Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

Every :clap: Single :clap: Day :clap: I’m grateful to be off sigarettes and nic gum. Booze too ofcourse, but I found quiting nicotine freaking hard. Grateful that the physical withdrawal is over.

Grateful for my morning routine, rising early and gym at 7. I start to crave it, early mornings are so peaceful :sunrise:
Grateful to spend the first half of the day with friends and the other half by my own. The perfect balance for me.

I am grateful for sunny, relaxed days like this.
Grateful to have a heartbeat and experience all this life stuff.

I’m feeling so ungrateful today, it’s terrible! I didn’t sleep so my day is off. BUT, I know I can do one. Grateful for six weeks of sobriety. Nothing is more important than that. I wish it didn’t take so long to even out. But even when you don’t feel it, you’re healing.

Great work on your 6+ weeks of sobriety and all the healing you are doing. :hugs:

Thank you Jasmine. It just takes one to start turning it around! What I’m feeling doesn’t always match up with reality. I have to change my actions and reactions to withstand all conditions, sober. This is a great way to start. Start the day over. Thank you

@laner what is it that you teach? I am still in awe about where you live. I started looking into Yurt living. LOL

I give cooking lessons to teenagers and young adults with a big focus on nutrition. Ha yurt living is pretty great! This is a great place to live. I moved here about 9 years ago and really settled into local ways.

Oh how lovely. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. I can totally see the appeal.

Was a mechanical engineer then a baker and now working on my health (I do take care of the accounting for a few businesses and grateful to help out when my body allows with my families restaurant business).

Hey everyone! Today I am grateful for another day sober! I made it to day 200.
We had our bedroom painted over the last couple days, finally got everything put back in. Glad that’s over!
Today I got my hair colored and trimmed, cleaned the bathrooms, and finished the laundry. Tomorrow we have our 1 year old grandson for the day. “Mom and dad, and older brothers have a baseball tournament.”. I’ll be wiped out after that. Hope you all have a great weekend! :star2::rainbow:

I’m grateful for a night of live comedy this evening. It felt so good to laugh.
I’m grateful my daughter is at a sleepover. Ata friends house. It makes me so happy as she is so isolated with not being in school and is missing out on a lot.
I’m grateful we have been given free tickets to an Underworld gig tomorrow. So hoping my body doesn’t fail me and I can make it there :pray:
I’m grateful for a weekend stretching out ahead of me with no plans in there to ruin it with hangovers.
