Well, I almost started the day off here but decided I ought to get some stuff done first and now it’s night Either way, today I’m grateful for…
-Waking up with less pain than usual
-The weight that’s been lifted after speaking to my exes roommate and finding out everything is being taken care of while he’s in jail
-The new members I met and served at work who repeatedly mentioned how refreshing my positive attitude was
-Feeling free enough to discuss my sobriety with anyone at anytime
-My parents, who take care of my daughter while I’m at work bc I could never do it without them
-Getting to work outside on such a beautiful day
-The leftover food we can take home after a buffet
-The fact that my cat’s hairball situation seems to be improving
-The coolness that came with nightfall after a very hot day
-Opening this gas/electric bill this morning
Today I’m grateful for the new meeting I joined. I like in person meetings and a new one opened in my city on Wednesdays. It is nice to start the day off with this
Grateful for Talking Sober.
Grateful for sober friends I can call for checkins.
I’m grateful to wake up sober and hangover free after going to a great pub we discovered over here.
I’m grateful I can get The Al-Anon forum on my kindle. It’s a monthly pamphlet/magazine with real stories of experience strength and hope.
I’m grateful for all the stuff I got put together yesterday as the plumbers were here all day. Again I’m grateful the catio furniture looks great. I’m grateful I can still put children’s furniture toy boxes play scapes etc…… together. I thought I was out of that business. I’m grateful wifey has the nursery all set up. I thought I was out of that business too. I’m grateful I don’t know or care if it will be used much it looks great and we are ready.
I’m grateful I’m not trying to bite off more than I can chew. Although we got a shit ton going on. I’m grateful I am spacing this shit out.
I’m grateful I got my walk in with Benson yesterday.
I’m grateful for my espresso in the morning as I get my pet chores done. I’m grateful for my cuppa in peace after getting my morning chores done.
I’m grateful I said yes when wifey ask to stop at the store after dinner last night. I’m grateful she said I could wait in the car. I’m grateful it made me feel sad. Like the walk of shame to buy wine. I’m grateful I’m ok with that boundary even if I think maybe I’m enabling her. I’m grateful things with us are going well, real well, and there is no point in saying no when I can just stop at the Albertsons on the way home and sit in the car. I’m grateful for this first. I’m grateful I think if my back didn’t hurt I might have just gone in with her.
I’m grateful I been married to this wonderful woman for 41 years today. I’m grateful I cannot imagine a life without her. I’m grateful I love my wife

I’m grateful for a smooth and easy travel today (even got on the right plane this time🤣). I’m grateful to be in Uzbekistan again as it’s a place I really love and is special to me. I’m grateful that my Uzbek family greeted me at the airport and immediately took me in for a delicious meal at their home. I’m grateful that they also accepted my friend. I’m so grateful for them. This is a family I meant several years ago traveling in Uzbekistan and they knew I had no parents so sorta ‘adopted’ me as their own and I know I’m always welcome in their home. I’m grateful for delicious plov made my favorite way and for being able to now rest. I’m grateful that my anxiety has been low. I’m grateful that the guest house I’m staying in has running water and a shower! I’m grateful it’s not too hot here yet. I’m grateful for this group and how supportive and encouraging everyone has been.
Quick gratitude list today:
Sobriety. A healthy mind and a healthy body. Good fruits and veggies. The occasional pizza. The ability to pivot and change when old ways no longer work. Kitties. The feeling of relief when a busy week is over. The camaraderie of struggle. The dictionary app on my phone which eventually helped me out with camaraderie, at first it was stumped.
Onward soberinos!

Grateful for the sobriety meeting I was able to attend this morning. I get a lot from speaking with the guys at the meeting: it means a lot to open up and share; to give up our addiction thinking and to sympathize with each other.
Grateful for my wife, who cooked some delicious liver tonight. I haven’t had liver in years. My mom cooked it when I was young; it reminds me of her and of my childhood at home.
Grateful for the kind folks here on Talking Sober, who understand. Thx guys
