rocking chair on my back porch watching my husband water the garden. Im grateful that my journaling seems to have helped swing me out of the funky mood I was in. Im grateful that I got a book that @Tomek recommended on another thread-The Choice by Dr. Edith Eva Eger. Pretty good so far.
Grateful for you guys! Everyone have a wonderful evening
I concur these are the kinds of things that help this community thrive, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.
Also I always appreciate getting a shout out thanks @Singtone and @Sunflower1
I’m grateful the grilling turned out delicious today.
I’m grateful that one of my exes just called for support and we were able to talk about life for an hour, so differently than we did 20 years ago. I’m grateful that my place is very quiet tonight and that I will have the place to myself tomorrow and possibly for a few days. I’m grateful that I was at a fantastic AA meeting tonight. I’m grateful that my housemates have gone back in for treatment finally after admitting there relapsing and I hope I can help support them enough moving forward that this doesn’t have to keep happening. I am grateful for my family. I’m grateful that they have cats at the treatment center and one of them came and sat with me a few times this afternoon.
I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you.
God bless you all. &
I’m grateful to be where I am today. Hard things happen in life, sad things, but today is a good day and all the things that have happened have helped shape today and my perspective of it. I’m grateful for that, to be able to see this.
I’m grateful that we got a little work bonus last week. And that the Cdn Gov re-assessed my taxes and returned some $ to me. Crazy! I’m grateful to be sober, and that I used these amounts to cover an unexpected car servicing appointment today, and will use the rest to cover the lawyer’s fees for my Will and documents (signed today). I was feeling all adulty and responsible about it, but also like I deserved something. When the cashier rang my organic cherries through the till at the end of the day, and asked if I still wanted them (pricey), I said “yep, cheaper than a bottle of wine”. She got all excited because she turned her wine budget into her healthy food budget a while ago too! Grateful for these moments that just happen - these kindred spirits that pop up all over.
I’m grateful for the deer I saw bounding away when they saw the dog girl - just beautiful.
Today I’m grateful I took the time to come here, read around, check in and remind myself how valuable this is for me. I’m completely out of routine and sometimes feel like I fell out of time. I’m grateful it rained finally, nature needed it. Grateful for my lovely cats, for fresh vegetable, for a lot of things getting done, for my home to become comfortable again (was & partly still is a unholy mess). Grateful I grant myself rest and sleep when I need it. Grateful I can keep distance from stressing situations. Grateful for good talks with friends. Grateful for the washing machine, mountains of laundry are washed away with its help. Grateful I live now and not 150 years ago. Grateful I have time to think of all the inventions that where already there in the 1920s. More or less basics of everything we have now besides TV and Internet. Interesting and makes me grateful for all the daily technical helpers we have.
I’m grateful I’m feeling great today! This morning! Right now!
I’m grateful for my daughter.
I’m grateful I can take a shower today.
I’m grateful I can walk a little today.
I’m grateful there’s no pain or bleeding this morning or at all from last night.
I’m grateful my day will be lunch with my D. Nap. And dinner with my D.
I’m grateful to God for all the talents of my cardiologist and his team to learn the knowledge and skills to do what they do.
I’m grateful for all health care workers.
I’m so fucking grateful to be sober during all this.
I’m grateful my wife keeps sending me cat and dog pics.
I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful to read everyone else’s gratitude on here.
I’m grateful to be able to wash the blood out of the short and curlies this morning TMI?
family that live close by that can help me with DIY jobs around the house.
another successful trip to the supermarket with no urge to buy alcohol. I know that the urge may come at some point but right now, I’m so grateful to be feeling so strong.
the feel of new carpet in our living room. It’s an amazing luxury and privilege. No more outside shoes allowed in the house!
for finally finishing all the decorating. I don’t want to even look at another pot of paint for at least a year!
for fizzy water and fancy cordials, yummy.
for starting to learn to rest when I feel tired, instead of filling my body full of poison to try and keep myself going. This seriously doesn’t work.
for the joy of waking up sober, even if my sleep isn’t quite what it should be yet. It’s a lot better than drunken sleep.
Happy sober Thursday everyone!
Good morning, all.
Grateful to be sober and hangover free again on another summer morning.
Grateful that my wife and I had a good long talk last night and got a few things straightened out. The universe just runs a lot smoother when we are seeing eye to eye.
Grateful that my friend is coming to pick me up shortly and that we are going to go for a big hike up a steep hill. He has stopped drinking for the last 10 days. I’m looking forward to chatting to him about how great he feels.
Grateful that another friend has invited me over to his place this afternoon. Friendship is extraordinarily important to me. I used to drink a lot with this guy and we’ve not seen so much of each other recently.
Grateful that my kids are eager to make Chinese dumplings for dinner this evening. It’s a joy to collaborate and make a great dinner from scratch.
Just simple things about my day that I am really grateful for and looking forward to.
Grateful for all of your thoughts and shares in here. They matter to me.
Have a great day, all.
Grateful to have spent the late morning and afternoon at a picnic with my family, seeing aunts and uncles I don’t see very often.
Grateful for my daughter and her caring nature.
Grateful for a full belly and an abundance of food in my fridge.
Grateful for music and books.
Grateful for the fellowship I feel through this forum and NA.
Grateful for all the flowers in our garden that I can make arrangements with to decorate my home.
I’m grateful to God for all the people, places and things he puts in my path. I’m grateful that through this practice of gratitude and attempting to do the right thing I can now see even the “bad” people, places and things have helped to make me who I am. I’m grateful that I accomplished another few tasks off my “extra” to do list beyond what has become my usual stay in recovery routine. I am very grateful to read all of your gratitude.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Stay strong friends and know you are amazing. Ya you!!
I done some homework.
