My mind seems a bit calmer this morning, yay low racing thoughts

In love with hubby, communication does wonders

Hoping to hear back from Subaru of America today on if they’ll grant me an exception and save us $2300 on this stupid transmission
Usually i have regular transportation, and this absence of the convenience makes me appreciate it more
Taking a rest day from the gym, and not feeling guilty atm

This fantastic place and everyone doing their best at this sobriety thing
The newcomer that reminds me of my despair due to addiction
I’m grateful it’s only a slight headache this morning.
I’m grateful for the nap me and Mavy had after the workers and Anthony Hopkins left. I’m grateful how Maverick was plastered up against my face. Purring and so warm. I’m grateful he makes the new couch look good.
I’m grateful for Goodwill.
I’m grateful to be sober when I get terrible service at a restaurant and I’m not Jonesing For My Drink! I’m grateful we just sat there and waited. And chatted. And waited. And chatted. And waited some more………I’m so grateful my body wasn’t SCREAMING FOR MY DRINK!!
I’m grateful this is our last move. Seriously
I’m grateful the plumbing company I called yesterday seemed very professional on the phone and they did have a plumber call me back right away to schedule like she said they would.
I’m grateful I looked up and paused to watch Mavy slowly lick his paw and wash behind his ear. I’m grateful to watch him take a bath on his new couch. I’m grateful he’s been so lovable on me even more than usual. I’m grateful Daisy is at my feet. I’m grateful Old Alice made it to her final home and is doing well too. I’m grateful B enjoys meeting the workers and they don’t seem to mind meeting her. I’m grateful Benson and I love our new hood. And ya… I got to admit…. Not sure if it’s gratitude, but, Benson walks real slowly when wifey takes him without me looking back for daddy. And they generally cut the walk short because he’s a pain in the ass and he hauls his ass home when they turn around I’m grateful Alice is up and fed and on my lap purring.
I’m grateful I missed my 2 year Al-Anon anniversary the other day. Just been too busy. I’m grateful things are good on my end because I’m too busy to find a meeting. I’m grateful I’ll get to one when I get to one. Hopefully before I need one.
I’m grateful for the marine layer almost every morning so far and grateful most days it burns off mostly and it stays cool around here.
Grateful for y’all
What we know
matters, but
who we are matters more.

I’m grateful for an enthusiastic greeting from Mop when I came home today. I’m grateful for a good ride on the horse today it was peaceful and riding for so long helps me stay present. I’m grateful for the light snow during my ride down. I’m grateful for sitting by the warm fire tonight during this chilly evening. I’m grateful for Leila laying down next to me. I’m grateful for my neighbor bringing me water earlier so I wouldn’t have to refill them in the dark. I’m grateful for my friend S and that we can talk but also enjoy each others company in silence sometimes. I’m grateful to be sober.
I sit here very calm, emotionally drained to the point of being exhausted. But not angry and not urging. I am grateful for…
All of you helping me through my drama today. Putting different aspects into perspective for me. Encouraging me to turn around the day (it’s only noon). I’m in reset mode. I had my shower and prayed. I’m going to live in my own bubble today, focusing on what I need to get done. A few checked boxes I think can help get me to where I need to be.
Thank you everyone that commented on the “May Relapse” thread. Thank you everyone that reached out @tailee17@Button83@JazzyS
I’m grateful for podcasts.
I’m grateful that my car is now paid off.
I’m grateful that my children are so independent. I’m grateful that I miss them when they’re gone.
Thank you for this day
I am grateful for all the sun and rain today and my covered balcony where I can spend my time enjoying the sun or listening to the rain.
I am grateful I was able to work on my prototype today and all the insights I got from that work.
I am grateful for podcasts and music.
I am grateful for good food.
I am grateful my daughter spend her day with a friend and grateful my mum took her to ballet lessons.
I am grateful I bought the train tickets for my trip to Rotterdam next month. Now I‘m all set with transport and a place to stay for six days.
I am grateful I can spend the evening in peace and quiet.
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends
Today I’m grateful for a slow day. For a long talk with a friend. For the fact that I can do whatever I want. For a helpful therapy session. For escaping the long weekend traffic on a not so busy route. For being missed by my downtown neighbours. For the professionals who mow one of my properties. For still being fucking proud of myself. For cat cuddles galore. For leftovers. For lots of tea. For feeling peaceful and content. For a nap. For living alone and ignoring housework. For doing a little bit of housework. For lounging comfy on the couch and bingewatching series. For feeling safe. For enjoying the sunshine. For drinking water from the tap. For my blankie.

I am grateful I can feel the shift in my recovery. Today I am working on different things then I was two years ago. I am grateful for the reminder to stop and have a look back and appreciate the path. I am grateful I can see the foundation I built over the past two years. Anchoring myself and let the tides of life come and go. I am grateful for the kindness in people. I am grateful I am chosing the right company. I am grateful that today I hold no grudge towards the harm that’s been done in the past. I am grateful to only be fully responsible for myself.
@SKhan not letting outside drama affect his sobriety and leaning on this community for back up

I’m grateful for the trauma workbook I’ve been going through. I’m grateful that I could get together with my neighbor friends today to work on my rug we’re making good progress. I’m grateful that my expenses are less expensive here and that I usually don’t need to work about finances. I know things will work out…I’m grateful for my dogs and animals.
I’m grateful for the new people on TS that are working their asses off to not pick up their DOC. I’m grateful it helps me to stay sober and reenforces that I need to find and get my ass to an AA meeting soon. Real fucking soon.
I’m grateful the HVAC guys will not be working in the house today and the cats don’t have to be locked up in a room for hours. I’m grateful they are still working. Showing up early every day. Leaving early every day and it’s gonna get done when it gets done.
I’m grateful for the recycling center in Camarillo I was able to bring down a bunch of boxes yesterday. I’m grateful 2 weeks in today and the place is mostly cleared out of boxes. I’m kicking ass! I’m grateful my on line furniture supplier, wifey, is kicking ass too and the place is starting to take shape. I’m grateful for the OMG chairs on the patio and the patio table look perfect. I’m grateful for the 2 baby Adirondack chairs that I will assemble for my grandchildren to use. I’m grateful wifey has been persistent in getting the Dallas contingent out here and Gus and Norma will be hanging out here for a couple of weeks in July. I’m grateful to let go of the stress and figuring out the logistics of it all because to me it sounds like a fucking nightmare! I’m grateful whatever happens will happen and it’ll all be good. Did I mention they’re bringing the 2 boxers I’m grateful I don’t have to be in charge of it all. I’m grateful I don’t have to be in charge of any of it. I’m grateful I just get to be Pop Pop. I’m grateful I can play it as it lies.
I’m grateful for the Daisy purr fest bashing into my legs this morning. I’m grateful for the Alice purr fest going on right now from across the room. I’m grateful Mavy is enjoying his new couch by the window.
I’m grateful Benson and I went rogue yesterday and found a cool trail on our walk. I’m grateful for the clouds (marine layer,) layered in and out of the mountains and power lines. I’m grateful I’m loving it here in California.
I’m grateful my landscape guys work their asses of maintaining my yard. I know it was big but I never realized how much work it entails. I’m grateful I catch myself looking at some of the stuff that doesn’t look good and try and let it go. I’m grateful there’s so much other beauty to look at and enjoy and be grateful for.
I’m grateful it feels good to be back here at my home thread.

I’m grateful Alice is up and fed and on my lap purring.
