Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

[Tony1878]

Woooo,thanks very much

[EarnIt]

Grateful for a sober night equaling 6 months.
Gratitude:
Regardless of what occurs today, time will keep on going.
I drew a pretty great tarot of Knight of Cups - says a lot about how I think and want to continue to think.
People have “things.” Often hearing them tell stories makes me angry - but it’s misled. All people say and act, the way they do, for a reason within. I should know that and act on that.

Have a good day!

Congratulations on your 6 months of sobriety

6 months!!! Congratulations

[TrustyBird]

Today I am grateful for dark coffee and sunny walks.
I’m grateful that I had such a fun day yesterday. My dinner with a friend turned into a 6 hour outing with a few extra stops, and a ton of laughs. Plus we had good sober talks.
I’m grateful I watched a few episodes of season 3 of The Bear when I got home. Jamie Lee Curtis as the mother had me sobbing. I needed that release.
I am grateful there is a kitty at the end of my bed right now so I can twine my toes in his fur.

Today I’m grateful for all my blessings.
I’m grateful I was up early and got some work done before it became hot. I’m grateful for grocery shopping coupons and the post office open on saturday. I’m grateful the drill bits were delivered today. I’m grateful monday is lamp mounting day.

I’m grateful I can stay inside and the house remains tempered. I’m grateful I spent the afternoon reading and napping with cats around me. I’m grateful the vet texted to ask if Missi and I are ok. I’m grateful I let my thoughts come and go.

I’m grateful for an early night as I’ll be up very early tomorrow. I’m grateful I have brains and will keep the windows closed. Too hot, still 30 °C. One hour tomorrow morning airing the house is enough. This too shall pass. ODAAT

Today I am especially grateful for:

• my morning run
• hair care
• feeling very organised and efficient
• a nap
• feeling very strong during my yoga practice
• the city festival, realising once again how this kind of stuff it’s just overwhelming for me
• having had a pair of ear plugs at hand
• nice reading
• cinema
• calming down while writing this after two stupid guys did some crazy ass manoeuvres and honked at me while trying to overtake me on my bike and almost rear ending a family van
• this day

Sleep tight sober friends

[Refreshedperspective]

Grateful for my friends and the potential of being able to truly live in the moment.

Grateful for my partners and parents kind words

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I got up, showered, and shaved, and got my ass to the 9 am men’s Al-Anon meeting this morning.

I’m grateful I slept well last night.
I’m grateful I got the perfect cup of Joe this morning. I’m grateful I got Benson walked, wearing my hoodie in the cool marine layer that came in last night.

I’m grateful for the discomfort at a men’s meeting with almost 20 ish guys. I’m grateful it’s probably exactly where I needed to be.
I’m grateful I got to share my gratitude about being grateful for my alcoholic and how great my life is and how stressed I am and how miserable I feel. And it has nothing to do with my alcoholic loved one.
Knock Knock.
Who’s there?
It’s Me!!
It’s Always Me!!

I’m grateful some day I will learn to accept myself. And learn I’m good enough just to be me.

I’m grateful the rest of my day is about Gus.
I’m grateful they’re dumping the little stinker off at our house for lunch and dinner and the 4 hours in between. I’m grateful it’s us for the first time he’s ever been left somewhere for any amount of time. Perfect timing god I’m grateful it could be.
I’m grateful we got this.

I’m grateful that I woke up early and attended a Recovery Dharma meeting. Starting my day with a meditation based on self forgiveness is exactly what I needed.

I’m grateful to be going to a friends for ahuge 50th bday party tonight, and will not be drinking. I’ll feel way better tomorrow than everyone else there will.

I’m grateful for a float in the pool and AC on this 105 degree day. It’s supposed to be 117 by the weekend. That’s dumb.

I’m grateful for your gratitudes! Thank you for sharing. 🫶🏻

[Davina_Davis]

@Cjp 790 days is just amazing!! Go you!!

@acromouse haircare is self care for me!!

@Dazercat glad you found a meeting, hope you continue to get more comfy there

[JazzyS]

@Davina_Davis

117 by the weekend. That’s dumb.

Geez!! That is dumb! Thank goodness for AC and a pool…stay cool friend.
Enjoy the birthday celebration and a hangover free Sunday

[Davina_Davis]

Thanks sweet friend!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[Lighter]

• Grateful for some clarity, as painful as it is.

• Grateful for a decent sleep last night. Took the purple color right out of my eyelids! Finally.

• Grateful for a good counseling session where we talked about jobs. I have lots of homework that addresses my relationship with work. Yipes! Going to do better choosing this time. And heal first. We’re just beginning. No more heart attack jobs! My resting heart rate was 101 when I left. Now it’s 67!!

• Grateful for my sweet gentle gigantic zen kitty.

• Joy is the feeling when things first start opening up in a good way. The world suddenly seems larger and more colorful. I am starting to daydream. In a positive way. Of possibilities and future people. Of flow and synchronous things. It’s trippy but right in front of you at once. Wow.

• Grateful I have a hurricane or two to track!

• yeah, 4 months! So glad. Gone through March, April, May and June without a drink. Got through a date, a party, St Patrick’s Day, Easter, the total solar eclipse, my birthday, Memorial Day —- it’s getting better

• Grateful I’m in the middle of a crash. Meaning I want to sleep badly. Insomnia will beat the crap out of me for a week, then let me sleep for a few days

• so much hope! There is more hope than there are concrete achievements but when I’m drinking I don’t feel that hope. I can’t dream. It’s grey.

• You!

• 120 days alcohol free yeah

Day 4

I am grateful for this moment.

It’s a little past midnight and I’m sitting with my 7 year old watching the fights. I asked him if he will remember these times when he’s older… He said “of course, I get to stay up late.” His innocence and joy makes me so happy. I’m glad I’ll get to remember this.

Enjoy the night everyone!

[Tony1878]

[Just_Laura]

I’m grateful for 500 days! Like…What?! They really add up when you’re not paying attention

I’m also grateful that even tho I didn’t have time to write yesterday, and not much tonight, I’ve still been thinking about everything I’m grateful for.

So I’m grateful I finally opened and joined this thread when I felt like I needed something new. Grateful for all of you here with me doing the damn thing!

[SKhan]
