I’m grateful to get in bed at 5pm, as soon as I’d eaten. I’m grateful for not having any commitments in the evenings.
I’m grateful to know when I need space, on my own. Saying that, my partner practically followed me up and sat with me for half an hour. He’s gone back down now. I’m grateful we’re not in each others pockets.
I’m grateful I don’t have palpitations any more, I used to have them alot. I’m grateful that I feel much healthier these days.
I’m grateful to read so many positive posts on here, there’s so many people doing so well, it’s great to read :sparkling_heart:

Today I am so very grateful to be sober.

Grateful for my mother finally starting to sleep at night.
Grateful that withdrawals are just a memory now and I never have to feel them again….that’s totally up to me.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for the chili and chocolate chip cookies I made for dinner. I’m grateful for my goofy dogs and how happy they always are to see me, even if I only went to the bathroom. I’m grateful for my home, and the family I share it with. I’m grateful we can pay our bills, and have enough food, clothing, etc. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

I am grateful for my therapist, my friends, and my family.
I am grateful for DBT and the program of Narcotics Anonymous for showing me that I can live a life completely different from any way I have ever lived a life before.
I am grateful for journaling, for EMDR, and for my body because when I listen to her she tells me exactly what I need when I need it.
I am grateful that I am more present these days, even though I still disassociate at times I can be compassionate with myself and understand that some part of me is trying to keep the other parts of me safe.
I am grateful that my therapist suggested that my BPD is in “remission” due to the fact that I am able to use skills in my daily life instead of resorting to old behaviors. I am grateful to feel relief and a little emotional about this, probably because I think she’s a little full of shit. I have been working so hard over the last 7 years to get to where I am. It has been a really long, really, really hard road. I am grateful I have made it through another day clean, self-injury-free, and free from sugar. My eating disorder is definitely not in remission, my eating disorder is definitely flared up at the moment. I could go through the cliche sayings about " recovery isn’t linear" and " progress, not perfection" but the bottom line is that it’s defeating and exhausting. I am grateful that I only have to go the few hours that I am awake a day battling my wounded brain against turning away food and trying to convince myself that I am safe today.
I am grateful that I can go to bed soon and restart tomorrow.
I am grateful for cereal.

Thats really beautiful. Sounds like a great relationship between you and that dog.

Tonight I am clocking in grateful. Grateful that I have listened to my gut and grateful its talking to me. I’m grateful I put the distance between myself and a good friend who’s choices and behavior were starting to surprise me, and I’m grateful that Im choosing to be supportive from a distance. Grateful I’m not getting distracted and detoured by the ensuing results. Grateful for detaching with love.
I’m very grateful to hear tonight that the man who was my fiance a short time ago has a bed date to go back to treatment. Grateful I haven’t stopped smiling since I heard. Grateful I was able to deliver this wonderful news to his family. I’m grateful for hope. :heart:
As always I’m eternally grateful for second chances.
