Congratulations on 9 months @desert_rose and @Dazercat Congratulations on 3 years!! 
This is so phenomenal. This kind of recovery is really inspiring.
I am checking into some gratitude at work today because im refusing to give in to a bad mood and a bad day. I’m grateful to be earning money, and grateful to be earning the good feeling at the end of a hard day. Im grateful its been slow at work and great days are definitely harder to earn. I’m grateful I’m not giving in and going home. Im grateful ill be grateful when I get that paycheck. That’s for sure. I’m grateful for the latest challenge that’s presented in my home. A girl from work moved into my clean and sober house, but was definitely not honest with me about the circumstances regarding the reasons she had to leave her last house. Its become painfully obvious that she’s not in recovery, and it’s been a very good lesson for me in boundaries. It’s not my problem, and I’m actually pretty upset that he was dishonest and brought a bunch of drama my way. BUT I’m grateful that I’m getting enough health that I can obviously pull away from her and be true to myself and my recovery. I’ve been such a people pleaser this is new wiring for my brain and I can recognize that this can all be a strengthener for me. I initially just wanted it and her to go away, and while I still do, I’m grateful I can see a way to use this to strengthen my recovery instead of threatening it.
I’m grateful for the perspective this always gives me when I write out my gratitude. I very often think if I write this out in gratitude I’ll bet I get a clearer picture of how to proceed. And, gratefully, I have.
Happy birthday to y’all.
