Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #5

I’m grateful I forced myself to start my day; well, eventually start my day with a morning meditation. I’m grateful even though it was longer than I wanted it worked. I’m grateful it was more work during a meditation in the morning than I wanted, and it was worth it. I grateful I cried. I’m grateful I must have had some deep emotions just dying to come out. I’m grateful it made me feel better after.

Wednesday morning gratitude’s
I am so grateful for getting some sleep last night. Enough to have me energized to get up on time this morning. Grateful that i got to spend time with my mom before heading into work.
I am so grateful that i was able to help out for half a day at the restaurant. I am so grateful for my super hero father. He really has stepped it up while my mom and brother are recovering.
I am so grateful that next week we will only have to deal with the deliveries as the restaurant will be closed and we do not have any hospital cafe shifts.
I am so grateful that i am home now and in bed. Able to rest and deal with my symptoms. Grateful that nothing got in the way of me being helpful today.
I am so grateful that i have my treatment tomorrow late afternoon. Actually looking forward to it.
I am so grateful that i just realized that my 1 year soberversary will fall on the Winter Solstice.
I am so grateful that I am holding my own and not having any milestone anxiety. Hard to believe the condition i was in last year at this time. How far i have come yet it almost feels like it wasn’t that long ago.
I am so grateful for my new water dental flosser pick. Really feel like it helps keep my mouth clean.
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer practices. Grateful for the sanity they provide and how the practice helps ground and center me.
I am so grateful for my family. Grateful that my sister reminded me that we have other 2nd cousins that would feel left out if they did not receive letters so now we are hand writing a few more letters and hoping they arrive before the end of the year. I do remember the excitement of receiving a hand written letter when i was younger - hope they have the same joy.
I am so grateful for TS community and counter app. :hugs:
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day. Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful I managed to get out of bed and do my morning routine with yoga and meditation instead of wailing in more self pity. It did me good, lifted my mood, made me refocus.
I’m grateful for the trip I took with my daughter. We spent some really nice mother daughter time.
I’m grateful for the nice walk. The lights in the city were so nice.
I’m grateful for realising that nothing will make my awful hormone induced mood go away, and I might as well keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I’m grateful for my understanding husband.

Thursday morning gratefulness with my sober friends :people_hugging:
I am so grateful for a beautiful morning start. Woke up before my alarm (wanted more sleep but gratefully got up and moving).
I am so grateful that i will be able to go see my mom before heading into work this morning.
I am so grateful that I will go in for my weekly treatment tonight. I always feel better after having it done. I am becoming more hopeful that i will see some positive results by the end of January.
I am so grateful for hitting my 1 year of sobriety today. 1 year of being free of all my addictions, of living a healthier life being more mindful of my interior as well as my exterior. Grateful for the support from my family and this community to get me to this point. Truely can not do this alone. Grateful for the tools that i have gathered along the way to help keep me trekking. This is a life long journey and i plan on having a long and healthy life.
I am so grateful for the break we are about to get next week from the restaurant and hospital. Grateful that we can do the prep and deliveries on our own time. No need to rush anything.
I am so grateful that i was able to dye my hair and give myself a manicure last night. The house is clean and no pressing chores need to be done. This is my minds way of enjoying my special day - being free of all responsibility LOL. I will go in and help out today at the restaurant but that will be fun. I will be able to set my pace and do the behind the scenes work so no interactions with customers which I am so grateful for as i find that it draining for me at this time.
I am so grateful for a warm December day. I was hoping to go for a walk and listen to some tunes today but alas i don’t know if that is in the cards for today.
I am so grateful for my HP. I know that i would not have gotten this far without Him. Grateful for my meditation/ prayer practices that keep me connected to Him.
I am so grateful for taking it ODAAT! learning to live life on life’s terms. Learning to accept my flaws and work on them with gentleness as we are human and forever growing.
I am so grateful for ALL OF YOU! thank you for being a part of my journey. Grateful for the support direct and indirect that i receive daily from this community.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day. Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful for music and that I am able to hear so that I can enjoy music.

I’m grateful I live 500 miles away from my family, especially during this special time of the year.

I’m grateful my ex-girlfriend is my ex-girlfriend and that a year ago I told her I don’t want to still be friends with her. I’m grateful that if we see each other in passing, we both say hi and go on our ways without any awkward discomfort–at least on my end.


@Cjp king sized beds are the best!
@JazzyS hand written letters are still the best to receive. One year is amazing. Great work! So many congratulations!
