@pinkyp So good to see you posting friend. Glad that you are doing well 
@lab WOW happy Anniversary :partying face: 
That’s awesome that your son is also following in the sobriety footsteps. Role models are real and impressive ! Hope you enjoy your celebratory get away
I absolutely love this! Go on with your bad self! Love who you are and who you see in the mirror 
Yeah Saturday and time to practice some gratefulness with you beautiful folk
Today I am so very grateful for but not limited to the following…
- living life and breathing clean breath into my alive body everyday!
- yesterday was my 18 months of sobriety. I can’t believe its been this long already and grateful for this community to keep me focused on my journey
- been keeping to my sleep schedule. The early nights are allowing me to get up early enough to get in my walk and swim before the weather gets unbearable.
- had a tea date with a neighbor. Realized I still am not up for socializing. I ended up enjoying our time but unfortunately I felt sick for the rest of the day and had a massive migraine. Luckily I was able to sleep it off.
- got home in time this morning from my routine to meet my sister as she was pulling up.
- got some time with her today. We had a heart to heart and got in a good cry.
- my brother went with me to my rental to check in on the dryer issue. Turns out the belt is broken. Grateful to be able to get discontinued parts from Amazon. Will be able to fix the drum rollers and belt hopefully on Tuesday.
- for being able to whip up a coconut peanut butter curry which was a big hit. Grateful for the spicy chilly oil and dried powder. It had the perfect amount of heat and sweet and crunch.
- for having time to catch up on TS this evening as my siblings have gone out.
- for my HP! Grateful for having faith in Him and realizing that i just may not be able to see the whole plan. Right now I am going through a rough patch - it will not last forever. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. I am healing daily. I have to focus on the positives and remind myself of how far I have come.
- for my family! I love them so very much and grateful for how close we are in relations and proximity.
- for finally getting around to dying my hair.
- for meeting and exceeding all my Garmin workout challenges. They were due to end on 6/30 and I am already ahead - feeling good about it
- for you wonderful peeps. Love you ALL and appreciate the beautiful connections I am making here.
Hope you all have a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Wishing you all so much love

I am grateful that I only have 2 more sleeps until I get to see a chiro. I can admit that I am too painful and too afraid to go to some rando and have an adjustment this weekend. Id rather suffer and trust my guy. I am grateful I found a guy after a few crappy ones.
I am grateful for one more day of relaxation before its on like donkey kong next week. A trip to the mainland to see a concert, a grade 12 commencement, and a 4 day camping trip up northern island. I am grateful for my full life.
I am grateful that my daughter feels proud and that she was beaming with joy the other day. I am grateful that she was recognized, not with one, but with four scholarships this year. I am grateful that her hard work paid off. I am pretty sure with will also be recieving the achievement scholarship, but those arent awarded until November. I am grateful that I was able to support her through these last few years in school whiched helped her gain some excellent work ethic. I am grateful that my dad taught me well, even though at the time I wanted nothing of it. I am grateful that the scholarships cover her first year in post secondary. I am very grateful. 
I am grateful to have real connections with real people. None of this fake ass bullshit. I am grateful my real friends can take all my realness. 
Sometimes shit gets real!!!
I am grateful that The 3/4 ton truck didnt hit me head on, the other day, that I was able to veer onto the shoulder and stop before hitting the pole. I am grateful he found his own lane again after almost killing four on comers. I am grateful that I am not the person I used to be and didnt have the urge to chase him down. Fucker.

I am grateful to have attended my second meeting and met a woman that I think might be the right fit to be my sponsor!
Since getting sober and starting treatment I have had these really crazy Deja vu moments! When I walked into my first treatment group all of the people there looked so familiar but I had never met anyone in that room. I thought I must have dreamed of that meeting and those people and to me that was a sign that I was in the right place! Tonight when I was listening to my potential sponsors story I kept looking at her and thought she looked so familiar but I couldn’t place where I’ve seen her…. I have never seen her before in person, I take that as a sign that she stands out to me because it was meant that I was at that meeting and was meant to meet that woman!
I’m grateful for these moments that seem so far fetched but at the same time so fitting for everything that has happened and for what’s to come.
I’m grateful for starting to get back in touch with my spirituality! Before meeting my husband I believed in a higher power and lived my life along a path that made me happy because I stood by my core values and tapped into my spirituality to guide me. Along the way I have lost that, but I feel it coming back!
I’m grateful to be diving into this community here and actually meeting people in person, collecting numbers, getting to know others and being able to be 100% honest and not to have to hold back and lie.
I’m grateful that I’m starting to get comfortable talking about my recovery with my family and friends. I have even explained to my middle son (only because he asked) what the classes I have been going to at night are for. He was so happy to hear that I was getting help to not drink “adult drinks” anymore. I want to be vocal with my boys about addiction because I know it will most likely be something they struggle with just knowing the family history and if I can get enough education about substances and addiction before it gets ahold of them I can hopefully save them years of lost time, lost dignity, shame, guilt, and fear!
I hope all of you amazing creatures have been doing well! I haven’t been getting on as often to talk about my gratefulness but I still think of this sober community often because you guys were my first step to connecting to try (and so far have) to get sober!
Good night everyone!

Grateful for sleep, and for mornings. I get up in the morning and I’m fresh (or at least, fresher than I was the night before, when I was tired).
Grateful for noisy cats outside my bedroom door, who motivate me to get up and out of bed to feed them breakfast.
Grateful for rain, which nourishes the soil that grows my food.
Grateful for friends I can call and message, who take time to understand me and I take time to understand them.

I’m grateful to be 80 days sober! I’m grateful that my friend is doing better and could get good care. I’m grateful for unexpected plans and travel and all that that entails. I’m grateful for kind people who have been helpful and generous. I’m grateful for my friends at home who could continue to take care of my dogs, animals, house and garden while I’m away and then agree to keep going with it when I had to extend my traveling. I’m grateful for my friend and that she is doing better today. I’m grateful for good health are being available in Turkey. I’m grateful that we were so close to Turkey when she needed a doctor. I’m grateful for how well I’ve done despite stress and change of plans. I’m grateful that I’ve not had any cravings in days.

Sunday evening gratitude.
I hope I’m less tired than yesterday
Today I’m grateful I woke up past 3 a.m., opened all windows, enjoyed the cool breeze and when I had my next thought it was 7.30! I’m grateful for this deep, relaxing sleep in cool morning air. I’m grateful my brain produced a dream that was a follow up of the last thoughts and chewings on my codependency. I’m grateful it was not a nightmare. I’m grateful for a minute I was not sure if I dreamed this stuff or if it really happened. I have faith that this are signs that internal changes take place
I’m grateful I puttered around the house and got suprisingly much done.
I’m grateful for service on radio. Today’s message of faith, joy and peace echoed deep in me. I needed to listen. I’m grateful I feel at peace, safe, calm and able to let go and let flow.
I’m grateful I found the ring I’ve been searching for days and originally wanted to put on for the solstice rituals. I imagined wearing it.
I’m grateful I changed the blankets and covers on the couch. Since I woke up the old boy to join us in the living room the couch is full:
I’m worried about my old boy to the extent that I fed him by hand today and forced him to drink a bit water as he slept all day. He slept on me for an hour and is his lovely self, but sleeping really much. It’s cruel that all living decays. Being perfectly healthy and then bam - finish would be a lot less hurting. I hate hurting, crying and sadness in advance. It’s a tough price for loving and caring.
I’m grateful I fixed the reading glasses, now I can read and type again without getting a headache I’m grateful for all my equipment! I’m grateful I’m a hands-on person.
I’m grateful I don’t give a fuck. The solstice and full moon rituals, meditations and work on mindset really helped.
I’m grateful that weekends nowadays are only for me. That I appreciate that fact. That I deliberately enjoy and build new routines. I’m grateful for decades, when weekends were filled with family stuff, grocery shopping, cooking and caring. As my parents are both dead and my husband ex-ed himself I now have all time to myself. Still catching up on ME time. I’m grateful it’s ok that I still need time for myself to recover, heal, find my way, and to cope. I’m grateful I accept that I can only change my stuff and even this takes time, work and patience.
