Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful for a lovely dinner out last night overlooking the Pacific and a couple of nice mocktails.
I’m grateful for the freedom of the 40 minute drive home not wondering if I had too much to drink. I’m grateful, besides hangover free mornings, that drive home after a lovely night out sober is the absolute best.

I’m grateful I get to speak at the Al-Anon meeting today in front of a bunch of strangers and it’s a large group. I’m still new around here. I’m grateful I’m dying to get my story out and be of service by leading and speaking at a meeting.

I’m grateful I’m not too worried about what people think of me anymore at meetings if I’m leading or speaking. We’re all in this together. I do hope I do a good job. I’m grateful I’ll do my best.

I’m grateful for the beautiful early morning I had under the stars with my coffee in the catio.

I’m grateful my topic is going to be “I want your nuggets!” During all the chaos and even when there isn’t chaos, recovery can be difficult with all the steps and getting a sponsor and traditions and slogans and just getting yourself to a meeting etc… etc… etc… but it’s the nuggets I get from meetings that keep my sane.

Be Nice

I will be there in your meeting in spirit. I am sure if you speak as well as you write you will be a blessing to all there.

I’m grateful

• for a good morning hike with the dogs
• for a good counseling session this morning
• for a day in cleaning, killing mice and doing everything I can think to keep the mice out
• for my friend S
• for audio books
• for fresh naan with garlic butter
• for being sober and healthy
• that I feel peace and hopeful today

I am grateful for the transformative power of grief. Now if I could only allow myself to feel my feelings I would be aces.
I am grateful for friendships old and new.
I am grateful my kitty Water is at my feet and has been keeping a close eye on me today.
I’m grateful I had a good cry last night.
I’m grateful I’ll make more spicy noodles when I get off work tonight.
I’m grateful I’ll see my sister tomorrow on my day off.
I’m grateful for days off and off days. I’m grateful I know its important to reach out towards another human being on both. 🩷

Sleep tight sober friends

[erntedank]

Wednesday gratitude.
I’m grateful I turned around in bed this morning and had another 1,5 h of sleep. I feel tired to my bones.

It’s done. The facade is finished and looks beautiful. No pictures yet as the scaffold is still up. I’m grateful for having a house that looks like a house now. By by to the unfinished-look

I’m grateful a worker recommended a paver. He has time, the price is ok, the stairs and unfinished deck surrounding will be tiled by end of next week. Karamba! I’m grateful I say YES to opportunities - my motto for this year. It has got me a looong way and contributed remarkably to where I’m today in comparison to 1 year ago. I’m grateful I stick to my plans and keep going, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.

I’m grateful I used the new driveway today to unload firewood and stack it in the furnace room. Carefully, slow. I think I will be very grateful every time I use it. It’s a gamechanger.

I’m grateful I had a meeting to discuss another offer for the paving in front of the house.
I’m grateful I quit the fruitless communication with another firm. When they are not able to send an appropriate offer like all normal professionals, they waste my time. Boundaries.

I’m grateful for a long talk with the work master about the Lindner tractor. This dammed thing is rusted through. I’m sure they diddled me about for how much it could be sold but honestly: I’m ok with what I get, I want that thing off, away, gone. I have no nerves to search for a buyer for months. Another senseless investment out of love thrown out.
I’m happy and grateful my little dumper is working well, oldie but goldie. They will bring it next week.

I’m grateful I did chores, foremost I’m grateful I cleaned/dusted and washed all 4 pairs of outdoor sneakers. It will be raining the next days and it’s time to change to waterproof, warmer working shoes. I’m grateful for washable sneakers.

I’m grateful for rest, tea, food, fire in the stove, cats on and around me, milk with honey, being exhausted and tired from an intense day. I’m grateful I feel ok, peaceful and not lonely today.

Happy soberversary @JazzyS
Hugs to you @Cjp mood going down sucks
I have so much to catch up: Here are free hugs to all of you
Why? Because it’s Wednesday. A good day for hugs.

I’m grateful for 300 days sober today! I’m grateful that I feel like this app, and this thread in particular keep me both accountable and hopeful. Grateful for the kind humans who share their stories here.

I’m grateful that my work has snacks, especially on the days I forget my lunch and debit card. I’m grateful I put gas in my car last night.

Grateful for my new purple velvet shoes.ODAAT!!

300 days!

[EarnIt]

Day 300, grateful for a good number.
Grateful I am pushing against rules and the law, more or less. Help was been very little, despite asking for it. I still have the same roof, but don’t belong here.
Finding a place where I can “stay” with the dogs. They are Covid puppies and don’t have enough socialism or training to constantly have my weak self control them with a leash. Oof. I will come up with something.
Grateful I am alive and was quite observing my body freaking out over labor. It’s problematic to move things.

The Universe has a cause for all of this. I will be grateful that I don’t know what it is.

[JazzyS]

Hell of a job on 300 days

I do hope you are able to find a solution for you and your dogs

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I got up too early so I’ve had plenty of morning me time before I head to my beach AA meeting in a bit.

I’m grateful my coffee turned out terrific.
I’m grateful Mavy is pestering me as I try to write my gratitude.

I’m grateful I had some time in the dark with the stars on the catio.

I’m grateful I NAILED IT!! Yesterday at my Al-Anon meeting of about 30 people. I actually think we all had a good time despite our misery

I’m grateful the nugget I took from a share was.
Be where you’re feet are.

I’m grateful I’m living in California and plan to explore a new hidden hard to get to beach after the meeting.

I’m grateful for my peaceful mornings.
I’m grateful for the cool kinda cold weather in the mornings.
I’m grateful for my PCH drive in the mornings to the beach.

I’m grateful that after 2 and a half years of Al-Anon I can talk a good game. But deep down I can be, I am, very sad, about my wife’s drinking. But there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.
Grateful I can still love her.
Grateful for my changed attitudes that aid my recovery not hers.
Grateful for Hope. Hope in me and my recovery. Not hope she will ever stop drinking.
I’m grateful for the time we do have together.

I’m grateful today I get to do what I want.
I’m grateful I get to work on doing what I want everyday.
I’m grateful I know I need to work on the word No.
I’m grateful No can be a full sentence.
I’m grateful I got to go!
I get to go!
I’m physically able to go!
And have the means to go!

The times when we can say no, in a kind way, rather than saying yes and then resenting it, will occur, on a daily basis. This can make the next twenty-four hours rather interesting, too.
