Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #2

I’d be grateful to know why they call it a pork pie hat!? :smile: :pig:

I’m grateful that even though I feel a little sick and icky, it’s not because I’m hungover. I’m grateful I tested negative. Hope that keeps up because I have plans I’m looking forward to this weekend. I’m grateful if my plans change, no matter how, i won’t get all worked up, and nor will alcohol be the cause or effect.

I’m grateful my nap was so good. I’m not enormously grateful I’m still awake, but it’s okay. I’m grateful I can go with it, read some yawn-y work stuff to induce sleep, lol.

I’m grateful I can look back and see where hard stuff makes sense, in retrospect, or yielded a positive or necessary outcome that makes sense in my life.

I’m grateful for pals, near and far. I’m grateful for Gratidudes all over the world, right here on my screen.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I am grateful that G took his 9 year cake tonight, and that his kids, my daughter and mom all came to help celebrate. I am grateful he asked me to present him with his medallion. He has had a BIG year… a real big year and I am grateful for people like him who show me that shit can get real in recovery and we can make it through without picking up.

Im tired, Im grateful its bedtime.

Good morning, everyone.

I’m grateful I’m realizing the first stages of resentment I’m harboring towards my husband, before letting it grow and explode. I’m grateful I have a clear head to understand how I’m responding to his actions. I’m grateful that my reaction is something I can look into and control to some extent.

I want this year to be a good one, but know the next 6 months or so will not be easy on my family. I’m grateful I can look at it with clarity, without the blurring effects of alcohol, and try to make my best decisions on each step.

I’m terribly afraid to harden my heart and shut down precious feelings to cope with it all. I’m grateful I recognize this.

I’m grateful I found my favorite coffee in the store again - a cuppa first thing in the morning is a much needed treat.

The puzzle just falls together when we let it. I chose this guided meditation by mistake earlier,or maybe I didn’t. Unclear but clearly it came back to my awareness reading your share Anna. Soften your :heart:. Share time. Always wishing you the best my friend​:pray:

I am grateful to wake up sober. I am grateful that my headache is from lack of sleep, not alcohol.

I am grateful for the family of my choosing that supports my family and holds us up.

I am grateful to represent an organization that stands up for marginalized people. I stand for humanity.

I am grateful for vulnerable shares there and here. They help me and make me want to be a better advocate for those who are suffering.

I am grateful for the Peruvian woman who stepped into our meeting last night with her daughter. We just lost all of our Spanish speaking Board members and she appeared, ready and willing to become involved (unless I scared her with my enthusiasm).

I am grateful both kids are here in the house. It’s always nice to have them here in the mornings.

I am grateful that “this too shall pass.” Whatever that appears as today,

I am grateful for the Friday womens’ meeting that begins in three minutes.

I am grateful for you.

Grateful for another sober morning. Grateful for a life full of love and security, and a future I am happy to look forward to. Grateful to be in a position to make a date with my bf to visit our overcrowded municipal dog pound tonight to see if we can help and add another furry member to our little family. :heart_eyes: I’m a firm believer in the There Are No Stupid Questions school of thought, but when my love asked me if I might want to adopt another dog I thought maybe I’d finally found one. The answer is always yes lol. I’m grateful to look forward to a girl’s night with my mom and besties in her birthday in the upcoming weeks. I’m grateful that when the subject of alcohol came up with my boss and I mentioned that I don’t drink, she asked why in surprise (we have a good relationship so it wasn’t weird) I just told her I’ve already had my quota, and hers, and this other guys (pointed to rando), and she laughed and said she knew exactly how I felt and that was it. I didn’t feel anxious or ashamed, I laughed and felt relieved to share a little bit, and I’m really grateful for that.

Thank you all for thinking of me :purple_heart::pray:

I’m still processing yesterday. I’m grateful I got the keys for our farm back. I’m grateful I petted not only my own cats but also a ginger sweetie at the park behind the courthouse. I don’t know whether I’m grateful or not I met my ex by chance there. Seems he will get back his driver license soon. It hurts to see him. Emotions are all over the place. Fuck, I was doing really good over the holidays. I’m grateful I decided to stay away from the farm until he moved out and we settled the finances. I’m grumpy on myself, I don’t want to feel this way. That’s hard. Letting go feels hard these days. Yesterday was the first anniversary of our dear friend’s death. I’m grateful I lit a candle and asked my ex to do so on our farm too. Our late friend loved the farm. I miss him. I miss us all being together.

