I’m grateful for forward motion.
I’m grateful for a better night’s sleep.
I’m grateful for more packing for a new (although only 30 feet away) adventure living in a new place.
I’m grateful my husband is as silly as I am. We are workshopping mission names for our upcoming move. Because why not. Operation Tuxedo Drop is the current forerunner. We have two tuxedo kitties who are going to fight tooth and nail (now I see where that phrase came from) to not get shoved into a carrier.
I’m grateful we pulled out their now-too-small carrier from when they were kittens and they fight for the privilege of laying in it. I’m grateful I won’t expect it to be that easy with the new carrier.
I’m grateful for lifelong friends and for a new gym membership. I’m grateful that I get to visit the gym with a lifelong friend tonight. I’m grateful our healthy bodies can walk there.
I’m grateful for sobriety so I can see all of this.

Tuesday gratitude.
I wonder where 2 days are gone in a blink. I’m grateful I know I was busy and sober, not even a codependent issue occured. I’m grateful I got a lot done because a lot more is waiting to be tackled.
I’m grateful for films that make me smile.
I’m grateful I spent hours at the hairdresser today and got fresh colour, a nice cut, hair care, a little massage when the hair was washed and a nap while waiting for the colour to unfold it’s beauty. Yes, they have new chairs where you can put up your feet and lay back. Very comfy. Beautiful hair now.
I’m grateful I got me-time in the evening. I’m grateful I fell asleep about 3 or 4 times today, the weather made me super tired. I’m grateful I’m catching up on laundry and chores.
I’m grateful I put first things first. Now off to sleep. ODAAT

SO very grateful for but not limited to…
- the breathe in my lungs
- the clean air around me
- my heart is light
- my body is able to move (may not be graceful but its a step in the right direction)
- my pains are not slowing me down
- a good nights sleep (i’ve been off schedule on times but do get a decent amount in daily - with the help of naps).
- spending quality time with my mom

- healing properties of water
- hard water pressure in the shower
- letting go of my attachments to material things
- finding my inner voice and listening to my body

Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Grateful my kids left on time for school.
Grateful for fresh blueberries.
Grateful for my extended family and for being more conscious about connecting with them.

I’m grateful for having good resources available to help me cope, heal and come to understand myself better. I’m grateful for a good meeting with the potential volunteers and then with social services. I’m grateful for this Dutch doctor who is willing to add more to his work trip to help the people here. I’m grateful for a good walk and then talk with my friend. I’m grateful for a healthy and tasty dinner. I’m grateful for the sunny day and the smell of mint. I’m grateful for hope and peace.

Things I am especially grateful for today.
Yesterday evening I logged into the online meeting I wanted to attend. There were more than 20 people already there but none of the expected hosts. I felt like that was a good opportunity to step up and give back. So I decided to become host and somehow with the help of everyone there we managed to have a good meeting. I am very grateful life threw me this opportunity. It made me grow in my gratitude.
I did not sleep well last night and the alarm went off too soon. I am very grateful I had nonetheless enough energy to get out and work on the game. I finally came up with a narrative and am very satisfied with that. I am grateful I had the strength and energy to be about and think and create again.
My daughter is suffering from migraine today again. I am glad I can help, grateful there are meds available, grateful we managed everything else she needs for school tomorrow.
I took a nice nap in the afternoon, did a short yoga session, rested a bit. I am still not back to my old self, but I enjoyed being capable again today.
I‘m going to co-host a meeting this evening. I‘m grateful I found Recovery Dharma. It‘s an attitude I feel my values are aligned with. I have a deeply ingrained aversion to hierarchies and even the idea of a higher power makes me cringe. I could not get over this wording in other programs. In a buddhist based approach I feel at home.
Sleep tight sober friends

I am grateful to have definitive answers to my housing stress. The lease is signed. Now the only stress will be shoving my cats into carriers for the less than minute walk next door.
I am grateful for this small salty bag of potato chips. I have made myself a deal that if I eat a banana at work I can have a small bag of chips. This ups my banana intake, which I don’t really like to eat, and stops me from buying chips for home.
I’m grateful for health and safety and enough of everything. I’m grateful I can start to be excited about our move again, I lost some enthusiasm with all that uncertainty. I’m grateful I bought the cutest little toadstool night lights for our bigger pad. I’m grateful I’m not drunk, hungover or planning my next drink. Onward!

Today I’m so grateful for becoming a man in the dumps of drugs and alcohol, because it has lead me to where I am currently. I was asked by a group leader at my celebrate recovery if I’d be interested in sitting at a table representing them tmrw evening.
Grateful because that lets me know that my sobriety is getting noticed. The change in my life, in my heart, and soul is getting noticed.
Grateful for the chance to possibly save some other folks from the evil of addiction.
My name’s JB. Thanks for listening

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for music and how it connects with memories and emotions. I’m grateful for my cat the Angel of Peace and that he turned a year old almost a month ago. I’m grateful that I can afford to take him to the vet for the first time on Friday. I’m grateful that I celebrated 18 months clean and sober at my NA group on the 7th of this month. I got a friend named cowboy Will to speak. I’m grateful it was the first time someone asked him to be a speaker and i surprised him by getting him to give me my medallion since my sponsor couldn’t make it. We both teared up a hit. I’m grateful that I knew he had been hoping to get asked to speak numerous times during his 5+ years of continuous sobriety. I’m grateful that my sponsee just left my place after we read and discussed step 6 out of AA’s book, 12 steps and 12 traditions. I’m grateful that I can work on acceptance and growth as my job at Canadian Tire took a drastic shift, they offered me a spot in the automotive department instead of my beloved sports department, as a way to learn more about the company. I am grateful that I have the courage to try and this will be my fourth department in the 14 months I have been there. I’m grateful that I can pray they are moving me around because they have intentions to make me a manager somewhere, someday. I’m grateful that I can work on not having unrealistic or unhealthy expectations towards work or any area of my life. I’m grateful for my apartment that is still looking pretty new after 26+ months of living here. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful that I get to play volleyball, golf, ride my bicycle and watch sports. I’m grateful that I started physiotherapy for my back after re-injuring it for the 3rd time at this job, a month ago this Thursday. I’m grateful that I have lost the obsession to keep up on this home thread of mine/ours and this application. I’m grateful to have a deep respect and think about a whole bunch of you (too many to memtion ) allllll the time.
May our higher powers help us find and manage connections.
P.s. You’re amazing. Don’t quit before the miracle, or after. Ya you!!

A great weightlifting class, I’m feeling stronger lately.
Nice natural food, it really lifts my mood.
Getting back on to my liquid probiotic shot every morning. It’s expensive, and I’m locked in for another year again, but I can’t honestly put a value on my gut health. Ergo, my mental health.
Getting away from London this Friday until Monday (with the boys) to the countryside to celebrate my OH’s 46th birthday and to see ‘nanny’. I love going to bed pretty early there, and leaving the boys in the living room with my MIL (they are so funny, they like to stay up), and hearing her chat to them as they play. It’s precious and so empowering for her as she’s started to pick them up 
She often says she’s looking forward to seeing them.
Missing the noise of the carnival this weekend. It’s fun if you don’t live in it 
We get a security detail and police patrol in our close so it’s hard to get in and out the car park. Usually we just go away, and I’m happy to return to quiet streets. Though actually we will be back for Children’s day on Monday, which is often worse than adults day for some reason despite people being due back to work on the Tuesday. Madness.
An amazing breathwork (conscious connected breathing) this morning before the gym. I’ve been avoiding it for about a week, possibly denying myself, possibly not able or willing to commit the work. I dunno, but it was powerful and releasing from tension and stress and the harsh inner critic. 
I’m glad I bothered to make time for myself.
