Good morning

I am grateful to have this one last morning of holiday with my kiddo. The last leg of our travels home today. I am grateful we landed safely in vancouver late last night and that my new truckie (Raven) was kept safe at the hotel while we were in Hawaii. I am grateful that we have some time to wake up before our ferry back to our beautiful island. And I am so excited to see Nugs, this is the longest I have ever left her for. Shes going to be so pissed off!

I am grateful that my sponsees kept in touch with me “just enough” while I was away. I am looking forward to hearing how everyones weeks went. I am grateful my body held out for a week without yoga, she is starting to scream so I am grateful I am home and able to start my classes again. Routine is so important to me. I may have what seems like an unmanagble schedule to most people but to me it is managable because it is routine.  
I am grateful that I am neurodiverse.

I am grateful for the extra time I have had to spend on the forum again it was nice to catch up here and there. To read a bit on some threads and to be able to post my gratitude here over my holidays. I am grateful to see so many new faces, especially on this thread. Gratitude changed my life in a massive way. It quietened the evil, negative chatter to a nothing; replacing it with love and positivity.  
Its magic. 💫

Happy to see so many people doing so well, love yous.  
✨🤍✨

Thank you for this day 🙏  
I am grateful for all the wonderful people that grace my life every day. Everyone around here, my family, friends, people in Dharma Recovery I met yesterday, people at school, so many wonderful beings. And through my recovery journey and this heaven of a place I learned that the ONLY way to go is to share. Thank you TS family 🥲  
I am grateful for designing and modeling and diagramming and loosing myself in abstract constructions. Grateful for tears in my breakfast. Grateful for rain, asthma meds.  
Grateful for yoga and walks and a walkable city where I live. A life where I don‘t have to use a car on a daily basis, where I can get everywhere through the means of my wonderful body.  
I am grateful for this day.  
Sleep well sober friends 🌃

Day 109 and grateful I am forcing myself to read this:

 ![20240416_140556](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/7/2/c/72cc3b31cc97c241d5aace4b4c9e31fa11da9d67.jpeg)

I don’t remember much of what I read AND grateful I have decided that much I am missing can help to put me in the right direction.

I’m grateful even though I only got a little over 3 hours sleep last night I’m up and ready to move.  
I’m grateful for Italian coffee. I’m grateful and confident ordering my coffee in Italian in the morning now.  
I’m grateful for Italian coffee.  
Not so much after dinner 😬  
I’m grateful I don’t think I’ll ever have to or need to eat meat again.  
I’m grateful for the butcher restaurant experience.  
I’m grateful for the lovely passionate Italians we’ve met on our journey. I’m grateful I just remembered I should say Tuscans for where I am at. Not Italians. I’m grateful it’s a thing.  
I’m grateful our 2 tour guides are so passionate about their Tuscan history and they are just terrific.  
🙏🏻❤

Laying awake at 3 in the morning for the past few nights is taking a toll. My mood is a bit meeh today, so time for extra gratitude: I am grateful for

my coworkers, who make me laugh every day  
good coffee in the morning  
the second gray hair on my head  
the opportunity to work from home  
all the money I saved by not drinking and smoking  
my body/my temple  
my kitchen radio and the french song it is playing just now  
hot water when I open the tap  
the luxury of living in one of the richest countries in the world.  
the rustling sound the wind makes in the trees  
more patience with myself  
acceptance.

I’m grateful for ginger and lemon tea. I’m grateful for my neighbor who refilled all my buckets of water and brought me soup to have for dinner. And for my friend who helped with the milking this morning and stayed a bit to entertain me.

Today is my youngest’s 18th birthday, and I’m so grateful for him. So grateful I’m sober to celebrate this milestone with him. Here’s an old pic of us that seems like it was taken months, not over a decade, ago. Grateful for his hugs that he gives freely, even today.

Thank you for this day 🙏  
I am grateful I have the suspicion my mood, cravings and whatnot are due to a wrong hormonal dosage and can change that tomorrow.  
I am grateful my daughter is doing well at school and we had a good parent-teacher-meeting today. Grateful she can work on some self directed projects instead of being bored in class.  
I am grateful during my groceries run on my bike there was no rain and I stayed dry.  
I am grateful I had a nice chat with my mum. Grateful she is around, helps so much, is there for me and my daughter, takes an active part in my daughter’s life. I am grateful I have these wonderful memories of my grandmothers and how they impacted me and helped shape the person I have become. Very grateful I could grow up like that.  
I am grateful for my work, even if I got sucked into details today which also is usually a symptom of hormones challenging my mental capacity.  
I am grateful for moon yoga and a relaxing breath meditation.  
I am grateful for children‘s play and their ideas and enthusiasm.  
I am grateful for my asthma meds and all the rain washing away all that pollen.  
I am grateful my friend is recovering from pneumonia.  
I am grateful I have access to a car sharing system with cars located nearby, so I can get a car when I want to visit friends living in more remote areas.  
I am grateful I can look forward to meeting another friend tomorrow for breakfast and coffee.  
I am grateful for a nice nap.  
I am grateful that through this practice of gratitude I developed a wonderful antidote to difficult mood swings and bothering thoughts. I remember when I used to wreck my brain to come up with five things to be grateful for. I am grateful I don‘t need to do that anymore.  
I am grateful for the beauty of the huge tree branch that is lying in our garden at the moment. Seeing the foliage and wood from close up makes me very happy.  
I am grateful for a relaxing evening and bedtime soon.  
I am grateful for this day.  
Sleep tight sober friends 🌃

Grateful for a beautiful wide view of the sky today. I normally am surrounded by high buildings, but I’m staying near the coast at the moment. Grateful I’m starting to let go of the city life. I prefer nature more and more and I see myself moving out of the city in the near future.

Grateful today’s training went well. There was some tension among collegues but I’m grateful we could nip an escalation in the butt.  
Grateful for a nice diner, a cozy evening and a nice hotel room. One more training day tomorrow before the weekend starts.  
I’m grateful for not drinking with colleagues anymore. I don’t mind if they drink, I just don’t want to. Grateful I’m in my room early and will wake up without a foggy head.
