Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

Day 20 and I’m feeling grateful about it. Grateful that I’m healthy and I’m able to run and to take long walks. Grateful that I don’t have to wake up to hangovers anymore. Day at a time. Yay!

I’m grateful for today being a good day- I felt myself and confident. I’m grateful for a good meeting this morning. I’m grateful for the rainy day and the fresh snow I can see on the mountains. I’m grateful for pots of cardomon tea and watermelon. I’m grateful for good conversations with friends. I’m grateful that I do have positive memories. I’m grateful for music and books.

I am well. Celebrated 5 months yesterday. Hubby had congratulations for me and nice to know he sees the effort needed to stay on the sober trail. We had a great dinner out and when we got home he went outside and brought me this…

Fuck! That is a lot of cleaning dicing and bagging or cooking. I do love it though.

Grateful for today. And every day that I have been sober so far. Just saw your “1 day” post @Steve14 and it has quite inspired me. Thank you!

A weekend of rest. Spent with my dogs and people I love. xx

Things I am grateful for today.

I woke up early, did my morning yoga, my run, my meditation. I love this morning schedule and how easy all of this is in the summer. I love those summer days.

Did my weekly review, looking back, taking stock, looking forward. The flow of things.

Had nice chats with my daughter, all her ideas for stories. She is just marvellous.

Spend some time at the pool, talked to a friend. Had one of those very emotional talks with my ex about heart break. This is not easy, but this is how it goes. This is life. I love life.

A good intermediate yoga session, focus on breath, focus on movement, focus on body. Then breathwork and meditation. Grounding me in the present moment.

Breathing through anxieties, fears, upsets. Just breathing and doing life.

Looking forward to Recovery Dharma this evening.

This day. This life.

Sleep tight sober friends :night_with_stars:

Happy Sunday my sober peeps!
So very grateful to be digging in and finding my gratitude’s today…I am so very grateful for:

  • my 19+ months of total sobriety
  • 1000 days of no smoking. So grateful for breathing clean and healthy air. For kicking this addiction and finding the strength and motivation to attempt becoming completely sober
  • for my comfy bed - spending a lot of time here this weekend as i’m not feeling so hot. Grateful this will pass
  • for leftover pizza and a air fryer that heats it up so great - almost better than the original
  • realizing my weighing machine is more high tech than i realized and i just needed to download an app :woman_facepalming:
  • had a bad emotional day a few days ago and baked up a great healthy batch of scones, muffins and sugar free cookies
  • baked goods were what i needed today as i have hard cravings for chocolate / sugar - now i see why LOL
  • Trying a new non alcoholic red wine which sooo tasted like the real thing that i had to stop. I thought this is what i would want but it just made me want the real thing. Not happening - not losing my streak. Not needing to be sucked into a dark hole.
  • For my family - their support and unconditional love. The may not understand this addiction disease but they know I’m working hard and can see the progress.
  • My HP! For my faith and connection. For me not giving up on my faith or on myself.
  • This community and all of YOU wonderful souls

Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:
