I’m grateful even though she is still sober I can tell I still need Al-Anon meetings especially since I haven’t been to one for a while.
I’m grateful changed behavior aids recovery :mending_heart:
I’m grateful as I wait for things to settle down in my life I continue to realize things never settle down.
I’m grateful life is in session and I am so blessed in so many ways at this point of my sober life.

Wednesday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for:

  • Up way earlier than normal to walk the dog, feed all pets, shower, run my morning routine AND be on time at 7 a.m. in town. Yes, it’s possible :folded_hands:
  • The town gardens got mowed
  • Breakfast at IKEA
  • No migraine allthough the weather hits me hard, feeling groggy, wobbly, lack of concentration, bad sight.
  • Loving cats who purr at me and wanna cuddle
  • Dog behaved very well today, he is a good, big, lovely, farting, snorring boy
  • A long nap after the long dogwalk, I needed it
  • My safe, reliable car. It got washed and filled up today.
  • My shrink, it was a helpful and good appointment today.
  • I’m deeply grateful I let the house being a bit messy without feeling bad about it, I’m not able to vacuum or clean today.
  • Rest
  • Early to bed

What am I grateful for today? I am grateful for the clouds, the sky and the changing weather. I am grateful for spring, for April, for the rain, for the sun. I am grateful for my work, for all the creativity and all the support I have. I am grateful for my energy. I am grateful for naps. I am grateful for the people around me. And I am grateful to all those who support me on my path through life.

I am grateful today
Hold on I am thinking…:blush:

Ok found some gratitude
Woody my cat is hanging out with the chicks - all is calm
Grateful I have some time to clean up the mess I made last night looking for my homeowners insurance policy. Found it and marriage license after ordering a new copy yesterday morning
Grateful I am handling my stress (much last few days) without even thinking about drinking. Running away? Yes but not to drink.
Grateful I want to clean up the kitchen (it needs it)
Really grateful after very heated hateful contact with hubby I can sweep under the rug and start anew always waiting for the next round every day. Funny how when he needs me to do something he hides the cruelty for the moment.
Grateful I can be happy, smile and laugh with myself.

I’m grateful for another sober hangover free morning. Coffee and mantra music, and Benson on the couch with me.

I’m grateful I journaled this morning. It’s been one week since my last entry. That’s ok. I’m grateful I didn’t get down on myself about it. I’m grateful I added journaling to my morning recovery routine and do it when I do it.

I’m grateful my morning routine is changeable and not as rigorous as it use to be.

I’m grateful for the wrought iron arched trellis across the way and its pink roses blooming. I’m grateful for all the white roses around here. I’m grateful I get to live 10 minutes from the Pacific Ocean over here. I’m grateful this area is still so new to me and I get to go out and explore it by myself.

I’m grateful I now love going out exploring by myself. I’m grateful the wife would rather sleep in or stay home and get things done around here. I’m grateful for all the chores she does around the house. I’m grateful I get my shit done too. I’m grateful our chores are different and there’s nothing to compare.

I’m still grateful for “to compare is to despair.”

I’m grateful we get to clean up and go home today.

I’m grateful the lights are always on and welcoming here.
