Unrelated to kickboxing. Plantar fasciitis, meant I couldn’t train barefooted. Went into a hole of self pity. Realised I needed to pull myself out regardless of the injury. Got some boxing shoes and away I went. Realised I really needed to quit booze if I was going to get fully out.

Plantar fasciitis is no joke. Definitely not helpful with barefoot training. I went down a drinking spiral when I had it too. Glad I’ve given myself an uppercut to get my head out of pity mode. What’s the transition to boxing been like?

Not too bad. I boxed before. But no sparring, had done heaps of KB sparring, now boxing sparring people cut angles really well, and my foot work is slow to catch them, could just be im fat and old and they’re not haha. Its nice to have to worry about my legs getting kicked anymore haha
Anyways. Back to gratitude. Grateful to find common interests with others on here. Grateful for getting dinged up every now and again to let you know you’re still alive😂

I’m grateful for meeting @MrFantastik, connecting over shared interests, and for the hope he’s given this old dog to push through the pain.

Grateful that I made it to 60 days today AF!!
Grateful for my daughter, she turned 20 a while back and has just turned from a surly teen to a loving, sweet daughter. I’m sure my sobriety has something to do with that.
Grateful for lavender linen spray. Grateful for you, my sober fam.

I’m grateful that after a very long day I was able to come home and sit outside on my porch swing and watch the sun go down. Listening to the night bugs come out …
I’m grateful for the peace and quiet in my house right now, everyone else is also unwinding after their own long days.
I am grateful to have a home that I love coming back to at the end of the day, not bc it’s fancy or perfect but because it’s my place of peace.
I’m grateful even when I’m overwhelmed and tired that I’m able to find reasons to be grateful… mainly bc of this thread. It’s a whole different perspective I’ve been able to incorporate into my daily life.

My long gone granny payed me a visit in my dreams and we had a lovely chat. I woke up happysad and immensly grateful for this occational reminder of what safe people and places feel like.
Grateful the cold I’ve been down with is slowly receding and the coffee is back to full flavour.
I am grateful it has become the new normal to wake up with a clear head and free of shame and guilt. I sometimes forget what these days were like, when I would swear in the morning “no more drinking”, only to be back at it by 5 pm. I never want to go back there. Be well, grati-friends.

Today…well yesterday now, was a good day.
Spent weekend with wife and kids out of town, went and got some more tattoos, went shopping and took the kiddos to some events, and came back home tonight. Upon arriving home, wife and kids decided to give me some of my birthday presents early.
An AA style chip that says “Daddy, You Got This”
A addiction recovery journal
A 3 bead bracelet with a special 30th birthday note
An AA chip holder to keep my chip with me
A black necklace with a pendant that has the Serenity Prayer on.
I am forever thankful for my family. This year will a year I never forget.
