Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6

I can relate to that feeling of being sober at night. Being able to drive if needed. Not being wasted when my son comes home so we can have a chat about how our days went :purple_heart:

Thank you for this day :prayer_beads:
I am grateful my strange emotional ups and downs seem to have stabilised somewhat. I think yoga helped a lot with that. So I am grateful for yoga as always, as every day. Grateful for yoga assana, yoga breathwork, meditation, all of it. Grateful I can pray through the movement of my body, can pray by just being and feel the connection.
I am grateful my cough feels better today and my daughter has been up and walking through the flat today. Grateful for the short walk I did.
I am extremely grateful for my in-laws and their help today. For them bringing our groceries.
I am grateful I managed to get some work done. Grateful I did not feel the need to cope with food.
I am grateful the day is done and I am off to bed soon.
I am grateful for this day.

I’m grateful I got to my meetings yesterday and Monday. I’m grateful for the compliments after I shared about how far I’ve come.
I’m grateful I can tell I’m doing much better too. Because I’m grateful we’ve had 4 European vacations in the last 2 years and I noticed I’m much more calm and relaxed when my loved one is drinking. Yes I still worry. I’m grateful all I got to do is love :heart: her. I’m grateful she has a disease and I’m not giving up on us.
I’m grateful for my life and my wife and the life we have together, and the life we have made together. I’m grateful there’s no one else in the world I’d want to go to Tuscany with.
Tuscany :white_check_mark:
I’m grateful I got through all the wine tours and meals sober and it was so easy. Currently.
I’m grateful the other 8 people enjoyed my story of sobriety and thought what I was doing was a real good thing and I heard that a couple of times. I’m grateful that made me feel good. I’m grateful I don’t mind sharing my sobriety with others, even strangers.
I’m grateful I got to tell some people all about the magic of TS and my friends in Europe and all around the states and the world.
I’m grateful I had the best time and I do believe I owe it all to both my recoveries and working the steps. And especially TS and my gratitude peeps.
I’m grateful I’m back. For today. ODAAT.
I’m grateful.
I’m grateful by this time 2 weeks from Thursday I will have gone to Dallas, seen Norma. Moved the wife and pets to Cali gone back and forth and then moved all our shit and finally wake up in my new home. I must be mad. (Crazy.)
I’m grateful for First Things First. Gonna tattoo it on both arms. Cuz I’m gonna need that a lot in the coming 2 weeks.

Today I am grateful for my healthy body. I’m grateful to have a partner who also thinks its fun to have a crab and lobster boil at 2 am after a 12 hour shift. I’m grateful for sober sleep at night and strong coffee in the morning. I’m grateful for cute kitties and good books.

I’m grateful I had enough alcohol to see that it was problematic for me. I’m grateful I quit so I can now have enough in all my other life areas. 🩷

Happy Wednesday my sober peeps

I am so grateful for waking up early enough today and getting to the clinic in time. Grateful for being able to chug 50 oz of water in 2 hrs to help with the blood draw. Unfortunately still couldn’t find one … glad one of the nurses was able to help out.
I am so grateful for being back at my brothers place. Grateful for my lovely Egyptian cotton sheets.
I am so grateful for mango season. Grateful for getting some really good cases of mangos from the Indian store.
I am so grateful for learning a new word – fuckernoid (annoyed beyond giving a fuck) and fucksausted (so exhausted you don’t give a fuck) LOL.
I am so grateful for taking guilt free naps.
I am so grateful that i am driving now. Grateful that i found the little card (pic below) that always makes me smile. I had received it in a tip jar years back and i keep it in my car as a friendly reminder how powerful a simple smile can be.
I am so grateful that all went smoothly this morning with my new tenants. They are moving in today and the wife is adorable. Grateful that i as ok in waiting these 8 months to find the perfect tenant. Grateful that i got a 2 year lease.

I am so grateful for warm comfy cloths on cold rainy days like today.
I am so grateful that i was able to contact my irrigation service to come out on Friday to replace a broken sprinkler head. Grateful that i did not replace it myself in my condition. Grateful that they have a decent rate and hoping that it is a simple fix.

I am so grateful for TS. Grateful for having this community!
