Tonight I’m grateful that I’m finally sitting down after a really hectic, yet surprisingly good night at work, with enough time to catch up around here before getting a good nights sleep for work in the am.

I am grateful this morging for birdsong at 5 in the morning. They sure sound happy. I am grateful for summer harvest from my little garden patch, especially the garden flowers I got to pick and bring home. I am grateful my need for beauty is easily satisfied. I am grateful summer is here. I am grateful for laughter and kind and gentle jokes. I used to be a real cynic and thought it was such good and witty humour to put people and things down. I am grateful this is not me anymore. I am grateful for positive people in my life. I am grateful I can be there for my friends. I am grateful I let them be there for me as well.
I am grateful for this place - I come here. Dark days get lighter. Light days turn into radiant ones. Wishing you all a faboulous day, grati-people.

Today I’m overflowing with gratitude

Rain at night and a cool morning, aired house cooled down, got 5 hours of good sleep, not even the nightmares bother me today.

Working around the house getting lots of things done and organized, enjoying the breeze that airs the house, mojo is good today (at least for inhouse work)

Cats, especially the old boy doing great with the cooler temperatures

Still leftovers for a yummi lunch

OMG I got so much done this morning, I’m happy, full and tired after lunch, sitting on the balcony, enjoying the cool wind, soaking up this weather like a battery loading

Deeply grateful for the calm, peace, kindness, love, joy and gratitude I feel.

Gonna get a book and take a reading nap in my deckchair now. For the first time since april. I’ve been up for 6 hours and accomplished more than in a slow week. Time to rest, center myself and live in the moment. ODAAT

God saved me last night. I crashed my bike and walked away with only a few cuts and bruises. I have to face the world today with a lot of shame with everyone in my small town knowing what I did.

I’m grateful for life.

I’m grateful to see my kids going to the last day of school.

I’m grateful for knowing in my heart that I need to change.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful you’re alive and checking in with us Skhan
Welcome home my friend.

“Your sober date changes, but that’s all that changes. You know everything you knew before, as long as you were able to fight your way back without dying, you learn a lot.”
Matthew Perry

I hope you see you around the forum

[tailee17]

I will be there in spirit in a chair on your balcony. Sounds lovely and calm. The calmness is what we are all looking for.

[tailee17]

Sorry about crashed bike. Hope you are ok. Good to see you back here. Take care my friend.

Back to gratitude

I am grateful:

To be sober
To be healthy
To have hope
To have possibilities
To get the job with mostly all points that were important to me and even a bit higher salary then my demand
To step into a new world beginning of September

To love
To be able to love
To be loved
To be save
To have food

[Lighter]

Glad you’re ok. And you’re here. It could be the day that changes everything

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful to wake up rested sober and hangover free.
I’m grateful for text messaging.

I’m grateful for Tom W. On my Al-Anon speakers app. Especially part 2. Self acceptance is the key.
I’m grateful when he quoted the Bible and he said, “it doesn’t matter if it happened or not.” Listen for the message. It was about Adam and Eve and original sin. I’m grateful for my open mind and to look at things differently.

I’m grateful for the new book I just downloaded Addiction and Grace
Love and spirituality in the healing of addictions.
Gerald May

I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful Alice seems pretty good and awake this day.
I’m grateful we got 1 cheap rug delivered and installed in our exercise/office room. I’m grateful it was cheap so it was very light and easy to carry in.

I’m grateful my new handyman seems very nice and knowledgeable and kind. I’m grateful my SIL loves his work and was here when we met yesterday at my house. And the Gus was with him.

I’m grateful I’m so overwhelmed and just can’t let go and stop thinking of what needs to be done next. Well, grateful I can recognize it anyway. I’m grateful I’m taking this time to relax and sit and do some gratitude work.
I’m grateful I got Benson walked at 7.
I’m grateful Alice was purring on my lap from 6:30 to 7 when I had to give her the boot so I could walk Benson before it got too hot. Sorry Al

I’m grateful I feel pretty good currently and hope to get on my reformer next and see what the day brings.

I’m grateful I’m prepared to be swamped Thursday and Friday and possibly Saturday with more deliveries and the chimney guys are finally getting here to start their repairs. Yay! Boo!

I’m grateful for you all keeping the lights on here on my home thread.

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

[TrustyBird]

I’m grateful I woke up today.
I’m grateful for very strong coffee.
I’m grateful I can feel a tough emotional spell coming, hopefully I can pivot.
I’m grateful that I love my job so much that I don’t care (mostly) that I got tricked into training the new guy. I’m grateful I think I will have the emotional reserves to do that.
I’m grateful I have friends who love me and reach out to me. I’m grateful they understand when I tell them my work/life balance lacks life these days.
I’m grateful that even on kind of low days like today my brain knows to reach out for connection.
Thanks for bring here folks. I’m grateful for you. 🩷

Hi grateful people

I am grateful for the goats that our HOA sent to eat the weeds behind our house. They’re so fun to watch and wake up to their bleats in the AM.

I’m grateful for coffee and chocolate and tacos.

I’m grateful for you all, as always

[acromouse]

Today I am especially grateful for:

• waking up early after a good night‘s sleep
• for several nights in a row without anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia
• getting my errands done before the day‘s heat
• nicely chatting with Mrs J
• having a nicely cleaned flat
• having my monthly review done; a good look back on the last month and things that are done, a good look on how matters are right now, and an interesting outlook on the next month
• the feeling of summer vacations being just around the corner and all the excitement that comes with them
• good food
• a good walk through the woods
• very invigorating yoga practice
• getting news about my mum‘s appointment at her doc, meaningful test results, and a path forward on her health issues
• having an internet connection back again
• getting stuff done
• looking forward to Recovery Dharma
• good books
• my daughter
• this day

Sleep tight sober friends

[erntedank]

Evening gratitude.
I’m grateful for a relaxing afternoon and evening on the balcony with cats, book, tea and time to think. It was wonderful. I got one summer day fitting for me and my needs. Very grateful for it.

I’m grateful I took a break, fetched the mail, planted 5 tomato plants, reorganized the toolbox, puttered around a bit and in a blink 1 hour was gone. So much done
I’m grateful I was outside when the parcel delivery came around. I guess that’s no coincidence, it’s the flow of the day. I’m grateful for flow🙏

I’m grateful I noticed Missi going in and out of the litterbox only peeing a little bit. Vet appointment tomorrow morning. Now my sweet furball is warming my legs

I’m grateful I do the best I can. Life is lifey sometimes. I prey it’s treatable. The horror of having to put down Penny immediately because her short breating wasn’t asthma but a giant tumor 5 years ago is still a trauma.
I’m grateful I don’t have to care about vet costs. I’m grateful I always have enough money for caring properly for my cats. I’m grateful I spend my money on cats and a good life. I’m grateful I don’t need much for myself.

I’m grateful I include the ex in my prayers today. Don’t know why. Just feel like doing it. I pray and meditate for all I love. Sure a small part of me still loves him. I’m grateful the major part of me is grateful and content how it is. Without him. Can’t imagine dealing with this cat health issues and him by my side. I would be a nervous wreck, forgetting to take care of ME first. For sure not calmly sitting in the deckchair with a sleeping Missi on my lap enjoying her warm fluffiness

This post got a bit derailed … I’m grateful I got all this off my chest. It’s a wonderful day for living in the moment. ODAAT

[Lighter]

• All the uncomfortable truths about so many things. Yep it will set me free. If I’m honest, I’ve made a lot of progress in not only accepting truth, but taking hard actions as a result. I can’t pretend anymore and it’s not Backwards Day.
• Recovery. Without it I would be doomed.
• Hope that gets me through the crushing loneliness. I’m on the right path. I’ve got people in my corner. They may not be at my house, but they’re in my heart.
• Easier time of it, when it comes to the obsession of alcohol. I just don’t consider it as an option. Took months to get here.
• Little signs. Suddenly I’ll see something or someone that I didn’t expect, and they have something to help me keep my chin up
• Fresh groceries
• A thinner but angrier fat kitty on a diet . Ok hon…just let me finish this post…
• Grief. That I can feel it.
• 118 days of sobriety
• Dealing with hard things. I have some real courage now. Sobriety brings true courage, there is no such thing as liquid courage.
• you! My friend: Where would I be without you?

[Laner]

I’m grateful to be finally on my way home tomorrow!!! I’m grateful for making it through this stressful time and thankful everything has turned out well. I’m grateful that my friend is doing better and is well enough to travel. I’m grateful that all turned out okay in the end and I did it all without drinking! I’m grateful to be able to see my dogs in 2 days time when all my travel home is finished!!!
