I’m grateful for my Cartapani coffee beans.
I’m grateful for my Moka.
I’m grateful to surrender each morning with my coffee and practice mindfulness and surrender to active addiction.
Great big beautiful Al-Anon speakers meeting last night I’m grateful for.
I’m grateful for her share on fear, gratitude and surrender. I’m grateful to bring that home, the daily surrender part, and have my daily coffee surrendering time each morning.
I’m grateful for my Cartapani coffee beans. Again. I’m grateful it’s not an Alzheimer’s moment. I got to learn the brand of that coffee. I’m grateful someone asked me about my Moka and what grind do I use. I’m grateful I didn’t beat myself up for forgetting. Again.
I’m grateful for the card that lots of Al-Anoners signed for me last night with some beautiful thoughts and well wishes. I’m grateful for this recovery bond I have
I’m grateful it’s a beautiful morning to get Benson out and get my day going.
I’m grateful I get to read @Cjp post later when I have time and not rush it. Happy 2’s

I’m grateful for pots of cardamom tea and warm naan. I’m grateful for my a good morning hike despite the rain and mud. I’m grateful for a relaxing morning followed by a very productive afternoon. I’m grateful for my friend S. I’m grateful that I am alive, sober and healthy. I’m grateful that camel milk is back in season and for my first batch of yogurt which will be ready in the morning! I’m grateful that I’ve not been having panic attacks the past few days and for having a relativly low level of anxiety.
Beginning today I am looking up angel numbers, so I can carry the importance all day. Gratitude. I need to give it weight.
Gratitude for my son’s art show in college, which I have missed ONCE against my desire. I am having my mother’s car and my mother - grateful for my car, tidbit that I cannot get it registered.
Gratitude for KNOWING that entrepreneurship is knocking hard on the door. If you saw my books, courses, internet history, you’d know why, It’s been a long time knocking.
I want to echo this
It feels good not being alone with this pattern. I need constant reminders that I CAN DO/THINK THINGS in other than usual/routine ways. There are no rules.
Today I’m again grateful for it, as I walked around on the farm in a housedress and a dressing gown to sort my thoughts. Suddenly it bite me that I the fuck have to wear work cloths to mow, I can just grab the mower and mow. Maybe this sounds weird but it’s these moments when I can literally FEEL myself evolving, growing out of my old life, habits and thinking patterns. And I’m grateful I put the grassy cloths in the laundry bin, not thinking “oh the dressing gown was freshly washed”. Yes it was and now it’s in the bin again after wearing it for 3 comfy, busy hours. So what? Thanks again to @Alisa who shared this inspiring story on the mental health thread Mental health memes and discussion (Part 3) - #650 by Alisa
It’s a holiday here today. I’m grateful for yummi brunch with fresh veggies and mushrooms and a delicious salad bowl for dinner. I’m grateful it was cloudy today, best weather for me to be outside. I’m grateful I strictly throw away seedlings that don’t grow well, things I don’t need anymore and broken stuff I will never repair. It’s a good feeling to not bother with things that don’t function or serve me.
I’m grateful I like my short, decent coloured nails. Garden work and looking neat does go along together when I put in some care . I’m grateful I have rest and time to take good care of me.
I’m grateful the old boy is nosy today, he hopped on and off my chest, nibbled on cloth and body, demands snuggles, he is so sweet I’m grateful I brushed the youngsters, Missi needed it badly.
I’m grateful I feel stable, content, serene and grateful today.
I’m grateful the wood stove makes the living room cozy and warm.
I’m grateful I abstained from codependent behaviour today.
I’m grateful for lovely calls and texts with friends and chosen family.

Thank you for this day
I am so very grateful for all the wonderful people here who offered kind words and emotional support for my situation with my ex, especially @CATMANCAM always looking out for me, @MrFantastik my friend from the other side of this globe, @Chevy55 whose words about doors closing and opening brought me some peace, @Danwood85 bringing light to me, and the wonderful @JazzyS who takes care of all of us here on a daily basis.
I am very grateful I woke up today with the attitude that life will be good. I‘ve got statistically speaking about 40 years left. And dude, everything can happen in 40 years , and the important stuff happens within a breath anyways.
I am grateful for my mother and her friends, always having a nice chat with the ladies. Grateful for my mom always, really always without even a moment’s break, being there for me, having been there for me now for almost 50years. What a streak that lady has going.
I am grateful for my Higher Power giving me today a calmer timer after yesterday’s storm.
I am grateful for my wonderful daughter helping me.
I am grateful I was able to work through my anger today by pushing my bike harder instead of trying to eat through it. This is so much better.
I am grateful I‘ve learned about a food journal. This is has been one of the most important tools in my recovery. I am very grateful I started my recovery journey before all hell broke loose at home. I really do not want to imagine how things would be, if I was still eating my trigger foods or trying to manage my life with food or other compulsive behaviours
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep thight sober friends

I am so grateful that I was able to do a 21 min workout session with my mom. Grateful that I joined May challenge (will need to tweak it to fit my body A’s capabilities) but so grateful to be moving again. I am not going to let the inflammation and pain stop me. ODAAT
I am so grateful that we got to do a lovely video chat with my cousin. I hate video phone calls but allow her to get away with it from time to time.
I am grateful that I was able to get some groceries done and am going to attempt a lovely garlic tofu stir fry for dinner
I am so grateful that my eye is feeling better today. Showing improvement so I was able to cancel the doctor appointment. I will continue to do my warm compress and triphala wash.
I am so grateful for my beautiful supportive family. Grateful my sister is home safely from her trip to Asia. Got to visit so many places in 10 days. Grateful we got many pics / videos and now the travel bug is alive and well in me
I am so grateful for spring. Grateful for new blooms and perfect weather. Hope we get this for a while before the summer heat kicks in

I’m grateful to finally have a sunny day after so many days of rain. I’m grateful for a productive morning and a relaxing afternoon with my friend reading books outside, chatting and having a good meal together. I’m grateful for chocolate and hazelnuts. I’m grateful for all my pets and animals. I’m grateful for a my new plant and for komuz. I’m grateful to be sober and safe.
I’m grateful that I told my coworkers last night that I’m not drinking anymore. Our boss was in town and took us out for dinner and cocktails and I ordered a mocktail. Grateful for mocktails. Grateful that I thought about this community and my help group, and heard my meditations, and had the strength to tell them I’m sober now. They were shocked. Grateful that my boss then spoke with me about the health benefits of not drinking and it was a great convo. Grateful for my son’s senior pictures, got them this week and they capture his JOY!!
Thank you for this day
I am grateful for the thunder and rain today. My daughter and I were out for a walk and the dark clouds kept advancing and the thunder rolling. We got caught in the first rain drops and were safe home when the big storm hit. I am grateful I could enjoy the weather from inside my home and grateful the rain washed down all the pollen and filled our water barrels.
I am grateful I could take a nap when that weather change hit and grateful I could drink extra strong coffee, both to prevent a migraine. Grateful we have meds that helped with my daughter’s headaches.
I am grateful I got some work done today, although I have to admit that my mind was not too sharp and I really don‘t think I was honestly productive. But I am grateful I can work and grateful I can let a day like today be.
I am grateful for yoga and being able to get through the session even when intense emotions beset me.
I am grateful I don‘t mind resetting my overeating counters, grateful I care more about discovering my own patterns and my relationship with food than numbers on a counter. I also am very grateful I feel safe to share these patterns, feelings and thoughts here. This is the foundation of recovery.
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
I am grateful for going outside in the evening, in public and making myself face all the fears I had.
I’m grateful that my journey outside had a destination, Recovery Dharma. I’m grateful for the people I met this evening.
I’m grateful I went.
I’m grateful for the feeling I have right now. I’m grateful for the first meditation this evening its been over a year.
I’m grateful for group meditation.
I’m grateful I get to spend this summer getting back in to peace and be just with life.
Im grateful to feel so grateful I can’t put what I’m trying to say into words. It just feels so good and eye opening and a sense of achievement.
Grateful to be more involved and be looking after myself better.
Grateful for my few but loyal friends who have reached out to me during my recovery from hip surgery. So grateful I have a home relaxing and spacious to recover in. God is showing his blessings every day
