Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #3

This fills my heart first thing in the morning! So happy for your full heart and your post, Dana!

Grateful for a cloudy day, when all I committed to is to sort out Easter weekend meals and time with hubby and kids. Grateful we get a calm weekend this time around :heart:

Good morning grateful friends,

I’m grateful to have made it 90 days sober. Yay me!

I’m grateful I slept okay and woke up with only moderate pain. Grateful that pain is easing up.

I’m grateful it’s Friday and payday. No real plans for the weekend. I think it’s supposed to rain both days. I’m going to try to pick my crocheting back up.

I’m grateful for my cuddly cats. Beans is currently asleep in my lap. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::black_cat:

I’m grateful things are getting better again with my bf. We’ve been able to talk a bit. And realize we’ve both been grumpy about shit going on and not been the best version of ourselves.

I’m grateful for this community. We’re all just doing the best we can, one day at a time.

Congratulations on 90 days @KarenKW :bouquet::birthday::woman_fairy::notes:

Lunchtime gratitude.
I’m grateful for a busy morning at the farm. My ex was helpful with the tractor. But no fieldwork, the tractor needs a new oil filter before. I’m grateful the mechanic is scheduled for next wednesday.

I’m grateful I could only shake my head when my ex did not remember my wedding dress :woman_facepalming: I fetched some things I needed from the farm and wanted my wedding dress to burn it. Well, my ex remembered the dirndl as my dirndl but not as my wedding dress! There must have been sooooo much love from his side when we married … asshole.

I’m grateful for yummi ramen-style vegetable soup I made for lunch. So tasty.

I’m grateful I take it easy for the rest of the day. I had more than enough human interaction for today.

This really struck me this morning. A simple change of wording but it seems so new. I always say that I get to, for the chance to. Ahhh, thank you for that. I am grateful for words and how they make my days full.

Congrats on your 90 days @KarenKW those first 3 months are hard. Youre a warrior, amazing job. :sparkling_heart: :sparkles: :sparkling_heart:

Grateful it’s Friday, grateful the office is closing early. Grateful it’s a quiet day here, just a ghost town. Holy ghost town? lol (because Easter! Get it?) Grateful to feel good today in my body and mind. Grateful the sun is shining and it’s not that tricky winter sun that means it actually extra cold out. Grateful I saw my tulips and peony beginning to emerge. Grateful for a summer I’m beginning to look forward to. Grateful my boyfriend understands my weird feelings and encourages me. Grateful to give love, to be loved and to have a rest of my life to look forward to.

Grateful to be in Cali :heart: :blue_heart:
Grateful to be waking up hangover free and sober.
I’m grateful for Om Mani Padme Hum :pray:t2: ……

Grateful to see Gus and family.
Grateful to realize Gus and family are very different from Norma and family. I’m grateful I can either accept that fact, or fight it, or feel butt hurt about it. I’m grateful I can choose acceptance and Q-TIP
Quit
Taking
It
Personally

I’m grateful I can remember my mom doing things with her grandchildren they way she wanted and it driving me crazy.
I grateful I don’t want to be that grandpa.
I’m grateful I can just sit on the couch and hold the Gus bus. And they won’t be afraid of me holding him and walking around possibly dropping him :scream:
I’m grateful we’re going to need a bigger bus to hold the Gus. He’s HUGE!

I’m grateful my room has a Nespresso Pixie and Ember Coffee cups and I still have hot lobby coffee after 30 minutes and a meditation.

I’m grateful I had so much fun meeting old friends too, and not drinking. And no one even asking about it. I’m proudly grateful I told them. I’m grateful for the physical compliments I get when people see me for the first time after being sober over 3 years, and no more beer belly.
I’m grateful for the physical and psychological benefits of sobriety. And if, no, when, I stay sober, I can always reap and maintain these benefits.

I’m grateful I :heart: my sober life.
I’m grateful I :heart: my sober look.
I’m grateful I’m not going back.

If I am ever blessed with grandchildren, I will remember how I twitched when my MIL made comments about how she raised HER kids. SMH
And I pray that I will be doing that sober :pray:
Enjoy the Gus!

Today I’m grateful for: adulting!
Thank you @Soberbilly for your kind words and appreciation, I love to read your posts and the wisdom you share. It often echoes deep.

Well, I’m grateful I’m still not upset, only shaking my head, about my ex’s comment on the wedding dress. I was bitchy and sent him a picture asking if this brings back some memory :smiling_imp:

I’m grateful I did the seeding, did some chores remembering doing one thing is more than zero, I snuggled the cats, watched my favourite series on TV and now it’s nearly 8 p.m. and I’m off to bed. I’m really exhausted today, emotionally and physically tired, I feel ok and I’m content to feel ok. I’m grateful for this day with all its aspects :pray: And I’m grateful I go to bed sober, days like today were usually ended with beer and talks with friends. Just for today I feel better on the calm and silent side of my personality. Maybe tomorrow too.

Congratulations! Can you still remember how you struggled to get to 7 days, I don’t know but if I remember correctly it was around day 8/9 you gave in many times. And know, 3 whole months. That fantastic. That’s soo good to see.

This sober thing, recovery has changed my life so much. Upside down, really. I was just thinking today what drinking Franzi would have done in my current situation. I think I might have upped my daily dose and self-pity party. And nothing would have changed.

Thanks! I definitely remember. I joined here back in 2021 and seriously struggled! I finally achieved a switch in thinking about alcohol.
