Daily Gratitude List

I’m grateful today for the sunshine pouring in through my big window and the music on in the background.

I’m grateful that I’m calmer, more centred. I slept like garbage, then I slept in and rushed to get ready for an early work zoom meeting, and yet I wasn’t too rattled about it all.

I’m grateful to be sober and not hungover. My morning would have gone a whole lot worse if I’d been hungover.

I’m grateful I’m not as struck by booze in the world we live in: liquor store flyers, even other people’s drinking comments. People on my morning work meeting were talking about already failing dry January and I just smiled. It doesn’t make me question why I’m not drinking.

I’m grateful for my workspace at home. I’ve been getting it set up better and I really like it. Still some stuff to do but it will be fun to do it.

As always, grateful for and to my dear M and D.

I’m grateful for today. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful I got 379 days and that I got up too early. I’m grateful I’m sitting in the dark with the glow of the fireplace and iPad waiting for the dawn. Grateful Daisy is on my lap. I’m sober. Not hungover. And I’m feeling good.
I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt as much as wifey’s back. We are quite a site. You should see us when we try to stand up. We look like hunched over 85 year olds :scream:. Bring on the assisted living.
I’m grateful for the love my wife and I have after all these freakin years marred. I mean we truly are like one. When one half of us is down the other half is there supportive and loving and willing without a thought. It’s really an amazing blessing how God has made us one. I can’t explain it but I’m pretty grateful.
I’m also grateful wifey is still not having her gin in the afternoons. It’s much easier to deal with wine o’clock.
I’m grateful she thanked me for waking her up off the couch yesterday evening to go to bed. She’s trying and her back is really killing her.
I’m grateful my travel agent contacted me. And our big 2020 trip to Amsterdam that was rescheduled to March 2021 has be rescheduled for Strasbourg France in July 2022. :scream:. They wouldn’t give us a refund but are working with us on rescheduling so all that money doesn’t go to waste. I’m grateful it’s in the books and I no longer have to worry about whether or not we are or can travel Internationally in 2 and a half months. (We can’t and we wouldn’t)
I’m grateful for the gratitude list. I feel I’ve hijacked it for my own personal thread.
I’m grateful for healthcare workers.
I’m grateful there’s only five more days for you know who :crazy_face: or civil war. :grimacing: I guess we’ll all see what happens.

I’m grateful for laughter. I’m grateful that I don’t live alone. I’m grateful that I have a house meeting today that’s facilitated by a counselor. God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

Today I’m grateful it’s Friday and that I can almost taste the weekend. I’m grateful I enjoy sober weekends so much more than the alternative.

I’m grateful for my sobriety. I’m grateful for all the support this app provides daily. I’m grateful I have 200 days sober and don’t ever want to go back.

I’m grateful for good books. I used to love to read at night but that got harder as my wine consumption went up, but now I’m back into “just one more chapter” instead of pouring another glass. I don’t think it’s a problem. (That said, I did read too late last night and didn’t get enough sleep, but I’m grateful I won’t been a cranky hellcat all day!)

I’m grateful this week was easier than last week back at my desk. I’m grateful I’m starting to care a lot less about what others think of my work and more about what I think of it.

M and D? Not a day goes by.

I’m grateful for today. :orange_heart:

ps I’m grateful for all the good-natured camaraderie around here…

pps I think @Dazercat fits the definition of adorable, particularly when he posts non-selfies of trying to do his morning readings and devotionals with 4 animals using him as a bed. I think Brian would agree!

ppps yer all adorable. it’s true. and amazing. yep you. :orange_heart:

Congratulations on your 200 days !!
I thought it was the day after Brian’s party.
I’m grateful that M is always on here showing her love and support in so many ways. And seeing you check in at night on the Daily Check In thread reassuring us that we can all do this again tomorrow is very comforting to me.
