I’m grateful I live somewhere that allows me to have access to medical screenings for my health.
I’m grateful for electrolyte drinks and coffee.
I’m grateful to be up early, I haven’t seen a sunset in a while.
I’m grateful my colonoscopy prep will be completed soon.

I’m grateful I talked to my sister last night. She called for support after her 40ish year-old friend died. He was a big drinker who almost managed to turn his life around and then drank himself to death. I’m grateful I was able to share some sobriety talk with her until the conversation got too tedious for me. I’m grateful she knows drunks are tedious to talk to. I’m grateful we hung up before I got annoyed. It is unfortunate that her tribute to her fallen friend was to get drunk. I’ve done that and I remember the mentality. I’m grateful to not be there anymore. RIP Dave D.

I’m grateful for the existence of cheese fries. They will be my first solid food since Saturday once I am done with my procedure. I know I should eat something healthy, that will come later.
I’m grateful for this new day full of quiet reading and coffee in the morning. Even if it is a bit shitty. :speak_no_evil:
I am grateful for this sober day. Any mind altering substance I ingest today will be on Dr’s orders. Then a quick nap with a tube in an unpleasant cavity, then (have I mentioned :wink:) cheese fries. I’m grateful my hunger is only one day long. I feel fortunate today.

:lotus: I’m grateful I got my cat plugged in, my coffee, mantra playlist, electric fireplace going inside and life is good.
:lotus: I’m grateful I got to start my day with a smile a laugh and some good vibes from a friend.
:lotus: I’m grateful I’m following CJ on the home thread. Life just feels orderly when I follow you here. Although it may not post right after ya cuz I’m so long winded.
:lotus: I’m grateful I’ve been so stressed lately and fucked in the head. Because it leads me to take care of myself and go to more meetings where I find happiness and Hope with others who understand what I’m going through with both recoveries.
:lotus: I’m grateful Laner cut in front of me with her gratitude and it’s making me smile :blush:
:lotus: I’m grateful for this little reading this morning. It reminds me why we sometimes forget and must go back to step 1
The awareness of the presence of the bottle had become more powerful than the presence of my Higher Power.
This is myinsanity, my disease.
:lotus:I’m grateful to realize I can step 1 for granted and then find out I need to work more on it. And it’s such an easy step. Or is it :thinking:
:lotus: I’m grateful I get to go to the beach AA meeting on a Monday. I’ll take my therapy on the phone at the beach after. Get a coffee and a bit of breakfast/lunch and hit up an Al-Anon speakers meeting at the Pacific Coast Church.
:lotus: I’m grateful for west coast recovery.
:lotus: I’m grateful when I told my wife yesterday I’m taking another day of beach meetings she said “Good! Maybe I can get some stuff done around here tomorrow.” :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
:lotus: I’m grateful I remembered to tell my addict I love her before I went to bed alone last night. I could tell in her voice she appreciated it. And she said she’d be coming to bed soon……. She never made it. Fuck this disease!! She really thought she could. I could tell by the sound of her voice.
:lotus: I’m grateful I had no expectations so therefore no resentments and got to tell her I love her.
:lotus: I’m grateful I’m gonna be ok no matter what.
:pray:t2: :lotus: :heart:

You gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in the sad, the gain in your pain, and what makes you grateful not hateful.
