I’m grateful I get to have minor headaches that aren’t from drinking or too much sugar and chocolate but they can FRO!

I’m grateful I got to wake up without a headache. I’m grateful I get to let Benson out and go out with him every morning even when it’s freezing or too hot outside.

I’m grateful I got to have Alice on my lap for a bit. I’m grateful after she got off I got to have Mavy fill in nicely for her.
I’m grateful I get to listen to music whenever I want. I’m grateful I get to be in silence sometimes and I get to be with myself.

I’m grateful I get to listen to my serenity prayer meditation every morning. I’m grateful I get to learn that my survival brain is taking over this morning as it’s going to be a moist evening :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I’m grateful I’m learning my survival brain acts on fear and judgment trying to protect me. I’m grateful I get to learn I am so much more judgmental of people than I ever thought I was. I’m grateful I get to learn that criticizing others behavior and wanting them to change is fucking judgmental. I’m grateful I get to learn trying to change someone is pointless. It can’t be done.

I’m grateful I got to welcome 2 new people at my Al-Anon meeting last night and I’m sorry about the circumstances that brought them here. I’m grateful I get to enjoy welcoming them and giving them a serenity pen and a meeting list of meetings I like to go to. I’m grateful I get to share my experience strength and hope. I’m grateful I get to embrace both my recoveries.

I’m grateful I get to share here with y’all.

Gratitude Abundance Serenity
GAS :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

The combination of living in gratitude and believing in abundance puts the mind, soul, and body in a serene state of existence. Serenity is the natural state of humanity.

Whatever…. Sounded good to me.

I’m extremely grateful my moods stabilised and I found serenity again. The moment I realise depression and anxiety lift is so precious.
With that my energy levels rose and I am grateful I was able to do my Yoga practice. I feel strong and so focused. Man I’m so happy :grin:

I’m grateful for my time with the kids at school today. They are a great bunch and always come up with great ideas.

I’m grateful my child is better, and can hopefully go back to school in a few days.

I’m grateful my food cravings have lessened and I feel peace.

I’m here! Grateful I’m at 6 months! Lots of great milestones here. People are crushing it left and right! So grateful to be a participant in this collective journey!
I’m grateful I asked my husband to go upstairs to watch TV so I could practice my piano . I actually stated a need and it was respected! Wow!! I’m grateful I’m learning to take time to do what I love instead of putting me second and doing more chores. Balance…
I’m grateful for chocolate chips. I can savor one at a time to moderate my intake, rather than wolfing down Hershey minis like there’s no tomorrow😜
I’m grateful the MOIST fun went to a vote and even better ideas showed up.
I’m grateful for the fun we have together, and the way we can support each other.
This place just ROCKS… or should I say R. O. C. K. S. ? Oh no,…

I am grateful that I am alive.

Even though my job has let me go, due to inability to be up on my feet and think endlessly, it’s snowing today at my new acreage! I didn’t have to go anywhere and the wild turkeys were having a nice little outdoor party. I am grateful to watch them and the deer.

Nothing is wrong with 10 acres, even as a rental!

Gratitude all day, my people!

While I miss my forever arm candy while he’s away, I’m grateful that I got to make the bed before I left the bedroom for the morning. :laughing: I wake up four hours earlier than him, so it’s midway through my morning before I get the bed made.

I’m also grateful for such a thoughtful husband. He gave me this little baggie of origami stars before he left, each with a little note written inside so that I could open them through the week.

Picture under tab

I am also grateful that I slept pretty well last night all things considered. I reduced my OTC sleep aid dose in half again last night and this will be the last before ending its use completely. I also don’t feel completely worn out like I haven’t slept at all, which is a huge win and I’m very grateful for that.


@Pattycake Congrats on your six months! Great work on stating your need and getting a positive response too.

You did and I’m still judging you. :rofl: :wink: Snow is very beautiful though! Congrats on your eighteen months!

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.
