Day 5 gratitude
I am grateful that all of my withdrawal symptoms are finally gone. One lapse with alcohol and it took me four full days of battling the repercussions. I’m pinning this as a reminder of what this does to my body and mind.
I am grateful that rather than getting into a fight with my partner last night I was able to journal and write down thoughts on a difficult discussion we will have this evening.
I am grateful that I’m not afraid.
I am grateful I have a supportive job, with the most amazing colleagues.
I am grateful that the unknown is a growing opportunity.
I am grateful that the sun is out.
I am grateful I can take deep breaths and have a clear mind.
I am one year sober today. I am extremely, extremely grateful for TS and all you fine people.
I especially want to thank @SassyRocks and @WilliamBloke and @Starlight14 and @BJonns for encouraging me when I did my first post over a year ago. You made me feel welcome .
Big gratitudes for @JazzyS and @Dazercat , you two have been so very helpful in so many ways, I admire you both so!
I’m so grateful for the support and love at this thread, the daily checking in thread, and the thread about loved ones with addictions.
There are so many others here I have so much respect and gratitude for, I can’t list you all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, everyone!
I’m grateful to feel better today, that I could get good work done on the trauma workbook and work some on the translation project. I’m grateful to hsve had a good walk…still didn’t feel physically up for a longer hike but the walking was nice. I’m grateful for being able to enjoy a really nice cup of Turkish coffee this morning.
Im greatful that hubby asked me if i was in the best shape of my life. My immediate answer was no but on further introspection DAMN i think im in the best shape of my life. Granted my tatas arent where they used to be but my weight is under control, im sober, eating healthy, and running miles like its my biz.

Amazing Patty…i could not be happier for you…you are an amazing lady…what youve achieved is incredible and i am so proud of you…im so glad our paths crossed on here…its a priveledge to know you
I’m grateful to be sitting comfortably on my couch with coffee and a curled up cat reading a David Goggins book about being tough.
I’m grateful for a day off tomorrow and a party with my friends, now I just have to decide what to contribute to the potluck.
I’m grateful I can contribute, here and in the real world.
I’n grateful for opportunities, for kindness and for grit.
What a day.
Today I’m grateful a horrible thunderstorm this afternoon didn’t cause damage, at least not what I can see by now. Will inspect the whole place on sunday. I’m grateful I was away on a very interesting workshop. I’m grateful I will shower and go to bed soon.
The ex obviously brought the big trailer back. How nice that this thing parks in front of the garage. Of course he did not say a word or check the forest or cover his cars … may the universe please solve this enervating situation. I’m tired. And I fucking hate summer.
I’m grateful this too shall pass. ODAAT
Today I am grateful I know this mood desaster is brought by hormones shifting and not by the world, or me, or anything. Everything is the way it’s supposed to be - even if I do not like it. There is nothing wrong or any cause for worries here. This will pass. I will stop feeling like a cave bear in hibernation mode at some point.
I also am grateful for my mind working reasonably well today. I did some good work in abstraction land
Grateful for friends, family and telephones. Grateful I can connect with people even from my cave.
I am grateful the morning was far better and I got to do my run, altogether 15min of jogging up and down the hills.
I am grateful for this place here, the community, all of you. Grateful for podcasts, anime and distractions.
I am sure I forgot something, but I am tired.
Grateful tomorrow is going to be another day.

you’re amazing
