Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #2

Im grateful for wakin up 5 months hangover free.
Im grateful for 5 months of learning, clearing up wreckage, practicing acceptance and coming to terms and a new understanding of “time takes time” i cant snap my fingers and make it all, including me, better in an instant.

Im grateful for all your shares. I find answers in them. Example, how energy drinks were affecting me at work. Thank you @Bluekoolaid for that.
You never know how our shares can help someone else and all you are doing is explaining your gratitude or what youve learned. :hugs:

Im grateful for my family. Im grateful we are all working on being healthier and better together.

Im grateful for hot coffee this morning. It tastes especially good this am.

Im grateful for all the creature comforts i take for granted each day. They could be gone in an instant. HP help me enjoy them this day.

I’m grateful to be texting my son early in the morning. I’m grateful we have a fun mashed potato memory dilemma from our visit and my cooking at their house Sunday. I’m grateful whenever I open my Sober Time app I got a pic of my baby girl that surprisingly makes me smile each time. I haven’t changed my background pic in a long time. It’s so wonderful to see that baby each time I open this. I’m grateful they’re such loving parents.

I’m grateful for the facts yesterday. I was told to bring my car right down at my earliest convenience, and he cut the line and took my car to the back and popped in a new decorative grill real quick. No charge! And I was on my way. I’m grateful I’ll never know how that thing broke. I’m grateful they had that part in stock that fit my 20 year old car. I’m grateful I didn’t get all bent out of shape about it.

I’m grateful to sit and indirectly watch the sunrise while I’m doing my gratitude. I’m grateful for the wide open space and the stars in the cool morning.

I’m grateful I get to be checked out by my new cardiologist today for an ultrasound. I’m grateful whatever the outcome they will either fix it or send me on my way. I’m grateful I got a new doc for a check up this week too on Halloween. I hope I like her. I’m grateful I love my new cardiologist and grateful he recommended her and she isn’t far away from my house. I’m grateful after my appointment we will go to Chompies New York Deli and I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a great Reuben.

I’m grateful for sober hangover free no desire to drink quiet mornings. I’m grateful to be planning what I’m going to eat for lunch instead of which place has the best lunch drinks after a doctors appointment.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my blessings.
I’m grateful for my family.
I’m grateful for predictive text on those last 2 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I never thought of that. If I don’t know what I’m grateful for; I can just plug in I’m grateful,
and let predictive text take over. :laughing:
I’m grateful for a view of the saguaro cactus :cactus: I have out my windows.
I’m grateful to wrap this up and look for a 5 month celebration gif for a fellow gratidudette :chipmunk:
:pray:t2::cactus::purple_heart: :desert:

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.

Im grateful to have sobered up while I still have my boyfriend, friends, and the chance at a full life. I will work hard to appreciate these things every day, and not let my anxiety trick me into viewing these commitments as burdens or trials.

Good luck today, Billy. You’re in my thoughts.
I am grateful. Grateful it’s my FRIDAY! Very greatful I pulled out another full work week AND made it to IOP. Greatful for gratitude, what a difference it’s made in my mindset, attitude, and outlook on life and recovery.
Greatful as always for my recovery. Greatful that relapse is just not something I’m entertaining. Very grateful as I came home yesterday and saw my new roommate moving out because she was unable to pass the UA. Very, very, greatful I passed mine with no worries, no anxiety, just confidence that I am and have been clean. Greatful for that humbling experience of watching people relapse. It sucks but it only strengthens my resolve.
Greatful that im not quite as ecstatic for the weekend because im actually enjoying the work week. Greatful for this miracle!

Congrats on 5 months. That is so awesome. You are doing the deal and learning this new way of living . I’m proud of you and your journey. This community really is awesome and I also learn so much about myself from the people on here… even the little things like quitting energy drinks and accepting they make things worse and don’t do what they used to … live and learn

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for my family, in-laws, extended, everyone. I’m grateful for kindness at unexpected times from people. I’m grateful it’s a reminder to me that I need to make an effort to be kind, even if I’m not feeling particularly nice or grateful or serene. I’m grateful that I am willing to keep working on myself, even if I do get tired of it sometimes. Im grateful for friendship and comradery from TS, and for this place giving me a community of people who understand my struggles, and achievements, and a place to learn from others. Grateful for all of you, and all of our milestones.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:
