Thank you my friend - yes - I feel so free. I am glad that I was able to accomplish that in my lifetime and now have so many gluten free / vegan / sugar free dessert recipes to keep my family’s sweet tooth fed :wink: Who knows - i may finally land a distributor that wants to run with the recipes and I’d be ok with that (just no more long as days for me standing on my feet). :pray:

WOW - the house sounds absolutely amazing - sending you good vibes that your offer gets accepted! :pray: :crossed_fingers:

This made me laugh— enjoy your “me” time!!!

I’m grateful I’m packed and ready and waiting.
I’m grateful I can be proactive and have an hour to sit around the house and wait for wifey.
I’m grateful my way isn’t the best way or only way. It should be :shushing_face: Just stepped in a should :poop:

I’m grateful my son is on his plane and it already took off. I’m grateful they will get there first.

I’m grateful for the huge dump I took at the meeting last night. I feel ten ponds lighter. I’m grateful I really got some shit off my chest. I’m grateful I cried. I’m grateful these people get it. I’m grateful I’m not alone. I’m grateful for the hugs I got. I even got a lunch invite with this OG, I use to be afraid of, at a new BBQ joint. He’s struggling just like me but with his son. And he can’t control his grown up son’s drinking either. Go figure :neutral_face:
I’m grateful another older couple gave me a hug. And I was able to wish them luck as they are also going to California to visit their alcoholic daughter for the first time in……. Forever……
I’m grateful I told the I’m bringing THINKC with me.
I don’t care for the misery loves company, but I’m grateful I’m not alone.

I’m grateful I found the time to come here and read some of y’all’s gratitude. I’m grateful it takes work around here sometimes to get caught up. I’m grateful I can’t get enough of y’all’s gratitude.

I’m grateful the pets are all at the vet for boarding. I’m grateful it went as smooth as possible. I’m grateful nobody got under the king size bed. Even the spray bottle doesn’t work anymore to get a cat out. I’m grateful I didn’t have to bring out the vacuum cleaners.

I’m grateful I’m feeling much better today. Currently. Im grateful I showered and shaved. I’m grateful I don’t have chronic pain and my prayers go out to all that do. And grateful you guys with the pain are the real sober warriors around here imo.

I’m grateful my son is so excited about his first 4 Alarm family Griswold get together. I’m grateful there will be some Family Vacation laughter. I’m grateful we all love our movie and tv quotes.

Although I practice gratitude and daily recognise so much I am gratefull for, I have not writ it down.
This will be a short one.

I am gratefull I am being kind to myself and not putting pressure on myself for not keeping up with my strict schedule.
I’m gratefull I know I have the strength to get back to the schedule when I have recharged.
I am gratefull to recognise that even trying to keep up with it when I need to be gentle with myself would be rather silly of me.
I’m gratefull I know this feeling of dissacosiation is temporary.
Gratefull the sun is shining.

Gratefull for the burgers I made and gratefull for a cosy bed to crawl into after watching a film in the garden.

Have a lovely day all :sunflower:

Morning friends,

I’m struggling to feel grateful because I feel like shit. Pain and bad depression. Crying as soon as I got up. :cry:

I’m grateful for another day sober. Drinking would only make things worse.

I’m grateful for Beans curled up in my lap while I drink my coffee.

I’m grateful I have therapy this afternoon. Lots to talk about.

I’m grateful for the hot shower I’m about to take.

I’m grateful for the roof over my head and food in my belly.

I’m grateful for this community.

Early afternoon gratitude. I’m grateful today is a holiday and I decided to make it a day of reading and relaxing. I’m grateful for weird dreams. Not nightmares! Even some silly stuff to giggle about.
I’m grateful I was completely dead yesterday. Tuesday was too intense. That’s life, some days are like this. I’m grateful I pause after it. Long enough to recover and regain energy, to sort my mind and emotions. I’m grateful I’m kind to myself. And to others. I’m grateful I let go. I’m grateful I respond, not react.

I’m grateful for my lovely furballs. They are my sunshine and spread purring love. We have fun. We enjoy each other’s company.

I’m grateful for friends and pals, nice texts, good chats, funny memes, snarky comments, good humour. I’m grateful for trust and caring, for concern and honesty. I’m grateful I’m still chewing on some personal questions …

I’m grateful I must take the weather as it is. Today it’s dry and no, I won’t do work in the garden, it’s me-time today. I need me-time. I need my books. They help me to get better. To deal with life on life terms. To understand myself. I’m grateful for healthy boundaries within me.
