Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

I’m grateful for my coffee making skills and the Hairbender Stumptown beans. I’m grateful my one cup in the morning, this morning, was Fabulous!!

I’m grateful when I dribbled some coffee on the floor I pulled out my Bona mop and cleaned more of the floor than anyone should before coffee. I’m grateful the half ass job looks nice.

I’m grateful Alice is back for a refill on her daddy.

I’m grateful wifey wants me to go to the orthopedic guy with her today about her knee.

I’m grateful for all the stress I got going on and I’m learning to recognize it. I’m grateful I’m not numbing myself over it. I’m grateful I can stop and meditate and get done only what I can get done.

I’m grateful it’s a very cold beautiful desert morning that will probably warm up nicely.

I’m grateful for First things first. And the serenity prayer.

I’m grateful for another day to try and remember to turn my will and my life over to the care of god. Almost forgot didn’t I :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m grateful I already said the Serenity Prayer at least twice this morning. I’m grateful when I lead meetings I get to pick the topic. I’m grateful I’m really listening to other people’s shares about the serenity prayer and how often people actually use it and how. I’m grateful I’m going to up my game.

I’m grateful for my life! My amazing journey! My wife! And things are good. No great! Right now. That’s all I got.

Thanks @Steve14, @MrFantastik, @Dazercat, @JazzyS, @Dilettante, @Cjp. Appreciate it! 🫶🏼

I am grateful for another done day of work and chores.

Grateful to be asked for an interesting project today. I am so much more outspoken at work sober and ideas are flowing. A sharp contrast to sitting at meetings with a hangover from hell, counting the seconds, wanting to go home/bed so badly. Not being present, anxious, with red eyes and a dry mouth… Any how, I am so grateful to never have to go through that horror ever again.

Grateful for having a laugh with my favourite person, my son.
Grateful for another chill night, watched a beautiful but sad movie, Wit.

Grateful for going to bed early tonight!

I’m grateful my chilli and ginger, tofu stir fry was super delicious. I needed a warming, nourishing meal and it hit the spot.
I’m grateful to be going to bed peacefully, because I have learnt to pick my battles witn my daughter (most of the time). Tonight was one that could have erupted, but didn’t need to. We can talk it through in the morning.
I’m grateful I’ve been prescribed something to help me sleep and I am drifting off more easily.
I’m grateful for beautiful flowers bringing a touch of spring to the house, even though it’s raining sideways outside :rose::wilted_flower::hibiscus::bouquet::cloud_with_rain::cloud_with_rain::cloud_with_rain:

I’m grateful for another day to try and actively remember to ask god to give me serenity, courage and wisdom, even when things are going well.

I’m grateful for another day to try and turn my life and my will over to the care of god. Even when things are going well.

I’m grateful my coffee is even better than the coffee I made yesterday. And guess what? It’s still hot :coffee:

I’m grateful for First Things First. Patron Saint Of Moving :laughing: I stole that from a lady at my meeting :wink:

I’m grateful to be up early in the cold Arizona desert with my gorgeous view out the window. I’m going to miss it so much. I’m grateful the little fucker is going to be worth it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I’m grateful we got a video and he started walking now. I’m grateful his Pop Pop will have a grassy yard for him to play in and it already has a swing set.

I’m grateful wifey got her orthopedic dr visit in yesterday. We are not going to do anything right now since her pain level is a 1-2 but if it gets worse he will squeeze her in for a cortisone shot. Not so grateful he said you got a horrible arthritis :scream: bilateral :scream::scream: but grateful we know what we are dealing with. Grateful he seemed like a real nice guy. But we’re moving and grateful if we never have to see him again.

I’m gratefully excited I get to go to my Al-Anon meeting this morning. I’m grateful to get up off my ass and get the Ol Burner and my old bones out for our walk.
Grateful for my health.
Grateful for y’all.
Grateful for humor.
I’m grateful sharing good humor with good friends is better than just keeping it to myself :blush:
:pray:t2::heart::coffee:

I can continue to struggle and lose. Or I can accept that I am powerless over alcohol and alcoholism, and let Al-Anon help me to redirect the energy I’ve spent on fighting this disease into recovering from its effects.

Ugghhhh I am so far behind here and this is one of my absolute, if not, favorite threads.

I will be playing catch up soon.

Today I am grateful for over the counter non drowsy, Benadryl…. Bc holy crap I am drowning in allergy symptoms galore. It’s not a pretty sight.

I am grateful for pushing through and going on long walks despite nature hating me.

I’m grateful for my job finally finally finally slowing down a bit.

I’m am grateful for maintaining all of my current goals and still staying motivated.

I’m am grateful when I had a moment to spare I was finally able to take a tiny bit of time to post something on here.

Grateful for all of you. :heart_hands:

I’m grateful the people in my life have learned (most of the time) not to ask my opinion on something if they are just looking for sympathy and/or validation. I am perfectly willing to give validation and sympathy but the request has to be for “sympathy” or “validation” and not “what do you think about X situation”.

I am not psychic and I am not gratuitously “nice”.
I am too literal for round about requests. If you ask for my opinion, that’s what you will get.

I’m also grateful I’ve learned to double check with certain people that they do, indeed, want my opinion on something when I think they might actually want something else.

So grateful for personal growth :laughing:
