Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

Wednesday gratitude.
I’m grateful coloscopy is over and I still sleep off the anaesthesia.

Grateful we treated us with delivery from our favourite poke bowl restaurant for lunch and my best friend stayed for a while until I went to sleep after lunch.

I’m grateful I’m flexible and patient as due to illness some appointments this week must be rescheduled when the people are healthy again. I’m grateful I protect myself as good as I can by wearing a mask when meeting people indoor and using public transportation and washing hands and face regularly. People became careless after Covid came to stay and don’t give a shit if they infect others with whatever they carry around: colds, influenza, noro, covid, RSV, pneumococcus …

I’m grateful my townhouse is warm and cozy, I feel sleepy, dizzy and sometimes cold. I’m grateful I stay another night here and have no hurry tomorrow morning :pray:
To be honest I move from couch to bed now and will be sleeping again before it’s dark. ODAAT

I have had a really shitty day and I’m depressed as f*ck, so today I’m only grateful that I’m sober and alive. Maybe that’s enough for today.

Even though I have 47 days I feel really low today. Really emotional and crying. I work in mental health and deal with clients daily. Had a couple break downs in the office and having hard time peopling. I feel emotionally drained today and for the first time in 47 days I feel like a massive shot of vodka. I know it WILL NOT help but make things worse but the craving for that instant short lived relief is there.

Sorry to hear, my friend. Recovery can be really hard at times. I’ve been also very emotional and crying quite a lot. But I know this storm will pass and happier days are coming. I wish you all the best with a big hug! Stay strong! ODAAT.

I’m grateful for being on a path of sobriety, allowed me to be very productive at work today
Also grateful for not listening to the urge to drink in the evening, even went to a shop and totally ignored section with alcohol
I’m grateful for building up my overall resistance and managing my emotions at work though it’s difficult from time to time. I’m living in that part of a world where there’s a strong envy in case you’re on a different path than other people expected from you and their behaviour changed suddenly. It means I’m doing something right.
I’m grateful for having a clear head and staying humble

Things I am especially grateful for today.

Today I went to visit the Archeological Museum. There are all kinds of finds from the stone, bronze, iron, and early middle ages of the region on display there. I am grateful I got the tip to go there, and very grateful to all the people working there that make it possible for me to visit the exhibitions.

Took a nice walk over the Oder islands, enjoyed the sun in the afternoon. Grateful for the great weather and the green parks there.

Went to my favourite book place on the way back. Browsed through the books. I am always especially interested in the works of contemporary polish authors. I am very grateful this place exit, grateful it has such a great collection, grateful I can read books in different languages and thus have access to different cultures.

Did some yoga Later. Grateful for the movement, breathing, meditation.

I am grateful for this life and grateful for this day.

Sleep tight sober friends :night_with_stars:
