A lovely Wednesday morning to all you beautiful sober souls!
I am so grateful for the crisp air today. The sun is shining and I feel Autum all around me.
I am so grateful that I am feeling a bit more like myself today.
I am so grateful that I found my damn US passport in the nick of time literally yesterday and was able to spend the day with my fam in Windsor. We took a stroll past our old restaurant which has not been converted back into apartments. So much has changed that the city is almost unrecognizable. Grateful that it was my dadā€™s bday and we got to spend it together (we were minus a fam member as my sis had to work).
I am so grateful that I am planning a game night - iā€™m feeling like I can handle it and i want to socialize.
WOOT WOOT 500 days for CJ - so grateful to be on this journey with you :tada:
I am so grateful for my PT this afternoon - have someone different working on my back so I do hope everything goes smoothly. :crossed_fingers:
I am so grateful that for my HP and my need to repair my connection with Him - the past few weeks Iā€™ve drifted and my daily practices have not been enough. I find that when Iā€™m not well then I canā€™t reach out and connect. Grateful to be feeling better and able to work on repairing this connection today.
I am so grateful for having a good Tim Hortons coffee yesterday. Grateful that the first sip took me back to my smoking days and i had a split second craving - i was in the car with fam so did not act on it but good to know that my mind still needs to break connections with triggers and urges. I try not to compare how far I managed last time (as that was many decades ago) but I am coming up on my 2 year of cig free in a few months and its scary to remember how absentmindedly i picked up the habit back then on my 2 year quit date. It will not be a repeat performance.
I am so grateful for this community and all of you :pray: Helping me daily to reinforce my path for a addiction free lifestyle.

Hoping you all have a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all much love :heart: :heart:

Iā€™m grateful for a nice cool walk with Benson this morning. Finally. Iā€™m grateful all the rain and storms last night cooled us down a bit. Iā€™m grateful for the desert sunsets and sunrises every day. Iā€™m grateful I even pulled over, on the way to my meeting yesterday eve, to get a nice pic. Iā€™m grateful for the wonders of the desert. Iā€™m grateful I havenā€™t hit a suicidal gamble quail with my car yet. Grateful I havenā€™t gotten rear ended when I jam on the breaks.

Iā€™m grateful one of the leaders in my group last night, just threw me the keys to the church and told me she isnā€™t going to be here to open up next week.

Iā€™m grateful my friend John enjoyed his lunch with me and asked if we could do it again. Iā€™m grateful I just said yes. And left it at that as I didnā€™t want to commit right then to a time and date. Iā€™m grateful there was an awkward silence and thatā€™s ok and we continued chatting with another gentleman, the 3 of us.

Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t call my Cali real estate agent when he never called me yesterday like he said he would. Iā€™m grateful if I donā€™t try and call him today. Iā€™m grateful I told my wife Iā€™ll wait until next week to call him back if he doesnā€™t call us. And she said youā€™ll never make it! :laughing: Game on! Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m trying real hard to slow down.

Iā€™m grateful I checked the French doors in the spare room after the rain and itā€™s dry! I didnā€™t want to check because I hate leaks. And hoping itā€™s not leaking would drive me crazy.

Iā€™m grateful we are going to the dentist today, together, and out to lunch after. Iā€™m grateful for more fun times with the wife. Iā€™m grateful weā€™re living the dream.

Iā€™m so very fucking grateful for the sober time Iā€™m getting with my wife. Today. Currently. ODAAT.

Grateful for gratidudes! :blush:

Again too tired to catch up.

Today Iā€™m grateful for sleeping in. Iā€™m grateful the cats eat well and are happy. Iā€™m grateful I did kitchen chores. Iā€™m grateful I had enough food for today in the fridge. Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t need much. Iā€™m grateful I could settle an overdue payment my ex didnā€™t inform me nor paid it. He said he never got the bills.

Iā€™m grateful he called me back and I could go through most of my list with him allthough he was at the airport heading to Ireland. Iā€™m grateful the emotional outburst afterwards calmed down quickly. Iā€™m grateful I have minimum a week to prepare for a in person meeting. I have to work on myself.

Iā€™m grateful for group therapy. It was interesting and helpful. Iā€™m grateful I stay in town over night, I have a bad headache due to weather change and Iā€™m really tired. Iā€™m grateful for my cozy house and the comfy bed here.
Iā€™m grateful I came home before storm and rain set in. Iā€™m grateful itā€™s ok to feel a bit uneasy at the moment. This lifechange has a demanding logistic I have to get used to again, it takes time to re-develop efficient routines. Babysteps. ODAAT :pray:

Good evening. :sparkles:

I went to an outdoor pranayama class last night which was a different experience. I wasnt sure how it would go, how I would stay focused on my breathing and go inward while chickens and peacocks foraged around me. I am grateful that I managed to stay open-minded and just let go. I had such a massive emotional release last night it was intense. I am grateful for the coach who help guide the shit out of me. I am grateful she was smudging me and cleansing me as I experienced my second ā€œexorcismā€ in pranayama. I am grateful that darkness left me and that during my final meditation I had the sensation I was upright, like I was standing, maybe floating. I am grateful I slept well and felt like I could breathe easier this morning.

I went and had my tea leaves read by a medium a couple of weeks ago, her readings were spoton. I am grateful for the extra bit of confidence she gave my kiddo and I in regards to our paths. I am grateful we are both listening to our hearts.

Im grateful for what i believe is my higher power gently pushing me to work on my rejection and self esteem issues

Checking in with some early morning gratitude.

Iā€™m grateful for flexibility at work. I know I mention this one a lot. My baby girl called saying her bus was at the location 2 hours early and I had to get there right away. Wtf? Iā€™m 45 minutes away. No one at the program thought to tell me they were having their staff picnic and sending everyone home early. Iā€™m grateful her bus driver is such a nice man. Iā€™m grateful he waited patiently and they were rocking out to some loud music when I finally arrived. Iā€™m grateful a teammate jumped on a virtual meeting in my place while I hauled ass out of there.

Iā€™m grateful my new office mate and I are getting along. Iā€™m grateful she doesnā€™t talk a lot while weā€™re working. Iā€™m grateful we chat briefly first thing and then carry on with our day separately. Iā€™m grateful sheā€™s respectful of my time and sends meeting invites to go over her questions all at once rather than interupting me multiple times throughout the day.

Iā€™m grateful I got my hair cut and colored. Iā€™m grateful the salon is located in the same office building. Iā€™m grateful my boss lets me go on company time. Getting paid while getting my hair done is a nice perk.

Iā€™m grateful for all of you here on TS. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. :heartpulse:

WOW ā€“ grateful for this. How amazing to be opening yourself up to new experiences that are helping you release and grow. I love that you and your daughter went for tea leaf reading ā€“ I had forgotten how lovely that experience can be. Will need to find someone local that can do this.
@starlight14 I do hope that starting the day with gratitude helped you today. Much love to you Kelly ā€“ I am also grateful that you could be there for this girl ā€“ you are always so kind and ready to help.
@lisa07 Good lord ā€“ Yeah ā€“ I would be besides myself if that had happened. Glad you handled it so well and grateful for the bus driver. Always love a new look ā€“ about to dye my hair today.
@tailee17 2 months today my friend!!! you are rocking it everyday. Love being on this beautiful journey with you :heart: :muscle:

Pre-Friday gratitudeā€™s - celebrating this beautiful day with all you gorgeous souls :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I am so grateful that I am awake and have another day to work on myself.
I am so grateful that i am seeing some changes and healing - ODAAFT!
I am so grateful that I was able to talk with my aunt for an hour last night (she is not feeling so hot). I have forgiven and made peace with the past. I had thought I did but it was reinforced that i could hold a not forced conversation and actually enjoy it.
I am so grateful that I have so much happening right now (all for bettering my health) and I am able to financially take care of it. I am so grateful to know that it could have been much worse if I had continued to live with my sickly habits.
I am so grateful that I am going to try and make an appointment for my tooth that has been a bit overly sensitive lately. I may even ask for a new mouth guard to be made.
I am so grateful that I have decided to go ahead and get my mammogram done - the gyno i went to was total rubbish and rude as all hell. she put in a referral for a mammogram on my visit and did not tell me about it - well, looking into it - it makes sense to do it now but really bitch - learn some etiquette
I am so grateful that @Cjp is starting to feel better this morning
I am so grateful for my family, my meditation and prayer, my connection to my HP.
I am so grateful that I did breakdown and get shoes for wearing inside the house. Man the cushion support is really helping relieve my foot pain. I like these but not 100% so will be returning them today and have another pair coming tomorrow. I do hate shopping and hate returning things even more- hope this is it and I find my perfect fit.
I am so grateful that everything is manageable today! With the autumn coolness in the air - i feel alive and super giddy. The sun is shining bright but not piercing ā€“ its a perfect morning :sun_with_face:
I am so grateful for adding a pinch of pumpkin spice to my morning coffee ā€“ heavenly :yum: - sorry Eric
I am so grateful that I have a full day planned ahead and I feel confident that I can manage it all!
I am so grateful for this community. Love all the gratitudeā€™s and check inā€™s! SOOO many souls to connect to. Love you all and hoping that you all have a wonderful addiction free day / night ā€“ sending so much love :heart: :heart:
