Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

I’m grateful for a sober Saturday night.

I’m grateful for the meme war with @Dazercat

I feel better tonight. Quitting smoking funk. It’s been hard. I’m determined. I slipped today. 60 hours is my record. Progress not perfection. I’m grateful to not be beating my self up tonight because I keep slipping. I have been. Not tonight. I’m grateful!

Ciggs are harder to quit than booze or drugs for me. Way harder! It’s stirred up a million memories, shaken up my anxiety, and PTSD. My inner alcoholic likes this. I’ve had some cravings that have been easy to shoot down.I’m grateful.

I’ve been working hard on my YouTube channel. My efforts are working. I’m grateful.

I’ve been working hard on my photos. I’m grateful. I can fill a gallery. Its time!

I’ve been painting. It helps me not smoke. It makes me feel good. I’m grateful!

My inner artist is in full bloom! I’m grateful!

Today, I’m grateful for so many things. For sobriety, life, friends, coffee, family, and my fur babies.

Good morning family.

I am grateful that today is Recovery Sunday.

I am grateful that I listened to my inner wisdom and told each of the women I am close to about my new relationship separately.

I am grateful that everyone has been loving and supportive.

I am grateful that I still feel a sense of caution around some women, I probably always will.

I am grateful for this new relationship and how it is completely opposite to anything I have ever had.

I am grateful for the fun afternoon I had with my kiddo yesterday, and the few tears of joy I shed silently while I listened to her sing in the car.

I am grateful to be present today, to be right where my body is most times and if my mind does wander off it isn’t for long. What a difference this has made in my life. From how I enjoy everything to how I can support people.

I am grateful for meditation and yoga. For my instructor calling me out yesterday when my first vinyasa wasn’t with the class. I was in my head, I was not present and it showed… she let me know and I am grateful for that.

I am grateful that I have no money struggles today, and that I am being wise about my money most days. In a couple years it won’t be this easy for me so I am trying to prepare for that.

I am grateful that I have an amazing camping trip to look forward to on May long weekend. We are heading up to Port Alice (Northern end of the Island), it will be cold and rainy I am sure but so, so beautiful.

I’m grateful to God please help me be my best self just for today while doing your will. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for honesty, open mindedness and wiillingness. I’m grateful for my defects such as procrastination and jealousy, now I need to find the courage to change and work on these things. I’m grateful I can admit reading about all your relationships with pets, kids and partners brings out my jealousy for no good reason. I’m grateful putting this out there into the light may help fix it. I’m grateful that my friends here, ya you, have these things in your lives because you all matter, very much, and desrve to be happy. I’m grateful for the brunch I am ordering right now.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

You are human, and jealousy is a very human emotion that’s only there to tell you something about yourself and what you need. Putting it out here will help, because you’re doing the work to get through it. Big hugs to you. You have a beautiful soul. :hugs:

It’s been a while. Good to see you all.
I have been reading. It feels like I need to start contributing again.
Today I’m grateful for my family. Things are going well at the moment. We’ve just had a few days away together and it was magic. :blue_heart:
Grateful to recognise that my sober resolve has been weakening recently and that I need to address it.
Grateful that life is beginning to return to something resembling normality in Singapore. Masks are now optional outside and social gatherings are now doable. I think this has contributed to my wayward thoughts, though.

I’m grateful to God I’m sober and I’m still here.
I’m grateful I woke up hangover free with a slight “beefy headache :face_with_head_bandage: I’m grateful I didn’t even really like my obnoxiously large prime rib last night. I ordered a small one. :grimacing: I’m grateful I don’t think I’ll have too much trouble adjusting my diet.

I’m grateful we have a solid contract. And I didn’t get all liquored up to celebrate it. I’m grateful for all the work I been doing on it and all the work to come. And doing it all sober. I’m grateful I listened to guidance from my real estate agents. They know the market better than I do.
I’m grateful Alice came out to see me this morning and jumped up on the island while I was making my coffee. This is huge for Alice at her age and health lately.
Good morning Brian :pray:t2:
I’m grateful our friends aren’t coming to see us in May. We got so much going on but we couldn’t say no. It’s a relief. We didn’t want to say no. We really want to see them. It’s just going to be busy as hell for us. We would have graciously fit them in and always have a great time.
I’m grateful God is still putting the right people in the right place at the right time for me. :pray:t2:
I’m grateful for spring snow to come because it won’t be a hassle and won’t last long and will be pretty to look at.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful my back feels pretty cold.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my hot tea.
I’m grateful the room is brightly lit with sun and then next moment it’s cloudy as fuck.
I’m grateful for 2 years and 14 weeks on TS keeping me from drinking. I’m grateful I found this gold mine.
I’m grateful for you all.

I get it- right at Christmas time too🥲. Grief ceremonious planting of her favorite tree or plant of some kind helps. It serves to externalize a little bit of a thriving version of mom in a way.
