Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

So grateful for my work place being flexible and understanding with what I’m going through. I work for a local, family owned business and being transparent has worked in my favor.
It’s been easy for me to hide things when working for larger corporations, but knowing that where I spend the majority of my time is a “safe space,” has helped make the transition to sobriety smoother :heart:

I’m saddened to hear my brother @Dazercat is sick but look at you go buddy finding some gratitude and positivity, awesome, feel free to go vent on the H.a.l.t. thread , grateful to read @Sunflower1 is putting it practical use and sending strength to you. @Scrammbles I like darts too. @Dan531 showing us to keep showing up no matter what, you got five mins and you are here thanks for that example, Hugs to you sir. @Singtone 360 days good for you congrats. @RosaCanDo snow, hubby and puppy, pretty blessed :innocent: @LAB sticking with good decision, right on ,great stuff. @M-be-free49 hope your travels are going safe and well

I’m grateful to God please help guide me through the rest of today clean, sober and safe. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for this time off. I’m grateful that I can do my best to support my housemates, sponsees and other guys from the treatment center. They decided as of today to not allow any visitor’s as covid numbers are rising, as a result I am getting a few more phone calls, texts and visitors than usual, I like it they don’t, necessarily, Lol. I was already on the list of non visitors and use my supports outside of the treatment center. Unfortunately some of my brethren don’t have this kind of format or don’t go to AA or NA. I try to show these guys through my actions and words that you need a multi teared support network or at least I do. I was/am sick as fuck, it has taken/take’s s a village to help some of us Lmao I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for music ahh music. I’m grateful that my parents went to visit my sister today and they quickly called to say hi to me and hoping my time off is going well, so sweet, love them. I’m grateful that my friend and I are getting together for a visit and cards tomorrow. I am grateful that when he said it is also his 32 birthday tomorrow I can afford to treat us to some dinner somewhere. I’m grateful for the 12 steps and the people in the rooms. I’m grateful to be hungry and have the time to make something nice for just me.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are capable of great things. Ya you!!

I am grateful for today. I am grateful for this community and the amazing people in it. I’m grateful for my husband, he is most amazing human. I am grateful for my kids, they are such kind, good humans and I am proud of them. I am grateful that the two kids haven’t gotten any worse from Covid, we test again tomorrow. I am grateful no one else in my house has tested positive and it’s been over a week :pray::pray:. I am grateful for free will. I am grateful I am in a warm house with food in the oven (and it smells good) :grin:. I am grateful for the opportunity to be sober and the courage and desire to do it. I am grateful earlier this year in the summer, another sober almost month I had, I went sky diving (tandem) and it was the most amazing thing and I want to focus on getting certified to jump on my own now that I’m sober. I am grateful I able to do things I love and explore new things.

I’m grateful to get home safe and sound from crabbing.
I’m grateful to celebrate a huge milestone today!
@Its_me_Stella completed her second trip around the sun sober today! How cool is that? It’s awesome!
I’m grateful to have shared the path with you. You being here has helped my recovery. I’m grateful!
Im grateful for everything you share about your journey. Huge congrats! I hope you did something nice for yourself today. You deserve it!

Skippers inner alcoholic is humble today. He is filled with the guilt, shame and remorse. He said he has quit drinking. Today is day three. He wasn’t whining about it, but I could tell he feels like shit. Not just for what happened. Physically too. I know how he feels. I’m grateful for how good being a non-drinker feels.

I’m grateful he wants to be sober. He has been on one lately. He was much easier to work with today. Finishing the season just got easier. I’m grateful to be a good example. He was explaining what happened and I said that’s why I quit. Same exact shit. Good behavior for a while and the unpredictability of Mr. Hyde coming out. It’s not fun.

Things are looking positive for skippers recovery. I’m grateful! Even my buddy whos been cracking cold ones on the way in was talking about quitting drinking today.
No beers were drank on the boat today for the first time this season. I am grateful!

That might be a state record. Four clean and sober crabbers on a boat all day.

I’m really grateful for this thread and all of you. I’m grateful for this forum and all the support available here.

I have to go and get the dock fees transferred into my name. Here come the bills and I haven’t even put her in the water yet. I still have no buyers remorse. I am grateful.

Matt got over it. He was his normal self today. We are good. I’m grateful!

Gratitude has become a cornerstone in my recovery foundation. It makes everything easier. I’m grateful!

I am grateful for Epic sagas like Star Wars and many more. I just started watching the new Boba Fett on Disney and had to come say even after 30+ years of watching this guy, a lot of the characters still draw me in. My inner child is beaming. :v:

I am grateful to be sober. Saw a Danish movie yesterday, called der Rausch where some teachers tried to enhance their skills/life by having a constant level of alcohol. It failed. Who wonders. I am grateful I don’t doubt this anymore. I am grateful I was not thinking, ahhh how funny it was to stumble the stairs upwards and feeling like shit. When I watch a movie like this I can grasp the feeling. Thank you mirror neurons.
I am grateful that all went well with Dora and Paula over the holidays.
I am even glad I went home for Christmas as I don’t want to be in public transport during the next few months tbh.
I am grateful that for most things I face in life there is a solution. I am happy the cats eat the new wet food.
I am grateful for this thread and all you guys participating and sharing.

congrats on two years that is so awesome. I have been slacking the last couple of weeks so to see your milestone is very encouraging so thank you but I really must say that being “graciously hood-like” made my 2021 thanks hun

I’m grateful waking up after a great night’s sleep. For staying strong yesterday on a very weak moment, i was angry and annoyed and had a great urge to start drinking. But i stayed quiet, took deep breaths, told myself no. It worked. Grateful for having made appointments with friends i hardly see these days because we live wide apart. Grateful for my job and contract renewal next week. They have taken me on for the second time while i felt i didn’t deserve a second chance but they are very kind. I started off already bad and ungrateful again, showing up with hangovers, but now it’s different. Grateful also that financially i’m doing really ok.

I’m grateful for dogs and kitties. Particularly mine :blush:
I’m grateful for my comfy, cozy bed. I’m grateful for my 94th sober morning. I’m grateful for empathy and compassion. I’m grateful that it’s been a big part of my recovery thus far, both giving and receiving. I’m grateful that I’m learning about shame and worthiness and how it fed my addiction. I’m grateful that we are all equals here, that we are all addicts, and that our shared humanity can help heal us. That it may not keep us all sober, but it sure gives us a better shot.
