Daily Gratitude List

I’m grateful I have motivation and drive to do domestic things like cook, clean, and water my plants instead of ignoring even the most simple tasks because I wanted to get high and space out. My plants are very grateful.

I’m also grateful that I made it through the day without doing something I’d regret later. I’m at a precarious point lately, so I’m grateful for each day I make it through without giving up or giving in. I’m grateful for the opportunities to learn that life presents me… after the fact, but still grateful.

I am grateful I was able to make out my own mailing envelope today. I could write without vigorously shaking… Even though it was to the IRS.

So many times, I had to have other people fill out envelopes and forms for me because I was shaking too much to write.

Thank GOD for 53 days sober! :pray: :pray: :pray:

I’m grateful that I’m learning how to act (or not act) and not react when I’m angry or otherwise emotionally compromised.

I’m also grateful my rye bread experiment was successful and both loaves were delicious despite the different kinds of molasses used.

Grateful for warm fireplaces, grateful for comfy beds. Today I am grateful that even though I left work way early feeling exhausted, that I still got some rest. Grateful I’ve been practicing for my motorbike test. Grateful I’m getting sick of my monotonous job because that should motivate me to do more. Grateful for thinking about my higher power today, due to an encouraging video. Greatful that even though I didn’t go to NA tonight and that it’s not like me to miss a meeting, that I know why I didn’t go and I will work through that rather than on this occasion forcing myself to do it and burning myself out even more. Grateful to be a year and two weeks clean and sober.

Grateful for another great nights sleep.
To be clean and sober again this morning.
The way my old dog Minnie comes over and checks on me. Takes a pet to the head, and then continues on to her dog bed.
Grateful my yard worker guy found out my water issue outside is STILL a problem after weeks of people working on it. And I’m OK about it. I mean I’m not ALL pissed off and worked up over it. I’ll just calmly call the guys that worked on it to come back out when they can and dig it all up again. No big deal. Getting pissed and angry and having it ruin my day and having a “f__k it!” Drink about the situation won’t help a bit.
Grateful for my health and sobriety.
Clear head. Especially in the morning.
The seemingly extra peaceful quiet time this morning.
Waking up at 6 am naturally and feeling totally refreshed from a great nights sleep.
Grateful I’m not feeling depressed today :slightly_smiling_face:
Grateful I’m not going to feel depressed
today :upside_down_face: !!
:heart::pray:t2:
Congratulations to @Ibelieve66 on 53 days. That’s a good chunk of sobriety to have under your belt.
And also congratulations to @DuncanNZ for a year and 2 weeks. That’s awesome!! I cannot imagine a full year with that devil off your back. You’re so worth it!!
:pray:t2::heart:

Grateful to be alive and sober today. Grateful that even though my family is grilling me for my poor sleeping habits that I have already recognised them and am willing to try do something about it. Grateful that I only have to take this thing one day at a time.
