Awe… you guys are so sweet.
Beware of rant to follow:
I’m pretty fucking angry. And some people need to pay for this. And I’m pissed at the whole white privileged thing. If this was a BLM or an immigration protest which I’ve been to. The police would have been there cracking heads. Tear gas a blazing. But white guys with guns and shit. Oh ok. Storm our Capital. No big deal. Break in the windows it’s ok. Sit in the speaker of the house’s desk its ok. Break into the senate no problem.
Holy shit where’s the Tylonol!!’
But I’m not drinking. I did that for 3 years heavily with this asshole.
I been glued to the news. But I got the dog boy and dog girl (Emm) walked. And I got myself a late power walk in. This is insurrection History.
You guys are so thoughtful.
Thanks for asking.
But we did win the Senate. There is hope. America. The real American will be back.
I’m grateful we are finally here at this day I knew was going to happen.
Love you guys.
Okay, so I don’t have to be so cryptic in my above gratitude post, and can name the source of my angst (sigh, as if anyone wondered).
Watching the following (5 min) clip today made me emotional. Robert Kennedy, while campaigning, speaking to a crowd right after the assassination of Martin Luther King.
I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful to end this day clean and sober. I’m grateful I accomplished getting to wayside, making dinner and reloading my bus pass. I’m grateful my sisters hospital appointment went well. I’m trying to figure out and be grateful for the fact that my parents and sister are looking to this recovering alcoholic and addict to be the voice of reason and stability Lmao. God grant me the serenity to ACCEPT the things I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference. Amen. I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful for late night snacks.
God bless you all. &
I’m beyond blessed & grateful for my siblings!! My twin sister is 4months sober, myself 29days sober & my little brother 1year sober. It has been 4ever since we all have been able to talk and not fight.
Today I am grateful to wake up sober next to my husband and kids without any guilt and shame. I am grateful to fully be there for my kids when they need me. I’m grateful to work with a clear head
Today I am grateful for the 10 hours of complete sleepfull bliss last night.
Today I am grateful I am putting my health first and going back to the doctor for my follow up checkup.
Today I am grateful for my first full week sober!!!
I’m grateful I’m not drinkin!
I’m grateful some one at TS turned me on to Russell Brand. Specifically “Freedom From Our Addiction.”
And because of that I’m grateful I just wrote this down. “ I admit I am powerless over alcohol. And my life in this area is unmanageable. I cannot on my own, with my present understanding, consistently manage this problem.”
I’m grateful for humor.
I’m grateful for music.
I’m grateful for another day in paradise.
Did I mention I’m grateful for humor.
Grateful for my
Grateful for my hot green tea concoction.
1 super green Lean Green tea bag mix with
1 organic turmeric ginger green tea bag in a big cuppa hot water.
I’m grateful for Daisy cat. The way she wakes me up by lying on my stomach in the morning with her loud purr and tamping on me. She must really love me. . Ok so she just wants breakfast . But she is a gentle soul alarm clock in the morning.
I’m grateful I have special times throughout the day with my 4 cats. Daisy in the morning. Beatrix at shower time. (She’s weird) Mavy in the evening. And Alice on my neck at bedtime.
Grateful for my needy dogs too. They love unconditionally 24/7.
And how about a thankful prayer for all the great healthcare workers out there risking their lives every day.
I’m grateful Good is going to over come evil. It has too. There’s no other option. Right?
** You will never have patience, if you don’t have gratitude**
I’m grateful for my recovery the most important thing I have. I’m greatful for my understanding of a higher power. I’m greatful for my family and friends. I’m greatful that I didn’t wake up sore or hungover. I’m greatful for coffee. I’m greatful for laughter the best medicine. I’m greatful for my housemates.
God bless you all. &
I’m late today but still but still grateful!
I’m grateful for:
Getting off early from work and making myself workout.
I’m grateful that even though it can be a bit overwhelming at times, I love that my kids come to meet me at the car when I pull in the garage at the end of the day and try to talk over each other to tell me about their day☺️.
I’m grateful that when I feel a little down I can come here and there is always something new to read that lifts me up.
I’m grateful that it’s almost the weekend!
Everyone have a peaceful night❤️
I’m grateful for another clean and sober day. I’m grateful for the God of my understanding. I’m grateful for opportunities to help myself and others through working the twelve steps. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my friend Kelley getting a month clean and sober. I’m grateful I can afford to get myself a gift soon for my one year, someone suggested a fit bit, kinda like that idea but we’ll see. I’m grateful for my recovery day 356 and day 45 no nicotine.
Today I’m grateful for the power of hope, that I haven’t lost hope. Hope in myself, in my belief in the good in others, and in the potential that we can live in peace and equality and justice.
I’m also grateful that the TS January plank challenge will only last January.
I’m grateful for my sobriety, what I’m learning about myself, what my friends on TS teach me everyday in how they live, and for the amazing and supportive community we have here.
As always, M and D, I can’t make it through a day without thinking of you and thanking you more times than I have fingers and toes.
I saw your post on the checking in thread yesterday and meant to respond, but the day was a sh*tshow…
If I understand, your friend was basically telling you to suck it up? Well, you don’t have to do that here. I sometimes think of TS as a backcountry tea house when hiking. Come as you are - tired and weary and sweaty. Set down your pack, have a cup of tea. No judgment. Catch your breath.
Thank you so much. What is sticking in my mind still is that it was her who asked me how I was doing. And I wasn’t victimising myself I think. I feel in a kind of survival mode. I have these mode swings but with the tendency to the down.
I took the book of Melody Beattie: the language of letting go, again this morning. Love reading this. Almost always nails it down.
Thanks again so much. Have a good day/night, 24hrs
