Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

Good morning all,
Today I’m grateful for a wonderful day hiking up in the mountains with my mom and kids. I’m grateful that we are all willing and able to do this. I’m grateful to read what @Irisees919 wrote about living simply- you are right a simple life is very fulfilling. I’m going to repeat this to myself today, as I have time off of work and struggle to not pack the days full of “stuff to do” so I don’t feel like I’ve wasted the time. Today, I will take care of my home, read my new book, drink tea, and relax.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful my old “dog girl” credit M. I’m stealing it. I love that phrase. My old dog girl looks and is acting so well back here at home. She seems revitalize now that she’s out of the city and back on her trails in her hood. She’s so excited to be pulling me on the trails.
I’m grateful I’m learning to be grateful to be home too. I do miss having a restaurant or bakery or my spa a block away from my home. But the solitude of the forest in the mountains is a blessing too.
I’m grateful it’s so dang quiet up here.
Maybe as an addict all my life I thrived on chaos and I really enjoy the chaos of city living. And now as I said I’m back in the woods living in wonderful solitude. I guess I’m grateful I am blessed to be able to live in both worlds. And I do them both sober now.
I grateful for the way this thread starts my day.
I grateful for the rain yesterday. It was a good soaking.
I’m grateful for my great big beautiful deck.
I’m grateful I’m vaccinated.
I’m grateful for air conditioning. Although we haven’t needed it much.
I’m grateful for the eerie sounds of silence.
I’m grateful I can share more than just my gratitude on this thread. It’s how I roll :kissing_closed_eyes:
:pray:t2::heart:

Some days your greatest
accomplishment- in recovery- will simply be, not taking a drink.
That’s good enough.
Trust and believe.

I struggle with this so fucking much. I always feel if I’m not doing “something” “anything” I’m a bum. I know, I know it’s not true. But the feelings of this are real.

And all that “efforting” is exhausting isn’t it?
I’m so grateful for these shares.
Thank you.

I’m grateful for early nights. And for the snippets of time in the day that I get to catch up on this thread. I’m grateful for hot drinks after cold swims. I’m grateful for my healing fractured foot - I can’t run again yet but I can go on long walks at sunset. Grateful for pets, always. For my 2nd jab tomorrow. For dinner plans with friends. For tiring but productive days.

I’m grateful to be here. Grateful to be present. Grateful to be here with you all. Grateful to all of you for sharing your struggles, sharing your victories and sharing all your inbetweens. Grateful to come home after my five days working week with four days off ahead. Grateful to find my little cat waiting for me here, happy to see me, firstly to be fed of course, but also because she wants my attention and I want hers.
Grateful I can go to my therapy group tomorrow and try to better myself. Grateful I found enough of myself to decide to go my life sober and clean and give myself a chance to a better life. Grateful for the insights and knowledge I am gaining, even though some of those insights are hard truths. Grateful I am strong enough to take these hard truths and try to learn from them.
Grateful to TS, for without it I wouldn’t be where I am now, which is a much better place as where I was two years ago. Love and thanks to you all.

No glue.
Just kind of pull them apart and back in the box.
Likely donated to kids next door or take in to work. They sometimes put one out on one of the large tables for staff to work on when they feel like a break or a bit of stress relief. People pick away at them getting a piece or two at a time and it seems to help with general office well-being

The trays actually came in a puzzle i got from Costco. Super handy. I didn’t even realise the puzzle came with them till i opened it. Pleasant surprise.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful we got a little rain yesterday ( VERY little where I live, but more around us), and the cloudy, gray skies were beautiful. I’m grateful to have spent the evening curled up on the couch with my kids, one on each of my shoulder like when they were small, watching a documentary. I’m grateful that because I am sober, I was able to take a step back from a situation with my husband yesterday, instead of also getting upset and engaging in an argument.
I’m grateful that evening time is no longer a trigger for me. Nor is having time off of work. But it does make me wonder what WILL trigger me, and when. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Grateful for this thread, and everyone on it. Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

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 all my family and friends and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful that it’s Canada day if only because some of my family and friends get a day off. I’m grateful that my housemate is getting me coffee and breakfast. I’m grateful for having and hearing a good share and asking for advice at the AA meeting last night. I’m grateful that I have time to relax this morning and just be still and not worry about efforting something it sounds like we all get caught up in.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are doing great thanks for being here. Ya you!!
