Late check in. Sleep is out of sight at past 2 a.m. I’m grateful I can read around and find gems, helpful posts and distraction.
I’m grateful I did cleaning and re-arrangement for tomorrow. today as it’s past midnight. I’m grateful I found further stuff - if I remember correctly some kind of high quality most 
- which belongs to my ex. I’m grateful I sorted the boxes and labeled it. I’m grining as this stuff doesn’t get better with time and my ex was so proud and fond of it 
Tastes are individual. They must have been there for years … Hidden behind clutter 
Sorry, I’m bitchy. I really laugh that he gets some -hopefully - excellent vinegar tomorrow

Good morning to all! It is an overcast and cool Saturday morning here in Wisconsin where all the cool kids hang out and don’t drink or use! Woooot!
It’s a small crowd friends, but I am grateful for every one of us, especially the two of us in my home.
I’m grateful to be sober and free of the chains and demands of failing to manage my drinking.
I’m grateful to be in good health and be able to swim and ride a bike and paddle a kayak and work in the garden and mow the lawn. Dang, I’m glad I can vacuum.
I’m grateful to be sleeping well these days. Lots of outdoor time and good food and good rest is building me up for the coming school year. I Can feel it!
I’m grateful to be married to my man. He’s working hard on restoring the outside of our home that was built in 1890. He’s almost done with one side of it and it looks amazing! His work on our house is a love letter and I’m thrilled to be here to see him doing his work. He’s done some amazing things inside too.
I’m grateful that my brother is continuing his learning and growing in sobriety. He continues to amaze me and I’m so grateful to be a part of his journey. It has been very challenging for me at times as his recovery work and his relationship troubles stir up a lot of trauma for me. But I also think I’m getting another layer of work on that recovery along the way too. He is inspiring me these days to work on letting it go and truly live in the present. We are fortunate to be able to do this work together and end the cycle of bullshit in our family. Yup, that’s a technical psychology term: cycle of bullshit. And our family has some doozies in it!
I’m grateful to have enough resources to be able to really enjoy this break and not fret about money. We live simply and enjoy the simple and free things that are nearby. I love my new bike and am getting to use it a lot.
I’m grateful for my pets. This summer break let’s me spend lots of time with them. I can feel their day to day habits and interests right now. They are quite the crew.
I’m grateful for my garden. It’s been a rough spring and early summer with a drought now. But nevertheless Mother Nature is getting things to grow. I made homemade raspberry ice cream this week with the fruits of our labor!
I’m grateful to be heading to a camping trip this week and relax even more. We will have a kayak, a fishing pole and a stack of library books. Sweet relaxation!
I wish you all the best and I hope you get to practice gratitude each day. It is the air of recovery.
Peace!

@nowenbrace it’s a beautiful day to day to celebrate you and your love among family and friends – Have a wonderful day! Looking forward to the pics
@cjp whoa congrats to hubby – that is exciting news
Happy Saturday my lovely sober friends
I am so grateful for getting soooo much sleep last night (good sleep without much interruptions and no extra body aches from me fighting off demons)
I am so grateful for the cloudy feel outdoors - it’s like it’s saying its okay to come out and the air will not hurt me today - i am go for a very slow paced walk today (hopefully i can keep the slow pace - walking freely gives me a light energy and i am usually almost running)
I am so grateful for another day of possibilities.
I am so grateful for plumbing that works, a/c and heat, a cozy home, delicious healthy foods
I am so grateful that my body is slowly starting to forgive me for all that i’ve put it through. I do feel hopeful yet again that i will overcome. I’ll be young and carefree on the outside to match the insides.
I am so grateful to know that recovery is a process and you have to work it to see results. Grateful to have the time to work it and the patience to wait for the results.
I am so grateful for my family and friends.
I am so grateful to see that a movie on Bob Marley’s life is being released next year. Looking forward to seeing it but I am a bit skeptical - i couldn’t finish watching the trailer as I really am not pleased by the casting of this movie. The actor does not capture any part of Bob (physical, spiritual, charisma)
I am so grateful for my meditation/prayer practices to keep me grounded and allow me not to stray into the negative thoughts. I am grateful to know that these thoughts are a dark hole and if i’m not mindful will suck me me whole.
I am so grateful for this beautiful community and all of you beautiful souls! Thank you for being YOU!
Much love -

I’m grateful I got up and stayed up before my alarm went off at 4:24 this am. Rise and shine 
I’m grateful my mother would always say that. I wasn’t think that this morning but I’m grateful for that memory I have right now of my mom.
I’m happily un-resentful 
whatever…….cool, with the idea my wife said she’s not walking with us this morning. I’m grateful I’m a morning person 
but only after 
I’m grateful she’s not an early riser and there really is no point of her walking with us in the AM.
I’m grateful Benson and I had a fun walk at quarter to six this morning. I’m grateful I brought 4 bags. It was a 
bagger. TMI? 
I’m grateful I had a spare.
I’m grateful to notice and feel the cool goodness of some cool spots in the shade whilst walking. I’m grateful for my attempt at creative writing
Speaking of creative writing. Or writing about it.
I’m grateful for M and her 2 very poignant shares she had yesterday on some other threads. I’m grateful for screenshots.
I’m so grateful you are part of my journey @M-be-free49
I’m grateful some friends stopped by last night. I’ll post them on the nature thread later.
We’re not hiring!
I’m grateful for day 2 of praying away my resentments for, about, towards my wife. I’m grateful it’s uncomfortable, I don’t know how to do it. I don’t know what or how to ask for what I want or what my God wants. But I’m grateful I’m just going to go through the motions and see what happens. 
I’m grateful last night when wifey said she was going to order a margarita before the server got to our table.
I said, “That trick never works.”
She said, “just one” (I did not lol)
I said, “see you tomorrow.”
I’m grateful she stuck with wine.
I’m grateful I think I could have handled it better. Maybe
I’m grateful I STFU even though my mind wanted to explain away for hours.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon. I’m not sure if that was Al-Anon action worthy. But me saying my piece and dropping it and STFU and letting it go certainly was Al-Anon approved.
I’m grateful for my 3 plus hours of quiet time this am and it’s not even 8 yet. I’m grateful I can nap if I like later. And definitely not feel guilty.
I’m grateful for the unfamiliar loud bird noises I just heard. WTF. I’m grateful the desert bird songs or screeches continue to surprise and amaze me.
I’m grateful I’m sober and I didn’t run over any gamble quail or baby gambles or bunnies on my way home last night. I thought we had a deal. They’re suicidal 
. I’m grateful there was no car behind us when I slammed on the breaks to not run them over more that once. I didn’t even look in my rear view mirror.
I’m grateful for gratitude.
I’m grateful for our home thread.
So today better be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today has got to be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day, good day.
If we blow away the past
With a bloody great blast,
Make it fast, make it fast
So have a good day today
Because it could be your last,
Make it last, make it last
Will it light up the sky?
Will it blot out the sun?
Well we’ve waited this long,
So it better be a good one
Good day, good day, good day

I’m grateful when you do this I think of Robin Williams.
Of course in my mind “He,” is saying Sober Fam instead of Vietnam.
And it’s such a lovely way to start my day when I see your gratitude list.
I’m grateful you are here.

Today I’m grateful the day is over. Again. I’m grateful my house is ex-free now. It went ok. I’m grateful my friend came over to accompany me. I’m so sad and my heart is breaking over and over again. That’s so stupid. This is over. So can my fucking feelings shut the fuck up and stop screaming they want him back on my side when in reality I’m releaved that I don’t beg for love anymore and I know he doesn’t care? I’m grateful my friend shared her observations with me. I’m grateful I listened. I’m grateful she dragged me out of my pitty party, claimed adulting and showed me funny videos on youtube.
I’m grateful I ordered my favourite food and slept all afternoon. I’m grateful the cats were curious and funny what happened in the guestroom and inspected it when everything of my ex was out. I’m grateful my own puzzle appeared. I completely forgot it exists.
I’m grateful I will rest tomorrow. I’m grateful I hang around on the couch watching TV. I’m tired, I’m so tired of longing for love, of missing, of grieving, of feeling alone. I’m grateful tomorrow is a new day.

Grateful you got through today - grateful that you had your friend by your side.
finally rid of all his stuff and hopefully now the healing can begin. i know it took what seems like for ever for my pain to go away - it was pain and hatred for so long (i ended it after 13 years of on and off but still it stung to end it with finality). 10 years later i’m not sure at what point it happened but i am not sad or angry anymore. Everyone says time heals all and i do believe its true - we can’t rush it or wish the pain away - it will heal on its own. You are doing the absolutely right thing by feeling the feelings and sorting through them.
Yeah to a lovely restful Sunday ahead! You are finally free of the last bit that was holding you back - spread those wings and fly my friend.

Congratulations @M-be-free49 on your 365 days… yes, it is an exact match to the one I gave you in 2021!
I am sorry about the sad things going on in your life, glad you had the friendship you did with your friend and have had the many (still) loving years w your Mom.
Thinking about you through the joys and the challenges.

Thank you @JazzyS
I wish this was true but removing his stuff from my house was one tiny step with a major impact on my daily life. There’s still the farm, the chaos there, the claim for financial separation I bring to court and then my decision either I pay him out or the farm will be sold.
This whole situation is so depressing for me atm. Every bit of work is linked with loss and grief. Every step forward is hurting and opening wounds. Tomorrow I will settle my late mums heritage at the notary.
Well, all this shall pass too. Until then it’s ODAAT from minute to minute. I’m grateful I slept for 11 hours. I needed it and will nap through the rest of the afternoon. Tomorrow is the next heartbraking day. Thanks for being there for me
