Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #8 🪷

[acromouse]

Today’s gratitude.

The panic attacks I am suffering from right now are not something I really enjoy But I am very grateful I have tools and people around me I can use so that I am able to lead a realatively normal life nonetheless. Although my night was a bit wild and my morning also with many bouts of anxiety related discomfort I managed to do the things I care for. I am grateful for that. I did my morning prayer, movement and meditation. I took care of my child, talked to my ex.

I am leaning into the idea of radical acceptance. Instead of getting into the trance like narratives in my head about how awful anxiety, panic and my life are, I lean into the idea, that there is nothing wrong with me, with what I feel, what I experience. This really does help to see all the good in my life. I am very grateful for this perspective.

I went on a hike, the second half of a geologically themed trail in my city. I love those Sunday hikes where life is quiet and slow. I am grateful I had this opportunity, grateful I can experience my surroundings and the seasons in this way. Walking is magical for me.

Did my weekly review. Grateful I had the time and energy for that. I have been feeling faily energetical the last weeks. Grateful for that.

Enjoyed a loooong YinYoga session. Love to do those after the hike. Grateful for these lessons available online.

We just had dinner, my ex?, our daughter and I. I am grateful our relationship is moving into something I would like to explore further. I am grateful I am feeling like I could trust and love again. I am grateful for the life coming back into our home.

Today with the help of the other mods here on TS I took care of a first post. It’s a lot to wrap my head around. But I am grateful for this opportunity, for the responsibility I can take. Very, very grateful for the wonderful and helpful people in the mod team who are taking me by the hand and showing me the ropes.

The day is coming to an end. I am grateful for this day, grateful for this life.

Sleep tight sober friends

[StillMarching]

I fell, but I’m thankful that I get up full of willingnes to fight and found some healing materials to explore.

Grateful for another day sober.

Grateful I was able to replace the zipper thingy on my jacket. The original was made of cheep metal and snapped off. Grateful for Amazon same day delivery.

Grateful I made it home last night when my car wasn’t running right.

Grateful my husband’s friend is a mechanic and he’ll see about fixing it tonight.
Grateful I won’t stress about it.
Grateful for Uber if it’s not ready by morning when it’s time to go to work.
Grateful for Uber if it is ready so I won’t have to inconvenience hubby at 5am.

Grateful I’m finally ready to bite the bullet and buy a new car. Started looking at local dealers’ inventory online today. Now to get my ass there during the week and complete the process. Oh how I hate the process, but grateful I’m finally in a position that I can afford to do it and so is my credit score. Couldn’t make ends meet 2 years ago, so this is a huge win.

Grateful my daughter is loving her new day program.

Grateful for @acromouse and her willingness to jump in the moderator role. She’s settling in nicely and a great asset to our team. Shhh! Don’t tell her it can get a bit hairy at times. But no worries! We’re all in this together and support each other along the way.

Grateful for everyone here helping to keep me sober another day.

I’m grateful for the most gorgeous cup of coffee this morning.
I’m grateful I enjoyed it in peace. Just me and my coffee……. And Alice
I’m grateful for my quiet 2 minute breathing meditation right after with a warm Mavy on my lap and a loudly purring Alice in her heated bed and I could hear the cat fountain trickle.
I’m grateful Mavy is asleep on my lap and keeping me warm.
I’m grateful for my ice pack on my back. Feels good.
I’m grateful I still have a nice view of my garden. The purple sage grows like a gangly teenager.
I’m grateful for the neighbors Christmas lights on their house across the street. Same model home. Not over done but just right, with red and green and some white lights sprinkled in.
I’m grateful I got out for a hike in my hood yesterday and really enjoyed it.
I’m grateful I think I might have seen the hummingbird fly into the blind spot between the 2 front windows.
I’m grateful it really helps me to live in the present.
I’m grateful this gratitude practice helps me do that.
I’m grateful to continue the practice of doing what’s going to make me happy. I think there is a bathroom and exercise/office room that need cleaning and that could make me happy to get done today.
I’m grateful I can see Benson on the purple Mexican blanket asleep on the gray couch nice and peacefully.
I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful she didn’t drink yesterday.
I’m grateful for the gray weather this morning.
I’m grateful for you all.

Knowing what is not our business is a glorious realization.
Let Go Now

[Laner]

I’m grateful

• that I’m alive, healthy and sober
• that the community here comes together and helps when a crisis happens
• for being reminded of my humanity
• for my friend S
• for a wonderful cup of coffee with cardamom

[erntedank]

Monday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for

• Got an extra trash pick up. Sometimes the neighbour community’s trash pickup takes my trash bin too as I’m the first house belonging to the next community along the street. Different communities, different collection schedules. I’m grateful for it because I stuffed my trash bin yesterday when I was tidying outside.

• Cats. The fluffballs are cute, lovely, full of mischief and adorable. We had a lot of fun and cuddles today.

• Adulting. I allowed myself to rest for most of the day and fumbled on necessary chores & office stuff to stay up to date.

• Flexibility. I nearly missed the massage appointment in the morning and asked myself what the fuck I thought scheduling something on monday morning. I’m grateful the massage was wonderful. I’m grateful I’m flexible enough to welcome the green wonderwuzzi tomorrow. It will be delivered mid morning. OMG I’m excited and curious! I didn’t expect it this week.

• Faith. I’m grateful for faith. I have faith in my future. It’s nothing tangible, just a feeling coming from within. I ordered more roses very early today as I was up way too early again. I need more roses here on the farm. Me and roses are inseparable, all my homes have/had roses. Now my farm gets a proper amout of rose bushes. 10 is too little.

• Balance. I’m grateful I work on finding my balance. I’m grateful I go with the flow like today. I’m grateful I give myself credit for mastering all that happened this year, it was incredibly much. I’m grateful I get to rest & recover now, I need my annual timeout badly.

I’m grateful for tea, food, a warm house, cozy furniture, modern amenities, sunshine in winter, connection, chitchat, naps, my reliable car, that I can afford to pay the bills, living my best life. ODAAT

[TrustyBird]

I’m grateful for baklava with my morning coffee. Sugar in the morning is a treat for me.
I’m grateful for a lovely restful weekend with people who were able to help me carry the grief of my Mom’s death. I feel lighter and more able to handle life.
I’m grateful for 8 years of marriage this week. I’m grateful this will be a quiet Thanksgiving and a short week.

[JazzyS]

@erntedank

asked myself what the fuck I thought scheduling something on monday morning. I’m grateful the massage was wonderful.

Lol … seriously…no major things should be handled or scheduled for Monday mornings. Glad you remembered and enjoyed your massage.
I too love rose’s and agree 10 is not enough . I had plannted about 17 when I got my home. Just can’t get enough

[JazzyS]

Baklava and coffee…a wonderful way to start the day. Glad you had a enjoyable weekend.

Happy anniversary week ! 8 years is remarkable

[MrMoustache]

Today I’m really grateful for my dear friend who also started his sober path. We have shared thoughts and experiences and I’m so grateful I have him in my recovery team. I’m grateful that I have so awesome medical team, a doctor and a psych nurse who have helped me tremendously. We had a meeting today and it went great. I’m grateful that I’m on a spiritual path which helps me healing my wounded soul. And like always, I’m grateful to be alive! Sobriety rules!

Monday gratefulness

I am so very grateful for waking up and taking it easy. I was not ready to seize the day. Enjoyed one cup of coffee in my quiet mental space and then another while enjoying a call with my cousin in England
I am so very grateful for remembering a cousin’s bday and sending out birthday wishes. Found out later that he had left the cousins group and is no responding to anyone. Started a bit of family drama. Glad I did not feed into any of it! No energy for that shit
I am so very grateful for my siblings. They are too sweet and i am blessed. They got me some amazing new walking shoes. I have heard that Hoka’s are a good brand and everyone is raving about them but I felt they were too expensive. My siblings bought me a pair for my birthday. They arrived almost 3 weeks early. Love the color and the style – haven’t had a chance to try them on but will do so tomorrow
I am so very grateful for getting 95% of the food prep for Thanksgiving dinner done. Tomorrow will be desserts and then I will have time to clean the house on Wednesday – DUDE - so looking forward to Friday and doing nothing LOL
I am so very grateful for black out curtains. SO grateful that with my crap sleep I don’t have to wake up to the bright sun.
I am so very grateful for selling a few more items today. Slow and steady. Grateful I didn’t let the gentleman who kept changing the time for pick up get me riled up.
I am so very grateful that my brother made a yummy lunch which I enjoyed for dinner. A little late dinner for me which is ok cause it is not a normal thing for me and I will make sure to try and digest some before falling asleep.
I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful for my connection to Him and my faith in Him.
I am so very grateful for this community, my family and friends.
I am so very grateful for warm clothes and heating. We are dropping 30 degrees overnight so gotta be prepared for the weather tomorrow.

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