I’m grateful for so so many things. If I started a list on here it wouldn’t end and it’d be annoying lol I do have a gratitude journal I write in every morning though (almost every morning lol) But my big one for the day is being grateful I had the strength to go into the gas station for the first time in 6 days and not buy alcohol. I sat in my car for like 10 minutes fighting myself on what I wanted to do. Got on here and remembered what I’m fighting for. It sucked. I didn’t walk out happy and smiling, but I didn’t walk out feeling ashamed for buying alcohol and giving in.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful it’s Friday. I’m grateful I brought plenty of good food and snacks to get me through the work day. I’m grateful to see the sun coming up- hopefully it’ll help me feel more awake! I’m grateful that the kids slept good, and can rest more today if they are still tired from their trip. I’m grateful (and hopeful) that my husband should hear from the possible new job today. I’m grateful for possibilities.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️

I’m grateful, again, :grimacing: my God is still trying to tell me to keep an open mind. For crying out loud!!
Very first line I read today in my very first devotional.
The Al-Anon program will work for anyone who approaches it with an open mind.
I’m grateful my last reading threw in humility. Especially if and when I’m thinking. “I wasn’t that bad.”

I’m grateful when my God works in this way. Especially when I think I’m doing good enough. What’s wrong with doing good enough?

I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful for my home and pets. And wife. Not always happy about it. The latter. But always grateful.
I’m grateful my DIL is finally reaching out to us early this morning about what’s going on with Glenda and the fire in Dallas. I’m grateful we respected her requested privacy and that she is finally at a point to debrief with us by text about the fire. And they are all very grateful they made it out alive with the dog and nothing but a robe on. I never even thought about keys and purses and wallets etc. it’s truly a miracle they are alive. Especially when I saw the video. They have nothing. But gratefulness to have survived and a great bunch of supportive friends and family. I’m grateful my smoke alarms are hard wired and monitored at the security guard gate.

I’m grateful for my new chiropractor.
I’m grateful house cleaners are coming today.
I’m grateful I’m trying to find the strength and courage to tell them nicely about a few things I want done or done better. I hate having to tell people how to do their job. :grimacing:
Be nice Eric. It was always so easy for years in the restaurant business when I was paid to be a hard ass.

I’m grateful for the beautiful cold sunny days we will have before the next storm to come through.

I’m grateful for patience with real estate agents and to let what I think might be a great house go. Take my time. No rush.

I’m grateful our family trip of 2020, without much of my family, is coming together for July. God Willing.

I’m grateful for you all.
:pray:t2::heart:
I’m grateful I read this in in Living Clean The Journey Continues
If we are willing to return to humility and gratitude, our lives get easier.

Today I’m grateful for this wonderful week of vacation. I’m grateful that I will be back home tomorrow, I start to miss my husband and cats. Grateful for the experiences I made, for the nice conversations I had, for practicing moderation in all aspects of life this week. I’m grateful I like to do a fasten week and how good it feels when the fasten process fully sets in. I’m grateful for the guided meditations we had, the delicious soups, the beautiful view and the peace I felt during the walks. Grateful I like to take a walk again, that feeling disappeared long ago. Grateful that I’m grateful :blush:

I am grateful that some of my ego based characteristics have been minimized such as judgement, intolerance, impatience, distrust.

I am grateful that I can put things out into the world today without as much attachment. "Here’s an idea… " and walk away.

I am grateful for the meditation reading yesterday, “Carrying the message not the addict” . You can lead a horse to water but you can never make them drink.

I am grateful that it is “Roadtrip Meeting Friday” and we will be heading to a different town tonight. Good clean fun.

I am grateful that we had 2 people taking 30 days, one taking 60 and a newcomer last night. All 4 of those people kept my early days fresh in my memory for me. I love seeing people take those flourescent red key fobs. They scream STOP to me. I have heard that the fob colors are in a certain order for a reason I should look it up.

I am grateful for the late night text from a member after they said something to me regarding Annie. I knew they had just been uncomfortable with the situation and hadn’t known what to say so I didn’t take offense. But I was grateful for their kind text and to know that they had been thinking about it. That is how the program works, addicts in recovery make things right.

I am grateful that when Eric’s housecleaners say “oh that’s good enough” maybe he will understand what is wrong with “good enough” :sweat_smile::kissing_heart::heart:

G’morning y’all :sunny::yellow_heart:

I’m grateful that I went for a drive up to Red Mountain Pass yesterday to see the heavier snow. I don’t usually drive that road in winter, because it’s a dangerous highway. I’m grateful my Jeep wasn’t hit by huge icicles that fell off a cliff and shattered on the road in front of me. Keely and I weren’t so lucky and lost a windshield in that very spot a couple summers ago. I’m grateful for making it home safely.

I’m grateful for fresh blackberries and the sugar-free cobbler I made with them. It was yummy and healthy. I’m grateful for my kitchen island. I needed this 10’ long one for when my husband decides to cook dinner alongside me.

I’m grateful for watching a movie while enjoying the fire in the hearth last night. I don’t watch TV often, but it’s a nice getaway for my mind sometimes. We watched Mortal and now I’m excited for the next book to be made into a movie.

I’m grateful that I’m feeling calm. I know it won’t last forever… that’s life. But I’m incredibly grateful it’s here now.

Y’all have a beautiful day. I’m so grateful for you all. :slightly_smiling_face::purple_heart:

I’m Grateful I did chat with my housecleaners and he/they were very receptive to my wishes. I’m grateful I thought, :thinking: what’s the worse that can happen?
I’m grateful me wifey and dogs and cats are holed up in the bedroom while they do their thing because it’s too cold to make the :doughnut::rofl:

I’m grateful some days might just have to be good enough.
And grateful some days I might get to do better.
I’m grateful for my sober twin :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I think my last post will be very similar to this one haha.

I am very grateful for my partner. He has been forgiving and understanding and has not casted judgement on to me. He has accepted me for who I am and said “so what?” That feeling is amazing. Having someone look at you for all that you are, completely “nude” and love you still and continue to choose you is something that is rare.

So big shout out to that guy. He’s just wonderful.

I’m also grateful for myself and proud of my strength and willpower to get sober and stay sober. For me and my experience, the first two months were easy because I was so traumatized by my rock bottom I didn’t even consider drinking again. But the last 5 months, I have had to make conscious efforts and decisions and I’m trying to recognize that and give myself credit.

Im grateful for nature and sunshine and my dog and coffee and my new job that I love and my dad and my best friends. I have a lot to be grateful for. Clean water, a house, washer and dryer, my car, access to GOOD healthy food. I could go on and on.

I’m grateful for this platform! I have received tremendous support when I needed it most, so thank you to everyone on here as well.

OKAY IM DONE SORRY! Haha have a great day everyone :slight_smile:
