- Having nothing scheduled today. I didn’t sleep much so I’m slowww. Still had a good day. It was better than a sick day. Got the basics done. I’m getting stronger. I really like it. I haven’t recovered yet but I’m maybe going to.
- The sunshine I sat in this morning. I need a little each day.
- The dumb deer. I told them not to be so destructive
I was snorted at. Looked like a damned dance took place last night! Hoof damage. They just can’t help it, we’re coming out of a major drought. They’re extremely busy. - Not wanting to drink. Not even a little. Like a non-drinker.
- Space and time to get better. It’s bumpy right now but better bumpy. Can’t explain…haha
- That feeling of hope and promise. Like stay right here, you’re going to love it. Like maybe it’s going to be really good soon. Keep going.
- 130 days
- Air conditioning
- choices for supper.

- you

130 days is so great…I am at 133 and just recently life is getting so much better. Calm, clear headed and finding energy again to do things I use to love. I also love gardening. Remembering to water and plant maintenance was non existent when I was drinking. Even plants above the kitchen sink were neglected and that is pretty bad…

I’m still a bit forgetful but all the plants are doing much better! And now that I hired some help, I can add many more, and do it right! I’m going for more plants and flowers, and less messing with lawn grass. It’s very hot here and prone to drought, so many of us are exploring new ways. It was strange at first, but now seems normal to have more natural yards.
Glad to hear you’re feeling clearer- I think I’m due for a breakthrough! Soon enough, I’m sure 
Have a good evening

Grateful for a good day 13… First day back at the restaurant since the strike at the job started. It was nice being back in AC and seeing the regulars. Came home and did a ton of house work to get things organized for future me.

Good morning grateful dudes and ettes 
I’m grateful for my cat on my lap.
My gorgeous cup of coffee I already had @LAB
I’m grateful for Benson asleep on the couch across from me.
I’m grateful for Jyotishaki and Vidya singing a lovely chant on my sound bar while I enjoyed the moment.
I’m grateful I recognize the fact that I’m stressed to all fuck, but right now it’s calm. Nice and calm. I’m grateful as stressed out as I am drinking is never an option.
I’m grateful for the people who post their stories of relapse and then have the strength and courage to get back here. I’m grateful I read a couple of threads like that yesterday. I’m grateful for the reminder I can never have just 1. Never happened before. Not an option.
I’m grateful I got my car registered and California plates. I’m grateful I now know what and where to go and do for the next 2.
I’m grateful I got a separate room I can hang out in when I want to be away from my active alcoholic. I’m grateful I can invite her to come down and sit with me or tell her I’m going down there because I feel uncomfortable when you’re drinking. I’m grateful it’s not ideal. But it’s something.
I’m grateful for my lovely family here.
I’m grateful I will survive and grateful I will manage to enjoy as much of it as I can.
I’m grateful my children make the best parents in the world. I’m grateful I get to see them both together be amazing parents. I’m grateful there is only one thing missing in my life. So that’s not so bad.
Love you guys.
I’m grateful I made it over here today. This morning.

So grateful for those feathered messengers! Had cardinals and a pretty little turkey come to visit. The little birds bounced together, three pairs. When there is food in the feeder they dine together in pairs. I always think of my mother when I see them. Then a little turkey pops up. Cute girl, just staring at me, clucking and purring. She comes by often. I talk to her! 
She answers.
Something about it. Just made my heart happy, these joyous little birds. It meant something. When you drink your heart is hardened, your ego big and self esteem low. It cuts me off from my essence and from nature. Spirit. Art. Music. It’s all different now. And you want to give and help more now that the ego is deflated. That’s our purpose. Not chasing selfish things. I struggle with the ‘everyone for themselves’ mentality. There was nothing to do but block those sounds from my ears- the narcissists banging on about their toys, their money, who they know. I blocked it out by drinking, mindlessness, keeping my head down, hoping things would change. Until I couldn’t go on. The only way I can be true to myself and not be a superficial jerk is to get sober, get out and find people with kind hearts and some depth to them. There are lots of them on this app!
I’m grateful for these epiphanies. A blurry shape, but something new is forming . I’m starting to change drastically. Come alive.
Grateful for the food I have today.
Grateful for 131 days and all of you.

Wednesday gratitude.
A good night’s sleep
Waking up feeling refreshed
A low stress day
Getting things done early
A nice downpour early made it feel cooler out
An evening with nothing planned
The ability to find gratitude in a world where most people are self centered and could careless about anyone else!
