Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude is the air of recovery

Today I am greatful for:

  1. My son ringing me and telling me he is coming home for few days from Uni next week.
  2. For another sober day
  3. For the lovely park I live near and for my dog walk around it
  4. For feeling so tired I know I will sleep well, tired from being busy not hungover
  5. another mention for my electric blanket
  6. For more stable emotions
  7. For here and you all I would never be sober otherwise

Off to bed , catch you in morning

So grateful for my 115 days sober and the positive changes I’m seeing from my efforts. Life is still up and down but so much easier to face when sober. :hibiscus::sunflower::heart::slightly_smiling_face:

Rotten days call for more gratitude practice. I’m grateful my partner is attentive and can be because he is here working from home for the time being. That when he asks what he can do for me and I say, “you’ve done enough and I appreciate you” he can stop and focus on work (I hope). I’m grateful I can talk to my Mami pretty honestly about how I’m doing, in a general sense, and that she can share with me too. I’m grateful we are both in a better place emotionally today. We seem really tied together in that way, it’s interesting. Yesterday was all blue skies and today is all damp and grey and yet we’re feeling better. I’m grateful for space heaters! I think someone else has mentioned that, and I have yet to break out the electric blankets but they’re ready to go! I’m grateful for dreaming about food to cook and for the inspiration I find from the foodie thread, lately a lot from @Hailstrom and his vegetarian/vegan delights.

I’m grateful that working on myself has helped me to deal with tough stuff and to be more honest. And I’m grateful for my amigos here. :heartpulse:

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.

I am grateful I got a walk in before I go in for my night shift.

I am grateful for my fiance’/partner and how we help each other out in little ways everyday.

I am grateful that I got 7 hours of sleep.

I am grateful to have Christmas decorations up and for the pretty lighting that provides.

I am so grateful I am not headed to work with the shakes, nausea, and a racing heart.

I am grateful to be here. :two_hearts:

Waking up hurting and feeling sick. I’m feeling annoyed by my adult responsibilities today so I figured I needed to recognize and be grateful instead.
I have a second interview tonight with the engineering firm and since they asked it’s been a challenge to keep the “you’re not ___ enough” thoughts away. I’m grateful they’re still considering me. I’m grateful for a chance to practice my interview skills even if it doesn’t go anywhere.
I also need to find a time to work with my new recruiter and schedule an interview with another organization. It’s such a challenge to find time when I work 7-4 m-f. It feels like looking for a job is a full-time job and I can feel some overwhelm building in me. I’m grateful to have these opportunities! I need to stay focused on that.

I’m grateful this transitional time is temporary. I’m grateful that I can hear a dozen “Nos” during the interview process and not have to assign that to my worth. I’m grateful it only takes one “yes” for things to change. I’m grateful I can have faith in the process and that someplace will be a good fit for me. Meditation. Work. Meeting. Interview. I’m grateful for routine!
Good day everyone :heart: grateful for you sharing your gratitude!

I’m grateful Daisy beat me to my chair again. And Benson didn’t care. So I’m grateful to have cat and dog on my lap this morning. This 700th morning sober without a hangover. I’m grateful for ODAAT.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today.
And I’m grateful I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful I slept all night on my back last night and my back is pretty much not stiff this morning. I’m grateful my back isn’t hurting this morning but I’m always so cautiously optimistic about my back pain. Like a lot of things in life, I feel if I’m too optimistic, I’ll “jinx it.” I’m not sure what that’s all about?
Am I afraid to let my pain go? Or am I just cautious knowing I could hurt it again doing the slightest little thing? Imagine just letting go of the pain :thinking:
I’m grateful I’m continuing to read my Dad’s book Pain My Friend. I haven’t been able to relax and get into a book forever unless it’s self help. I’m grateful it seems as though, once again, God is giving me exactly what I need.
I’m grateful for my parents and how they managed and raised 3 kids with a disabled father/husband on a lousy teachers salary my mother got.
I’m grateful for my mom.
I’m grateful for another morning. I can’t wait for the darn heater to shut down and finally have a quiet morning. I’m grateful my wife sleeps in later than me so I have my morning time to myself every morning.
I’m grateful for early evening walks and sneaking Benson out with me yesterday. 3 days in a row.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful for my old dog girl Minnie.

Gratitude is the music of the heart, when its chords are swept by the breeze of kindness.

Side note.
I always proof read my posts.
I’m wondering why I wrote,
“Am I afraid to let MY pain go.”
Instead of writing
“Am I afraid to let GO of my pain.” :thinking:
Huh. :thinking:

I am grateful for " Deep Thoughts with Eric" this morning and I am grateful for the 8 week course I just took on pain management and mindfulness. I am always grateful for the resources available to me through our government. I am grateful for the reminders ( sometimes I can forget) that when we do not accept things for what they are and hold onto things it causes more suffering. And yes if we take ourselves out of the present moment we can find a slew of reasons not to let go.

I am grateful to have done most of my shopping for the holidays. Christmas will be light this year. Its not because I don’t have the money, it’s because I am not trying to fill emptiness with material things. I have spent so much quality time with my family over the last two years creating beautiful memories none of us want for anything.

I am grateful that Annie seems to be thriving. I am grateful for Lacey’s squeaky old lady bark . I am grateful that over all of the years I have introduced new dogs to my pack I have never had any problems, even with packs up to 8. It’s just taken patience and observation.

I am grateful to be feeling a little more peaceful inside today. I am very grateful that things don’t stay the same. I am grateful that yesterday’s mindfulness class was on radical acceptance and that it came at the best time. I was grateful for the refresher.
