Good morning all :wave:

I am grateful for the hospital staff taking care of my son this morning. He has gone for endoscopy to see if they can work out why he’s in pain. Please God they finally work this out, and it can be treated :pray:

I am grateful for everyone in the TS community that have guided me back to my sober path with such kindness and empathy :heart:

I am grateful I am day 4 and have woken up beautifully sober :seedling::partly_sunny:

I am grateful for the rain. Other parts of our world are in sweltering heat and trying to fight wildfires. I pray for their safety :pray:

Coffee lovers here won’t like me much for saying this, but - I am grateful I’m about to have a nice black decaf coffee to start my morning :coffee:

I am grateful I live in a part of the world that I have the peace to enjoy simple pleasures like a cup of coffee, which we often take for granted.

Have a blessed day everyone :pray::two_hearts:

Good morning grateful friends,

I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful I could remind myself that drinking won’t solve anything.
I’m grateful that while I’m struggling with my mental health, I still hold out hope that things can and will get better. There were much darker times in my past when I wanted to die. I’m grateful I’m not still in that place.
I’m grateful I reached out to a couple friends I hadn’t talked to in months. It was good to catch back up. I have a hard time maintaining friendships.
I’m grateful for this community.

My last name is Miszka but most of ppl call me Mischa, since always :slight_smile:
I don’t know much about my roots from father side, I heard we have ancestors from east (Russia) but my father hated Russians so bad he was always cutting this subject and say “we are not fucking Russians, we are Polish!” :sweat_smile:
Now he’s dead, I never met my grandpa (he died before I was born), my grandma died when I was 6, I dont have a contact with family from his side so nobody to ask.
Now when I think about it I should make some digging and check this out. It was always interesting subject or me and I just realize I forgot about it for many years.

Today I wake up grateful for the rain and lightning I got to see yesterday driving home from work. I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and it was the perfect soundtrack for that experience. It was so awesome. I am also thankful for making it to day 10.

I’m grateful for 43 months sober but who’s still counting? This guy :raising_hand_man: :+1: right here!

I’m grateful to be up too early again, doing my thing and my slight headache is gone.
I’m grateful for coffee and Tylonol.

I’m grateful Daisy is so gentle in the morning and just lies on top of me purring waiting for me to get/wake up.

I’m grateful I already had Alice time this morning and now I’m unencumbered.

I’m grateful for the great big full moon last night I saw in my bedroom window through the pines. Not sure it was :100: full but close enough for this guy! I’m grateful when I let Benson out in the dark this morning there it was again. Big full moon on the back side of the house shining through the ponderosas.

I’m grateful for cool mountain air in the morning.

I’m grateful we got a move out date or 2 :grimacing: one to pack it up. The next day to move it down. I’m grateful it’s a little earlier than we wanted but only by a couple of days so we took it anyway. Grateful we will work it out.

I’m grateful my wife will still be able to get her hair done even though it’s the day before we move :grimacing: and it’s complicating the shit out of those few days. I’m grateful I understand her anxiety about getting this last hair appointment with the hair dresser she loves and it will be the last time and she will have to find a new one in a strange place and I know she hates doing that. I’m grateful we’ll work it out. I’m grateful to be “the guy” and can use my clippers and do my own hair. Whatever is left of it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m grateful we really like our vet in Scottsdale and they are a Cat Friendly Practice. I’m grateful my daughter has a vet she likes in Thousand Oaks and she loves her dentist. Grateful for future tripping here.

Grateful for this extra long quiet morning to get my head on right and get the Ol Burner walked and day going.

Grateful my plumber got back to me yesterday and can get my yearly maintenance done on my filters and water heater before we list the house.

Grateful for gratitude and all you gratidudes.

Happy Hump Day my beautiful sober friends —
I am so grateful for waking up today. The energy is not there but i’m pushing through.
I am so grateful that i was able to catch the guys doing maintenance today and ask them to trim the hedges and bushes (they are huge) - SO grateful to be living in a condo where the outdoor maintenance is taken care of). Grateful to have walked out when i heard the noise - bare foot and it was lovely! Love feeling the ground
I am so grateful for enjoying my hot cup of coffee at the kitchen. I am grateful that i have the day to turn my energy around. I am grateful that I will work on my mentality today.
I am so grateful that i will be seeing my in network doctor today. Not looking forward to the weigh in TBH. Fingers crossed that she doesn’t give me the run around (especially since i am now going to my own doctor - luckily both of them used to work together).
I am so grateful for my family. My mother is amazing and forever trying to figure out how to help me and make things better. My family’s support is incredible and i will forever be grateful
I am so grateful that our contract with T-mobile is up and I can finally get a new phone. My phone has been acting up since I upgraded (2 yrs ago) - now it’s finally time to have a phone that will work :crossed_fingers:
I am so grateful for my connections made here - i feel like i can be open and honest without judgement and we all know this struggle so it’s easier to understand where one is coming from.
I am so grateful for my ability to do deep breathes and stretching, to meditate and pray, to connect with mother earth and with my HP to just live in the moment and soak in life.
I am so grateful for this community and all of the beautiful souls here - Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey!
Have a wonderful addiction free day - sending much love :heart: :heart:

Good evening friends,
I’m grateful to find laughter at work. I’m grateful I got to see the cotton candy sunrise clouds this morning. I’m grateful that the premade freezer meal dinner I had planned accidentally got burned while being heated up ( dang kids :laughing:) so we had Taco Bell, and it was pretty good. I’m grateful for my best friend, and all the stuff we talk to each other about. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness and learning :heart:

Thanks @JazzyS! Yeah, I’m taking a B vitamin every morning. The brain fog is a little better today. Hope it lasts! :crossed_fingers:

Today I am grateful for…

32 Days sober.
Metal shows.
Exercise in the fresh air.
Sweet deals at the grocery store.
The effort I’m making to cook more and spend less on takeout food.
Seeing my dogs enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Emails with my friend.
Chocolate.
Sharing and giving back what I can when I can. Even if it seems small.
