Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

I’m grateful for early morning coffee with my son :face_holding_back_tears: I’m grateful to have a baby in the house. I’m grateful they made it in safe and sound. I’m grateful there was no meltdown. She was so good. I’m grateful instead of gods will it’s going to be Norma’s will the next few days and I’m good with that. I’m grateful I’m so good with that.

I’m grateful I got a few minutes to exercise my gratitude muscles.
I’m grateful Sonny is booking a tee time at 7 am Thursday and wants me to join him. Oh god I hate golf :golf: I’m grateful for the opportunity to bond with him. I’m grateful it could take 4 hours :scream: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful Norma is interrupting my gratitude.

Grateful for Day 4. Grateful to be alive. Grateful for my peaceful home to get sober in safely. Grateful for all the food I have to get healthy. Grateful to be planning my first venture out tomorrow as a person in recovery on Day 5. Grateful for the life changes that sent me spiraling; they were actually very positive ones. Grateful for all of you. :heart:

Grateful to hear everyone made it safe and sound. No doubt, Norma will be running the show the next few days, but grateful you’re willing to go with the flow.

Golf?! :face_vomiting: i get it, it’s not about the game but coffee sounds better to me. :laughing: Grateful you’ll have that time to bond though.

I am grateful I got my mom a bathing suit and she joined us at the pool. She didn’t swim in years.
Grateful for our private sauna. I bet I’ll sleep well tonight. Grateful we will visit a palace tomorrow. I am grateful mom is having such a good time.

@JazzyS Glad to hear your mum is doing ok.

Today I am grateful the day progressed from awful to quite alright. I have no idea what it is, I assume as most of the time hormones playing rollercoaster.

I am grateful my husband took care of the groceries, so I could stay home.
I am grateful for a bus load of distractions, the meme threads, music, video games, youtube, naps.

I am grateful for an awesome sober day today. Grateful for another hard but amazing gym class this morning, followed by an hour in the spa/sauna area. I am grateful I did the cold shower thing today. Grateful I didn’t scream :scream::rofl:
I am grateful I took myself for lunch. Grateful for the time on my own, just observing the other people around me. Grateful for the time I spent today, just being present.

Grateful I managed to find a lovely gift for someone’s birthday. Grateful for Lush bathbombs. Grateful for tea, book and chocolates while in the bathtub :bath:

I really had such a good day! I feel just right and content within myself. And tho I am not in AA, today I am grateful for the serenity prayer, it has played a part in my recovery. Today I can feel the power and benefits it has brought to me.

Thank you so much. As this was my first sobriety journey and relapsed after 5 months I am being more thoughtful about approach and attitude.

I was a bit arrogant thinking I got this…

I am grateful for reassurance today. I spoke with my therapist today for a few minutes before conferencing my husband into conversation. (Spouse wants to be involved as he thinks I do not share all info or tell the truth at times.) I shared with my therapist how great the last 7 days have been…AA meetings, gym and accomplishing daily goals. When my husband joined the conversation with out any prompting he shared with the therapist how great I have been last 7 days citing all my accomplishments.

Relationship has suffered much and today was a positive step forward to repairing the broken bond.

My before bed gratitude! I’m grateful for bedtime routines. I light a calming candle, do my skin care routine, spray my bedding with lavender linen spray, and then I read and read. So grateful I am able to do these things, I never did when I was drinking. Grateful for you all as always, your shares inspire. ODAAT!! :purple_heart:

I’m grateful for this day.

I’m grateful I handled some curve balls at work today and felt like I did okay. Lotsa people off sick and I stepped into a few roles I wouldn’t normally have to. I’m grateful when the day was done I was looking forward to a short nap. A walk in the fresh snow. My dinner (pimped up leftover soup - I cannot stop staying this! :face_with_hand_over_mouth: Grateful for the giggle I have each time.) Some chill tunes. Going to bed with my book, which I’ll do after this.
Only now am I realizing how drastically different the day would have gone in the before times. I may well have been hungover this morning. I would have unquestionably dove into a bottle of wine tonight.
I’m grateful for my recovery and the rewiring of my mental circuitry :wink:

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:


I’m grateful for all of you!

I’m grateful to see @tailee17! I can relate to having thought “I had this”. It becomes a gift to lean on, in recovery… knowing that in fact we did not. Onward, friend.

I’m grateful to see @Sunflower1’s table. You takin’ orders? :sweat_smile:

Hope you feel better tomorrow, @acromouse. :pray:
