Daily Gratitude List

No pressure, but I’d never complain if I were ever tagged (on another thread, probs) on posts with pics of dresser do-overs or knitting projects in progress! :smile:

Grateful I’m going on a date holiday tomorrow for a week then grateful I start uni after that. Grateful that 10 years ago I had a criminal record and was in such a bad space that I certainly never imagined myself coming this far.

Thanks for that little outpouring of love, Emm! I sincerely appreciate your presence here too!
I’ve been here for awhile. The unconditional love and support is amazing here. I’ve had some success and hard lessons and straight up obstinance and selfishness. I suppose there’s a testament to all of those things in the corners of this place if you wanted to dig through it all.
It got me started on my path and I am glad to trudge alongside all of you!

Thank you for that. Such a lovely quote.

Grateful for today
I made an appointment with myself tonight. I was reminded today in AA that my sobriety needs to be my #1 priority. That relapsing is a game of russian roulette as we may never come back after even just one time. So tonight I am checking out early. Like my winter spirit animal this cold is settling in and I need to slow down. Time for some reading by the fire cozied up with a fluffy blanket.

Love to you all♥️

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. Bacon from the local farmer - I’m pretty sure it was the best bacon I’ve ever tasted.
  2. Sober Sunday mornings with a bright and sunny kitchen and cheating on my intermittent fasting plan for a day.
  3. My houseplants, who are getting some tending to today. I love them so much! It’s hard to explain how much they mean to me. My husband says one day we’ll have a conservatory or greenhouse and it will be full before he knows it.

Today’s about simple pleasures and everyday joys. I’m grateful for my TS amigos, too. :green_heart:

Today I’m grateful for the cold, sunny day, that it’s been such a good and full busy day - all by myself puttering in my own wee home - that I only realize now my morning gratitude list is mid-afternoon gratitude!

I’m grateful for my motor vehicles membership (cheap, and I’ve never needed to use it until this winter!), and for the cheerful buddy who just showed up - hours early, even - and gave my battery a boost. Poor little putt putt, she got cold!

I’m grateful that my car not starting just reinforced how much I have (good food in my frig and freezer already, for example), and how many options I have if I actually need anything. I’m grateful for all the gifts of sobriety - the ability to see my glass half-full (no, running over) being one of those gifts.

I’m grateful to see so many new Grati-dudes! Welcome @mejorando! I’m grateful for all the fellow grati-dudes, and for this community of TS.

M and D? Today would be a Sunday call, and I’m already smiling imagining our conversation. Grateful for all the calls we had, even when it seemed there wasn’t much to say there always was, you know?

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I am grateful that I am sober, not hungover, and not contemplating the next time I can get drunk because i don’t drink.

I am grateful to be working tonight so that a friend can enjoy the superbowl.

I am grateful that I have tomorrow off and plans with my sister (which is possible because i get covid tested at work). My sister has expressed a desire to stop drinking so we have some sober lunch plans tomorrow. :heart:
