I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for a warm Alice on my lap.
I’m grateful I can wake up early for a 7:30 car appointment without an alarm.
I’m grateful I almost never have to use an alarm to get up.
I’m grateful I usually sleep well.
I’m grateful last night was no exception.
I’m grateful when I did wake up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go right back to sleep I focused on my breathing. Inhale for 3 or 4 seconds. Exhale for 6-8 seconds and it worked :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:
I’m grateful I get to go to an Al-Anon meeting today. I really need one.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon even though my wife is no longer drinking. I get it now.
I’m grateful I now understand how Al-Anon works whether the alcoholic is drinking or not.
I’m grateful it’s just life and a great tool to have in my tool box for every day life.
I’m grateful when 2/3 of the family were upset with the other 1/3 I wasn’t taking it personally and thought the other 1/3 was drawing a boundary. I’m grateful I didn’t think it was about us. I’m grateful I stayed out of the griping about the 1/3 but still listened to them. I’m grateful I thought later maybe I can remember to tell the 2/3 next time that maybe you’re right? But this time was not the time for that.
I’m grateful I stopped by.
Gotta go

What am I grateful for today?
I went cycling today. Yes, it was just a very short ride, yes, it still triggers a few of my illness symptoms, but also, yes, it makes me so happy. Cycling makes me so infinitely happy. I am endlessly grateful for that.
I’m grateful for my work, this iterative process I keep going through, and the prototypes I’m working on.
I am grateful for spring.
I’m grateful that my daughter was finally able to go to ballet again and is so happy about it.
I am grateful for my family and friends.
I am grateful for this life.

Grateful

That I connected with a good friend whom I used to talk to once a week and had no idea what happened to me, or why I wasn’t communicating.
My family loves me, whether they are telling me or not.
I always love them whether I tell them or not
Interesting steps taken toward a business I used to love and haven’t been involved in for a long time.
Taking action to talk to everyone I know, just to check in on them.
Life - it matters: Yours, mine, theirs, everyone’s.

Today I’m grateful for not being in the ER with migraine— it got real bad yesterday but it’s bearable today. I will do anything to avoid the hospital :confounded_face:

I’m also grateful for my dog. She has stayed by my side all day and night. My ā€œlilā€ anchor (she’s far from little :joy:).

Finally, I’m so grateful for this community. I will try to be more interactive on here. This app has really changed my perspective on addictions/recovery!

Grateful:

Through a local Veterans’ non-profit, I have received ten sessions with a counselor. I have never been to one, so we’ll see about that.
Slept pretty well.
Talked to both kids - their issues are hopefully temporary.
Am working to join the company I was in for about ten years.
Working on taking action not waiting for miracles.
You. Me.

What am I grateful for today?
I am grateful today how easy it sometimes is to be with friends, to laugh, to feel joy and to part when it is best.
I am grateful for my work, I am grateful for the process I work through, for learning this method of working. I am grateful for the tools I have. I am grateful for all the people who support me. I am grateful to be in this iterative process.
I am grateful to have had a lot of energy and a full day today.
I’m grateful that the day is almost over, that I’m tired, in that pleasant, fulfilling way, that the sun is about to set and I’m about to go to bed.
