@its_me_stella Love that smile lady – looking good. Love that you are out doing what you are passionate about – jewelry looks awesome!
@soberbilly Love brain plasticity .! Not sure if I missed it or if you want to share – what is your going on with your daughter (need for a lawyer) – I do hope its not something serious and can be resolved easily. BTW – love the pic

Happy Thursday my lovely sober companions
I am so grateful another day to be breathing, smelling (not stuffy today), moving and just around being alive!
I am so grateful for humor. Laughing so hard that stomach cramps have me kneeled over (but in a good way). Grateful for laughing so hard that i sometimes forget to breathe. :rofl: :joy:
I am so grateful for a lovely sunny day full of possibilities. Grateful for making myself move more today and focus on living
I am so grateful for sleep - good quality sleep is underrated
I am so grateful for seated gentle stretching.
I am so grateful for deep breathing that helps me calm down emotionally
I am so grateful for my lovely family. Grateful for the support and our open communication. My baby brother is turning 40 soon and he no longer wants to do anything for it - we will be discussing tonight for sure as i am big about celebrating bdays (not with presents but more with a memorable event – last year we created a murder mystery for him which actually went off swimmingly - i don’t have the energy for that level but want to do something). I am hoping that his GF is not the reason for his sudden change.
I am so grateful that I am have my practices of meditation and prayer - i know that if I am not active in these that I can be sucked into depression so I am grateful for the energy to keep up with these practices
I am so grateful for my HP and the positive energy He encompassed me with.
I am so grateful for this super supportive community. Grateful for all of you in my life. Thank you :pray:
Sending you all much love :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful for William’s beautiful pic to start my gratitude.
@WilliamBloke It looks so peaceful.

I’m grateful I too had Daisy and then Mavy making biscuits on me this morning :kissing_cat: in bed.
I’m grateful how they take turns.

I’m grateful to get up at a normal hour.
I’m grateful I know I’m probably going to be in a depressive state the next few days. It always happens when we get home to Flagstaff. I’m grateful I can recognize this, and her getting all liquored up last night means it’s happening again. I’m grateful I know I can’t do shit about her but I can do shit about me.

I’m grateful I was able to hit a meeting last night. I’m grateful it sucked balls :grimacing: I’m grateful I guess I was just suppose to listen last night as we ran out of time. I’m grateful when I do get to share I’m mindful of the other people and don’t drone on and one like I do with my gratitude list. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m grateful I’m chairing a meeting today that I know nothing about and I think it’s a concept meeting which I know nothing about. I don’t even know most of these people at this meeting. I’m grateful none of that matters I just get to be me.

I’m grateful I fucked up my coffee this morning, too many espresso beans, yes Jazzy it possible to grind too much espresso :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: then too much water and it actually came out perfect. :+1: :coffee: I’ll probably never get that ratio again.

I’m grateful for 60 degree mornings.
I’m grateful I get to walk Benson on the trail up here and begin our Flagstaff life with just one fucking dog. The Ol Burner better be up for the task. I’m going to get Fatso trimmed down now as we get to walk a bit longer now without Minnie. Speaking of Fatso :thinking: I’m grateful I know I better watch myself as I need to get rid of some of this dead dog drunk wife emotional eating weight I’m putting on. I’m grateful at least I’m sober.

I’m grateful for the healing properties of music.
I’m grateful I put on the Kinks this morning Good Day. It put me in a right good mood.

I’m grateful I hear a disturbance in the force and it’s time to do battle. The Al-Anon way.
:pray:t2::heart::mountain:

So today has got to be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day.

I’m extremely grateful for my mother. I can tell her anything and she doesn’t judge me a bit. She loves me unconditionally, and I love her the same way.

Ah Eric - i’m sorry that you are going through a depressive state being back in Flagstaff. I do hope that it doesn’t last long.

Thank you for writing the bit about the beans cause i literally was like is this possible as i was reading :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Grateful you were able to get the ratio sorted out.
Do hope your meeting today is helpful and the longer walks also lift your mood.
Do know -we are just a click away my friend!

You got this my friend! Sending strength and love :heart: :people_hugging:

I’m grateful for these 10 days of sobriety. Grateful I woke up without a hangover. I’m grateful my ex finally replied back to my millionth apology text, it wasn’t what I hoped to hear but he said he forgives me… really trying to be grateful for that. My cousin was released from the hospital (she has cirrhosis), I’m grateful she can spend the day with her family hopefully in little pain. And lastly, grateful for a week vacation with my daughter to the Ozarks. Grateful I have books and AA zoom meetings to get me through downtime. Grateful I’ll experience my first sober vacation even if I’m a little scared.

Nicely done with the double digits.
It takes a while for our loved ones/ friends to find their way back to us (our actions have to show that we’ve changed) - grateful that you were able to get an answer back and that your ex has forgiven you. healing is a slow process.
have a wonderful time on your vacation - grateful hat you are already equipped with your meetings and do know we are here for you too… you will have a wonderful sober time with your daughter. Looking forward to some pics on the travelling sober thread :wink:

I am grateful for my family, my best friend, my fiancé, my dog, a place to call home, food in my stomach, a reliable job, and the ability to work towards recovery.
I know it’s cheesy, but Kung Fu Panda definitely resonates with me. Today is a gift to be enjoyed and not wasted.

Thank you for sharing Billy. I am so sorry that your daughter is experiencing such trauma from her mom and grateful that she has you and has hired a lawyer to help cease this nasty treatment.

Grateful that you were able to keep your boundaries and offer comfort without being bogged down with the toxicity. Leslee is handling this really well and should be proud. I wish cyberbullying was a punishable crime - it is so toxic and often times the bully never sees the chaos that they cause.

Sending her loads of comfort and strength as she gets through this battle.

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through another day while following his will and abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes.

I’m grateful to have caught up on about 75 posts after becoming less committed to posting my daily gratitude, but fully committed to living gratefully to the best of my ability, all day everyday. I’m grateful that years of participation on this thread has drastically improved my mindset and this definitely is my home thread. I think about my gratitude and soooo many of you often. When I see a dental office or sunflower. I think of, well you guessed it, @Sunflower1 When people mention Buddhism I think of @Nowenbrace @Soberbilly. My friends will metion playing sober sports and I think of @Dazercat @Mno @Runningfree @Bootz. When someone mentions the universe at NA or spiritual principles a day I think of @Its_me_Stella. I saw a new cheese store last week and wanted to take a picture to let @anon74766472 know I was thinking about her. You all matter. I see a tic tac touque or hear about wildfires and other things that make me think of @M-be-free49 Met a newcomer named jazz on tuesday, guess who came to mind JazzyS

I’m grateful my current sponsor and I have made our first pass together, thoroughly, through every one of the twelve steps as of Wednesday morning. I’m grateful this Monday I will go golfing with my parents and sister for the first time in well over a decade. I’m grateful I get to be sad that I missed all that time with them but don’t have to continue to regret it or stay stuck in it. I know how to create new memories and be there and present now. I’m grateful to be making a lot of financial ammends lately. I’m grateful to have bought myself some stuff too, like clothes that fit. I’m grateful my weight seems to have stopped dropping for now, my crohns disease is tough that way and I think that might be what seems to make me extra tired sometimes. I’m grateful for meditation and to be in bed to try one now. Namastae

God bless us all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!
