Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #5

Monday morning gratitude’s
I am so grateful for a solid night’s sleep. Grateful that i figured out the extra zombie like feeling in the morning could be related to the melatonin.
I am so grateful for my dark roast morning coffee. Grateful that it is comforting me and giving me the energy I need to tackle this beautiful Monday

I am so grateful for this community and all of you. Grateful for the fun threads!
I am so grateful for mediation and prayer practices - grateful for the peace and serenity it provides.
I am so grateful that i was able to get my jewelry back in without trouble. Did break a ring and lost a ball so I am so grateful for being able to order some new pieces. Excited to have them tomorrow. Hopefully, i guessed the gauge right.
I am so grateful for my determination to get some routine back into my life. I am hoping to find the energy and get back into a schedule.
I am so grateful for laughter and positivity.

This is what started my latest slip. A hamper in one of the properties with champagne, beer, Buck’s Fizz, salmon, cheeses….like wtf. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: I knew this was a possibility but I didn’t have the knowledge to do what you did, or the bravery. I have to do this in future.

I agree, it’s a smart thing to do. If I can’t have booze in my house or I’ll drink it, I sure couldn’t resist it in a hotel, on vacation! Even the ridiculous mark up probably wouldn’t stop me, or I’d go to the store for a cheaper option. :grimacing:

Too much to catch up.
Today I’m grateful for a productive day. Chores, office, therapy. I’m grateful I cooked, decorated and bingewatched series. I’m grateful therapy helped me to sort my thoughts. I’m grateful I woke up with good energy allthough I had a restless night. I think we all feel the new moon, the cats are more active too. I’m grateful I did not feel lonely today. I’m grateful for cooking on the wood fired stove. Cozy warmth and a good meal :pray:
I’m grateful I ignore whatsapp when I don’t want to be disturbed. All the messages will still be there tomorrow. I’m grateful for ODAAT :pray:

I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and if I apply them to the best of my ability, as often as possible, life is better and easier.

May our higher powers give us hope.

p.s. Don’t quit before the miracle. Ya you!!

I’m grateful I’m about to go to bed and hooefully get a full 8 hours of sleep, which I haven’t had in several years; not since miss kitty stayed the night at the hospital.

I’m grateful hubs is now able and willing to give her meds and feed her at the times needed since he will be up anyway. I’m grateful that there is hope that these years of constant chronic sleep deprivation might be over.

I am grateful for that first coffee in the morning. The dark, creamy texture, the homely smell of comfort. It’s what makes me hop out of bed. I am grateful the workshop I hosted was a straight success and all the work I put in payed off. I am grateful this month is busy and I like to be at work with a whole bunch of great coworkers. It’s what makes me walk out the door at the moment. I am grateful it stopped raining. I am grateful I can walk to work and listen to music and podcasts to nurture my mind. I am grateful for the conscious choice to be gentle with myself and do what’s good for me. I am grateful for my friends kid and their really cute dimples, when they smile. I am grateful I can chose the people I want to be around.

Grateful for the cappuccinos she makes me in the afternoons. I’m grateful she’s perfected her art in making my cappuccino and my favorite color cup. I’m grateful I have a vessel for everything and it makes a difference to me.

I’m grateful to be back.
I’m grateful I took time to text Julie in London and now I got to wrap this up so I don’t blow it on my timing with my Benson walk and car drop off.

I’m grateful I’m never late and grateful I know I have a hard time budgeting my time. Especially while I’m on TS too much. But I love you guys and grateful you are always here for me.

I’m grateful for TS always.Thanks to you all, I have now reached a personal milestone, breaking my previous record of four months sober. That record was made seven years ago. I understand and accept the reasons why it took me another seven years to get here, and I’m grateful for that.
I’m grateful I can tell my wolfie voice to fuck off now. He doesn’t scare me anymore either.
I’m grateful for the warm weather streak lately. Hoping to get garlic planted.

Good morning.

I am grateful that my dad is alive.
I am grateful for his bedtime routine and his obsessive compulsive perfectionsim disorder. I am grateful that my mom found the warrior within her and stayed on the phone with 911 when he said he was ok. I am grateful we only had to wait for 45 mins for an ambulance two nights ago. I am grateful we have a good size hospital an hour away. I am grateful that his heart is healthy. I am grateful that he is getting the best care.

Life on life’s terms.

Life doesnt stop because you have to work, and get ready for Xmas markets every weekend starting this week. I am grateful I dont procrastinate. I am grateful everything is ready, I only need to make my signage. I am grateful that I woke up to a sale this morning that paid for the 3 tables I booked for Dec. I am grateful for the flow of money energy.

I am grateful that I have enough.

So grateful that your MRI results were clean :pray: I do hope the dizzy spells resolve themselves (sometimes the neck discs degeneration could cause dizziness - have they talked about rehab or injections?)

Keep on singing Charlie :notes: :heart:
