Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

[Its_me_Stella]

I am grateful for teachers.
I am grateful for flexibility in the school system.
I am grateful for experience, strength and hope.
I am grateful for openminds, mine and others.
I am grateful for balance, serenity and learning how to stay centered.
I am grateful for long deep conversations about interesting things.
I am grateful for people who spark ideas or questions in me.
I am grateful for learning to let go, and being patient with myself in the process. My journey with this did not start when I cleaned up 2 years ago… it started about 5 years before that. This has been a long twisted path for me. With lots of driving down the same dark and bumpy roads, popping my tires again and again. Finally its startng to stick. Finally.

[Miranda]

Ahhhh. Learning to let go. That Always makes me take a long slow breath. I have this up in my house…

[Nowenbrace]

Good evening All,
Grateful for sunshine and a calm day emotionally. For a safe motorcycle ride.
For blessings from the HP. For my Hunny who joined me on part of my 10 000 steps today.
For local fellowships and here on TS.
For being more optimistic and living in the now.
Sober is the way to be don’t you all agree
🧘‍♂:hugs:

Last minute, skidding across the finish line, “daily” gratitude list. LOL

Walking up early, fully rested and ready to start my day.

My wife waking up early, fully rested and ready for intimacy.

Taking a gamble and mixing sweet & spicy tea with coffee and then immediately feeling like a genius. So f’ing good.

Having the time to unpack, decorate, clean the new place with care and attention and not rush anything.

Getting to go to the grocery store and get everything on our list, plus a few surprises.

Light rain on a dusty truck (aka free car wash)

The joy of being in my truck again. Just all things truck, really.

Simple solutions to household challenges.

My dressing room is coming together nicely and it’s giving me a sense of home again.

My lovely neighborhood and our proximity to virtually everything we need.

The leaps and bounds Clint is taking and our growing friendship.

Being able to provide a beautiful takeout dinner and not having to go pick it up.

The peace and heart-swelling joy of sharing a scrumptious meal with two people I love.

Receiving my new driver’s license in the mail.

Sharing a couch and a laugh with the ones I love.

The peace and quiet I have right now, to just lay back with my feel up and make this gratitude list on TS.

I didn’t have to use our drink to feel any of this. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
I only have these things because I didn’t.

I love you guys. TTFN

I’m grateful it’s a snow day. More like a snow weekend. I’m grateful it’s not much snow but just enough to be pretty and still a pain in the ass
I’m grateful, like Rosa, I just don’t want to slip and fall walking the dogs. I don’t bounce right up like I use to. But I’m grateful for the childhood memories of waking up knowing it’s going to be gray skies all day and fresh dry pretty powder. I’m grateful it makes me think of comforting grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbells tomato soup, someone must of made for me when I was a child. Must of been grandma

So I’m grateful I stayed up too late chatting with friends and grateful I got to sleep in and know I got shit to do today. Except make the donuts

I’m grateful for all my blessings. Especially the simple ones of just being able to wake up and go to bed in my own home without being bombed. I’m grateful my heart is breaking for Ukraine . I’m grateful I was able to make some donations to at least try and help. I’m grateful, even though it sucks, I really cannot do anything else about it. I’m grateful I’m not alone in these feelings.

I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful when one of us is hurting @Pica and brave enough to put it out there we come together like a family to try and help. I hope you have a better day today Pica.

I’m just grateful

Hope is seeing light in spite of being surrounded by darkness.
Live Purposefully Now

[erntedank]

Today I’m grateful for a grey and cold day. This melancholic weather has something special. Grateful for a nice chat with a nearby neighbour, grateful I get to know the people around here step by step. Grateful when I see my husband pet our bigfoot, they are so lovely together. Grateful for the wood-fired stove on this chill day, we all enjoy the comfy warmth. Grateful for restaurants, I will for sure not cook tonight. Grateful we don’t have any delivery services here. I induldged too much in yummi deliveries whilst I lived in town. I miss it but I save a lot of money since I moved to the countryside.

[Soul_Man]

Grateful for no more hangovers. I’m grateful for my body healing after years of alcohol abuse. I’m grateful for shedding 20 lbs and living life on my terms without having to race home to the bottle.

[Pica]

I’m extremely grateful for this online family

[ShesGotMoxie]

I’m grateful I know that sadness passes, the sting of grief does eventually ease. A dear friend of my son and his husband’s committed suicide last night. Since his divorce, his drinking has been completely out of hand, and he suffered untreated severe depression. He leaves his ex-wife and two toddler daughters. I’m broken. They are broken. Please send some light and love to his family and my son and his husband. Thank you.

I’m grateful that I quit drinking. I’m grateful I’m diligently working on being a healthier human. I’m grateful I have people I love and I do this for them, too.

I’m so grateful I have this space and y’all, where I can share the hard stuff life brings. I’m grateful that I don’t completely sink into the hurt, that I don’t drink to not feel, and that I’m learning to start healing as soon as I know pain and loss. Healing right now includes crying and listening to others, but it’s healing all the same.

[PaigeTurner]

I grateful for conviction from HP.
I’m grateful to acknowledge how far I’ve come and how much further I’d like to be.
I’m grateful for this survivor and warrior spirit.
I know I’m not alone. Although I feel alone , abandoned and set aside more often than not. Especially now that I’m clean.

I’m grateful HIS mercies are new every morning.

I’ve been humbled.

110 days today.

Hallelujah

[Its_me_Stella]

That is horrific news Carolyn my heart goes out to all of you.

[Callie99]

Carolyn, I have no words. I’m sending love to your son, your family. I love you

[Miranda]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I’m sorry for your friends and family and I’m thinking of you all.

[Dazercat]

I’m so sorry to read this Moxie. That’s just horrible.
My thoughts and prayers will be with your son and his husband and his friends family and of course you.

[ShesGotMoxie]

Thank you all so much. To know there are people who care means the world to me. This tragedy fully reminds us that we’re human. @Its_me_Stella @Callie99 @Miranda @Dazercat

I love you, too, Caroline.

[Chiron]

I’m really sorry to hear this. I can’t even imagine how difficult this must be for everyone he left behind.

[ShesGotMoxie]

The initial shock is beginning to wear off and reality is hitting. My heart breaks for them. Thank you so much for your kindness.
