Grateful for 200 days today! I survived another busy summer of baseball, my masters degree is in the mail on it’s way to me, and I’m really getting organized at work and learning how to handle my emotions better and collaborate more. Thankful for everyone here as always, this sober family is always here in good moments and tough ones when no one else around me can understand what I’m dealing with on my sober journey!

I’m grateful I had a wonderful walk with Benson and my Om Mani Padme Hum chant. It’s such an emotional moving chant for me. I’m grateful I still cry when I hear Nadav say I am the Jewel in the Lotus.

I’m grateful for the long stretch of Mavy time I got this morning. Just me and him. I’m grateful I didn’t try to continue my morning routine while he was on my lap to get the day going. I’m grateful for the serenity a cat can give me.
I’m grateful I remembered he can be my higher power.

I’m grateful I have a lot of “we,” gratitude with my wife. I’m grateful we still say good morning I love you, as I did when I walked in the door this morning after our walk. I’m grateful I think I want her to fail at things around the house. Going to bed getting up to walk etc…… so she will reach rock bottom and maybe, just maybe, realize she has a problem. Actually I’m grateful she does know she has a problem. Maybe I want her to fail enough around here so maybe she can start doing something about it.
Because if she stops drinking all my problems will disappear :dotted_line_face:

Quoting myself:
I’m grateful I know this :point_up_2: is not how it works.
I’m grateful I know I have to live with me.
I’m grateful I do know I am getting better.
I’m grateful I know it helps me to leave my shit here with you all and it lightens my load. I’m grateful that makes me feel better. Today. Currently.
I’m grateful I got a meeting tonight.
I’m grateful I got 5 possible meetings this week.
I’m grateful I do not have to go out to lunch with her anymore if she is going to drink. I’m grateful she knows this. I’m grateful I got plenty of fruit and healthy foods in the house.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon, Al-Anon literature, the Al-Anon slogans, and both of my recoveries.
I’m grateful I’m a sober bad ass!!

Things got worse before they got better. I constantly turned my will and my life over to God, not alcoholism.

Good morning. :sparkles:

I am grateful to have woken up with 1303 days substance free on my 6th drug and booze free camping trip since I was little.
I am grateful for neural plasticity and for my very incredible body. Sometimes I forget about how incredible my body is and how it has healed itself over time.
These last two camping trips have not been recovery based, they have just been personal ones and guess what?!?!?!? Bringing beers or dope along didnt even cross my mind. Finding things to do that didnt include playing flippy cup or other stupid drinking games wasnt hard to do. My days are full today with soul filling activities and I am grateful for that.
I am grateful for these days I will have alone with my kiddo, just her and I, oh and Nugs.
My child has been writing a story, well its more than just a story actually I believe it will end up a trilogy and possiby she will have a graphic novel as well. I grateful for her talents and the ways she uses imagery through words and drawing to express herslef. She is so damn gifted.
I am grateful that she said I was allowed to brag about her report card so I will do a little of that here. Straight A’s!!!
I am grateful for her brilliant mind and for COVID because by forcing her to do school at home I came face to face with how little support she was recieving through the school and how much she was struggling. Having Autism, ADHD and a learning disability isnt easy… I am grateful that my full time job is to take care of my daughter and support her education so that she can output to the best of her ability. Iam so damn grateful that today I am 100% present and able to learn from her so that I can support her in the ways she needs. Before i only knew one way… my way and that just doesnt work for her.

We make a pretty good team her and I. I am very grateful for that.

Lunchtime gratitude. I’m grateful my car is at the garage and I can afford the annual service & repair. I’m grateful for public transportation with reliable schedules. I’m grateful for my lovely cats, this snuggling, purring furbabies. I’m grateful for a hot shower, this crazy weather is driving me nuts. I’m sweating and freezing at the same time, one day it’s hot like hell, the next day it’s cool with thunderstorms. I am officially pissed.

I’m grateful for yummi food and for visiting a friend yesterday. I felt very lonely and needed company. Sometimes my life feels not real, like the last years were a fairy tale, only without “and they lived happily ever after”. Well, maybe I’m slowly loosing my mind. I’m tired of everything. I’m grateful I’m tired in my cozy house, on the comfy couch, watching old series and resting. I’m grateful for black tea, the smooth blanket I share with the old boy and that the christmas decoration is still up. I love to look at it, glitter and glimmer never get old for me.
