I’m grateful we made it safely back to Flagstaff. I’m grateful my headache isn’t from drinking. I’m grateful I got my Ol Burner on my lap and a fire in the fireplace. I’m grateful I haven’t been around for the one hundred and fucking forty inches of snow we had so far this season. I guess that’s 3.5 meters. Thanks google.
I’m grateful I signed up for the priority list on the snow removal in my hood. I’m grateful it looks pretty cool driving around in a labyrinth of 10 foot snow berms in my hood. I’m grateful no one was going the other way as we drove down the narrow road to the house. I’m grateful the house is still standing and we have heat and hot water. I’m grateful for the abundant sunshine and warm weather in the forecast.
Im grateful with all this snow I’m really going to have to take things ODAAT

Im grateful I figured out what was wrong with me yesterday. It was a panic attack. Im grateful I don’t usually get panic attacks. I think that was only my third one. I’m grateful I was able to reason it out on the drive home by myself and I’m ok. Well, As Good As It Gets :blush: I’m grateful I talked to the wife about it and I realized I’m still carrying the shock and trauma from her incident last Thursday when she drank too fucking much. I’m grateful I can share that pain with her in a civil conversation and cry and she didn’t get angry with me. I’m grateful maybe “I” can work things out. I’m gratefully sad because I wish “we” could work it out but it really has to be me. I’m grateful maybe she sees what’s happening to me and hopefully there will be……… I don’t fucking know……something different. I’m grateful she knows I’m not faking any of my feelings or that panic attack; I have no poker face whatsoever. I’m grateful I’m a sensitive mush :cry:

I’m grateful I’m going to be ok :ok_hand:
I’m grateful I feel good today. Headache is leaving and currently good right now is good enough.

I’m grateful I did my gratitude first thing this morning. Now I can concentrate on the next thing. Alice on my lap purring and Minnie nudging me for a pet. And shoveling a bigger spot for the dogs.

I’m grateful I got my chores and errands all done and I can do whatever for the rest of the day. I’m glad I went out and got a haircut even though I haven’t decided yet how I feel about it. I’m grateful any haircut is temporary lol. I’m grateful that we got to have our dog friend Bruce visit us for a few weeks, and I’m grateful that his human trusted us to take good care of him. I’m grateful that I don’t get as anxious as I used to about being with people I don’t know that well. I’m grateful my dogs are good at sharing even though it sometimes take a bit of weird dog negotiation. I’m glad my puppy doesn’t seem to have ruined the houseplant he tried to dig up or whatever he thought he was doing last night. I’m grateful that if I feel like it I can just go ahead and take a nap, and I think I really just might.

Big, big hugs for you. So much to go through, including the long, turning to longer drive. Not sure if you got the dog girl also or if that’s on the way back or not even.
So much for you to go through and so hard for your heart.
I am grateful for how you are going through this, realizing what you do need for yourself and what you don’t need. Proud of you and again, sending hugs, love, strength and comfort for you and your journey.

It’s Saturday evening here and I’m grateful to be sober.

I’m grateful that the hubby and I got on the bicycles for my first ride of the season. He’s crazy and thinks riding on a muddy and snowy trail would be a good start.

I’m grateful I have a mind of my own and got off that torture an onto the paved roads. That’s where the joy came, once again! Years ago I biked a lot. Somehow over the years it became much tougher, what with the chronic hangover and all. Those days are behind me and flying through the air is on its way back.

I’m grateful I’ve been able to swim regularly for over a year now, so my overall conditioning is pretty good. Old knees and hips and shoulders will need to keep up with my dreams.

I’m grateful that upon my return home I was not all about getting wasted. Instead I finished up some chores and schoolwork and won’t have anxiety tomorrow about losing so much time.

I’m grateful the hubby made it back from his trail ride in one piece. Good grief.

I’m grateful to have a safe and loving and sober home. I wish you all the best.

I am grateful that emotions pass more quickly being sober. With that I mean the one that got stuck in the system while drinking: sadness, self-pity, anger, rage, loneliness. They were always there. Yesterday on my walk I texted back and forth with my mom and friends to set up meeting them when I am back home in some weeks. My mother then wrote me that the one thing I agreed going with her was Sunday 11 until 1230. Who the hell is scheduling this in the middle of the day. I was furious. It was useless because against who? Them. My mother. Me having stress to get it all organised with meeting friends and having enough time for my mother and seeing my grandmother. It passed rather quickly. Like water boiling in the kettle and when you take it off the heat it stops. Just like that. I am grateful I can see this even now.
I am grateful for another day off.
I am okay not sleeping well. Still not. But as I am not deadly tried during the day I will accept it.
I am grateful I have enough.

I was prescribed a blood pressure medication called Prazosin when I was suffering from PTSD nightmares and other sleep disorders. It worked amazingly well.
Grateful to have seen your post today and that you found inspiration in the darkness.

I’m grateful to God please help me remain free from addictive addiction while following your will, just for today. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for non guided frequency meditations and that you tube has lots of them with accompanied nature footage. I have been playing them alot. I’m grateful I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I say that old joke but its true having had all my teeth rot away and herniated discs in my back, I sometimes wondered. I’m grateful the surgeon’s fixed my back, removed my teeth and I got dentures. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the people who practice them.
God bless us all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are super cool. Ya you!!
