Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #3

I’m grateful for a wonderful, restful weekend with people I love. I’m so grateful I found my best friends in my youth and that while paths might diverge a little here and there we’re never too far and it’s always like no time has passed. I’m grateful that I can count on the people in my life for support and love, even though I do have trouble sometimes remembering that. There’s a lot of me to work on, and it’s not perfect, but my life is pretty good and a lifelong low threshold for bs has set me up with some pretty solid relationships with amazing people. I’m so grateful for my life, and I’m grateful to continue in sobriety so that I can keep and enjoy it.

I’m grateful I didn’t think that was enough time but I’m gonna give it a go.
I’m grateful for my yoga Nidra sleep meditation last night. And my morning meditation this morning.
I’m grateful instead of putting off the meditations I didn’t think about it and just did it. Them.
I’m grateful for a great nights sleep.
I’m grateful for my meeting last night.
I’m grateful everyone loved my topic and thought I was very open and vulnerable. “Qui moi?”
I’m grateful I’m walking the dogs at 8 this morning and planning that as a new schedule. Whether I have to walk them alone or not.
I’m grateful I was looking forward to walking them alone and kind of apprehensive about it. But I don’t think I’m walking them alone.
Im grateful I can recognize I was hoping for her to fail and that I’d be walking them alone this morning.
Im grateful to be reading my Spiritual Principle today. And it’s Kindness. Just what I needed to deal with my Al-Anon qualifier.
Im grateful for you all.

Dear God, help me to stay close to you. Help me to walk in Faith and Hope as I let go of pain and despair.”

Afternoon gratitude. I’m grateful it’s sunny today. I’m grateful I spent my lunchbreak outside chatting with a friend. I’m grateful I ordered food, the day was busy. I’m grateful I am through with the finances. I’m grateful I woke up at 3.30 a.m. and hit the PC. The cats slept until half past five. I’m grateful the old boy is ok again. He is such a sweety. I’m grateful I have a solid overview on my finances now. I’m astonished that I did not freak out when I saw in black and white how much money I spent during our living together. For both of us, always, as his financial contribution to our living was non-existent. He did a lot of work, well, me too. Now and forever I spend my money solely on me. Again astonishing, how less I need since we separated. I’m grateful to see how things change. I’m grateful I look closely to understand and learn.

Grateful to be alive and sober. Grateful it was 80 degrees today!!! I don’t miss the cold. Grateful for having the basics covered like food and shelter. So grateful to not be hungry.

I am grateful for yoga, meditation and journaling. I am grateful for step work and all that it opens up, unearths and uncovers. I am grateful that I found courage to work through my first set of steps 2.5 years ago and that I am still finding courage today to work through some more.

I am grateful for all of the people in my life. The ones that have seen me since I was little and still cant believe the life I have been through. The ones who went through that life with me, on the front lines and are still here to share in after time with me now. And the ones who say to me " I cant even imagine you drinking. " or my sweet sponsee who cant even phathom the fact that I have had a 0% beer. I am so grateful for them, the ones who never saw me sick and just cant imagine what it would be like. They make me feel some pride, pride that today I am nothing like who I am when I am in active addiction.

I am grateful for a new book to sink myself into, leant to me by my yoga teacher. Hes so much more than my yoga teacher… He is my soul family, theres no doubt about that. The universe brought us together. :sparkles:

I’m grateful today was a calmer Monday than some. Or maybe it was me. I’m grateful I’m more mindful about entering into storms - work’s, pals’, life’s storms - that I can maybe just watch instead. I’m grateful that when I’ve been pulled into a storm, I’m learning to use my tools/wits to find my own calm.

I’m grateful I’m gonna tuck in early, and wake early too. I do love my quiet mornings! And my coffee and meditation and quiet music as I start my work day “in the middle of the night” or so say some of my colleagues :wink:

I’m grateful I’m not afraid of aging. I’m grateful that when it catches me sometimes, like when I realize I’m only a few years away from qualifying for the seniors discount, a belly laugh emerges. Holy f*ck! I’m grateful I’ve made it this far. I’m grateful for how my bucket list just grows and grows in recovery. I’m grateful too that I’m learning to be more adaptable, should, say, life events (or joint mobility, lol) interfere with some o’ that bucket list. I’m grateful for every day I get from here.

Yep, I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Grateful for a good dinner and a nice date night last night with my special man, and all the snuggles. Grateful for sweet puppies. Grateful that my friend that’s been struggling with a stressful work environment has been given an opportunity to make a change.
