Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

I’m grateful I finally found my Chemex coffee maker and coffee grinder.
I’m grateful for Starbucks and that it opens at 5 am for me to drive through and get a coffee.
I’m grateful it’s only 5 minutes away.
I’m grateful I don’t have to go to Starbucks tomorrow morning.
I’m very grateful for the material things I have this week during this move. And that’s ok. I am grateful for my material things.
I’m grateful we don’t have internet yet. Or cable. I’m grateful how well we, the wife and I get along. Especially during stressful times like moves, deaths of family members, family addiction and mental illnesses and diseases. I’m grateful we continue to work like a fine tuned piano.
I’m grateful I can write out my gratitude anytime during the day. And I’m grateful I’ve been practicing gratitude mentally since I woke up this morning.
I’m grateful for my beautiful back yard view and swimming pool.
I’m grateful the mold remediation was actually pretty easy to fix in the Cali condo. They found mold where they thought it was. Remediated it and there were no surprises or surprised costs involved.
I’m grateful my Cali agents have handled it without me.
I’m grateful the carpet cleaners were here early and when they were done we found B and Mavy. I’m grateful I didn’t panic after looking EVERYWHERE and not being able to find them. I knew they were in the house and I was cool and calm. I’m grateful Mavy puked up his lunch on the tile and not on the carpet.
I’m grateful to be relaxing poolside in the shade it’s not so hot. I’m grateful I’m taking the rest of the day off and the pain in my back is manageable. I’m grateful to keep my streak of 852 days of gratitude lists going strong. Like this sober fucking guy.
I’m grateful to see the funny looking Gamble Quail drink from my pool.
I’m pretty fucking grateful to be this sober and blessed.
I’m grateful and thanks y’all for always being here.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I went to the meeting yesterday.
I am grateful I have people who understand my situation. Not all of them. I used to think a friend has to support you in each and every single situation. I am grateful I let go of this long time ago. When I have worries about my diabetes friends with diabetes can naturally understand me better.
I am grateful it’s raining. This is calming the ‘you should do this and this voice’.
I am grateful for purring cats in my bed.
I am grateful I am going to get my contract today or tomorrow.
I am grateful I have enough.

This morning I’m grateful for 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Greatful for my purring old boy on me signaling I should get up and make breakfast for the cats. Greatful for the hot shower I had, it seems like every muscle in my body aches after the heavy work yesterday. Greatful I did all the work, it starts raining again I think. Greatful I can spend the day in house, office work waits to be done. Greatful for office at home. I love my library with the big desk, the many books and the computer. Greatful for my cosy home.

I’m grateful we have to be up at the butt crack of dawn to get Minnie walked before it’s too hot. And The Ole Burner.
I’m grateful Alice found my lap this morning.
I’m grateful instead of being passed out on the couch last night I was in my closet hanging some clothes.
I’m grateful I’m making time for 1 daily reading and it’s my ODAAT In Al-Anon. My sober recovery is good and I feel strong. But I need to keep vigilant on my Codependent Recovery. I’m grateful I didn’t have a slip us there last night. I felt sad. I even felt fear. And of course I felt lonely. And those feelings are what they are, feelings. And if and probably when resentment comes knocking I might just go ahead a feel that fucker too. Because IT’S A FEELING! And resentment knows I don’t want to hang out with that cunt!
I’m grateful the carpet came out nice and clean yesterday.
I’m grateful I’m first call for cable internet today. I hope they don’t fuck me over again. I’m grateful it’s been nice without it. (As long as I got my smhaat phone :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)
I’m grateful the cats have a great view of the bunnies and doves. And it’s not driving them crazy.
I’m grateful to be able to try and figure out the new feeding routine in the new home. It’s not easy, especially when everything is in boxes.
I’m grateful I didn’t have to drive to Starbucks this morning.
I’m grateful for all the desert flora and the 2 great horned owls :owl: out front. I’m grateful for the laugh I got with auto correct (Jason) as it came up horney owls :rofl::rofl::rofl:.
I’m grateful for all my blessings.
I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt this morning. Yet :grimacing:

Hahaha this was not supposed to be a response to you @Dazercat

It was supposed to be a general response. but since I’m here… I’m grateful for you Eric! I’m happy to read about all the exciting things you have going on :slight_smile:

You’re a wonderful person and I’m grateful that our paths have crossed on this app. (And now that we’re neighbors maybe they’ll accidently cross in the real world :joy:) wishing you well friend / neighbor!

Good morning family.

I am grateful that I can recognize when my recovery is unstable.

I am grateful that I have the sense and ability to pull the reigns back, and get shit back into order before I spiral south.

I am grateful to have been reminded how important the hour I get to myself in the morning is to me.

Staying clean is simple but it sure isn’t easy and why is that??? Because living a simple life is difficult!!! But I am grateful that it’s easy enough to simplify when needed.

I am grateful for the sun that is shining through my window energizing my crystals and for all the clean air my plants provide me in my home.

I am grateful for books, puzzles, music, meetings, family, friends, and yoga.

I am grateful that my body is working better today.

I am grateful that grade ten is almost over.
