Good morning all,
I’m grateful I get a day off today.
I’m grateful for coffee in a pretty flower mug- I’m a sucker for just about anything floral.
I’m grateful I get time to do my gratitude list in the morning. I think it helps my outlook for the day when I do it first, and I find it easier to find things I’m grateful for.
I’m grateful for sunshine, small projects in the house to keep me occupied, and a good Stephen King book to relax with later today.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Today I am grateful…

…to have woken up feeling well-rested, and with more go-to than yesterday - and completely free of headaches and other drinking-related-nastiness.

…for all the support I have and the good good virtual counselling session yesterday.
It’s like a day at the spa for my issues. :joy:

…that I can change up my plans this week and next so that I have more me time and can finish the things I need to. For the support to realize it’s not selfish to take care of myself and my life before others.

…that i really do have everything I need…

…for the dog girl and her company, even her belligerence and her unquestioned expectations as to how things should be: meals, petting, walks, attention, love. She expects them all! and sends out her gratitude in long, contented sighs.

…for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
This morning, for some reason, I thought I’m really fucking grateful I don’t have hangovers anymore. For me I pray that right there will keep me on the right path. I mean, I always got hangovers and felt like shit but still drank that day just to do it again. I must have been out of my fucking mind! WTF :grimacing:
I’m grateful I got the Ol Burner on my lap.
I’m grateful for the nice quiet morning. And I can see out my clean windows :raised_hands:
I’m grateful it’s suppose to be in the 70’s this weekend.
I’m grateful I live in a beautiful part of the world.
I’m grateful we get our second shot next Wednesday and we are getting closer to our trip to Santa Monica. I’m dreaming of all the beautiful flora in Santa Monica. I really love spring. The Jacaranda Trees should be in full bloom.
I’m grateful for the life God has given me.
I’m grateful God always puts the right people in the right place at the right time.
I’m grateful God gives me exactly what I need.
And God gave me you guys to keep me on my sober journey.
:pray:t2::heart:

I am grateful to be sober and choosing to not pick up. I know the kind of misery/depths of hell that comes along with drinking and I want no part of it.

I am grateful for the ‘calm’ app and for all of the helpful meditations it provides so that I can start my day off right.

I am grateful for modern medicine and that I have ibuprofen in my cabinet that I can take to help with my current back discomfort. :cherry_blossom: :two_hearts:

Im grateful that I didn’t crash my car or worse hit somebody as I drove while so drunk last night that I had double vision. I am grateful to have today to again try to get free of this addiction and this time I want to connect with others as I know doing it alone doesn’t work

Today I am grateful…

…to wake up early on my own - I thought I slept late, but the sky is getting light early, which I’m also grateful for.

…to wake sober, to be sober. To have this place where I can feel so understood and supported to be and stay that way. Life when I was drinking was like searching for connection all the time through a full glass. Sober life is like feeling connected to everything I need to be even when I am all alone.

…that I’m more in control of my reactions. That I don’t spend all kinds of time and mental energy writing little stories to fuel my anger at situations. It’s a lot easier to shrug things off that aren’t mine when I’m sober. Not always, but mostly. :wink:

…for the yummy soy scented candles I got yesterday. Sage Berry and Raspberry Grapefruit. Like spring in a jar. (Especially since it’s not spring here!)

…for another day. :orange_heart:

This reminds me: I was looking for a few gifts for pals yesterday, online and at a flower store here in town where I got my candles. There was a beautiful mug with flowers on it and some writing: “I like pretty things. And the word fuck.” :laughing:
