Yesterday was a powerful day in my life. I turned 49 years old and celebrated completion of my 3rd year in recovery. The day landed on my homegroup day so I got to take my cake last night. Wow what a night.
I am grateful for the overfull room of recovering addicts and my family who came to help me celebrate that the program of Narcotics Anonymous works. I am grateful for all of the kind words people spoke and I am grateful that when they spoke them it didnt feel like they were talking about someone else. I am grateful that I live spiritually today and that people feel that in their lives.
I am grateful that my home looks like a florist this morning and for the beautiful scent that is filling my rooms. I am grateful for the heartwarming messages that were penned on cards to me that I will cherish forever. I am grateful for the handmade gifts I recieved and the energy those gifts bring into my home.
I am grateful for my daily practice of meditation and yoga because I was able to stay grounded and calm yesterday. I am grateful for awareness and the powerful vibration of love that the room had. I was literally trembling, my whole body was alive and at first I mistook it for fear. I thought I was afraid but when I sat with that I realized I wasnt scared at all, it was all the energy around me so I just let go and everything was ok.
I am grateful for my HP and how it speaks through me when I am heart centered. I am grateful my daughter was excited to go to the meeting and even more excited to come to another one when we left. I am grateful for my parents love, courage and that they excitedly presented me my cake through tears. And I am grateful for my amazing sponsor who made over an hour drive to present me with HER three year medallion. What a gift my life has become, I cant express the amount of gratitude I have for every beat my heart beats and every breath I take today. I am just so grateful to be alive.

Today I’m again grateful for lazyness. My therapist is excited that I spend the holidays so comfy and homy, I really enjoy it. I’m grateful for cuddling cats, my purring little furballs who love to lie on me. Yesterday Schimanski slept in bed together with the other two for the first time since they are back at my old house 
I’m grateful I realize how much my ex’s nervous, restless, tense behaviour stressed me in the last years, especially last christmas. I’m grateful this energy left my life. I’m able to relax and enjoy the moment and all the little things in my life.
I’m grateful I set healthy boundaries yesterday. I did not want to meet a friend for some beer. I would like to see her in person but I don’t feel like watching her drinking. I don’t want to hang around in a cafe or bar as infection numbers are still very high. I offered her to come over to my place but she wanted to go out. I felt like she was looking for a drinking buddy. This did not feel right for me. I’m grateful for setting healthy boundaries when somethings doesn’t feel right for me 
I’m grateful for all the good memories of 2022. I’m grateful for retrospection I share on whatsapp with my friends. Every day another topic. It helps me to let go. I like to compose picture collages about it. I’m grateful for this creative outlet.
I’m grateful I’m sober these days. It’s nothing special, I always loved to wake up on new year’s day before sunrise and walk around on photo safari. As I saw this year’s pictures on my mobile phone I remembered how horrible I felt when my ex invited the neighbours last year without asking me. I hated it! No we-time, no snuggling on the couch with the cats and sandwiches, instead beer and neighbours 
This year I get the New Year’s Eve I love: snuggling on the couch, maybe my favourite sandwiches (I’ll decide tomorrow morning), cats, keeping up with friends, Dinner for One at 6 p.m., in bed at 8, up at 5 a.m. to celebrate the new year

Today I feel gratitude for my local library.
I used to be a big reader but over the years I’ve dropped off. I set a goal of reading 50 books in 2022 and it looks like I’ll hit 75 by tomorrow. Feeling very proud of myself.

Yes–i understand the poop bag gratitude! I once was walking my dog and as he pooped I realized that the poop bag holder thingy was empty! As I began to panic and frantically check my pockets for random emergency poop bags, I saw this little bit of telltale green plastic peeking out of a snowbank nearby and when I looked closer it was a single, unused, abandoned poop bag someone must have dropped. I swear it was like a light came down from heaven and angels sang. Miraculous. Catastrophe averted!

- I’m grateful for 2022.
- I’m grateful I have the most beautiful granddaughter in the world.
- I’m grateful the “Gus Bus,” is still cooking. But wouldn’t it be cool if he crashed my New Years party
- I’m grateful for the totally unexpected new wonderful relationship I get to have with my son and his family.
We’re both Dads now. How fucking cool is that? - I’m grateful my life became so unmanageable in May/June 2022 that I got my ass to an Al-Anon meeting. And I’m grateful to learn:
a. I’m the one who is broken.
b. I’m the one who needs fixin.
c. I’m the only one I can fix. - I’m grateful we got our 2020 COVID delayed, family European vacation in July 2022, even though most of my family couldn’t make it.
- I’m grateful for probably my biggest milestone; transatlantic flights back and forth totally fucking sober. How the fuck did I do that? God’s timing
. I only would have had 4 months sober had we gone when I planned the trip April 2020. - I’m grateful for all my “Hairy Bastards.”
especially the 2 sixteen year olds that still give us so much love and affection. And the 4, 7-9 year olds, that bring me so much happiness. - I’m grateful the last morning of the year I was woken by a mystery cat hacking up a hairball and I beat Benson to it for the clean up. Man he was fast. But unbelievably I was faster. And I been up since.
- I’m grateful I didn’t step in it.
- I’m grateful I made it through another vile election year sober. Ya I’m doing more than ten. Sue me
- I’m grateful I successfully sold and bought a home last spring making that 2 moves and I did it sober! Maybe that was my biggest milestone. I’ve never moved soberly before. The pressure and stress was there while I was doing it but there was no booze. So there wasn’t really as much pressure and stress. I wonder if the booze and hangovers of the past caused any of the pressure and stress?
- I’m grateful for so many other blessings I received in 2020. Especially all the support I got from TS and all my gratitude.
- I’m grateful when I was lonely last New Years Eve, on the beach a conversation with a special friend
helped keep me sober. I almost broke that night. Thank you 
- I’m grateful this New Years Eve I feel like I got my shit together
- I’m grateful for the struggle I am having with “My God” and “My Higher Powers.” And what I am learning from them. And keeping an open mind to what is really working for me. I’m getting better ever day
- I’m grateful Bootz turned me on to the recovery show podcast. It’s like having an Al-Anon meeting in my pocket. Alive Until You’re Dead Not so much. But I’m trying. 1 out of 2 isn’t bad.
- I’m grateful for CJ and of course Boscoe, SoberBilly, Jenny, Darcy, Franzi, M, Brian, Bootz, Stella, Trevor, Elle, Fleur, Callie, Carolyn, Alissa, Lisa, Twinnie, Anna, Lab, Twizzle, Sunflower, and Dana. And that other rogue gratitude thread out there.
You all are such an important piece of my recovery 
- I’m grateful I made the Tuna Dip last night and the flavors are coming together in the fridge overnight.
- I’m grateful I got doctors in place for my health in Scottsdale this year.
- I’m grateful I’m still sober.
- I’m grateful I’m stopping at 22. I’m sure y’all are too. I’m grateful to see what blessings 2023 will bring us.
Happy Fucking New Years Eve!!
Live today fully, expressing gratitude for all you have been, all you are, and all you will become.
Wait, and expect good things.
Today, when I think about the year ahead, I will focus on the good that is coming.

Your food always looks great!

I’ve always admired and very grateful for my English friends that would just “whip up a curry.”
It’s always a production for me. I just haven’t mastered the art of just whipping up a curry. I didn’t realize how popular a food it was over there.
I guess if I practiced I could get it down.

I am super gratefull Christmas Eve, I did not give in, I chose the better of the two choices : to drink or not to drink and I chose to not drink. Sounds easier than it was but I got through it with much support from people here, and strength I had to dig deep for, thank you.
