Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #2

[maxwell]

Thank you!!
I’m following Phoebe and Calypso as well.
My son had a dog named Phoebe, but he spelled it Febe (to be different). So the vet techs always mispronounced her name as Feeb.

Congratulations on 70 days, especially for making it through the tough moments. Each time we make it through, we get stronger- I really do believe that♥️

[Miranda]

I’m so glad you are here. I read that you were mostly checking in on this thread (it is a bit easier to catch up on ) so I’m here to say hello too.
I’m so happy to hear that Riley is doing better.
Wow 30 days​:tada:
Congratulations on all your hard work

Oh Darcy, I’m so sorry to read about your fiancé. I will keep you in my prayers for strength and for your continued compassion towards him. And that he will come to his senses and get back to his program. Tough week for you. I’m glad you got support and your new friends away from that house.

I’m grateful to be learning all I can about compassion for our loved one who is still using.
And reading your example
You are doing so great and you’re an excellent example for all of us.
I’m grateful you are here.

Good evening, I have a weekends worth of gratitude coming at you.

I am grateful that Nugget is feeling better, and although Lyric had a rough weekend without us, they are both back to normal tonight. I am grateful that my dogs love each other and are the best of friends.

I had a magical weekend at an NA camp out. It was so, so perfect. I am grateful for the two speakers I heard at the evening meetings. I am grateful for the clean time countdown and the emotions I always feel when I am a part of one. This countdown was especially touching for me as I knew about 1/4 of the atendees stories. As we all stood in a circle with our arms around each other singing “Lean on me”, I saw peoples stories flicking in my minds eye; almost like an old movie. From stories of abuse to OD’s all I could think of was how grateful I felt to know these miraculous humans.

I am grateful once again for humility and that I finally found enough of that and courage to make it into the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous. You see I was an all day, everyday, “use alone” user from the age of 16 (started using at 13) who was in deep denial she was an addict. It wasnt until I was working my first set of steps in NA that I saw how insidiously addiction had run through my life. It wasnt until I was 46 yrs old that I could admit that I was an addict and actually understand what I was admitting to. Only then was I able to start to grasp any type of humility, it was then that I was able to strip away my bullshit armour and sit raw at a meeting, just an addict, like all the other addicts in the room. I am grateful for the 12 steps and that by doing them I learn how to live a life that is not directed by my shitty character traits. I am grateful I am able to apply spiritual principles to any defect of character.

I am grateful for books, knowledge and humor, epecially humor that I direct at myself. I am grateful for the spontaneous song lyrics that pop into my head while I wash dishes and for my partner who thinks I should write music. (Hahahah, if you only had heard the song you would laugh). I am grateful that he and I seem to make a natural team, there just is a nice flow. I am grateful for fresh corn on the cob and NA IPAs.

I love my life.

Tonight I am grateful for the fruits that have blossomed from my sobriety. I am grateful for a loving relationship with my son and wife. I am grateful for a new business venture that a friend of mine and I have started with our first client and day of work tomorrow mornong. I am grateful that my dad is coming out west to visit in a couple days. I am grateful for all of you being here to listen and share a common goal of living more meaningful lives. Thank you all, and have a great week!

Morning,
I’m grateful that I was able to visit my dad yesterday, his care home have just come out of lockdown so I haven’t seen him for a while.
I’m grateful my sister arranged to meet me there too, it was nice to see her, we don’t get together as much as we should.
I’m grateful my dad was fine, well cared for, clean. That’s all we want for him, he has advanced alzheimer’s.
I’m grateful a member of my walking group reached out to me yesterday and invited me to car share with him. I wasn’t going to go on the walk this week but I am now, he made me feel welcome and part of the group.
My partner, 63 days af, is going on a trip this weekend. He’s going through all the thoughts that I’ve had with upcoming events. I’m grateful to be able to pass on what I’ve learnt along the way, all the knowledge that I’ve picked up on here.
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to

[chey.o]

I am grateful i stayed up to clean the kitchen last night so i didn’t wake up to a mess My coffee is much more enjoyable in a clean kitchen than a messy one lol
This happens a lot more since I’ve been sober!

[Lovelylisha]

Day 32!
I’m grateful for these 32 days of sober living.
I’m grateful to wake up with a sound mind.
I’m grateful for mornings of reflection.
I’m grateful this weekend was relaxing and I got all the laundry done and put away.
Usually a load would still be in the dryer and I would have to restart the clothes in the washing machine.
I’m grateful for my kids and family
I’m grateful I’m not hungover from a weekend of drinking.
I’m grateful I don’t drink no more!

[Its_me_Stella]

I am grateful to wake up at home this morning with both my puppies and my kiddo close by. Grateful for the tears my child felt comfortable shedding at bedtime, and that she was able to find the words to express herself to me. I am grateful for compassion, empathy and active listening, all skills I am fine tuning in recovery. I am grateful that she is an empathetic, caring, senstive human who has always fought for the underdog. I am grateful that I have learned from experience that she needs to becareful in life and was able to find the words to help her understand why.

I am grateful for my sponsees and how they keep my program alive. They definitely help me keep my meeting attendance up and each set of steps I work with a woman individually automatically puts me in a position of working another set of steps myself. I am grateful that one of my sponsees will be coming back tonight. I am grateful she has not given up, and I am proud to sit beside her as she raises her hand and accepts another white key fob of surrender.

I am grateful that I finally tested negative yesterday which means I will be able to head into the correction facility soon. I am grateful that my higher power is showing me signs of what my next move should be. I am grateful I trust my HP and I trust myself.

[PinkyP]

Yes, in my house too

[maxwell]

Thank you Miranda! Yes, this thread is much easier to keep up with. I hope you’re doing well, are you on Lucky 11 today?

[maxwell]

Hi All.
Day 30 for me!

I’m grateful work is done for today, I woke up late and have been exhausted all day. I’m grateful Riley is persistent with her meowing and digging at my covers until I get up.

I’m grateful I have zero desire to drink. I’d be too tired to drive to the store.

I’m grateful for a cool day today, can’t wait for Fall. .
I’m grateful I didn’t give in yesterday.

I’m grateful for all of you and what you’re grateful for. And the pet and cat threads, and Minnie photo bombing the food thread (I’m way behind on that one too).

[Dakotahjae]

Grateful that I got called in on my day off for the job interview I wanted. So grateful that my fiance made it in for his too. We’ve got a lot of tightening up to do, but it looks like we’re back in the fight. He. I meant. Grateful for the challenges that come with loving someone in recovery and grateful for the challenge of keeping focus on my own. It’s hard. Grateful I’m up to the challenge. Grateful for the forward movement, grateful I have a job in the meantime.
Grateful for my 179th day clean and sober.

[Dakotahjae]

Congrats on an even 30!

[Twizzlers]
