Today I’m grateful for:
~Being able to help him fix his old truck, kinda lol
~Memories of doing the same with my dad on his old vehicles
~Air conditioning
~Weekends
~Realizing my meds are also helping me to regulate my temperature a bit better, I wasn’t pouring sweat in that hot ass gym for the graduation ceremony
~Rainy days
~The humidity being a little lower
~Thinking of my sister and reaching out on our drive home
~Impromptu ice cream with the kids

~Sober weekends
~The Mr. giving me some ideas for my daily posts when I ask him
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I got out for a hike.
I am glad that when I got home I went directly to the cellar and checked my bike for my tour. Now I only have to pack my bags.
I am grateful I am flexible in my plans. If the fucking wind comes from the west, well I ride eastward.
I am grateful I forgot about wanting a decaf today. There was no-one offering decaf and for a split second I thought about then having a coffee. Nope.
I am grateful I’ll have the week off. I somehow need it. Although it’s overwhelming for me.
I am grateful for my kids
I am grateful for my job
I am greatful for my house and that it is in peaceful setting
I am greatful for my health.
I am greatful for my neighbor.
I am greatful for the nice weather today.
I am greatful for this space to clear my head
I am greatful for my elliptical to get me moving.
I am greatful for my Dad and Stepmom
I am greatful that my car is running
I am greatful that I am sober.

Monday mid morning gratitude.
I’m grategul I spent yesterday on the couch. I desperately needed a do absolutely nothing day ![]()
I’m grateful for sleeping meds and 8 h of restful sleep, early morning, chores done by 7. a.m. and going back to bed for some screen time and a nap. I’m grateful today I can go at my pace, the rest of the week is packed.
I’m grateful laundry and dish washing proceed, still a lot, with 3 runs a day i should be even by end of the week.
I’m grateful for my knitting project, tea, balcony time, ME time, petcuddles. I feel tired and it’s mid morning
I’m grateful this tired comes from a happy life, from getting things in order, from being busy, from working on a good life, on a better version of myself and enjoying happy time ![]()
I’m heartfelt grateful for my life as it is. The overly busy episode will pass when I put in the necessary daily work and effort. ODAAT

~Joining a meeting from my porch

~Not being in a rush, slow and steady is better
~Divine timing
~Agreeing on future plans & having common goals
~Date days & nights
~Actual partnership, this was so foreign at first it’s taken us both 4 years to really accept & appreciate what we have together
~Feeling blessed

TS and this thread
![]()
Today I am grateful for:
-
This forum - If I take the time I learn new things each day.
-
Authenticity - Feeling able to be myself is very freeing. It doesn’t solve all of lifes problems but it gives me a great baseline to start from.
-
Curiosity - I’m learning to look inward and ask myself questions about why I feel the way I do, or why I do what I do. It’s a slow process but one I’m glad to start.
Good morning sober warriors

This community and all you lovely people ![]()
Time with family last night, lovely weather, good sleep, day off work, not feeling the need to get high or drunk, the option to go to a meeting tonight and talk to fellow recovering people or just chill at home, a moderate amount of self awareness, people thinking I’m some kind of decent person ( I’ll never get used to that, if only they knew the old me that is tucked away out of harms reach), having love and kindness in my life, not living in fear or regret, not expecting too much of others and nothing from myself. My bed ![]()
