Saturday evening gratitude.
It pours. Wait, 3 or 4 days without rain? No way! Oh boy I hate this weather. At least I’m grateful the air will be cool in the morning to air the house Now it storms so windows better stay closed.
Today I’m grateful for rest. I did pretty much nothing besides naps, reading, eating and watching TV. I needed it after yesterday.
I’m grateful yesterday was busy and productive and I ticked off all items on my to-do list. I’m also grateful I skipped the local solstice fire in the evening. I prefered to be flat & full on the couch, freshly showered and exhausted.
I’m grateful indoor it’s still tempered allthough it gets warmer. I’m grateful I don’t give a fuck and stay inside. I’m grateful for this comfy, big, cozy farmhouse.
I’m grateful for simple meals.
I’m grateful the cats cuddle and love me. Never too much catlove.
I’m grateful the last episode of chewing on codependent thinking brought up some surprises. Very interesting. I fell asleep before I came to some end with this thinking and I appreciate it. Could be a nice idea to just fall asleep because the ex and dealing with his non-whatever is boring. Why not. New try
As I’ll fall asleep within minutes, I’m overall grateful for all my blessings, friends and feeling safe. ODAAT
I’m grateful for a day of rest yesterday, I think I needed that.
I’m grateful for recipes where I have everything in the house.
I’m grateful I like to try new things.
I’m grateful I will never run out of books to read.
I’m grateful for hot black coffee.
@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
Grateful Mom’s back home from the convaleseant hospital and is getting her strength back again.
Grateful my Sister’s heart surgery went successfully.
Grateful to meet up with old friends today.
-My cats, who were both being so silly today
-Being able to work with my favorite busser on her last day
-Having to reduce my exercise routine bc I’m working so much, yet easily becoming more toned from manual labor
-Never even thinking about turning to alcohol in any situation
-Not having to wear a long-sleeved button up and tie to work tomorrow
-Being excited for the summer, outside of work
-Having everything I need for my daughter
-Looking forward to bed
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.
Grateful to be alive and sober and have the opportunities and responsibilities that I have today. Grateful I’ll be five years clean and sober in seven days.
Grateful I’ve been honest in how I’m going in my recovery lately and grateful that I’m doing some things to address some of the challenges I’m going through. Grateful I can feel love if only rarely, but nevertheless it’s there and I have it to give.
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!
Wow this is awesome Stella. What a great proud momma moment. Congratulations to her and to you.
Super grateful that you and the other people are safe from that truck @DuncanNZ wow coming up to 5 years. Impressive work … looking forward to celebrating your milestone with you @Saraboobear23 what a great positive post. Glad you found someone who will be a good sponsor. Grateful that you are doing so well and finding good solid connections to help you stay focused and in the sober journey Odaat

I’m grateful for a view of pine trees and the lake. I’m grateful for cooler temperatures. I’m grateful to get to go out and hike this morning ( once the kids get up and ready). I’m grateful for time off of work. @Its_me_Stella what an amazing achievement for your daughter! Grateful for everyone’s gratitude
I am grateful for this Day 8 of sobriety. I am grateful that this site was open late last night when I was having very bad intrusive thoughts to drink. I am grateful for Christ who woke me up this morning with a desire to talk to Him and start this day off right. I am grateful for my children and family who are there to support me through this journey of recovery. I am grateful for the strong desire I now have to stay sober.
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.
Today I’m grateful for,
Sundays
