Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

[acromouse]

Thank you for this day
I am grateful I had the time today to take everything slowly. Grateful I had enough energy to take care of my sick child. Very grateful I feel like she is already doing a bit better with less pain.
I am grateful I could code a bit. That always gives me joy.
I am grateful for TS and all the threads I can hang around when I can‘t do anything useful.
I am grateful my cough feels better, less coughing, better breathing.
I am grateful I am off to bed in a few.
Sleep tight sober friends

Oh I’m glad I stopped by Lam.
Good luck tomorrow. I’ll be thinking about you.
I always keep my ear buds handy and good meditations before and right after. You’re going to do great.

Happy Sunday you beautiful people

I am so grateful for waking up to 16 months of total sobriety. SO very happy to see the numbers increasing. I just passed 900 days of being cigarette smoke free too. Happy for the healthy changes in my life and to see them stick.
I am so grateful for being able to fall back to sleep (a deep sleep this time) after i woke up this morning. I tried to start the day but my headache just wasn’t having it. Grateful that i had a lesser headache when i woke up at 10am. Grateful for a lazy start to the day which allowed me to get rid of the rest of my headache with light pressure point massages.
I am so grateful that i woke up with a dread that i forgot my cousin’s birthday. It was on the 17th and i just realized that no one had wished her a birthday wish on our cousin group chat. I felt bad about missing it but grateful that i was able to send a belated message. My goodness - it was her 50th. Grateful that i sent her my apologies and my wishes and did not beat myself up on missing the date (i would have done so in the past).
I am so grateful feeling a bit better today. Grateful that i feel ok enough to go back to my brothers place. Grateful that my parents live literally a block and a half away from my brothers.
I am so grateful for yummy gluten free vegan cookies that i found that are made with coconut sugar and healthy ingredients.
I am so grateful for light upper body exercises and stretches that i have started to do. Grateful that my body is allowing me some movements without giving me much trouble. Grateful for baby steps in healing.
I am so grateful for warm showers. Feeling refreshed and clean.
I am so grateful for a lovely sunny day. Grateful that i know these weeks the weather is going to be all over the place and am prepared for it.
I am so grateful that i don’t need to the back end of my car - for some reason I can’t open the trunk anymore. It is a SUV with manual hatch. I am grateful that i can take it to the mechanic when i feel good and ready.
I am so grateful for my family. Grateful for having had the time with my parents these past two months (we had our moments but overall it was a good experience).
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful that i know i can lean on Him for some emotional and spiritual support during these times.
I am so grateful for all of you! Grateful to have found you all and have you so available to me at all times… this community has truly helped me understand my addiction and to stay on the sober path.

Monday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful for everything I did yesterday, it was a lot.

TMI hidden

• meditated in the beauty of a chill morning at sunrise on the balcony
• deep cleaned one of the litterboxes and parts of the bathroom afterwards
• clipped the old boy’s claws
• mowed, fetched logs for the wood stove and molehill soil gor the plants for 1,5 hours
• heated the wood stove all day (soooo cozy allthough it was partly sunny outside but chill all day)
• service on TV touched me deeply
• played with all cats and petted them for hours
• wanted to make tomorrow me happy and ran the dishwasher in the evening
• did some minor cleaning
• seedlings out in the morning and back indoor in the evening
• knitted a bit
• listened to piano music while knitting
• cooked healthy breakfast and enjoyed not so healthy icecream with nuts galore in the afternoon
• vaccuumed the living room
• napped
  This was the most I did in one day since I don’t know when. I’m happy and grateful that I had the energy and spent it on so many things. I’m grateful I wasn’t exhausted yesterday, only very tired. I’m grateful I don’t feel like I’ve overdone it today. My thumbs hurt a bit more today so I will take it easy on monday

I’m grateful the weight loss challenge reminder on my phone told me it’s over. 2,5 kg down in 3 months. Not much but I’m in better shape and have more energy. I’m grateful living on the farm improves my physical, mental and emotional health

I’m grateful yesterday me is a caring and loving person. Present me was very happy to find the dishes done and the dishwasher finished in the morning.

I’m grateful I feel a deep sense of peace, calmness, equanimity, love and trust when I wake up with two cats on me. I’m grateful I fell asleep again listening to their purring and feeling their warm softness, unable to move.

I’m grateful for delicious tea warming my tummy and making me smile.
I’m grateful for all the ME time I get to have. I’m grateful I know that this would not be possible with a partner, at least my ex. I’m grateful I acknowledge that I need more time. For me. For everything. For babysteps. I’m not done yet. I’m grateful the codependent patterns, thoughts and behaviour are changing. I notice a change. I’m grateful for change. In general.

I’m grateful for living a good life Peace to all sober fellows here ODAAT

Look at you stacking up those days, congrats on being 16 months sober AND 900 days NF! That’s amazing! Think of all the money you saved too!

[Tomato]

I’m grateful for a busy fullfilling day at work. Love my workplace

Grateful, on this very wet day, to come home to my warm, dry house and family

Grateful for last night’s proper deep sleep. Feels like the first good sober sleep.

[JazzyS]

Thank you Naomi. It feels unreal at times but I am happy to see the days adding up.

Keep up your amazing work too friend… together we are fighting the good fight

[Laner]

I’m grateful for my expat friend and the encouragement she gave me today. I’m grateful for a beautiful morning and being able to get in a good ride. I’m grateful for the baike that gave me a ride and his wife who gave me lunch and tea. And for the rain (we really needed it!). I’m grateful that today was an easier day for me. I needed an easy day. I’m grateful to have so many people around me who support me and want to help.

I’m grateful for my friends that help me and don’t judge me

Thank you for this day
I am grateful @Soberbilly told me about 8-Steps-Recovery. Today I started reading the book and it spoke to me in a very personal way. I am grateful for discovering an online meeting in my time zone at sunday evening. I am very curious to attend.
I am grateful for feeling much better today, starting my day with my morning practice, yoga and meditation. Grateful for feeling stronger and doing a short but activating yoga session in the afternoon.
I am grateful my daughter is feeling better even if she is still rather wobbly walking around.
I am grateful I finally became aware that I have been trying to get away from my discomfort for the last few days in all kinds of ways, through work, thinking, entertainment and with food on the edge. I am grateful I at least did not binge. It‘s exactly like the buddhist teachings say: All that is discomfort and by trying to get away from it, I create suffering. I am very grateful I saw these addictive patterns and experienced how all this thrashing around just makes everything worse, how I am just like a trapped animal wanting to escape the clutches of life itself. I am grateful I know that I want peace instead. Love and peace. I want to recover from all that fighting life.
I am grateful I am slowly finding that peace.
I am grateful for @erntedank showing off her chainsaw on the garden thread and all the other great threads and shares here on TS.
I am grateful I‘ll be off to bed soon.
Sleep tight sober friends

Grateful for last night’s proper deep sleep. Feels like the first good sober sleep.

I used to think it was normal to take ages to fall asleep and wake during the night, struggling to fall back to sleep. I’m so very grateful that since sobriety I fall asleep fast and stay asleep. I’m tired from healthy life choices and not pass out drunk
