Jazzy… be careful. Do you have a plan for this shower danger from not happening again? Your legs can handle only so much after “50000 steps”. Hopefully not too bruised up

CONGRATS!!! So happy that your 6 years of this BS is finally over and you WON 
You have the all the time to celebrate. 
@davina_davis Thank you – grateful it wasn’t worse. I do feel cleansed after the cry. Way to go on your 200 days! SO happy for you. Hope today was a easy day back at work.
@tailee Awe thanks love. I am hoping to put in some slip pads but honestly don’t know what happened. Just got in the shower with the water running (as I always wait for the temp to be perfect) and then I was on my way out LOL. I will work on other possible ways to make my space safer.
So grateful for this beautiful day of being alive
I am grateful that i was able to get some rest last night. It was a lot of tossing and turning but i got in some good rest.
I am so grateful that I woke up to thunderstorms that allowed me to sleep and rest my body as I was not going to walk.
I am so grateful that my mom accompanied me for my delivery today. It was good to have some time with her.
I am so grateful that the weather changed and I did get in my walk after all. It was not easy but was good to move.
I am so grateful for a lovely breakfast with my mom as I waited for someone to come buy my lawnmower. Grateful that i told him to return it when he said it wasn’t working - got in some Stabil and had the sucker running (told him it had been sitting idle for over a year). Grateful he was happy and kept his purchase.
I am so grateful for a long nap today.
I am so grateful for getting caught up on my accounting.
I am so grateful for not beating myself up for not doing much moving or activity today.
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful for my faith and commitment to my spiritual awareness.
I am so grateful for my family and all the love and support i get from them.
I am so grateful for this community! You guys ROCK!
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening — sending you all so much love

2 pm and already time for lotsa gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I left the bed 12 hours ago to take a shower. Had a good sleep afterwards.
I’m grateful the alarm released me from a horrible, frightening nightmare. Up I was and off to the tractor for mowing. I’m grateful I got a few new spots mowed, this mowing the farm thing is work in progress. I’m grateful I get practice and discover what works - or not (so good). Step by step. At my pace.
I’m grateful for a long talk with a neighbour who came along with his dog while I was watering plants. It steered up some emotions as we partly talked about my ex and the period he was living alone on the farm. I’m grateful for a good cry in the car on my way downtown.
I’m grateful for the appointment with my counselor. I got lots to think about, very helpful. I’m grateful I got to celebrate yesterday’s good news with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, delicious breakfast and more tea! I like to celebrate like this 
I’m grateful I returned an amazon buy for the first time in my life! I’m grateful it is very easy.
I’m grateful for a short chat with the elderly neighbour when I fetched the mail from the townhouse. Oh my God, this house & garden need cleaning. I’m grateful it can wait longer, I do the best I can and this part is too much at the moment. I’m at my limits with heat, summer depression and the things I get done. I’m grateful I take good care of myself.
In no particular order I’m grateful for: showers, catlove, plants, reliable things and people including myself, internet access, flexibility, physical condition not bad, fridge, tea, mindfulness, rest, fizzy drinks, comfy couch, parcel delivery, compression stockings, changeing back to my old vein meds and finding instant relief, waxed legs, being home, having a home I love, doing first things first, smiles, joy, connection.

Most grateful I was outside yesterday evening when I heard a 25 pound splash and saw Benson in the deep end of my swimming pool panicking. He couldn’t get out. I really don’t think he would have made it 
I’m grateful we never let our dogs out alone we always go with them. I’m grateful for my hearing.
I’m grateful to be up early as we are hopefully maybe planning a beach trip with baby. I’m grateful baby, toddler now, is teaching me a great lesson in being flexible.
I’m grateful they all went to the beach yesterday with toddler and dogs and wifey and I were home alone with handyman.
I’m grateful Gus got in the swimming pool with Pop Pop. Twice briefly. This was HUGE. it’s a start.
Grateful for the loud purring coming from the 18 year old cat girl 
from across the room, even with my meditation music on.
I’m grateful I been listening to so much meditation, chants, mantras etc… I wake up with them as peaceful ear worms and can call on them anytime during the day now.
I’m grateful for trash pick up day yesterday. And every Monday. Still overwhelmed with boxes and packing materials but we are getting there.
I’m grateful for cordless lamps. I’m grateful wifey found 2 gorgeous ones to tie into our great room and make it 
complete.
I’m grateful for the blessings of this house and home and the area where I live and my life here in California. I’m grateful for the uncomfortable feeling that this is it. I’ve spent a lot of my life moving across and around this country. I’m grateful I have no desire to move again.
I’m grateful to be able to make it over here today. I miss you guys. I’m grateful gratitude is always on my mind now and is just a way of sober life. I’m grateful I now know what it’s like to just read gratitude and not be able to keep up here. Grateful for y’all.
To be disengaged from what others are choosing to do will give me extra time to do what I need to do today. That’s the primary lesson I am here to learn. I know it and believe it. I will practice it today.

OMG! Grateful you were there to rescue him. I know this fear all too well living on a lake. We never let our pup out alone and we’re constantly watching him when we’re outside unleashed. We had one incident where he jumped in about a week after moving in and scared the crap out of me. There’s a huge snapping turtle we named bubbles that would eat him for lunch.

I’m grateful for getting goos exercise today- had a hike, rode the horse for a while and then enthusiastically weeded the garden. I’m grateful for the translation I’m working on right now and the ideas it’s bringing for me. I’m grateful cardomon coffee and lavender earl grey cookies. I’m grateful for feeling hopeful today despite my anxiety. I’m grateful for being English speaking and that so many resources are available to me. I’m grateful for my dogs. I’m grateful for my neighbor who darned the holes in my clothes for me. I’m grateful for korut and airan

I am grateful for a kitty on my chest, my husband next to me and a kitty at my feet when I wake up. Don’t read anything into the fact that I mentioned the kitty first.
I am grateful that year two of my sobriety is forcing me to acknowledge my self worth issues. If I don’t look at them they will eat me alive. So I’ll look.
I’m grateful I can put here that I’ve been dishonest in my sobriety claims. Alcohol free for 800+ days yes, but I was using THC drinks as a crutch for the past 1/2 year. Just like my other substances this one got away from me (is anyone surprised) and contributed to my weekend breakdown. So here I go, totally sober day 3. Fuck.
I’m grateful I know that I will always choose escape so lets cultivate healthy ones; journaling, exercise, I’ll even take over scheduling myself with social engagements although not for a while. I think this internal turn is trying to either kill me or tell me something.
Maybe it is time to start actually liking my own company rather than running from it.
I’m grateful for any addict today doing their best out there. I hear you and I am you. Lets do this sober thing. And coffee, sunshine, a safe home and air conditioning on a hot day. I am always grateful for these things.

Day 200. I am grateful that I will find a place and a job, or get my ass in gear working for myself. I am grateful I didn’t publicly lose it when I learned that this home was listed, without telling me. I am grateful that I believe the universe has meant this year’s maximum change to happen. There’s a tidbit in my day measurement on where I stand this year. I am thankful that historical/personality me doesn’t fall due to challenges - challenges bring new dynamics and good memories.
I am grateful that a majority of me is healthy and needs to eat properly. I am grateful that taste or smell lacking, I am still a kick ass cook - just ask my daughter.
I am grateful that no one was here by my side making decisions easy. I don’t think I was born or raised that way. And regardless of all the other things happening, I am back into my Master’s Degree which I have switched study to Organizational Sociology and Psychology - because it matters to me.
I am happy to be a Noodle 
, and I am happy for this group, too.

I’m grateful for my dogs who are cuddled up next to me sleeping and looking cute.
