Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #4

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.

Good morning grateful friends :sunny:

I’m grateful for another sober day.

I’m grateful I had fun at the baseball game last night even though my team lost. We had a great time. (Pic in the selfie thread)

I’m grateful I had asked for this morning off work because we didn’t get back til late last night. The cats let me sleep in an extra hour but then demanded breakfast.

I’m grateful the sun is shining.

I’m grateful for my coffee this morning.

And a fantastic Wednesday morning tonall my sober friends…

Yet again, i lve exhausted my likes well ill get a few more in an hour :thinking: really dont understand the algorithm here but grateful that im finding so much on this site to like/love.

I am so very grateful for my lovely “putvofvthe box” thinking doctor. Shes not covered by my insurance but so worth it. She actually listens to me and genuinely cares. She isnt afraid to say “i don’t know” or has never said “thats not possible”.
I am so grateful that ive been able to get back the possitive energy in this household…thanks to @mx_elle and her suggestions. :pray:
I am grateful that ill have time for my 1/2 hour meditation before work today
I am so grateful that my coffee is awakening parts of me that i didnt know were asleep :smiling_face:
I am so grateful that im not stressing about work and just doing the best i can - realizing that the cycle really doesnt allow for me to catch up so ive got to take time to breathe rather than chase my tail
I am so grateful for my family and all the love and support im getting from them.
I am so grateful that im slowly learning to cohabitate with someone else. This pastvyear has been a eye opener. Although i dont want to move back to my house (just got my renters to sign another year lease) but i do need my own space. Hopefully i will find something this spring :pray:
I am si grateful for my ability to meditate /pray and the strenght from my higher power to keep moving forward
I am so grateful for this loving TS community- so much love for you all.
I am so grateful that my mind is racing with gratitudes but i do have to run.
Sending much love :heart:

Holy smokes so much gratitude to catch up on! I’m still figuring out my summer morning routine and now that I’m not busing in to work I have to figure out where to fit in my morning gratitude. I love this community, everyone’s kindness and support means a lot to me–wherher it’s directed at me or just at one another, it’s wonderful to be a part of. Yesterday I went to my first work softball team game, and was not as anxious as I’d thought, more anxious about my ability (which is legit) than just general social anxiety. It was fun and I’m glad I joined. My calendar for May is almost full, but it’s not overwhelming to me, and I think the mini mindfulness practice I’m building is helping a lot. I’m grateful to the folks here who’ve inspired me to give it a real go, grateful to me for putting myself out there and trying new things and having fun, grateful to my bf who made me some food to eat for the ten minutes I was at home between dog class and softball, grateful I have so many people in my life who can lighten my heart and make me smile. Grateful for the life I’ve made, the relationships I’ve built, and grateful that I can look forward to a life full of sober mornings and not hungover days.

I’m grateful for a great day so far.
I’m grateful to be trying my best to live my own life on life’s terms.
I’m grateful resentments start with me. And only me. I’m grateful for some of the big changes I see in myself. At least for today. Small victories. But they are HUGE to me.

I am, again, grateful for my sober twin and her idea of the 10 day mantra challenge back when.
I’m grateful I did a short meditation before I went to my doctors yesterday.
I’m grateful for Om Mani Padme Fucking Hum :pray:t2::pray:t2::pray:t2:
I’m grateful after the meditation I put the Om Mani Padme Hum Mantra on while I was getting ready to leave. I’m grateful I chanted in the car on my own for the ten minute ride to the doctors office. I’m grateful my blood pressure was so fucking good/low, and that, along with all the other things they take into consideration, age, weight, race etc……. I am not in a high risk level for cardiovascular issues and the recommendation I previously had for statins is no longer necessary. Mainly because my blood pressure was so good compared to when they took my blood. I’m grateful she took the time to explain to me why I was a high risk. And how I am not anymore. Today. I’m grateful she listened to my concerns. I’m grateful I forgot half of them.

I’m grateful I walked the dogs on my own this morning. See “are you affected by a loved one who is an addict……) if your interested. I’m grateful I didn’t think. I’m grateful when I catch myself thinking about what she’s thinking about me I stop……

I’m grateful I had 2 good walks this morning and a Pilates workout.

I’m grateful Julie wanted me to keep in touch about my doctors appointment. I’m grateful I sent her a video about it with desert clouds and maybe, possibly, barely, a raindrop or 3.

I’m grateful for my deck.
I’m grateful 3 out of 4 cats are plugged in out here. 2 dogs and a wifey.
I’m grateful I’m feeling a little nap coming on.
I’m grateful to be going to my chiropractor this afternoon.
I’m grateful wifey got tickets to the Improv tonight in Tempe. Never been. Have no idea where I’m going. Grateful for an adventure tonight.
Most of all, I’m grateful I’m sober and hangover free with y’all.
:pray:t2::hugs::heart::joy:

I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today while abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I turned 45 today and it was my fourth straight clean and sober birthday. I’m grateful I went to two meetings. I’m grateful I got to spend hours with my parent’s who spoiled me with gifts, including lunch at a restaurant on the beach looking over Lake Erie. I’m grateful my womanfriend made me dinner and spoiled me as well. I’m grateful I gave my Mom something for Mother’s day as I won’t see her then. I’m grateful I brought cheescake for my womanfriend and me to enjoy after dinner. I’m grateful I can start my diet over and just enjoy a nice day. I’m grateful the weather was beautiful and I got to walk the beach. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for my sponsor and the twelve steps we work together. I’m grateful for the newcomer at the meeting. I’m grateful for cuddles with Deb’s(my womanfriends name) pomeranian named Frank, what a cutie he is. I’m grateful for quit lit and to be not just reading the big book but studying it. I’m grateful for clean laundry and showers. I’m grateful to be alive and free.

May our higher powers give us hope.

p.s. I believe in you. Ya you!!
