Yes! Me too! I think it’s a by-product of all this gratitude? Seeing everything we have and not what we don’t have?
(Except I like nice pens and markers and notebooks and journals. Too many! :laughing:)

I been struggling alot with depression lately, however a friend from TS has been very supportive. Suggested I do a gratitude list and contrast and compare, so I felt it would be good to share here.

7 months ago I tried to die, Today I’m grateful to be alive

7 months ago I was fighting to save a toxic relationship at all costs, Today I’m grateful to have great friends who love and accept me for who I am.

7 months ago I couldn’t wait to break free to calm my nerves with a drink, Today I’m grateful no alcohol will touch these lips.

Reading old entries from my journal at detox and rehab really showed me the growth I obtained, I was angry about not successfully ending my life, hell I was angry at the detox center for saving my life. Who knew I would ever make it this far.

If you read this hell yeah I’m grateful for you too!

I’m grateful for my ever blossoming bromance (and potential marriage) with @Dejavu - There’s no way in hell that without his support that I could’ve dug down and stayed sober these last few weeks.

The past 4 days have been a break I had not realized I so deperately needed.

I am grateful that the worlds aligned for me to have this chance to recover.
I am grateful to have spent it with my best friend
I am grateful we both can return with some more space in our souls
I am grateful for the past 24 days, showing me what is possible
I am grateful I can finally listen to my higher power, who has been showing me the signs and patiently waiting for me to open my eyes and see.

I recognise I will go through my highs and lows
I recognise that I will face challenges that have nothing to do with sobriety
I recognise that I have the oppurtunity everyday to become stonger, to choose my paths, knowing that I have my guides walking with me.

I am grateful to surrender to this new flow, this new freedom.

Peace and Love to ya’all♥️

Today I’m grateful that I’ve kept my cool… :smile: , that I had kept my cool at the end of the long day yesterday that could have ended with me losing my sh*t, but did not. Grateful that I turned the camera off on my zoom work call and prep-cooked my veggies. (There may have been some therapeutic, cathartic release in wielding my knife upon root vegetables!)

I’m grateful that I’ve set good limits and boundaries with work today - lots of breaks and I even just had a 10 min nap. :relaxed:

I’m grateful I’m learning to accept that I don’t need to do it all, that I can’t do it all - and that this doesn’t mean I’m a failure or not a good person. Grateful that I’m learning my self-worth isn’t about what I achieve, or what others think I should achieve.

I’m super grateful I’m sober, or I wouldn’t be in this headspace. I’m grateful for all the support I have here from all of you to be sober, to stay sober.

I’m grateful for the yummy roasted veggie quinoa salad I just had for lunch. I’m grateful for my tiny comfy home - the music, the calm view out my window, the snowy day outside.

M and D? I’m grateful for all the time we had to hang out, the time I thought would never come to an end. Remember when I would impromptu swing by your place after my work day, bring something to add to the dinner table, go for a walk with Mom, watch the news with Dad? Just those easy-going visits, endless hugs, I still thought we had years of them, but it’s ok. I can still coast on all the love…

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:
