Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

Thank you Jesile :yellow_heart: Yes I tested positive on NYE for Covid. I work in hospitality, even though we wear masks and most of us are vaccinated- it spreads quickly. I’m finally feeling better today after going into the ER.
I’m celebrating my 100 days with tea from my bed.

@ShesGotMoxie :heart::blossom::yellow_heart: thank you for my cute crab gif and for being here for me. Love you

I’m grateful to God, please help guide me through the rest of today to do your will while remaining clean and sober. I’m grateful for recovery, including mine. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I get to work for three hours tonight and that they haven’t shut the doors or laid me off. I’m grateful there are lots of ways to get help with lots of different things if you just humble yourself and become willing to ask.
I’m grateful to receive emails from my Mom on the regular. I’m grateful that @Callie99 is resting and feeling better and congratulations on your 100 days!! Keep pilling them days up and moving forward. I’m grateful for food and coffee. I’m grateful that laundry is included here and love the smell of clean clothes, clean anything really since my place and me was never clean and all my smoking drinking and drugging I couldn’t smell anyway. I’m grateful to be off those damn cigarettes for I dont know actually, I erased that timer once it hit a year, maybe fourteen months. I’m grateful for humor and laughter, music and exercise.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are doing an awesome job. Ya you!!

I am grateful that I have learned to reframe bad situations and instead of wallowing in the pain, sadness and pure shit of them I can find gratitude.
I am grateful that I, as a pet owner, have the ability to end my animals suffering.
I am grateful that I know that I tried everything for Lacey and that I feel peace inside with the knowledge that she was ready to go.
I am grateful that I only had to experience one traumatic death of a beloved dog to know that I will never push those boundaries again with an animal.
I am grateful knowing that Lacey passed today with her dignity in tact and that she knew as little pain as possible. That she knew she was my #1 because I never stopped telling her. I am grateful for the bike rides we took together for so many years and the massive holes she would dig when we got home. I am grateful that she was so teachable and the best dog to use as a “demo” dog or a “distraction” dog when I had a dog training business. I am grateful that she was the dog that eased ALL of my rescues into my home. I am grateful that she was tolerant of my baby, that she had anxiety and so did I. I am grateful that she tap danced for cuddles and that she always beat her sister to the ball.
I am grateful that in this moment I am becoming more and more spiritually aware and I am finding so much peace in the idea that there is no beginning and no end.
I am grateful that today I was able to live out my amends to Teddy my Rottie and not let Lacey suffer for selfish reasons.
I am grateful today that I chose a hot chocolate over a bottle of wine.
I am grateful I can cry.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I have no doubt that Lacey had so much love in her life. Dogs have the power to love us just as we are, unconditionally.They are family, our best friends. I know in my heart her soul is still watching over you and everyone she loved so much. :yellow_heart:

I’m grateful for @Its_me_Stella s post. I’m grateful that it reminded me of my sweet Max and how much he saved my life and how much I loved him. I’m grateful that it calmed my annoyance with my little guy Lennox and made me remember how precious he is even when he’s asking for his 17th meal of the day.

I’m grateful that I’m crying because for so much of my life I couldn’t.

I’m grateful I was able to do a zoom with my family to see my aunt before she dies. I’m grateful that I can help my cousin because I went through it all with my mom.

I’m grateful for the new leaf on my Philodendron Splendid.

I’m grateful to be sober and to have only thought about drinking once every few hours on day 4 instead of every five minutes.

I’m grateful to check in here and see all these milestones! @PaigeTurner with 50! 51 now! :muscle:
@boots with five hundy! :muscle: :muscle: @KarenKW one week down! :muscle: :muscle: :muscle: @Callie99 100 days of freedom! :muscle: :muscle: :muscle: :muscle: Time flies!

I was supposed to go crabbing this morning. We all got to the boat and we would have been the only boat out. It was a small weather window. Nobody else was going, so Skipper decided to play it safe. I’m grateful!

I’m enjoying the break and getting things done. And I got to take a nap. I like naps. I’m grateful!

Skipper called me yesterday. He is afraid that he might do some jail time. If that happens, he wants me to be the skipper and finish the crab season. My first reaction was why me? I didn’t share my reaction. I just agreed to do it if necessary.

After thinking about it, I think it’s pretty cool. 26 months ago, nobody would have handed the keys to their boat to me. This makes me grateful.

I hope he doesn’t get jail time, but it is a possibility. It’s sad that it takes something extreme for most of us to wake up. He hasn’t drank. I’m grateful for that.

@Its_me_Stella Sorry for your loss. I had the most awesome black Lab. She passed away around ten years ago. I still miss her so much. I wish they lived as long as we do. :hugs:

I’m grateful first and foremost to be lying in bed ending another day sober.

I’m grateful to be sitting with all of this anxiety. It hurts, it’s uncomfortable, but I’m not escaping and I’m so grateful I have tools allowing that.

I’m grateful for my 2022 resolution -100% responsibility . I am already seeing serious changes. Taking responsibility for what I put out into this world is bringing so much good back. I am responsible for how I treat and talk to myself, for all of my actions, and my thoughts. I know this might seem obvious to most, of course you should take responsibility for your life, but this has not always been me. I’ve experienced a lot of trauma and I think parts of that have led me to put blame all around me. Adults who were supposed to protect me, the world for being unfair, the trauma itself for how I am today. Taking responsibility NOW doesn’t mean those things were my fault, it means I have a choice. I can continue to blame everything and everyone around me or I can be empowered. I can own my choices today. I can take responsibility for where I am and how I got here. And I can choose to be responsible for where I’m going and what freaking magic I’m creating in my life today. I am grateful I am choosing Responsibility. It is stunning!

I’m also grateful I came across this free trauma conference with Gabor Mate. I can’t speak to the quality because it starts on the 7th but here’s the link for anyone interested https://traumasuperconference.com

Also SO grateful the forum was barely working for me this morning! So many souls working towards betterment and freedom! Y’all inspire me :clap:
