Congratulations that is an amazing accomplishment!
Good morning all,
Iām grateful my family has what we need. Iām grateful my kids love me like they do. Iām grateful my dogs are always so happy to see me. Iām grateful for my husband. Iām grateful for sunshine.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Gāmorning yāall
Iām grateful the synapses are firing this morning. I may overload yāall with my thoughts on the Our Brains and Recovery thread, but Iām taking them as they come. Iām grateful for some extra time today to focus on the good stuff.
Iām grateful for books and the ability to read. Iām grateful when I come across my own thoughts and learn that someone else had them a dozen years ago, a hundred years ago, and even thousands of years ago. In those moments I feel connected to the author, and itās a coming-home feeling.
Iām grateful for good mornings and I love youās. Iām grateful for the beautiful people in my life, near and far.
Thatās awesome! Congrats!
Iām grateful for a later than usual gratitude list this morning. Iām grateful to be back home. Again
Lately I never know where the fuck I am or where Iām waking up SOBER and HANGOVER FREE! So donāt even try. Iām grateful thatās kind of been our life. Our family and irl friends never know where we are. Iām grateful to have such an adventurous life. And Iām more grateful I am enjoying the shit out of it sober.
Iām grateful Benson is chuffing in his bed like he canāt actually be bothered to bark.
Iām grateful I had 2 grays on me last night at 4 am
And I didnāt get shredded. Iām grateful to come home to the love of, butt waging tails and jumps, and tripping kitty bashes on my feet.
Iām grateful Iām calmly proactive now.
Iām grateful I donāt/wonāt to get all worked up after talking to some bozo on the phone who doesnāt know shit about ā¦ā¦ā¦fuck
Iām grateful I calmly call around until I get some answers. Iām grateful I donāt take it out on the bozo, I mean person, on the other end as they are probably doing their best. Or maybe just having a bad day etcā¦ā¦ maybe theyāre trying to quit drinking and stay sober . I donāt know their story.
Iām grateful a big check cleared today, I forgot to transfer funds before I wrote it it would have been pretty embarrassing. Iām grateful my attitude was āSo What?ā Itās a totally easy fixable problem and an honest mistake.
Iām grateful for all the new fun stressful sober excitement challenging my life.
Iām grateful Iām retired.
Iām grateful I think we might have found a pet/house sitter for upcoming trips. They were recommended highly by my real estate agent who knows everyone. Iām grateful I have 3 fantastic real estate agents. Maybe 4
Iām grateful for slow and steady.
Iām grateful for yāall
Iām grateful
Today only happens onceā¦.
Make it amazing
Congratulations Duncan, our True Founder and OP,
on your 3 years of a free better you
What a beautiful thing to see this morning. Iām so delighted you shared. Youāre awesome dude.
I am grateful to be still sober.
I am grateful for fresh and colourful food. It makes me a bit happy.
I am grateful for breathing. I was almost exploding at work. I have an idea of the reason and it makes me sad. I am grateful I used the breathe app when I was boiling.
I am grateful I ran today and my foot is not hurting. Itās been 6 weeks since my last run. I have no intention to run often anymore.
I am grateful I like most of my colleagues.
I am grateful I have enough work.
I am grateful I got out of bed and spend 15 min with yoga. Itās much better than the news.
Grateful for everyone here. I really donāt know that I could do it on my own right now or ever really.
Iām also grateful for my mom today. Sheās my 1st test client for a fitness business Iām trying to very slowly build, reminding me not to let my health/fitness flame die.
It matters so much to me but my mental situation obscures that so many times.
She revealed today that sheās lost 4lbs on my program already in abt 2wks (a steady, healthy rate), while Iāve been nothing but doubting my abilities.
On that note Iām thankful for people who remind me that I have come so far in some ways that I forget
Grateful for being able to rest a while today
Morning,
Today Iām grateful that I didnāt drink yesterday or want to.
Iām grateful to be on this journey, I feel positive. I feel content. I feel gratitude.
Iām proud of myself, for starting this journey, for staying with it and for enjoying it.
Thanks everyone
Grateful for the little things. I am very grateful for the well temperatured shower I just had. The last few weeks it has not been a joyful moment of the day. Water temperature was jumping from hellfire to snowstorm every few minutes. Yesterday the water guy came over and checked it out. He opened a valve somewhere in the cellar and it was all done! Some things are fixed easy, just like that.
Also grateful for some major things, like the discovery of antibiotics.They currently help my brave body fight a major infection. I donāt wanna know what it was like 100 years ago before. That said, I am also super grateful for my countries medical system, that provides quick help. There are so many regions on earth, where access to medicine is not a given.
It is good to have the week off and not to have to worry about my job. I needed the rest.
Every time I take a break from day to day business it feels like more and more emotions are bubbling up, wanting to be acknowledged. I am glad that happens. I know now, that its ok. They come, they stay for a while, they go. And everything will feel better afterwards. Itās a step I couldnāt start learning, while I was still drinking. I am most grateful for that.
I am grateful for the earth, how it can take emotions and things I can no longer hold on my own
Iām gratefulā¦ā¦. Fucken aye, Iām grateful for so much.
A good nights rest.
Mavy knowing I couldnāt sleep at 4 am and coming over and settling on my shoulder and neck.
Getting back to sleep.
Bedtime mediās
Wonderful Pilates instructors.
Great real estate agents.
God. Not necessarily Iām this order. But yes Iām grateful for God.
The desert.
The mountains.
Saguaro
Ponderosa pines.
My wife. Again not in order
My pets.
My children. And their spouses.
All of you
Another fucking day sober.
Drinking doesnāt even seem like an option anymore.
Good health.
An extraordinary year ahead ODAAT God Willing.
My fucken recovery ā¤ļøāš©¹
My life is not perfect but
Iām grateful for everything I have
Simple Reminders
Iām grateful for the earth, too. Iām sure it wonāt even sound silly to some people that I stand on tree roots with my bare feet. I sit on boulders that are in flowing water and the energy flows into me and recharges my spirit. Iām grateful for learning at a young age that the earth is able to take my emotions when I simply canāt. Thanks for sharing this, Caroline.
I am grateful forā¦
My body and the strength it is showing me.
My new friend and his compassionate nature.
My child and the effort she puts into her schoolwork.
My parents and their childlike curiosities
My home, my car and the money I have to take care of them both.
My new sponsee whose zest for recovery is refreshing.
My jeans and the fact they saved my leg from a more damaging love bite from nuggie.
All the love that surrounds me everyday.
My recovery and the lessons itās teaching me.
Iām grateful my son is 2 weeks sober today! Iām grateful heās eating healthier and eating every day.
Iām grateful to have learned about The Human Library. How did I not know about this?! What a beautiful, and necessary, concept.
Iām grateful for my house. It has held my home (my family and friends) for nearly 14 years now. Iām grateful that I settled here after so many moves.
Iām grateful to know that love doesnāt make everything better in a relationship. It takes effort, communication, companionship, respect, honesty, gratitude, trust, mutual intimacy, listening and feeling heardā¦ I could go on and on. Iāve always loved the thoughts of Ursula K. Le Guin from a book she wrote:
āLove doesnāt just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.ā
Iām grateful to know that love isnāt something that happens to us, itās something we do. I want to remember that all the days of my life, even when itās hard to remember. We have to keep making love.
This.
Iām thankful that for the past 141 days Iāve been sober.
Thankful to my God Jehovah for his patience and love.
Thankful to my wife for her patience in dealing with me the past 20 years.
Thankful to be alive and well.
Good evening all,
Iām grateful I got off work early and was able to take my daughter shopping for a dress for the school dance tomorrow. Iām grateful my husband made a delicious dinner. Iām grateful I got my workout clothes on and tried to make myself workout, but realized Iām to tired today so I will rest. Iām grateful for my home and my family. Iām grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I thinks thats cool!
On the way out when I can, I like to stand in a grounded position, and connect with Mother ocean. I pull her energy up into my dantian and exhale mine back out. I prefer to be alone in that. That why I only do it when I can. I feel connected to her. We have a bond.
I feel a strong earth connection in the forest too.
