Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

Happy Thursday, all! Today I’m grateful for
TS as always.
Having a good sleep.
Beautiful sunshine today.
Songbirds returning.
Daffodils blooming.
Blossoms on fruit trees.
Veggie seedlings looking good and healthy.

I’m grateful for my morning hike and ride. I’m grateful for the unexpected guest that came today we ended up having a great conversation and time together. I’m grateful for my friend S who agreed to come with me on my work trip. I’m grateful for cardomon tea and for the new plant I got today.

Today I’m grateful I finally caught up here!
Again so many many thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes 2 weeks ago :sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart: They made me smile and warmed my heart :hugs:

I’m grateful Missi needs Mama cuddles today, she purrs away on me the moment I lie down on the couch, digging her head into my armpit, tamping on my belly … a fluffball full of love :heart::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful the bullshit in the morning was just a nightmare :pray: It was horrifying waking up and thinking this shit was real. Until I realized I fell asleep again because of purring cats on me instead of getting up after 5 min. morning-cuddles.

I’m grateful the massage today was … the perfect ouch. I’m grateful I mostly relaxed for the rest of the day.
I’m grateful the insurance agent visited me to talk about the contracts. It’s nice and comfortable that I can settle these appointments at home.

I’m grateful yesterday ME cooked soup as today ME had tummy issues and needed fresh, hot soup. Tomorrow ME will be grateful there’s still soup :pray:

I’m grateful I become .ote aware how much I still define myself and my living/lifestyle in context with the ex. There are many many small and not so small patterns, thoughts, beliefs… It’s astonishing how deeply engraved some things are. I’m grateful my therapist, cousellor and psychiatrist encourage me to gently unravel adopted, learned and relationship-related behaviour from my present ME. To learn to put aside what’s not longer real part of my life, what only exists in memory (and codependent wishful thinking). Slowly, kind and very gently. I’m grateful I’m confident I can do this. I’m grateful I’ve come a long way.

I’m still everyday grateful for the wood stove, it’s still chill. I’m grateful I enjoy reading on the couch without feeling guilty (thank you @JazzyS for bringing this up!)

I’m grateful for babysteps. I’m grateful every step counts. I’m grateful it’s ok if everything I do today is survive. I’m grateful my day today was a lot more than surving :pray:

Thank you for this day :pray:
I am grateful my husband could get me my meds without all the hassle of going to the doctor‘s office. I am grateful I have to take them only for three days and so all the side effects will be over soon. I am grateful for modern medicine. I am grateful I can rest and take my time to get better.
Sleep tight sober friends :night_with_stars:

I recently found the book - I am struggling to find things even though I have now been at this home 6 months. I should start reading it again!

Grateful for:

  • This thread, although I haven’t been paying much attention to many things, I know it’s here. I know it matters.
  • Day 118
  • My battery that was wonky actually had loose wires. I, in the olden days, would have checked those, and didn’t.
  • My landlord who gave me good steps to managing my “new self” that doesn’t always remember things - and she said, “Stop thinking badly about yourself. Write stuff DOWN.” I know this. I know this.
  • Tiny smells, tiny and inadvertent and untiming, but they are THERE
  • Tiny tastes, today tuna and ranch dressing.were taste-ish.
  • Best sober searching groups around

Grateful for a good sleep last night
Grateful I was able to see off some brief thoughts of ‘f*$k it all whats the point’ and decided not to drink after tweaking my back at the gym.
Grateful I was able to sit down and watch some tv with the kids that both them and me vibe with. Bluey with the younger one and X-men 97 with the older.
Grateful the kids have a bit of a special day at bjj tonight.
Grateful for another day sober and hangover free

So grateful to finally be healthy again! RSV is no joke. Grateful to taste and smell again, I missed those senses immensely. So grateful for the miniseries Shogun. It was amazing. Grateful to always be able to come on here and get the good vibes and strength to be sober for one more day. Happy almost weekend all :purple_heart::people_hugging:
