Just to say that I used cold therapy successfully to treat depression and I learned that slipping into a cold bath is way easier than a cold shower.

Today Iām grateful for therapy. I talked about feeling thereās an abyss behind me and Iām steadily walking on the edge of a nervous breakdown. It scares me. I am content with my life atm and going step by step in the right direction. I have to wait and look forward what life will bring. I have to be on the watch, the abyss is behind me but Iām not away safe yet, I still can stumble and fall. Only when I turn backwards. My codependent habits and thoughts are running wild these days. Memories of good times hurting me. Easter and my birthday coming up feels so horribly lonely. I have lovely friends and chosen family where I find togetherness and where I am welcome and loved. But the people I love most, my little family, is not there anymore. Mum is dead and ex doesnāt care shit about me and my feelings. I sometimes donāt know if I wallow in self-pity or if this is the normal process of grieving.
Iām grateful for a relaxing day and cat love. Iām grateful I donāt answer the phone when I donāt want to. Healthy boundaries. Today Iām not in the mood to talk to someone who calls once a year. This is not friendship anymore. Just someone from school. Iām grateful for still being in loose contact with people from school.
Iām grateful nobody is nagging or stressing me at home. Only lovely purring curious cats

Yes indeed, this possibly contributes to me being overly sensitive and emotional. Thank you for this perspective. Doubling my prayers might help to calm down

Coming in with some gratitude as I wait for my therapy session to start. I am having some feelings of fear starting to overwhelm me. My mind is telling me I canāt do this, that I donāt want this but I know that is just the wounded part of me wanting to protect me from all of my past pains. I am grateful I do not live in my past, I am grateful that even though I feel nauseated with fear right now my heart is full of faith and it is keeping me sitting in my computer chair. I am grateful that I feel safe in my own home and that I did not have to go to the hospital to participate in this group. I am grateful that I trust myself today and that I know if it gets too much I will excuse myself and try again next week. I am grateful that I donāt have to run away anymore, and that I have found better ways to respond when I am uncomfortable. I am grateful that gratitude is one of those ways, and itās the first thing that comes to mind when I am super sad or really scared. I am grateful that drinking isnāt on my mind, and that cutting isnāt on my mind. I am grateful for this thread.

Im greatful for AA
AA fellowship
Starting over at step one and still learning things
When we say a prayer for those who are sick and suffering from addiction i envision a light like this and pray people find the open mindedness to give the AA program a chance because i found a miracle in the rooms and i want others to know that they dont have to suffer alone
Sweet dreams sober tribe

Today I am grateful in advance for a sober day ahead, but Iām working to focus on 1 hour at a time. I am grateful for this forum, meetings, and the new recovery book I started listening to yesterday. I am grateful for the new clients coming along this week and for the part time job I was offered yesterday in a role Iāve wanted to explore for so long. Itās like turning a hobby into a job and I am thrilled. I am grateful for all of you and your experience, strength and hope. I am grateful for my pups and kittties (maybe not as grateful for the litter box I have to clean this morningā¦but perhaps thats what keeps me from becoming the cat lady ) Have a great 24!

Good morning grateful friends.
Iām grateful to be on day 88 sober from alcohol.
Iām grateful the migraine I woke up with is finally easing up. Iām grateful I know what helps.
Iām grateful to be going to the dermatologist this afternoon since we have a family history of skin cancer.
Iām grateful I could do the at home screening for colon cancer instead of a colonoscopy. Iām at that age for all kinds of health screenings. Iām glad Iām taking care of all that.
Iām glad my bf went over to a friends house last night so I could have time to myself. Iām grateful I can recognize that I struggle with communication and boundaries and work to address those. Iām very insecure and fall into the thinking that no one could ever love me. Iām glad Iām in therapy. Iām working on challenging those negative thoughts. Baby steps.
Iām grateful that when I catch myself wanting a drink, I can quickly remind myself how much worse that would make me feel.
Iām grateful I scheduled a 90 minute massage for next week. I just started seeing a chiropractor and hoping that will start helping too. And Iāve started back doing the PT stretches I learned. I need to take better care of my body. Itās the only one Iāve got.

rateful itās quiet in the office today, feeling a bit off-kilter and short tempered today so Iām glad to have a little bit of space to get my shit together. Iām grateful to have some awareness of my own bs and to be able to do some evaluation in the moment so I know when Iām being an ass and I can keep it to myself for the most part. Iām grateful the bf has already made a plan for date night tonight and seems pretty excited, and I am excited to see what heās come up with.
