I am grateful for another sober hangover free morning and the cat just got off my lap to check her food bowl.
I’m grateful for the little pet routines that they all have during the day that always make me smile. Like I make coffee first thing and Mavy always comes over to the tap to bite my hand or arm while I getting water because he thinks he should get fed before coffee. But that’s not how it works
I’m grateful to be retired and not have as many of the struggles in life I use to have when I was working drinking coaching and raising three kids.
I’m grateful for all the love my three kids have for wifey and me. I think they even miss us.

Grateful for all my Alanon work I did during the time they were using and during their recovery.
Grateful for text messaging, to be able to keep in touch with them long distance.
Grateful they all have a house and home and a great spouse and their pets.
Grateful for all my blessings.

Grateful I’ve been to the gym even though NZ has gone back into Covid lockdown measures. Grateful I’m blessed. Grateful that even though I’ve felt drawn into political controversy with my very strong opinions that I’ve avoided most potential resulting interactions, grateful the only place I’ve verbally discussed anything political has been in the home, and not online or with associates. Grateful that this simplified my life, I can’t control everything and I’m not about to try validate myself by attempting to try to save the world.

Im grateful for my whimsical cat. Im grateful for my taste buds and good food. Im grateful for my mind and the ability to reason. I’m grateful for Jesus my King and his love for me. Im grateful for the Scriptures and Gods Word and how it penetrates my heart. Im grateful for the Holy Spirit. Im grateful for Gods perfect will and His love and mercy. Im grateful for what God has given me, the very breath in my lungs. God is Good. I want his will for my life and I pray for his guidance and comfort and for peace to all my sober buddies on this app and in life.
What a wonderful gratitude list . I been really talking to God a lot lately. I got tons of questions??? But I’m so thankful for all his blessings. Always! And I love the discription of your “whimsical” cat. I would love to see his/her pic in the pet pics posts.

Grateful if I’m not drinking today I’ve accomplished all I’ve needed to accomplish today.
So sorry to here Rona has reared her ugly head in NZ again. My very little circle of friends here have had you guys up on a pedestal so much we even look at NZ real estate for fun. We fantasize about moving there. I guess you guys are only human after all. Please be safe .

Grateful to be gently woken up at 6 by both my gray cats. One tamping on my stomach and curled into my neck. ( I know they’re just hungry)

Grateful for the sober lessons in life that I’m learning about myself like learning I don’t need anyone to validate my feelings. They are
“my feelings.”

Grateful Minnie’s blood work came back and the vet said her liver blood work was perfect. Fucking “perfect” man!
Grateful to be up early to walk the old dogger before it gets to hot. Gotta go.
Today I am grateful for acknowledging that the most important day and time in my recovery is right now, and yesterday’s work is not enough, every new day comes with new way to work my programme. Very grateful today. Grateful despite challenges, greatful there’s a solution for my issues, grateful I’m making strides towards hopefully what seems like a brighter future and not walking all over people in my path to get there.
I am grateful for an early sober hangover free morning and got the old girl walked before it got too hot.

Grateful for my little water fountain on the deck and the sound of the birds.
Grateful I can adapt as my daughter is reaching out to me by text during my quiet devotional time and I’m ok with being interrupted.
Grateful I know what’s more important. My daughter of course.
Grateful to be back on the gratitude thread after quite a few fun minutes texting with my daughter. She is the funniest thing in the world sometimes. Wish we lived closer. The old me would have focused only on getting this list done. And then probably getting back to my daughter.
Grateful I’m not what I use to be.
Grateful I made the best of a new routine this week and walked 3 1/2 miles a day which means I walked 21 miles this week in my hood. We I put it that way I impress myself. I deserve it.
Grateful I’ve learned, sometimes the hard way, that today will be a day of rest from walking. Just a short stroll to keep the body limber maybe with my Christian music on being thankful to God.
Grateful for my friends at TS.
