I’m grateful I been waking up on my own at around 5:30 to get my chores and coffee done so I can get Benson out by 7 am. I’m grateful I don’t have to get up at 4:30 in the desert to walk him by 5:45. I’m grateful I wake up with a mantra going on in my head for a delightful ear worm. I’m grateful for my sleep meditation on my grateful Insight Timer app.

I’m grateful for catio time after dinner last night it was nice and relaxing. I’m grateful I choose that with a leisurely home cooked meal instead of frantically rushing to get to a meeting instead.

I’m grateful my new handyman showed up again on time to take pics to work up an estimate.

I’m grateful I got a kick ass day today and I’m finding time for gratitude and time to take care of myself, before workers and deliveries. I’m grateful this house will not kill me. I’m grateful when the Dallas contingent shows up a week from Saturday with their fucking dogs. Boxers :scream: it’s not gonna kill me. I’m grateful whatever work gets done gets done.

I’m grateful my daughter feels comfortable enough to drop Gus off for 4 hours Saturday afternoon :scream: as they have to attend a celebration of life. I’m grateful that will not kill me either. I’m grateful I’ll be ready. :joy::joy::joy: ready? That’s funny :grin: I’m grateful I’ll be ready, to just go with the flow and play Pop Pop.

I’m grateful if every morning I wake up to step 1. It’s not so bad. I’m grateful I can carry myself to step 2 when I listen to a speaker on Al-Anon or AA speaker app on my walk with Benson to start my day.
I’m grateful for Tom W

I’m grateful to stop by and maybe later get caught up here in between workers and deliveries.
:pray:t2::heart:

I’m grateful that my mood from yesterday did in fact shift.
I’m grateful I recognize my moods now. As a drinker I was often depressed, now I get the array. With that array comes the occasional giddy joy. I love that.
I’m grateful for my husband.
I’n grateful for my girlfriends of 30+ years. I’m grateful we’ve been friends this long and I’m grateful we still like each other.
I’m grateful for a day off tomorrow and my ever growing to do list. Maybe I’ll get some stuff done tomorrow, maybe I won’t.
I’m grateful for a new friend at work. We are going to take the motorcycle basics safety course together which has been a goal of mine for YEARS.
I am grateful that my buddy @Tragicfarinelli has been sober for half a year today. Hell yeah girl!

Today I’m grateful for a busy day. I’m tired and early to bed.
I’m grateful Missi will be ok, have to give her meds for a couple of days, blood tests are ok, a tooth needs to be done in 3 weeks, she lost weight. Thank you @JazzyS and all who thought of her :pray: I feel relief and have faith I can handle this.

I’m grateful for all here who get better with their health. Sending healing vibes to all who struggle with health issues :people_hugging::cherry_blossom:

I’m grateful my therapist is understanding, had to cancel our appointment today because of vet. First things first.
I’m grateful breath meditations and focused timeouts helped me through yesterday evening and today.

I’m grateful the mower is repaired, I do hope I find time to fetch it tomorrow. If not it’s ok. I’m grateful I get help tomorrow with mounting lamps. First things first.
I’m grateful everything I can prepare is ready. Or at least I hope so.
I’m grateful I jumped over my shadow and bought a new ladder that must only be used indoor. I was fed up with always cleaning every piece the ex stored somewhere before it can be used inside the house without making everything dirty. That hurts somehow because there must be 3 ladders outside anywhere burried in the high grass. My life, my rules.

I’m grateful I got some chores done. I dislike being behind on chores. I like the house neat and tidy allthough I am not very good in keeping up with the necessary fumbling :see_no_evil: I’m grateful I do the best I can :pray:

I’m grateful for Missi on my lap on the balcony. We enjoy the evening and cool breeze.
I’m grateful tonight I’ll get 8 hours of solid sleep thanks to sleeping meds. Last night was crappy with thunderstorm and nightmares. I’m grateful I take a shower before bed. I need it. ODAAT

  • I’m grateful to be celebrating 4 months this weekend! Longest I’ve gone in 10 years. I had six years then, so a ways to go for a PR, but it’s a lifestyle. The counting part is less important. Except for now…haha

  • Feeling brighter than this morning.

  • My cool, quiet and peaceful home.

  • Walking into your closet and having your favorite clothes fit again is a wonderful feeling. No more drunken bloat.

  • Financial security

  • Friendship

  • you!

@tragicfarinelli WOOT WOOT! 6 months is amazing work friend. Grateful that the moles checked out clear. Fiery ginger beer? OOH that sounds lovely. What brand is it?
@lighter Yeah to coming up on 4 months. You had the 6 years which is impressive work and you know you can do it again. Each day sober is a day won! Great work Marie

Practicing gratefulness on this beautiful Thursday :hugs:

I am so very grateful for …

  • waking up early and getting in a lovely walk / swim before the heat kicked in
  • for takiing a scenic route to do the delivery today
  • for being available and able to do tomorrow’s deliveries
  • for staying on top of the workouts for this months challenge
  • for getting all my errands run and now being comfy at home catching up on TS
  • leftover pizza
  • air fryer to warm up said pizza - turns out so crisp and perfect - almost better reheated.
  • for scheduling my dental appointment (they called me thankfully as i most likely would have forgotten to call) - It is in November (luckily i am on the wait list)
  • for getting the pool to myself since most people do not enjoy early morning swims
  • for my family! For my HP and my connection to Him. For meditating / praying to keep me feeling peaceful and connected.
  • For all of YOU! Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:
