Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

[CATMANCAM]

(My yesterday’s gratitude that I fell asleep whilst typing)

I am grateful;

For Prince coming out from hiding at meal times today, to eat and drink. He hasn’t been himself but I’d be worried sick if he wasn’t eating so I’m thankful he is.

For the woman that put a message in the CA WhatsApp group asking whether a meeting was on, it was a meeting WALKING DISTANCE from my flat! I hadn’t heard about it before so wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t. Grateful I did manage to walk there and back even though I already walked to get coffee today.

For the CA meeting itself, the 3 of us who were there, the readings, the shares, and my own confidence to share more than I thought I was capable of.

For the ability to walk ten minutes at a time, I’m so grateful to still be able to get outside and breathe some fresh air and sometimes get coffee.

For the daylight hours getting noticeably longer, I always feel hopeful as Spring becomes nearer.

For decent headphones, I can appreciate and experience music so much more. For the discount I got on them back in June last year in the Prime Day sales.

For everyone that volunteers to try new medications before they are approved.

For Scientists, for working to find cures and treatments for the things that plague us.

For clothes.

For heating.

For yesterday’s therapy session. It’s starting to feel safer.

For my gallbladder pain being minimised by the new meds.

For managing a walk to get the discounted weekly coffee, which helped to take my mind of worrying about Prince for a short while.

For my cats, Prince and Wolfie, and the way their tails shimmy when they greet me.

For TS and everyone here for making it feel like a safe space.

Thank you.

@ShesGotMoxie congrats on 6 months
@PaigeTurner I’m not sure if it’s ‘tomorrow’ for you yet, it is for me, so congrats on 90 days

I’m grateful you both are here.

I’m grateful my slight headache this morning is not from drinking. I’m grateful my headaches are usually not full blown. Good bless you guys dealing with headaches and migraines on a regular basis. I cannot imagine your pain. I’m grateful I think I might have found a pattern besides sugar for my headaches in the morning. There’s a common denominator in that it’s usually after a night of steak .
I’m grateful for my 3 rd sober super bowl coming up.
I grateful for the half time show this year more than ever. I’m grateful I get to cook at home tonight. It won’t be steak again . I’m grateful it’s just going to be another day. But with a game on. I’m grateful we get to call our friends today in Austin. I’m grateful for the quality of that friendship.

I’m grateful my Pilates training was great yesterday. I’m grateful I got to be a bum and sit on my deck all afternoon with a real wood fire in the outdoor fireplace. I’m truly blessed.

I’m grateful my wife and I stayed up late and watched a bad movie last night. I’m grateful we’re on the same page a lot. Even though it was nominated for 12 Oscar’s. We kept saying out loud how we hate this movie but both of us were going to watch it till the bitter end.

I’m grateful for TS. It’s a magical place that helps keep me sober.

I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt.
I’m grateful for the new routine of sneaking skinny Beatrix food in the bathroom at night before bed. And last night when I was done Alice poked her head around the bathroom door and gave me a “What about me meow “ so I sat on the tub and snuck her some food too. She was so cute and funny calling me out like that I’m grateful I know what I’m going to be doing every night now when I shut my screens down. I’m grateful the 2 fat grays aren’t around when all these extra late night feeding shenanigans are happening. Yet

I’m grateful I’m sober.

I’m grateful for our weekend with Keely and her boyfriend and the dogs. Cash has been so snuggly, and Chesney loves to give kisses. I’m grateful to have them all in my life.

I’m grateful for bookstores. I could (and do!) browse for hours. @Nordique I didn’t find the book you shared, so I ordered it online. I’m grateful for my new coloring book. The shop owner told me there’s a lot of zen in it. I can see that…

I’m grateful for warm, buttery cinnamon rolls. Yep, I occasionally have a punch of sugar.

I’m grateful to be heading home this afternoon. I’m grateful for Keely’s wood stove, but I love my big fireplace, too.

I’m grateful to be here. I feel content, and that’s not a feeling that comes around very often. When it does, I love it.

Thank you all for the kind words on my 6 months sober. I’m grateful for y’all.

[anon74766472]

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I opened up what’s heavy on my heart and I was not judged. I judge myself the most about it. And it’s awful.

I am grateful for a warm shower. I am grateful I have a vague opinion about my prison. I don’t have a key. Well, fuck it. Of course I have a key. I don’t use it.
When I think about it I am extremely sad and hopeless.

I am grateful I don’t drink over this. It means it’s not too late. I am grateful for entertaining movies and books and audiobooks.

