Grateful for progress, growth, and reflection. I’ve come so far in my 4 months of sobriety. I feel like a different person.

I chaired a meeting for the first time last night… it wasn’t that long ago that I was posting on here about being too afraid to get out of my car and go in the meeting (@Dazercat :wink:)

And now I’ve been a speaker and I’ve chaired a meeting! Crazy

I’m so grateful for this sober life

I’m grateful I got up too early at 5:30 but since we got to get the dogs walked at 8:30 I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy my morning. Always worth it.
I’m grateful Alice is snuggled in my lap warm and purring.
I’m grateful for my hot Chemex fresh ground, fresh brewed, then microwaved for 25 seconds hot coffee :wink::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I’m grateful we got the inspection report from the buyers and it’s pretty good and I’m not drinking over the mold they found or the chimney repairs. I’m grateful it didn’t even keep my up thinking about it all night. I’m grateful we’re going to fix the problem. Reduced the price a bit and the buyers still want the place and will accept our repair terms. I’m grateful all this was found out. If this deal falls through we can get it fixed it for the next deal. I’m grateful my agents are so great! And they will help us schedule the remediation and we can do it long distance.
I’m grateful I spoke up to my chiropractor yesterday and communicated some feelings about my back and his treatment.
I’m grateful for the serenity and calm attitude during all this real estate bullshit and world happenings and life’s daily struggles. I would not have this if I were still drinking.
I’m grateful for block, mute, and ignore. And not reacting.
I’m grateful for my WhatsApp long distance voice messages with my friend Julie in London. And hers back to me. She’s still battling severe depression and I’m basically the only one she talks too :cry:. And we are just doing it by voice messages. #fuckdepression I told her I’m always available for her if she wants to chat. But I will respect her space. And maybe we can get caught up in the beginning of May.
I’m grateful I’ve been depressed before and I can feel it and eventually get over it. I’m grateful I’ve never personally had to deal with or feel long term debilitating depression.
I’m grateful for my health, physical and mental :pray:t2:
I’m grateful right now my back doesn’t hurt.
I’m grateful to share my shit here with y’all.
:pray:t2::purple_heart::cactus:

Watch you thoughts,
For they become words.
Watch your words,
For they become action.
Watch your actions,
For they become habits.
Watch your habits,
For they become character.
Watch your character,
For it becomes your destiny.

Today I’m grateful for having the house alone. I like alone time. Grateful for yummi pizza for lunch and a snuggle-in-bed afternoon with the cats. Grateful everything I did not work off today will still be there tomorrow. Grateful my husband is home safe, it was another meeting with a 2 h drive one direction. Grateful I stayed sober when he drank beer whilst telling me of it. Maybe I share about this on the Addicted loved ones thread, the conversation didn’t end well. Grateful for my cozy bed, I’m tired and ready to fall asleep.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful this is the last day of work before a long weekend. I’m grateful for the podcast I listened to on the drive to work- it was about letting go. Something I need to work on. I’m grateful that my son did his workout yesterday on his own because I was late from work. I’m grateful God gave me such amazing kids.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

I’m grateful to be going to bed very early, sober, and waking up very early, hangover free. I’m grateful I’m still reading my book on my screen in bed at night. And only my book!!
I’m grateful to be enjoying a book again finally. I’m grateful I love biographies and I’ve always wanted to read about Michael Jackson. I’m grateful Jermaine Jackson wrote a book about his brother Michael. I’m grateful for the great musical talent MJ brought into this world :pray:t2:

I’m grateful for my grandmother. Today would have been her birthday. I’m grateful for her hard butterscotch candies and 7UP’s and her cooking and how I use to get dumped over her house, in Lowell :face_vomiting:, when I was a child every Saturday night. I’m grateful for all the wonderful memories I still have about that fantastic lady. I’m grateful she wasn’t afraid to walk me through the projects to church on Sundays. I never associated her codependency with mine as my grandfather was an alcoholic. :thinking: And now that I think about it she wasn’t codependent as far as I could tell. I’m grateful for her humor. Especially about her deafness. Sometimes she could tell I was getting frustrated (or anyone,) repeating myself louder and LOUDER so she could here me. And sometimes when you least expected it, she’d say “why didn’t you say so?” :joy::joy::joy: she could “read the room.”
I’m grateful for grandmothers :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful ODAAT sober is getting me prepared for my/our move coming up next week. I’m grateful for the first time ever I’m going to live in a house that I’ve never drank in. And create sober memories and God Willing there will be grandchildren. I’m grateful it will be my last move. It’s exhausting. Please God let this be my last move. :pray:t2:

I’m grateful for my new coffee buddy Alice. She was up on the island again with my coffee yelling at me :kissing_cat:

I’m grateful for you all and all my blessings and especially the blessings of sobriety, that I reckon I need to continue to work on every day. And I’m grateful that :point_up_2: is getting easier ODAAT.
:pray:t2::purple_heart::cactus:

Only open your mouth if what you have to say is more beautiful than silence.
