Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #3

My body aches and I’m grateful it is from intense gym sessions and swimming and not my back playing up.
I’m grateful I booked another 2 sessions this evening, I didn’t feel like it, I’m grateful I am doing the things I don’t want to do and they are making me feel good.
I’m grateful to understand that when I do the things I don’t want to do things actually start moving forward - progress happens.

Grateful Iv done my daily tidy around and that it didn’t take long. Grateful that I am able to stay on top of it and enjoy organisation.

Grateful to realise I have more opportunities than I was allowing myself to believe and see and it’s no longer holding me back … Not today anyway.

I’m grateful that I can temporary hold of my insomnia by wearing my self out like baby with exercise.

Hi!! Too late, hopefully no damage is done, lol. I spent so much time trying to figure out the manual compared to the actual engine, pulled up YouTube videos on my phone, they were no help. And after I was done, I looked at videos on my laptop. Problem is, my car is 18 years old, I Googled the make and model, then the videos are always newer cars. I’m hopeful, after I did it, I drove 20 miles to Riley’s vet with no issues, and drove later a couple miles to pick up food. :pray::crossed_fingers:

So nice to hear from you! Sending Hugs! :purple_heart: :hugs:

I’m grateful to God for guiding me through this morning, its lunch time already here. I pray for help abstaining from my addictions, just for today. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I am once again becoming aware of all the signs pointing me toward helping and working with others I have been ignoring them or procrastinating. My self worth and confidence has been diminished again from my recent traumas and relapsing. I am grateful by the end of today I will have 20 days without cigarettes, 35 without booze or drugs. I’m grateful to be working on my diet, no gambling for close to two months now( I think), and sexual health but keeping those simple for now with no timers. I’m grateful that I can work on progress and not perfection. I’m grateful for the monday morning recovery meetings facilitated by the addiction counselor in my building. I’m grateful for the twelve steps my sponsor and homegroups.
God bless us all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are so very important, smile. Ya you!!

I’m grateful to be home from my travels last week. (Got smacked with some stomach nastiness on my return - am grateful it wasn’t serious and that I could take the time to rest.) I’m grateful for having time in the city, seeing some friends there and taking care of city errands. I’m grateful to be back in the forest. Not that I don’t like crowds, I guess I just prefer if they’re trees. :wink:

I’m grateful I visited my sweet Mama. Every day is a gift. An unpredictable one, but a gift all the same. I’m grateful for the supportive messages here while I was away, for all you Gratidudes and this place.

I’m grateful for the good dog girl’s fine company. (Grateful for @Bootz’ Relationship acronym - lol! Grateful the dog girl’s and my relationship is a solid one, phew.)

I’m grateful for my Sangha, for Recovery Dharma, and for the 10-week inquiry circle that started last week. I welcome the journey.

I’m grateful for my recovery, for 249 days (or 250? it’s been a long day!) AF AF. I’m grateful for all the fruits of sobriety - too many to name, especially when sleep beckons.

I’m grateful for sober sleeps, early mornings, quiet. All I couldn’t enjoy or be present to when I kept filling my wine glass.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful I woke up early today, intending to work out.

I’m grateful I just decided to enjoy the quiet instead. I’ve been pushing my body lately (@Twizzlers I empathize with your good aches big time!) and I need some rest. My heels are faintly hurting again and I won’t let it eascalate this time.

I’m grateful to read your gratitudes today with my cup of coffee.

I’m grateful for my little fluffy dog keeping me company.

I’m grateful for @Dakotahjae’s approaching big milestone…it’s amazing, isn’t it?this means mine is approaching right after…then @Cjp and @Soberbilly …talk about doing this together! :heart:

I’m grateful to see @maxwell and @I.cant.We.can here…and agree,Maxine. When I looked at my organizer from 2021 and saw the struggle that it was for me to string any few days sober and not hungover together, it puts in perspective how meaningful it is to have a week, two weeks, a month…I’m so glad to have you both back on this thread :heart:

I’m grateful for another day sober. I’m grateful for all of you. :heart::heart::heart:

I’m grateful for freedom. for not being in jail. for having a living that I love and care for.
I’m grateful I attendend a court session today which was very interesting (nothing to do with me, just was interested). I’m grateful I’m curious again. I’m grateful I heard 3 experts today and I learned a lot. I did’nt expect such a learning day, I was just curious. Curiousity killed the cat :grin: It killed my day because I stayed all day. Wow, I’m so grateful for hearing those experts :pray:
And I’m utmost grateful that I am home, Missi on my belly, in my cozy bed. The defendants went back to their prison cells.
Yes, I’m grateful to be home, free with my luxury problems and petting my flaws without anyone bothering.
I’m grateful for the reminder that life can be else. I’m grateful for what is my life :pray:

Good morning :sunrise_over_mountains:

Grateful to be able to pay my bills this morning, or rather be adult enough to do it and be ontop of them.
Grateful that I get to feel this feeling if stability, as I’d rather not had much of that before. It’s a new kind of feeling.
Grateful to wake up with more aches from the gym. Grateful I am able to exercise - my mum has MS and I’m grateful I understand what it can be like to not have this ability available to you and I am so grateful.
I’m grateful although my mum had lost allot of physical abilities my mum still has her mind.
Grateful my cats love spending so much time with me, they come in from outside to play and see me.
Grateful when they go out side daily no matter what they come home by 10pm and throughout the day to feed and see what I’m doing :smiley:.
Grateful for discovering ‘The Self’ - My Self and the power and energy that comes with it.

Have a blessed day :hugs:

Good morning grateful friends.

I’m grateful for another day sober.

I’m grateful I finally managed to shower and wash my hair. I’ve been struggling with the basics lately. Depression sucks.

I’m grateful I work from home so when I feel like crap I don’t have to pretend to be okay. And grateful most of my work interactions are via email or IM.

Grateful for my coworker that I share memes and gifs with. We keep each other going during the workday.

I’m grateful for everyone here and how they are supportive of each other.
