Boom, there it is! This is the post I’ve been waiting for. Congratulations on 3 years, my friend!! I’m celebrating with you from afar. I still remember your very first post. Something about it made me say to myself… “this person is ready and I’m going to walk beside him on this journey.” So glad you stuck around with us crazies and I look forward to what’s ahead.

“Fat drunk and hungover is now way to go through my Sixties”
You were one of my very first with such a warm welcome. I can’t believe we are both still here.
Thank you for that.

Slow migration back to morning gratitude. Late afternoon gratitude today!
I’m grateful I put off my out-and-about errands today in favour of one last quiet morning with my coffee, journal, and yoga mat. Errands can wait until tomorrow, when the busy-ness starts again.
I’m grateful for another nice long walk this afternoon.
I’m grateful for my new winter boots. Those treads! New winter tires and boots. Look out, snow and ice. M’s coming and she’s armed and ready. I’m grateful there was no blister badness.
I’m grateful for new tools to use in setting and communicating boundaries with a few people in my world. This stuff is hard, but necessary, if I’m going to truly work my recovery. Otherwise, it’s kind of like trying to move ahead, ignoring that my car needs servicing. I imagine various parts of the car would just stop working, maybe fall off, until eventually the car just stalls out. You get the analogy. Gotta keep my recovery intact, and not turn a blind eye to the things that aren’t aligned with it.
I’m grateful for having multiple gadgets with alarms. This so-called morning person has had 10 days of snooze fest. Tomorrow morning might hurt. I’m super grateful it won’t be from a hangover. 
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m gratefull that my insomnia tonight with no sleep at 4am* is not from staying awake misusing anything and although il feel anxious and sleepy all day I will still be able to push through and manage.
I’m gratefull at 4am and no sleep only one of the cats thinks it’s time to get up for breakfast 
and the other two are purring away sleepy.
I’m gratefull i am not drunk and used substances and I can reflect to this time of night that’s what usually was happening at this time and id usually be anxiety ridden and feeling Shame and dreading the day ahead of me - I am so gratefull it’s just insomnia (it’s own battle) something I’m not doing too myself.
I’m gratefull at ,4am I am able to come here and share this with you all as always I’m gratefull for all of you
I’m gratefull I’m not feeling Shame or dread and can still look forward to the day ahead.
I’m gratefull tonight after the day ahead I will be cosy and ready for an early night 
I am gratefull I can see all the things that are going right and take the good from what doesn’t.

Good morning all 
I was thinking this morning about how hard we are on ourselves and then I started to think how sad that is…We are here giving it our best shot, wherever we are on the journey, in a relapse, back from a relapse, living clean, it does not matter we are here TRYING to make changes and i thought that is something that should be celebrated , we can easily get caught up in the negative side of life - so today i wanted to say thank you for being here
I wanted to spread a little love and light so thought wouldnt it be nice if i could hear your gratitude, has I am aware that when you vibrate higher so do I, now I know we are grateful for sobriety, our families, our warm homes etc etc but no I want to go a little deeper than that, what are you grateful for about YOU -
So 3 things that you are grateful for about YOU -
Heres mine -
-
I am grateful for my kindness, my heart is good and I am grateful that I am no able to share this with others.
-
I am grateful for my resilience, god knows I’ve been knocked down, dragged through life like at whirlwind ant times, but still I stand, steady myself and walk on.
-
I am grateful for my new found sense of humour, it turns out I love to laugh and I am partial to a bit of quick wit
which is wonderful given that laughter is the best medicine.
Look forward to reading about you and getting to know YOU a little deeper.
Have the best day,

My cat sitting in my lap
Decent “half-caf” coffee
Apple Music
Money in savings I can use for an IOP
Flexible work hours
Appt with my psychiatrist next Monday
The daily crossword puzzle
Distractions helping erase the memory of the nightmare
Fuzzy slippers
Working from home
Knowing I’m not alone in this
Seeing others with months and years of sobriety
