Iā€™m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through a productive day. Iā€™m grateful for recovery. Iā€™m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. Iā€™m grateful I made it to work on time to open and stayed positive and present. Iā€™m grateful I took a 20 min. nap this afternoon. Iā€™m grateful I went to my NA homegroup and handed over the treasurer duties as I will be leaving that group soon, when I move on May 19th I will be in a different NA service area and will find a way to help there. Iā€™m grateful my clean date for drugs is the 17th so today marks 27 fucking months woooo without the shit that, ruled, ruined, and shaped so much of my life. Iā€™m grateful that I can accept what I have and havenā€™t done with the help of this place, NA, AA, a higher power, treatment, family, therapyā€¦ it takes a village they say Lol. Iā€™m grateful I called my Mom to wish her a Happy Easter before logging on here to post. Iā€™m grateful I read a bunch earlier today and that I always read all your gratitudes. Iā€™m grateful for daily readings and prayers.

God, please help me rest well tonight. Shine your healing light through me, let it ease my pains, mental, physical and spiritual, let it keep my darkness at bay. Allow it to shine through me so I may not get lost and have the strength to help others. In your name I pray and remain your humble, loyal and loving servant. Amen.

God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Happy Easter!! Donā€™t forget you rock. Ya you!!

I was having a super great day. My husband came home.We arenā€™t getting along. Iā€™m trying to hold my Shit together because I donā€™t want to fight in front of our daughter. Iā€™m holding in so much anger I feel like Iā€™m going to explode. Iā€™ve tried removing myselfā€¦my daughter knows we are upset. I want to slam a cupboard or kick a wall but I wonā€™t. I know it will upset everyone more. I think it all comes down to my husbands drinking. I can mostly handle it ok, but then I think Iā€™m building up this resentment. Iā€™m gonna have to look more at some of the threads about this or join a group. This anger and resentment is soooo bad for me and everyone around me. I just realized I posted on the wrong threadā€¦ Sorry. I tried to move it. Oh boyā€¦ Maybe itā€™s a sign I should talk about what Iā€™m grateful for-Iā€™m grateful for sunshine. Iā€™m grateful for the ocean. Iā€™m grateful for breath. Iā€™m grateful for my fur babies. Iā€™m grateful to have a place to share and ventā€‹:heart:-Iā€™m grateful I did NOT slam a cupboard or kick a wall. Iā€™m grateful I am in control of my emotions even if I canā€™t control others.oh and one moreā€¦soooo grateful I havenā€™t even thought about drink even through all of this!!! Wow!! I just realized that!!! Amazing!!! Thank you allā€‹:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

Iā€™m grateful for a lovely Easter Sunday. Low key just the 2 of us, dog walk, exercise walk in nature with my Christian playlists, brunch, deck time, nap time, chat with friends from Austin for an hour and a half :scream: saw the Celtics win a buzzer beater. And thatā€™s all of the game I saw basically. Grateful to blow off an offer on the condo. Itā€™ll be there tomorrow. Or Not :man_shrugging: Iā€™m grateful I needed and took a day off and rested.
Iā€™m grateful for pics of my son and grand baby momma in the sun at the beach on their Babymoon, they are having so much fun. Iā€™m grateful we are planning on seeing them soon before Norma G. Is born. Iā€™m grateful for all the exciting, adventurous, life changing happenings coming up this year. And Iā€™ll be sober for ALL of it. One little day at a time.
Iā€™m grateful Alice, was my coffee buddy this morning yelling at me to finish making it so we could sit in my chair.
Iā€™m grateful my wife signed us up for our second booster shot today and all the little errands weā€™ll get done around it and lunch.
Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t drink bottomless mimosas and double bloody Maryā€™s and endless desserts at the brunch yesterday. Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t have to explain to servers and bartenders just how I like my drink only for them still fuck it up because I was such a critical drink snob. I love just ordering my green ice tea with lemon. Iā€™m grateful when I take a nap in the afternoon itā€™s not from drinking my lunch or brunch.
Iā€™m grateful for Mavy neck snuggles last night in bed and the soft rhythmic breathing right in my ear hole. Also grateful heā€™s generally good for only 5-7 minutes of that and letā€™s me get back to sleep.
Iā€™m grateful for my blessings and morning quiet time and sharing it with guys guys. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
:pray:t2::purple_heart::cactus:

Stop trying to calm the storm.
Calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Feel like I really need to express my gratitude for the wonderful visit with family this past weekend. Iā€™m so grateful for their love and support - they really are my world. Iā€™m grateful for getting there safely despite the high winds and my migraine and car sickness, for my husband who drove the entire way while I couldnā€™t even keep him company most of the way, for my rockstar puppers Lupe and how well she traveled, how calm she was with my family and how she didnā€™t react to dogs on a busy trail we hiked - she is such a cool and collected girl these days! Iā€™m grateful for relaxed time as well as some serious giggles and playtime with my niece, and that she was so excited to see us and remembered us! It was a whirlwind trip (literally!) and Iā€™m grateful for more plans to visit soon. Iā€™m grateful I was able to help drive us home yesterday and we made it safely and with enough time to unwind before bedtime.

This little girl is growing so fast and Iā€™m grateful I can be a part of her life.

I am grateful for hot peppermint tea
I am grateful that I allowed myself to rest the past few days, not continuing to leave my foot on the gas with an empty tank.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m learning to be kind to myself.
Iā€™m grateful for @liv_m yoga thread and the time that goes into it.
Iā€™m grateful that letting go has been a near constant focus for me and I donā€™t expect to be perfect right out of the gate. But I slowly chip away and make progress.
Iā€™m grateful I feel more confident and at peace with myself then I have in my entire life. Itā€™s not always an upward trajectory. But overtime Ive noticed big changes and growth. I am proud of myself.
Iā€™m grateful that I allow myself to cry now when Iā€™m sad or overwhelmed. That years of holding it in and pretending I was fine, hurt me more then I realized.
Iā€™m grateful I just recently passed my 200 day sobriety mark. That it just seems like yesterday I came on here embarrassed to tell my family and friends I had stopped drinking asking for advice. That it has been the singularly most life altering choice Iā€™ve made in my life so far. That the domino affect sobriety has had on my life, my mental health, my happiness, my self worth, and my health has been truly life altering. It makes me cry just thinking about it.
Iā€™m grateful that this community and specifically many of you in the gratitude thread have been here for me at all hours, through awful days, and I am eternally grateful.

@ShesGotMoxie @Dazercat @Its_me_Stella @Alisa you all have been here for me for so much, you all warm my heart. Thank you for being my teachers and my friends. Iā€™m grateful for you guys :yellow_heart:
