I am grateful to be sober and back to working full-time.

I am grateful that I have lots of great memories of my Mom that I can hold onto following her passing. I miss her so much. She was an amazing person.

I am grateful to be grieving without the hazy cloud of hangovers and the mental instability from the chemical imbalances that drinking creates. F THAT.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful today is off even not knowing exactly what to do due to the grey weather outside.
I am grateful I can be interested easily. Downside: by everything. So basically my flat looks like a combination of PT cabinet and gym.
I am grateful for less stressful days ahead mentally as days are getting shorter.
I am grateful to discuss my problems with my jaw (joint) with my dentist yesterday. I am grateful otherwise everything is still okay. I always go there with the expectation that he will tell me : sorry, we have to redo everything for some super sale price of 20.000 Euro.
I am grateful for some chat with some neighbours. One let me to get motivated to put on the tyre on my wheel in 5 min. Seems that it worked to avoid help from others. I am grateful I get more independent from mechanics when it comes to my bike.

I’m grateful for my morning routine. And grateful it’s doesn’t ALWAYS have to be exactly the same. I’m grateful it was very important for me to have my morning routine exactly the same in the beginning of my sober journey. I’m grateful I can be more flexible and just be content.

I’m grateful they found crystals in Mavy’s urine sample :grimacing: we had no idea and now I’m grateful we can start antibiotics and a urinary tract diet for him to battle this thing. I’m grateful he likes his new food. Presently :smirk_cat: I’m grateful B’s urine sample came back good still waiting on her bloodwork. I’m grateful we like our new vet. And all the veterinarians we’ve met there so far.

I’m grateful we get to drop Benson off at the doggie day care to play with some dogs while wifey and I go out for brunch and a movie. I’m grateful we won’t have to worry about getting home for the dog.

I’m grateful for Gus time yesterday. Oh my god he’s a moose 🫎 :blush: I mean he’s a big boy. I don’t know how my daughter carries him around when she has too. I’m grateful I actually got a hug and a snuggle from him as I carried him, oof, to the car from the restaurant last night. I’m grateful parenting is for the young. Or at least I was young when we did it. I’m grateful my daughter is such a great mom. I’m grateful I remember to tell her that.

I’m grateful it’s nice out currently.
I’m grateful for my beach meeting yesterday. I’m grateful it’s Monday through Friday at 8:30 so I can always make one depending on my schedule. I’m grateful I made yesterday’s, there weren’t many people there. I’m grateful that’s one way people are happy to see me :joy:
I’m grateful my beach meetings are so diverse. Sometimes just 4 or 5 alcoholics on a beach and sometimes 60 or more. I’m grateful I never know until I show.

I’m grateful for my very interesting weather wise hike after the meeting and my baguette and cappuccino afterwards.

I’m grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful for my wife. I’m grateful we have some humor we see on line and wait for each other to watch it together. I’m grateful for Trea Crowder and Randy Rainbow :rainbow: :joy:

Gratitude for today.

This morning I slept in. Haven‘t done that in a while. Grateful for staying in bed a bot longer today.

Grateful for the walk I did in the gardens this morning. Autumn weather, fresh air, still so many flowers and friut on the trees. But also already some trees without leaves.

Did some more research for my game. Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Grateful for all the ressources available to me, all those ideas coming together. Grateful for creative work.

Spent the rest of the day just chillin on the sofa, reading, watching TV. My daughter went on a day trip with her grandparents. Grateful for them, their relationship, and my free time.

Grateful for the silly exchanges on this forum.

Grateful I‘ll be able to cohost a meeting in a few.

Grateful for this life, grateful for another day.

Grateful today

Laughter and happy all day
Knee problem has increased in severity today and so glad I am home and can recover with ice and know I don’t have some major todo and have to cancel.

So very grateful a friend came and took garbage cans out to street. Never had someone I could count on last minute like them

Grateful I am sober clearheaded and so full of appreciation for life. My God is with me through the journey of LIFE. When I stay connected to his will for me great things happen.

Grateful for my wife, who has been checking in with me every night and who told me tonight that I was allowed to feel what I was feeling (it meant a lot to hear her say that, as I was sharing about my emotional space today)

I am grateful for the kids and teenagers in my life. Spent a great day in the park with my friends and enjoyed the feeling of belonging.
Went to a fun immersive concert last night. The audience was placed amidst the orchestra. I picked a spot between the French horns (my ears are still ringing :sweat_smile:). So cool to expierence the whole thing like I was active part of it myself. I am really grateful for people who dedicate their life to opening doors to new expierences.
I am grateful I dodged a covid infection it seems. Fingers crossed this remains true for the next few days. Really excited about my upcoming trip to Copenhagen. I am grateful I get to treat myself in ways like this. I mean, actual treats and money well spent.