I’m grateful Miss Marple curls up between my legs, my right leg will slip from the couch soon. I’m grateful for the love and snuggles my cats give me. And for their peaceful sleep and snorring. I’m grateful I cooked yummi lunch today. I’m grateful it’s friday 13th, I like this date, it was always my lucky date. I’m grateful for my cozy house and the beautiful christmas decoration I kept up. I’m grateful for a warm shower. I’m grateful for TV, I need some light distraction today. I’m grateful for the talk with my councellor this week, it still echos in me and keeps me thinking. I was doing good and now I feel stuck again. I get on my own nervs, I’m dissatisfied. I pray this shall pass too.

I’m grateful I didn’t react to the cement truck blocking our driveway yesterday morning when we went out to walk the dogs. I just thought maybe it will be gone before we have to leave for our appointment. It was.

Im grateful for solo afternoon Benson walks when I had to force my ass up off the couch. I’m grateful we were able to sneak out without Minnie knowing. :shushing_face: I’m grateful when I can pull one over on my geriatric dog.

I’m grateful my wife and daughter had a long text chat yesterday. We are all very stressed. I’m grateful my daughter now wants us out in Cali when Gus arrives. Now I’m stressed. That wasn’t the plan. :grimacing: I’m grateful she wants us. I’m grateful after a few hours and a sleep I’m all over it and changing plans.

I’m grateful I’m going through “This,” sober.
This = Waiting
What’s the big deal? I’m grateful I can wait soberly; and physically and mentally feel good about myself. And I’m grateful I can wait without trying to control things because some things are just out of my control. I’m grateful for the “Wisdom To Know The Difference.”

I’m grateful I already mopped the floor this morning.
I’m grateful we don’t have to do Alice fluids this morning.
I’m grateful I’m out of sugar free chocolate and basically out of sugar free snacks so I won’t be binging on them. It’s a minor binge. I’m grateful I know it’s not good and if I don’t replace and keep it out of the house I won’t eat it.
I’m grateful for food labels and I read my Parmesan crisps snacks are high in cholesterol so I’ll be 86ing those. After I finish the last bag.
I’m grateful for Minnie.
I’m grateful for Daisy and the purring tamping fest in the middle of the night and grateful I don’t think she drew blood.

I’m grateful for my daily gratitude practice it’s one of the only constants in my life. Other than Benson barking at the trucks driving by out back. :grimacing: Ya he’s barking now. I’m grateful it’s not a busy street.

Good morning, what an amazing sleep, I am so grateful for it. I am grateful I was able to doze back off for an hour after my 6 am yoga alarm went off. Friday isnt a 6 am yoga day!!!
I am feeling curious right off the bat this morning, I have some people pleasing thoughts circling in my noggin. I am grateful to recognize them and see them for what they are. I am grateful that I know what I need and I will work on not feeling bad about taking care of my needs over making other people happy. After I have been so sick, I need sleep and I do not sleep beside a snorer, that ends that conversation about company this weekend. I am grateful that when I just say shit it is so much easier than when I get lost in my head trying to figure out ways to work stuff out. I am grateful that my intuition tells me what G’s reaction will be and I can prepare myself for it ahead of time. Screw that, I just sent him a text, I dont need to sit in his weird energy. I am grateful I protect myself today.

I am looking forward to a day at the jewelry studio, its been a long time since I have spent a day there. I am grateful for all the gems I have to play with and the silver I have to craft. I am grateful for all the tools available at the studio for me to use for a small drop in fee. I am grateful for the sense of community I get when I spend time there.

I am grateful I feel better and that I feel hungry. Ravenous actually, its amazing. I am grateful my body is taking care of itself and that my wounded mind is leaving it alone. :heart:

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I got some things done. Well, there was nothing big on my list. :upside_down_face:
I am grateful I had the time to get my charger for the laptop. Otherwise, knowing myself it would have been an endless inner discussion when to go. Blaaaaa.
I am grateful I got this new puzzle. It’ll be definitely more fun then the other one.
I am grateful I have enough.

Grateful for bein clean my sweet cuz was fuckin worried about me. Grateful I can celebrate straight life with her.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a beautiful sunny day. I’m grateful I got to run this morning with my son, and run errands with my daughter. Such normal things but I remember a time when these things felt impossible. I’m grateful the day was easy and enjoyable. I’m grateful for my simpler life, and the people in it. I’m grateful for the Gratitude thread.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:
