Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

I am extremely grateful to be on my 11th day without alcohol. I feel really good today and appreciate the spring weather giving me additional pep in my step. I am grateful for the welcoming meeting of women I experienced yesterday and the busy evening of work last night to keep my mind productive and satisfied. I am most grateful for the wonderful night of sleep I had last night and waking without a hangover. Oh and every podcast I listen to lately features guests who are sober and talking about it even though that’s not really the basis of the show – God? Universe? Serendipity? To whomever it is, I am grateful!

I’m grateful that I live alone and I can do as I please in my home. I’m grateful that I have birds singing outside my window from sunrise till sunset. I’m grateful for free electricity and hot water so I can enjoy hot showers twice a day. I’m grateful for my couch blanket because it keeps me warm and cozy. I’m grateful for my breath because it means that I am still alive :heart:

Good morning all, today I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful that today will not be great, but it won’t last forever, and I’m off tomorrow.

Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

I’m grateful for my new haircut. I’m grateful that I get to see my family this weekend. I’m grateful for the taxi driver who said with such sincerity he ‘wished me luck and a happy life’ - my emotions are so raw that I teared up a little when I got out of the car. I’m trying to be grateful for how horrid and ashamed I feel, as I know i can use it as fuel for change. I’m grateful that I appreciate my own strength and know that if I fully commit to being sober, I will do it. I’m grateful to have done 2 weeks.
I’m also very, very tired. Did anyone else find that in the early weeks of their journey all of this thinking and reflection felt all consuming at times?

Today I’m grateful for a nice, intense day. Grateful my car is getting its annual service. Grateful we found some good ideas for furniture. Grateful for yummi food from our preferred restaurant. Grateful for a recorded really stupid film we watched commented, the program is called SchlefaZ. Die schlechtesten Filme aller Zeiten, worst movies ever. It’s hillarious, we have been fans from the start. Grateful to go to bed sober and sure I’ll dream some nonsense :grin::pray:

Super grateful recovering addict checking in today.
Recovery has blessed me with so much to be grateful for. It has given me my family back, it has given me my desire to live back, it has given me something to live for. Recovery has given me the strength, hope and freedom that I have always craved in my life. I didn’t know how to get it, I was too scared to ask for help, I was too scared I wouldn’t belong, I was too scared of failure. It takes a lot of courage to commit to a completely new way of living where around every corner waits some new challenge or some new feeling. I, my friends, can not remember a time I have ever felt more alive and for that I am so, so grateful.
I finished high school today, and for the first time in my life I feel pride.