I am grateful I have insulin. It’s so normal for me that it rarely occurs in my mind how quickly I would die without it. I am grateful for clean water. I am grateful I made it through my first day without sweeteners.

I’m grateful to God please help guide me to be my best self, just for today. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for sports to watch like the Olympics and Superbowl.
God bless you all. &

p.s. You rock. Ya you!!

I’m grateful for:

The rainy day, because I know nature needs it, even though it makes my mood deplete.

The 2 hour nap I managed to get this afternoon to pass some of the day away.

The final episode of the singing program that I’ve been watching, it’s such a fun show. I was too tired to watch it last night so it gave me something to do today instead.

The slow 25 min walk I managed before dinner, without too much foot pain and no chest pains at all.

Having 2 binge-eating free weeks, and that I’ve only binged once since 24th December when I was diagnosed with Diabetes.

Losing 6lb in those 2 weeks since I’ve been doing a version of my diet, and not struggling with hunger or urges to binge either.

Clean, hot water, and the bath that I’m running.

Weekends, and that I have so much less anxiety during them.

Being alive.

Dark theme, because reading black text on white backgrounds is challenging and gives me more migraines.

My cats and their health.

The TS forum and everyone here for contributing to our collective recovery.

Thank you.

I am grateful for my laid back Sunday morning listening to vinyl (Banks, CigarettesAfterSex, MazzyStar) and for the beautiful weather today gifting me with sunbeams that are piercing through my dirty windows. ()
I am grateful that I am listening to my body today and only going to one book study.
I am grateful for the large attendance at the meeting last night.
I am grateful that I think I found a local groomer for Annie I will go to meet her tomorrow.
I am grateful that Annie has so much life in her, that she is not in pain, that she has no clue her back end doesn’t work properly, and that I can sense she will have a good summer.
I am grateful to be able to witness the miracle of recovery through this forum and in the rooms of NA. It is so awesome seeing peoples lives unfold infront of them, seeing them maneuver through hardships and celebrate wins. I am humbled and honored to walk beside everyone.

Thank-you for sharing your recovery.

[Nordique]

I’m glad you ordered it!! It’s a good one

[Bomdhil]

Grateful for @CATMANCAM and the encouragement that is giving to many of us

[Sunflower1]

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a nice Sunday. I’m grateful for the beautiful weather. I’m grateful my husband and I repotted some houseplants and puttered around in the yard. I’m grateful for my kids and how they make me laugh. I’m grateful for love and hope.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

[Pica]

I’m grateful for chapter 4 in the AA book, WE Agnostics. Especially the quote “we missed the reality and the beauty of the forest because we were diverted by the ugliness of some of its trees”. This quote has made me reevaluate how I have formed opinions. I still have alot to figure out but I now have an open mind.

I’m grateful for the AA group I’ve started going to. I feel more at ease there than I ever thought would be possible. I’m grateful for how freely I was welcomed.

I’m grateful for all the support systems I have to keep me sober. Therapy, TS, and now AA. I know I wouldn’t be sober without the support I have.

And finally, I’m grateful to end another day sober.

[Nowenbrace]

Good evening All, Grateful for comfort and for being willing to face discomfort and solve problems. Greatful for healthy eating and getting 10 000 steps in and for the walking poles that gives my arms exercise.
For friends and family, we’re all in this together.
For sobriety and clear thinking and letting some thoughts vanish and good riddance to them 🧘‍♂️
Have a great week, stay positive friends 🧘‍♂:raised_hands:

@Pica

I still have alot to figure out but I now have an open mind.

This is Golden. This was/is so important for me in my sobriety.
Open minded people don’t care to be right they care to understand. There’s never a right or wrong answer. Everything is about understanding

[Cherry_Kisses]

Grateful that a customer gifted us a Valentine’s Dinner at a lovely restaurant.

Grateful I didn’t have to see the carnage of bottles after the weekend the way I used to.

Grateful that I’m in good health.

Grateful that I have the courage to work towards freedom.

[Ceeds]

I’m grateful to wake up early to chai coffee on my bedside table and my partner doing the dishes. Definitely speaking my love language over jewelry or flowers.
Grateful for a half day of work & the opportunity to show my love today - dropping off homemade mango-habenero & blueberry-jalapeno jams with aged sharp cheddar to some fam & friends today.
I don’t usually get into Vday but I’m just feeling the love.❤️‍🔥
Grateful for a new book that is finally, finally giving a voice to my experience in sobriety. It is so relieving to have that “seen” feeling and to have words put down that speak so closely to what I’ve felt.
Grateful for connection here and other spaces to practice listening and learning and pausing.

We did. didn’t catch anything but had a great time regardless
