Thank you so much, @anon74766472 Your note meant a lot. And I agree that it helps to follow other people’s journeys. It never ceases to inspire me.
I truly admire that you’re doing this course and your dedication to yoga. Those two practices align so well with loads of things in sobriety. Yet another source of inspiration to me
Today I’m grateful for all of you.
Grateful for my quiet time with my favorite pumpkin spice flavored coffee.
Grateful I have plans to move my body and to help my kids celebrate Halloween early.
Grateful my husband is giving me some space, in a good way. I need to take care of myself a bit and get into a better place within myself so I can continue to do my best for everyone.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
Or want to
I’m grateful for 5 months in Al-Anon. I’m grateful it may be just once or twice a week but I like it. I’m grateful when I feel lost, lonely, or depressed it doesn’t last as long. I’m grateful I’m learning to have God help me look at things differently. But every fucken day give me a break. I’m grateful I guess, there’s no breaks with addiction and recovery. I’m grateful I’m not trying to control it. I’m grateful I’m chairing the meeting Sunday. Even though the Bills are on TV.
Im grateful Mavy is/was snuggling up into me as I try to write my gratitude list. I’m grateful when the dumb dogs started barking at the people walking their dog across the way, Mavy didn’t shred my face.
I’m grateful for my hot tub. I’m grateful I took a nice soak in it yesterday. I’m grateful for my ice packs. I’m grateful Mavy is back on my lap. I’m grateful to see Minnie up on the couch looking attentively out the window.
I’m grateful I can cook.
I’m grateful we can afford to go out to eat when I don’t feel like cooking.
I’m grateful for the desert . The desert mountains all over the place. And the flora and fauna. Except the snakes. .
I’m grateful I’ll get to see my daughter next week in Cali. I’m grateful it’s a friends and family baby shower so I’ll see a few people I know and our best friends from Austin are coming. I’m grateful it’s always so good to see them.
I’m grateful for Spenser and his Recovery Show Podcast. I got an episode lined up for my walk today.
I’m grateful for my blessings and my family and this group of grateful people supporting each other through gratitude.
What consumes your mind, controls your life.
Practice Gratitude.
Why am I unhappy
I am grateful for all the upcoming commitments I have planned, with friends and on my own. I’m grateful for my friends and the opportunity to spend time with them; I’m grateful for my boyfriend and our home, and all the Halloween decorations and activities I want to do to prepare for Halloween; I’m grateful to myself for signing up for this Halloween 10k because it supports my health goals and I’ve wanted to try it for a couple years now. I am going to work to acknowledge that my anxiety makes all these things seem overwhelming so that I can work through it to enjoy these opportunities to the fullest.
I am grateful for life, for the trees and the amazing grace God has instilled in me today and every day since I surrendered all. I am thankful for a goodnight sleep. I am thankful to be anxiety free. I am thankful for my sobriety. I am thankful for my life, my children. My renewed mind. I am thankful that God makes all things new. I am thankful for finding you guys. I am grateful for the seeds that I planted, I am finally growing my garden that Ive always wanted to have. So far I have parsley, carrots, and spinach. Yai!!! It is soo beautiful how from a tiny seed something so nutritious and beautiful begins to grow!! I am thankful for my mom, my hardworking mom. I am thankful for making great connections. I am thankful for free therapy. For finding Celebrate recovery. But most of all I am THANKFUL TO GOD. For directing my every step. MAN, LIFE IS GOOOOOOOD!!!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful it’s a long weekend now.
I am grateful I feel better today. Flu or whatever is gone.
I am grateful for a really nice online meeting I just had with someone from TS. My premier.
I am grateful I got my ID today. I have a valid one again. Feels good somehow.
I am grateful I got around a strange awkward moment with my colleague today. This will be some fun with her. Therapy gift. Everywhere there are people who will be a learning lesson. Ooooomm.
@Jftself I am grateful that you are at a week. I am grateful you are here. I am grateful that you have FAITH in yourself. Let’s GO!!! .
Im actually grateful that I seem to be in a mini funk. Grateful that this means I need to focus on what I’m doing every day. I’m grateful that I’m enjoying work so much that when I get home I’ve been feeling a little aimless and wondering what am I supposed to do do now? I am grateful that moving into this house, switching to this job and essentially losing my fiance to relapse was so very, very, difficult because guess the fuck what…I made it through. And I made it through clean. So I’m grateful for this little uneasiness that has settled on me because I think it’s telling me that I need to tweak something. I’m grateful this work and iop scedule has been so brutal because again it’s making me stronger, but I’m realizing it has me leaving some things undone, I’m grateful it’s going to feel so good to find it and incorporate it back into my life. I’m beyond grateful to be grateful for a struggle, I’m beyond grateful that I’m getting to a point of health where I don’t require EVERYTHING to be rainbows and stellar sunshine to be ok. I’m very grateful to understand this morning that the greater the struggles I overcome the greater the joy. I’m also very grateful that when this was first hitting me last night (after 4 - 10 hour shifts, and evening IOP, and some significant sleep deprivation) that I literally told myself “we can deal with this tomorrow. For now, SLEEP.”
I am grateful it’s my weekend already, grateful to be able to adress this little head crisis I’m having and help myself get back to the middle where I’m happy and thriving and in love with my life and my recovery.
I’m grateful this morning for my vape and coffee in bed, for my space heater, for the FOURTEEN hours of sleep I got last night. Yes, FOURTEEN. Told you i was tired. I’m grateful to myself that for the first weekend I’m not staying up till 10 or 11, throwing me all off scedule which will make 2:30 Monday morning another crisis situation. Grateful that this old dog can still catch on to some new tricks.
Thank you, that actually makes me feel really good. What I am most thankful and grateful for and I kid you not, writing this out daily REALLY, REALLY, helps with my perspective. I can sit and ponder for hours but just writing it out in gratitude has been THE #1 greatest resource of my recovery. I. Am. Grateful. For this thread.
Today I’m grateful for so many things: the beautiful weather, my cuddling and snuggling old boy, yummi lunch, delivery service, my cozy house, yoga with Franzi, the reliable car I drive, that I own my parking lot and never have to drive around to find one on the street, delicious tea, good talks with friends yesterday and today. I’m grateful for a year of mourning. My therapists insist that I take a year of mourning to process all the losses in my life this year. One year to just work on myself, heal, grieve. I’m grateful I ended a call promptly yesterday and texted my husband to not call me. I’m grateful I made my point clear and demanded respect. I’m through with his behaviour. I have no energy left for his ideas how things should work out between us. Or not. Or whatever. I’m grateful something inside me changed after the last letter from his lawyer 5 days after my mum died. I’m grateful I feel peace.
I’m grateful for the abilities I’ve been blessed with.
I’m grateful that I am getting better about accepting my imperfections and not accepting blame for things that are beyond my control.
I’m thankful for the protector I have in my psyche and I’m thankful for the conversation I was able to have with him through my amazing therapist.
Your note meant a lot. And I agree that it helps to follow other people’s journeys. It never ceases to inspire me.
