Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

Grateful for another sober day.
I’m grateful my partner said he was thinking about wine, he didn’t go and buy any which is good progress. Then we watched a film and he said there is alcohol in nearly every scene in this film, I hadn’t noticed but a while ago I definitely would have done, I’m grateful he’s aware of his feelings and working on his relationship with alcohol - he’s doing ok.
Grateful for taking it easy today, a few jobs, dropped my son off, not much else.
Grateful to be sober, a non drinker, tee total.
I’m grateful to read the Yesterday Man story on TS, grateful for looking out for Tomorrow Man :sparkling_heart:

I am grateful it’s the weekend. I am grateful that I’m sober & that I’m choosing to be sober every day. I am grateful that I’ve found so many resources to help with my sobriety. I grateful that I found the courage to ask for help with my addiction. I’m grateful for my therapist. I’m grateful for the love, compassion and understanding I’ve received from my friends & family during our conversations about my alcoholism. I am grateful that I’m joining in on a push up challenge for February (my muscles are not grateful just yet, they will be) I’m grateful for my warm, comfy bed. Good night all 🩷

I’m grateful that I’m slowly recovering from my second sickness bout of the season. Once isnt unusual, but twice in a season is much more rare. I’m grateful I understand that its just that kind of year and taking it one day at a time.

Im grateful for day 4 of sobriety, which was quite easier than day 3. :blush:

I’m grateful for early morning runs with my partner. We’d usually be hungover in the bed but instead we went for coffee and pastries and a trip to the health & wellness store.

Grateful he went to a AA meeting with me and we both committed to doing better for each other and ourselves.

Grateful for this community and reading the positive side effects of sobriety for us all.

I am grateful that my landlord came over today and we had a chat about my current position.
She has a history of unpleasant VA physical experiences and understands my accident more than I’d agreed with.
I am grateful for this house, this forest, this acreage.
I am grateful I will find a way to keep it going. I am grateful for a community garden we plan on installing this Spring and I miss my chickens.
I am super grateful for my online meeting club. The shares there matter. I used to share so much more and am working on it.
I am grateful for a cat that is not mine, and really doesn’t even know she’s a cat, among a human.
I am grateful for my overcooked veggie soup. I am grateful for my intent to do more, more skill and movement. Though I spend much time alone, it is no reason to slack with my house.
I am grateful to accept that I cannot currently move big things on my own, knowing my accident’s ownership. Slight things bring bigger things, with healthy choices and right decisions.

Grateful for all of you.

I am grateful for waking up at 6 this Sunday morning. I love getting up before sunrise, but I still struggle to go to bed early so I’m pretty tired. It’s a process.

I am grateful I now know to leave in my hair dye a bit longer to not end up with orange hair. (It’s just blond, nothing exciting @JazzyS ;))
I am grateful for fresh bed linen and the new strelitzia in my bedroom. It gives me jungle vibes.
I am grateful for another day without any have-to’s. Might even have a power nap later.
Grateful for the paw on my arm as I am writing this with one hand :paw_prints:
I am grateful we are moving towards spring :seedling: :sun_with_face:
I am grateful to be on the path to recovery and for being able to share our journeys here together with you. I’m also grateful for all the inspirational videos and information available on the interwebs.

@Michelle Congrats on the 4 months, that’s amazing! :tada:
@SoberWalker congrats on another milestone, how many days? I’m bad at calculating :wink:

It’s so weird to see old family pictures of women, they look so old at 40 even. You’re looking good girl! I also think it has to do with being young at heart. Keep that up! :100:

Yes, I was always scared to become a lady with blue grey curled permanent hair in flowered dress with a belt and comfy shoes :blush:
It seems like every woman above 60 looked like that :hugs:
Later in life I met an 80+ lady with Nike sneakers and decided to be like her when old.
Grateful that I look how I look these days :grin:
And thank you Naomi! :pray:
