Earnit - what a great user name! We all have to earn our sobriety, so such an appropiate epithet to use! Just wanted to say I find your post inspirational, aand especially this Topic in general so motivating. As a newbie on here and sober for only 31 days, I can only applaud your achievement in reaching day 1025… Thank you and all the others on this wonderful site - just the help I need to supplement my prayers, and a substitution of chocolate cake for that demon called alcohol I have kicked out of my life. Well dobe, you! Regards, Serendipity 🙂

The day started out good but my asshole boss denied my request to work from home 1-2 days a week through my wife’s recovery from knee surgery for the next 5 weeks making life a lot more difficult for all of us. I say that because my gratitude today is simply that I didn’t take a drink because it’s exactly the type of situation that would send me reeling to the bar.
I did some praying and put my mind centered on what I know to be true in my recovery that there’s things I can control and things I can’t. It didn’t remove the anger at least not fully because my stomach is upset, but if nothing else, I didn’t take a fuckin drink today and my boss can shove it cause I’ll be damned if I allow that man to take me out of what I’ve worked for. It’s not perfect, as the big book says “willing to grow along spiritual lines.” I would call this moment growing pains, not easy, but worth it and worth being grateful for having a plan to address emotions that I used to justify the drink in the past ❤

Today I’m grateful for:
~Getting a new watercolor instruction book to try
~Saying no thanks and not feeling like I need to say yes because that’s what someone would prefer me to do these days
~Continuing to grow out of people pleasing
~A dragonfly coming to visit me
~Putting my HP in charge of my day
~Getting closer to election day so alllll the ads can stop
~Not always feeling the need to voice my opinion anymore, especially when not asked…which helps me not add to my step work
~Wool requiring less washing so I use less water
~The kids mom including me with their dad in the seniors yearbook
~All of us working well together
~Learning more about Denmark and moving that closer toward the top of my travel list
~Big book reading days

Dear all, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. If I may address JW Fletcher - I empathise with your situation, I really do. I think we all face triggers, no matter how big or small to tempt us off the path to continued sobriety. You did well in not succombing to the evil that is poison, and letting your anger about your boss vent in other more healthy ways. I am sorry, your boss doesn’t seem that sympathetic to your need to revise your work hours due to your wife’s knee op, but life will continue to throw up curve balls like this, for all of us in recovery. We have to dig deep, come in here, and pray for added strength. Must go, go now, got to do some work! Keep going. God bless everyone in here and ‘out there’ - (feel so sorry for atheists and agnostics) Bye for now Serendipity

So very grateful that you stayed sober. 🙏🏽
Sorry your boss is such a tool. I know you and yours will get through this recovery period and you will be stronger at the end for having stayed sober 🤗

Tuesday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful i take time to do gratitude now. it’s likely that i’ll be done & dusted like yesterday when evening comes 🙈
i’m grateful i am capable of working physically hard when i need to. i’m grateful this are short episodes throughout the year when farmstuff needs to get done because of weather. I’m grateful i am capable of prioritizing clearly, following the plan and being content with what i can achieve. I’m grateful i’m enough and so is all i do as i do my best every day however this looks like. i’m grateful that i can do even this hard, exhausting work at my pace and that i get a fucking lot done alone 😲 i’m grateful i slowly come to the conclusion that i REALLY don’t need help with this seasonal stuff. yes, i miss our late dear friend who always loved to help with the farmwork because he loved to work outside (he was retired). yes, i see that i had more time for house-things when my ex did the autumn mowing. yes, there is a trade-off, i can’t do everything at once but i can do it step after step and i’m sure it will turn out as i want it. i’m grateful i notice my levels of quality work changed and i rather do tasks proper than quick. things can wait, my quality of life not. i’m very grateful for where i am now, it was a long road and i enjoy my life very much. yes, the unloved stuff like mowing too, it’s part of it.
i’m grateful the cats get along well, a bunch of 5 cats and a big dog in the living room is wonderful 💖
i’m grateful Missi cat loves to sleep on me again, i missed my queen snuggles for some days. i’m grateful Watson is the funniest, sweetest cat you can imagine. i’m grateful Dr. Dolittle will get neutered in 2 weeks, he is a real teenager 😂🙈. his sisters will follow soon, but first the male, cutting the possibility of an incident 😉
i’m grateful i take good care of me, cook daily, cortisone therapy is finished and i noticed some changes for the better, rest when i need it and keep me warm.
i’m grateful the universe takes care of some things i currently have no brains & energy for.
i’m grateful for tea, my comfy cozy house where i feel safe & secure, all my vehicles that help me do work i otherwise couldn’t do, the parcel of wool & knitting journals that arrived yesterday. i’m grateful for friends, nice neighbours, caring people, planting flower bulbs, living a good life. i’m grateful for my good life 🙏

I feel scared, so I need to practice gratitude.
I am grateful.
- My partner is moving to a new apartment that is closer to mine. That makes it easier to spend time.
- We will spend a 1-day-vacation in a day spa, when the move is done.
- The chocolate brioche buns my daughter made yesterday came out really tasty, fluffy and not too sweet. I love that she learns how to make some of her favourite food.
- A warm shower, hot water bottles and tea when I am cold.
- A new series that keeps me distracted and entertained when I need it.
- The silence in my home. It helps me to calm down when I am overstimulated.
- Assistance and guidance while I’m building my own business. I have to do it by myself, but not alone.
- My pink berry and oats smoothie.
- My meditation app with lifelong subscribtion.
- I know that there will be days with higher energy again, especially when I need it.
- I have trust in myself.
- This place and all of you.

This is a beautiful realization. Not everything had to be done perfectly either. Glad you are giving yourself this grace.

Pure gold! I see / hear self love and appreciation here. You are looking out for yourself and that in itself is a beautiful thing.
Many hugs to you and your furry crew 🫂❤🫂
