Today I’m grateful to my old mate JP’s mum who died earlier on Sunday. Thankful for the warm-hearted welcome she gave me in her house some 40 years ago when she herself was going through the endgame of a disastrous marriage with an alcoholic abusive husband but still found the time to keep a home for her kids and their friends. Grateful for the hospitality I received with her family in her native Aruba in 1986. Grateful to have known this gentle loving soul who was a great storyteller and a great lady even if her posture was diminutive. Rest in peace Olga. Strength to JP Ivan and Ika.

Welcome! Glad you could join us! Read around and reach out. The lights are always on and someone always seems to be up. (The coffee could be yesterday’s though, depending what time zone you’re in. :wink:)

Seriously - well done with your decision. A long fight, maybe, but not if you break it down one day at a time - sometimes by the hour or moment by moment too. :orange_heart:

Welcome

Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.

:pray:t2::heart:

Here are two good threads to start:

Grateful I slept really good. Mark on calendar :grinning:
Grateful I am sober.
Grateful my ankle isn’t so bad after all. Running won’t be possible in the next weeks but anyway, it hopefully is spring and bike season.

Grateful Monday still free.
Grateful for you all here as I lost my recovery connection here in town and don’t know what to do after.

Hello out there, wherever you are!
Tonight I am grateful for
Waking up sober to a great sunny and warm Sunday.
The trails I hiked and the good vibes nature gives for free.
My parents getting their 2nd covid shot and my upcoming vacation time when I will see them again.
The old friends I talked with yesterday. Felt so nice to reconnect. I let my drinking steal so much from me. I am taking as much as I can back! FRO alcohol.
As always, grateful for you all.

Bye for now…

Good morning :sunny:
I’m grateful for:

  • Springtime coming just on time for me, it seems. My personal clouds cleared up a bit more just as spring weather arrived. Coincidence? Hell no! Absolutely connected. But I’m still grateful. My house plants are even waking up now with a lot more new growth, including a flower bud, the very first one, on my Christmas cactus. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
  • my fresh clean home, and that my husband and I cranked some tunes and worked together on a deep clean of the house. Oh, and I’m grateful he is 6’3” and can reach the high places while I do the lower spots.
  • the plans I’ve made with my parents to come for an extended visit, around two weeks, as soon as they’re vaccinated and the appropriate quarantine time has passed. It looks like they will be able to come by the end of the month! I’m beyond thrilled and grateful to have that happy event to look forward to. I saw them last the first two weeks of January last year. They will also stay with me in my home for the first time (usually stay in a hotel) and it will be different but I think really special. Our house is tiny, but we will make do.

Always grateful for my TS amigos! :heartpulse:

I’m grateful I woke early and found that the sun beat me to it - spring is here!

I’m grateful for the day I had yesterday. It wasn’t hugely restful, but I got lots done and it had a puttering (not stressed) vibe to it all. And my soup was yummy. And the temperature was beauty.

I’m grateful for the changes I can make to my work. It won’t happen overnight, but I’m grateful my employer was so open-minded about it. I’m grateful for opportunities, even just ideas right now, for the future.

I’m grateful that I’m not afraid to picture the future, the life I still want to create for myself, now that I’m sober. It’s exciting, and not like something out of reach.

I’m grateful there were leftover vaccines and I got my first dose yesterday!

I’m grateful for @Peace’s post yesterday. It’s hard to floss when giggling but that was me last night! And kinda wishing I had a unicorn head. :laughing:

M and D, for truly forgetting after you forgave.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful the wife is still not drinking gin.
I’m grateful I’m not following politics as much as I use to. But I’m also grateful and still need to work on, listening to my wife rant about the state of our politics in this country. It still sucks so fucking bad.
I’m grateful I have my house and home and food and water and electricity and my pets.
Grateful for my kiddos.
I’m grateful for music. And that I can get out and power walk again with my favorite play lists on.
I think I’m more grateful for the alone time listening to music walking than I am for the actual exercise.
I’m grateful my back is much better. I still have to be very careful and ice it off and on but I guess that’s life.
I’m grateful I have my good health. And my mind. I think :thinking:
I’m grateful I can spend too much time on here at TS.

An extra dose of gratitude today! I found out that my state has expanded vaccine eligibility to people under 65 with health conditions that put them at higher risk, and my high blood pressure diagnosis makes me eligible! I got on two waitlists today, and I will be checking two pharmacy’s websites everyday until I get an appointment. I also found out my husband will likely get a vaccine through his employer - they’re starting vaccinations 3/22. Light at the end of the tunnel…

I hope you sleep better tonight. :sleeping_bed: :sleeping: :sheep: :zzz:
