[MrFantastik]

Hold up a second calling some one Australian around here is fighting talk I’m from NZ, I’m a kiwi

[Lighter]

Haha…you’re good Jasmine! 120 days and four months are a few days apart, since there were 31 days in 2 of the months, and I had to complete the entire Day 122 to open the chip! Rip off .

[MrFantastik]

Grateful to be at work
Grateful to be healthy
Grateful I’m able to get a workout in at work
Grateful for @acromouse drawing me back to this thread. We’re probably very different people but I appreciate you on here
Grateful I got to see one of the kids before I left for work, she always comes downstairs to see me if she hears me getting ready for work
Grateful for another day sober and hangover free

• The discipline to stand outside in July caring for my thirsty garden. We’re under strict watering restrictions so hand watering is the way. I’ve got lots of sages, a barometer bush that blooms a few days before rain, lantanas, bright red crepe Myrtle, many pretty unknowns and Asian Jasmine. Drought tolerant, native stuff. It felt good to cook out my troubles. And it was my mother’s garden. She would be glad I’m giving it some love after 2 years of brutal drought. It is slowly recovering

• Having faith that I’ll be ok. I bought some pretty stone bracelets and a necklace as a reminder. Will get a few new outfits for the new woman I’m becoming. It’s kinda who I have been before, but better I hope! I need to get a couple boho skirts to complete the look. And hats. Summer!

• Hope. It’s everything when combined with action.

• all of you fine folks!

My daily gratitude list

AA MEETING (just what I needed to hear)
Good energy for bookkeeping
2 days of diet have been successful
Daughter’s help has been amazing .
God is here with me.
I have enough sometimes an abundance.

[acromouse]

Ouch, now I am in trouble, ain’t I Next thing I’m going to be crushed by a guy who can do 100 burpees and float.
On the other hand you might not be able to withstand the gravity here So I might be save as long as I stay on this side of the globe
My appologies for misplacing you on the planet. To be honest New Zealand sounds far more fantastical to me then Australia, although both are places I have been making up stories about as a kid. Maybe one day I’ll get there and get to see the beauty

[Naomi]

Grateful for seven months of sobriety and over three months nic free.
Grateful to have found a new purpose in life by building my van, in preparation of traveling Europe. Grateful to have gained renewed energy. I am not bored anymore and have something to get out of bed for and look forward to. I would never be where I am now if I’d still drink.

I am grateful to see all of your posts, I really love this thread. I’m not that active anymore (maybe again in the future), but I am lurking here

Wishing you all a fab day!

I’m grateful for another beautiful sunny day. I sure picked a great week to take off.

I’m grateful the meeting went well yesterday. My daughter loves her new aide and vice versa. They’re going to be best buddies. That lady has the best job in my opinion. Who wouldn’t want to get paid to spend 6 hours a day having fun? I’ll still do all the hard stuff to make it easy peasy on the aide. I’m grateful we decided on 3 days a week rather than 2. Hopefully she’ll start Monday. We’re waiting on final approval from the state. There’s no chance it won’t get approved but the agency needs them to sign off. I’m a lil nervous it won’t happen in time with the holiday but we’ve been at this for 4 months already, what’s a few more days. I’m grateful delays like this no longer consume my thoughts. It will happen when it happens.

I’m grateful my daughter made friends at the public pool. There’s a boy that loves her and gets a little too touchy feely for my liking. I had a convo with his mom and she’s going to work on boundaries more with him. He’s in special education, don’t know his diagnosis but he’s a lot like my daughter. I’m also reinforcing boundaries with my daughter and instilling the fact that no means no. The momma bear in me comes out when anyone comes close to crossing a line with her. But I allow them to hug when they say goodbye.

I’m grateful our plan today is to hit the casino. Haven’t been there in years so this should be fun. Something different for sure. I’m looking forward to their buffet for dinner. We won’t spend a lot of time or money. We’ll actually spend more time driving (4 hours round trip) than gambling.

I’m grateful for each and everyone of you!

Edit… I’m grateful my husband is celebrating 3 years sober today. I forgot but grateful for the ST notification. Phew! Dodged that bullet.

[Lisa07]

@Cjp

Sponsee lied to me

Oh no! I’m sorry this happened to you and with your first sponsee no less. I hope this doesn’t deter you going forward. Some alcoholics are sicker than others and take more time to get completely honest.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful to read your gratitude this morning. It has made me so happy. I loved every bit of it and so grateful to follow you on this journey. And HUGE congratulations to your husband. 3 years sober?

No fucking way!!
Give him a big TS hug from me, one of your biggest fans.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I woke up today after a great nights sleep. Alice on my lap, Benson on the couch next to me. Daisy at my feet and Mavy on my neck, back of the chair. Listening to my mantras on my new sound bar enjoying my Moka Pot Italian roast coffee, watching the sun brighten up the day.

I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful for all the furniture she’s bought on line and I don’t have to furniture shop. Irl
I’m grateful she takes my advice sometimes and gets what I think is a better choice and it works out.
I’m grateful she makes me smoothies in the morning around 10.
I’m grateful she takes care of lunch by picking a place and telling me to go get it.
I’m grateful she takes care of dinner by making a reservation and letting me drive to dinner.
I’m grateful she does a lot of the daily menial chores that I don’t get to do. I’m grateful I get to do the extra curricular chores like hiring handy men, HVAC guys, Chimney guys, do all the phone calls, dealing with pool guys, and AV guys etc……
I’m grateful we make a great team.
I’m grateful she doesn’t worry about shit and I get to worry about everything grateful I’m working on that last bit.

I’m grateful the house is coming along so nicely and the timing of everything is too close for me but as Lisa said it’ll all get done when it all gets done. What’s a few more days, even if we have guests in the house.

I’m grateful my wife is trying very hard to “control” her drinking. I’m grateful I know that “trying to control,” my drinking doesn’t work for me. I’m grateful I don’t know what works for her. I’m grateful for my choices.

I’m grateful for you all keeping the lights on here while I been too busy. Still reading but not always posting.
Love you guys.

Thank you, Eric. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. Those first 2 years of my sobriety were pure hell. I didn’t think we’d survive all his lies and false starts. Grateful I stuck it out and now we get to experience some of the best years of our marriage. So happy to share this journey with you.

[Tragicfarinelli]

Grateful:

• A beautiful Body Balance class with the classic Tai Chi and sun salute warm ups. Both are lovely.
• Being able to still run a 5km without stopping despite only training my running programme once or twice a week. Sometimes not at all.
• A peaceful heart
• Food and water
• Scandinavian noir
• Better sleep lately since back home

[Pandita]

I am grateful to be sober and for so much gratitude going on in everyone’s life. I am grateful I feel accomplished today and work is fun. I am grateful I let people be responsible for their own life. It’s been a steep learning curve. I am grateful for words of wisdom and kindness. I am grateful for mentors from all over the world and the singularity of all our lifes. I am grateful I am going to treat myself with some delicious pizza Marinara in a moment and some Shakespeare later on tonight. I am grateful I learned how to fill my happiness cup in so many different ways. I am grateful the journey is still ongoing.

[Laner]

I’m grateful to be 90 days sober! I’m grateful for good friends and neighbors. I’m grateful for my neighbor friends who gathered for tea this afternoon. I’m grateful for my friend who cooked me my favorite meal for dinner. I’m grateful to have a good morning hike and that I could take time alone to reflect. I’m grateful for the new plant I was given. I’m grateful to be alive and healthy. I’m grateful for good days and for bad days. I’m grateful for the cup of coffee I rationed out to have to celebrate my milestone. I’m grateful for laughter and good stories. I’m grateful for this supportive community.
