I’m grateful we made it to Cali yesterday and we both love the house. I’m grateful we got a shit ton of work to do in the next few hundred ODAATs to make this our forever home. Forever is not going to be long this time I’m grateful we can treat it like our last home and fix it up the way we want without ever having to worry about resale. I’m grateful I’m done! I’m grateful this is my fucking opus!
I’m grateful maybe, just maybe, finally, I’ve come to acceptance. I’m grateful I can let go of hope in other people and get back to myself. Hope in myself. I’m grateful all my worrying about who I would be traveling with yesterday, sober wife or drinking too much wife was for not. Of course she drank too much. I’m grateful that’s what alcoholics do. I’m grateful maybe I can finally accept that fact. I’m grateful I can try and not let Lucy pull that football out from underneath me anymore if I just accept the fact she has a disease, and just know. She’s gonna drink It’s what alcoholics do. I’m grateful I’m safe. I’m grateful I love my wife with this disease. I’m grateful I get to work on loving her more I’m grateful in my mind this is the only option.
I’m grateful for this beautiful life. I’m grateful for this next new adventure in my life.
I’m grateful I get another day to turn my will and my life and my wife’s life over to the care of god. I’m grateful for my courage to keep moving forward. I’m grateful for both my recoveries without them I’d be a drunken bum.
Grateful for y’all.
Grateful for all the rain in Cali as it looks beautiful and so green out here now. Grateful my house is dry on the inside. I’m grateful all that weather, rain, gave it a great test before the inspections.

Can’t wait to see the pics of your new garden. You’ve got cacti (or is it cactuses?) at the new casa?
@Steve14 how cool is it to still function after short nights right? Those mornings are a walk in the park in comparison to the hungover days of the past.

I’ve had a near brush with losing all I own to a fire, so I can sympathize greatly. Hang in there. While difficult now, this will pass and become a memory soon enough.
@erntedank I am so grateful for the lovely sprouts and haul you’ve gotten so far – looking great friend. I have always wanted to start sprouting in doors and be ahead when spring hits but alas not this year. What a surprise to be producing something different than the seeds you think you planted @chiron thank you friend. I am sorry that you have had to deal with a fire in the past – definitely very scary stuff. I do hope you were able to get in a restful nap today.

I woke up pretty ok this morning, no headache, no heartache. That I am grateful for.
I am grateful my morning was productive, but I also managed to take my breaks, connect, be in my body, listen to it, surrender to the present moment. I am very proud of myself here
I am grateful I kept my food journal, I am grateful my relationship with it has changed: from a hassle and something that would take the fun out of eating, to a very useful tool that makes me comfortable around food. I am grateful I was mindful through my meals and thus enjoyed them far more than otherwise.

As an ex-JW myself, I’m grateful you are on talking terms with your parents. That’s huge. My family won’t talk to me, despite me extending an open invitation to my family’s home or to chat anytime.
I’m grateful to have made peace with this after 30 years of resentment, bitterness and grief, drowned in a torrent of alcohol.
I’m grateful that my children will never be shunned by me or my partner, no matter their choices.
I’m grateful to be teaching my kids critical thinking, to question everything, and to make informed decisions.
I’m grateful for ex-JW activists

My boss is on vacation this week.
The smell of coffee brewing.
A few more toys and clothes ordered for my 5 year old grandsons visit this weekend. He wears me out but I love his visits. We get him one weekend a month. He is the sweetest little boy.
Friends that trust and love me.
Another day to do the next “right” thing.
My sobriety, without it i would be hopeless, depressed, and in the downward cycle of doom
Hubby trying his best to be supportive
Boscoe and the joy he brings the family
My mom and dad and the chance to talk to them for an hour last night
My moms always been independent and taught me this strength (and weakness)
Fresh running water
Hot coffee
Comfy pillows
Our safety
This amazing community

Handpan music on youtube, boy is that zen inducing
Patience with self and others

I am grateful that this month is almost over.
I’m grateful the weather is supposed to be beautiful today.
