Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #4

[Dakotahjae]

Congrats on 90 days! What a great feeling.

[CueBall8n9]

Thank you @Dakotahjae

[JazzyS]

@FeelingBetter so happy that you were able to get through your mammogram and blood work today and finally get a hot (even it was reheated) cup of coffee. Hoping for good results!
@CueBall8n9 so excited that the wedding and especially the singing were a hit. Again a big congrats on your 90 days! Enjoy your week off and time with the kids
@Soberbilly y I am still learning so much of all the programs for recovery offered both in meetings and online. I was aware of the 12 steps but that was as far as my knowledge went. I’ve noticed you mentioned Refuge Recovery a few times and I have started doing some research. I am finding this all so fascinating. I thank you for opening my eyes to this form of recovery. Found these 4 noble truths of Refuge Recovery which I loved reading and so want to understand further. So just wanted to say thank you!
the Four Noble truths
• There is suffering. We commit to understanding the truth of suffering.
• There is a cause of suffering. We commit to understanding that craving leads to suffering.
• There is an end to suffering. …
• There is a path that leads to the end of suffering.

Morning,
So grateful for my early morning dog walk today. It’s a beautiful morning, the rain and warm weather has made the wild flowers burst out all around the lane. There are pinks, yellows, whites and purples wherever you look. The smell of them all mixed together was amazing. I also saw a fox on the path, he stopped and looked at me then ran off, beautiful. There were snails all over too, they like the early morning, I’ve got to look where I step.
I always take my tea with me, such a nice way to wake up, I’m grateful

Good morning grateful friends

I’m grateful to be back on track. Didn’t drink yesterday. Not going to drink today.

I’m grateful for a good therapy session yesterday. I had a lot to talk about. A lot to work on. I’m grateful we talked about the need to have hard conversations and that I’m not responsible for how the other person reacts or feels when I speak my truth.

I’m grateful to be going to a baseball game tonight. I’m a big Red Sox fan and they are down here playing in Atlanta. I’m just trying not to lose my temper with my bf before we go. I’m putting off the hard conversation until tomorrow.

I’m grateful my favorite coworker will be back at work after her vacation. I missed chatting with her.

I’m grateful I found a local sober Facebook group and they are having a picnic tomorrow evening. I hate going to things where I don’t know anyone but I’m sure they would be welcoming and it would be good for me to go. I need to make sober friends.

Progress not perfection.

Saw this yesterday and it hit home:

[Irisees919]

This morning, I am grateful to wake up in sober skin with a sense of calm. I am grateful to see my blood pressure returning back to close to normal range. I am grateful to continue seeing health changes as a result of taking better care of myself. I am grateful for a potential new client -I feel we are stepping into each others lives at just the right time. I am grateful for my closest friend with whom i exchange messages all day each day to support and be a sounding board for each other. I am grateful for my Mom’s improvements and to see that yesterday she wore the pj’s we gave her for Christmas for the first time and loved them. I am grateful to have a little more flexibility in my day today. I am grateful the conditions are perfect for a noce walk/run this morning before this part of the world wakes up.

Peace and love to all - have a great 24.

Good Tuesday morning my sober friends

I am so grateful that i was able to get in an extra hour of sleep this morning…still tired now but not exhausted
I am so grateful that i woke up at 6 to a freezing room because my brother left windows open upstairs but was ablevto get toasty warm with the space heater
I am so grateful that my brother stayed at his girlfriends house last night rather than bringing that nasty energy here
I am so grateful that i have a mild headache and the few new benign cysts are not sore or painful and seem to have subsided. Overall pain level low
I am so grateful for my morning coffee and this gratitude thread- game changer!
I am so grateful for my affirmations and my solo meditations. Hopeful to get back into yoga and swimming soon🤞
I am so grateful for seeing my doctor soon and hopefully getting the tests ive requested approved.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for odaat.
I am grateful I feel more secure about myself. The negative selftalk is not so loud. It won’t win in discussions about what others think and what I need. I still think about it but think so far as in regard to my work here in France it’s okay.
I am grateful I have enough food in my fridge, clean water, internet to attend yoga classes, for some chats and laughter with colleagues.
I am grateful to see that not everyone is against me. In my active addiction this was my normal state of mind. Never trust anyone. Now I still have trust issues. I let the possibility to trust room, that not everyone is there to disappoint me. I am grateful I level my expectations. We are all human.
I am grateful I have enough.

I’m grateful the Ol Burner and I snuck out on Minnie for another walk today. I’m grateful he followed me to the bathroom while I was sun blocking. I’m grateful Minnie gets an extra bone when we leave.

I’m grateful they finally finished the road work in our neighborhood. We had to go a week without Amazon deliveries . I’m grateful we did survive that horror.

I’m grateful for desert spring flowers.
I’m grateful for the bright yellow lantana I didn’t realize I have out front.
I’m grateful I noticed the Yellow Palo Verde brightly blooming out front. I didn’t know it was there. When I walk out the front I always have a dog or adjusting my phone and ear buds.
I’m grateful both the lantana and the Palo Verde tree were screaming at me to look at them. I’m grateful I see them all the time now.
I’m grateful I can smell the Jasmine as I sit on the deck doing gratitude. I can’t see it. It’s along the side of the house . Grateful I get to smell it when the wind blows my way.
I’m grateful for the desert birdsong.

I’m grateful I’m taking a break from my intense cholesterol research to do my gratitude list.

I’m grateful my recovery work routine in the morning is all fucked up and I’m finding it easy to just go with My Flow. I’m grateful I’m finding this HUGE! I’m grateful I committed to a vigorous recovery routine in the morning my first 2 plus years to get where I am today.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful I don’t even want to.

I’m grateful for the movie Bill Durham when Tim Robbins’ character “Nuke,” says “Don’t Think, Meat.” Could be my new mantra. I’m grateful I been trying that lately. “Don’t think meat.” And it’s helping.

I’m grateful for gratitude and gratitudes, whenever and wherever we are.

Looks like a great place for a Gratidudes reunion. Gratitude Beach. Looks peaceful at the moment.
Enjoy

[JazzyS]

Did you already have your appointment today? Sorry uf i missed that post. If so, how did it go?
Your gratitudes sound so upbeat and relaxed - hopefully that is how you are feeling. Keep enjoying the beautiful sights and smells around you.

Today I’m grateful I managed to do the office work. Having a headache since yesterday, it’s not too bad but there is always a shadow of migraine on the left eye. Makes me nervous. I’m grateful the construction on the street was working until 8 pm. I hope they will be finished soon. I’m grateful the junior cats are ok. I’m grateful I’m very tired and will fall asleep now.
