A grateful Good morning friends.
Y’all heard of Thirsty Thursday and Taco Tuesdays. Wait for it…………
I’m grateful I survived Moist Monday :scream:
I’m grateful I knew my brain was in survival mode most of the day. I’m grateful my survival brain mode of judgment and fear got me happily to a meeting. I’m grateful I got to share at the meeting. I’m grateful someone mentioned my share from last Thursday and loved it. I’m grateful I barely had time to say anything last Thursday since I was one of the last to share before we ran out of time. I’m grateful I hung out with the new comers yesterday even though I imagined wifey at home chomping at the bit waiting for me to take her to dinner. She wasn’t! I’m grateful I stepped 3’d my ass home late from the meeting. I’m grateful to realize the last 3 years of her getting trashed just might take me awhile to get over now that I am having glimpses of sober togetherness with her. I’m grateful we are having tons of sober togetherness and I’m grateful for that.

I’m grateful I complimented one of the nice ladies on her blazing cute pink hiking boots, at the meeting, and I got to enjoyed her smile. And I just think it’s so cool the waiter last night complimented me on my green beanie and that made me smile. He would have got a good tip anyway :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I’m grateful maybe what goes around comes around.

I’m grateful for Alice’s purring life force on my lap during my morning affirmation meditation this morning. I’m grateful I realized maybe she stays on my lap longer when I sit here petting her. Usually she doesn’t stay long.

I’m grateful I got to wake up to Daisy on my chest. I’m grateful I was already awake and felt her sneaking up on me for a purrs and biscuits.

I’m grateful I get to talk to my therapist today.
I’m grateful I get to go to another meeting tonight. I’m grateful I got a plan to get BBQ with John again. I’m grateful for my sponsor. I’m grateful he suggests coffee during the week and then he leaves it up to me.

I’m grateful I get to be working on my fears in step 4. I’m grateful my sponsor doesn’t hassle me about step 4. I’m grateful I get to do step 4 at my own pace.

I’m grateful I can bundle up and get a good cold freezing sunny walk in with my Sancho Panza. I’m grateful it will be at a good pace.

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
– Proverb

Gratitude practice has been scientificallyproven to create lasting positive effects on your brain.

Psychologically, the feeling of gratitudeproduces feelings of well-being by producing happy hormones, and physically byreducing blood pressure and promoting better sleep. Other studies on gratitudehave found that simply writing a few sentences about what you are grateful fordaily can result in fewer visits to the doctor.

I am grateful to see people coming back here after a relapse (like me), to see them not giving up on sobriety :heart:
I am grateful for all the thoughful posts here, on sobriety or other parts of life.

I am grateful for central heating. Also grateful my colleague came to work at my house, so I didn’t need to travel to the office to have our meeting :smirk:
I am grateful I finished a big part of my work to do’s.

I am grateful for the long conversation with my mom this afternoon, listening to her worries and sadness about her progressing dementia. My heart breaks for her but I am glad I can be there for her. We talked about her illness, but also her younger years, lost family and life in general. I talked to her about my sobriety and how well I’m doing. I am grateful she had a good day, she was clear minded. Our talk started a bit sad, but I’m grateful it ended with a smile.

@eph-M-eral , HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on 18 Fokking MONTHs!! I’d absolutely be broke if I had a swear jar around, inherited my potty mouth from my mom who could swear like a sailor. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
Thanks for recognizing my little milestone too!
Thanks also to @Chiron , @Dazercat and @Sunflower1 for cheering me on.
I’m so damn grateful for this community. Love you to pieces.:heart:
Slept in late after restless mind kept me up last night. Grateful I got some sleep eventually.
Grateful for the snowy day and hope it sticks around so I can finally get out for a ski or snowshoe.
Grateful I don’t know how to use the snowblower, but I can shovel and will happily do my part.

I’m so happy that you got that time for a heart to heart with your mom. Difficult conversations filled with uncomfortability are usually the most rewarding or healing.

All the best in your journey through this.

Grateful to have this spot to keep me aware of goodness I forget,
no guilt for going back to bed after a very restless sleep,
loving our new primary doctor’s compassion and no hurriedness,
keeping with healthier food choices and getting my gut happier
and another day in the sober bank!
@Chiron starry love notes!!! :eight_spoked_asterisk:
