Iām grateful I got that fucken crib together yesterday in only 3-4 interrupted hours my back is grateful for the little interruptions it got. Iām grateful my chiropractor straightened me out and I donāt have to deal with that again. Iām grateful Iāll be dealing with a baby car seat today. Hopefully that will be easier on my back.

THE JOURNEY IS THE REWARD There is nowhere to go, no summit to get to, no future where we will āarriveā at happiness. The joy of the path is walking it. What we learn about ourselves and the person whom we becomeāthey are the fruits. Living our purpose is The purpose
On Louās website. Not sure if itās his quote or not
The quote The Journey Is The Reward is from Steve Jobs thanks Google. And itās a book title about him.
Iām grateful for this thread which is the main one I read but feel intimidated posting to. Grateful I had a good stretch of interrupted time to work on a project with a hot deadline. The sun is rising a little earlier these days and staying longer. Iām grateful for that.

I am grateful for Sober Talk. I was having a rough one last night and being on here helped me through it. I am grateful I woke up hangover free this morning.
I am grateful that Pedro Pascal won the best actor for a TV series at the SAG awards. The guys at Succession have been (deservedly) sweeping all the awards so to see Pedroās joyful self win one warmed the cockles of my heart.
I am grateful to have a day off of work to take care of 3 important appointments. One physical health. One mental health, and one DMV. I am grateful for health insurance.
To be alive, despite what is going on in this ānewā life.

Congrats @50ber on 3 weeks bro. For me thats when I had really evened out, the withdrawls and headaches had disappeared and the cravings became a lot more manageable. As good as you feel keep going. Itāll get even better

AFAF ODAAT
Some days I write a gratitude post and really Iāve reworded whatās in my mind to be stated in terms of āgratitudeā because some days I am glad or happy about certain things, or some wry feeling of "Iām grateful itās not worse ", but today I genuinely feel grateful that I was able to help someone else who was genuinely in need, to know that what I did actually mattered and made a difference in someoneās life.
I might have been helping someone else, but in the end I gained some unexpected personal insight into my current emotional situation and a great feeling of satisfaction for the day. I have honestly been feeling like nothing I did had purpose anymore. I have been feeling like I have died in some way. But I came home feeling happy and feeling like I was alive.
In this I have spontaneously felt overwhelmed with emotion and cried on and off. Thank god I didnāt have to go anywhere else because you know how splotchy a personās face can get when crying! Though Iām grateful my make up has stayed mostly in place through my strange emotional outbursts.
I woke up this morning to a dream where Metallica was staying over at my house and I was flirting with James Hatfield
Well, Iām grateful I was up early, so I have more time to spend here before my morning walk.
Iām grateful for my life. Iām grateful for what drinking took from me. Having seen myself in the worst way, makes me see how well Iām doing right now.
I am grateful for being able to work on myself, being a better person to others but especially to myself.
It can get pretty dark and Iām grateful for experiencing that. Thereās no light without darkness somebody wrote here not so long ago. Yin Yang

Iām grateful for being more social today
Iām grateful for planning to tell my friends about my sobriety on Sunday

Iām grateful Iām stuck here with Alice on my lap. Usually she just gives me a few moments of her time and goes back to her heated bed. And repeat. The old girl is, well, getting old and there are some small changes happening that weāve noticed but nothing alarming. Iām just grateful she enjoys her daddy so much. Iām grateful to have Olympic strength bladder control in the morning after coffee. Grateful I used my ember cup so my coffee stays hot.
Iām grateful there was no way there was going to be time for me to share at the AA meeting last night and I just enjoyed listening.
Iām grateful for Insight Timer
Iām grateful I can get utilities turned on or put in my name on line. I always want to talk to someone. Iām grateful Iām just going to let that go. As long as I get a confirmation email.
Iām grateful my insurance guy found me some insurance and itās not gonna hurt as much as I thought it was. Oh itās going to hurt. But it could be so much worse.
Iām grateful wifey ordered a bed for the guest room in Cali so weāll plan our first visit around that. I canāt wait for her to see the house. Iām grateful I have a fantastic real estate agent friend in Cali. Iām grateful thereās a Trader Joeās right near the house. Iāve never shopped them before and Iām grateful for the excitement of using a new local grocery. Ya Iām this old
Iām grateful the Whole Foods that Iāll use is 2 minutes from the Gus Stop Iām grateful for the fantasy of possibly bumping into my daughter at the grocery store. Iām grateful for the little things.
Iām grateful to be really grasping on to the idea to just enjoy my journey. Let go of trying to control. Iām grateful itās less stressful this way.
Iām grateful Alice is still purring away on my lap.
Iām grateful I got the Burner asleep on the floor to my left. Iām grateful I got Daisy asleep on the floor to my right. Grateful wifey is finally up and maybe Alice will get up. Iām grateful Iām free to move about the cabin
