Finding the courage to make changes despite what anyone else might think. Donāt let that fear of someone not liking you/rocking the boat keep you stuck!
Filling my firewood before the arctic blast.
Another quiet day at the office.
A good gym session that began with me not wanting to be there and ended with endorphins.
Beginning to consider some reasonable goals for the next year. More journaling to be done!
Setting a new milestone in my weight loss on the last day of the year. So motivating!
-My MIL is babysitting my daughter today, saving me a holiday day. Daycare closed for two weeks Iām less grateful for
-my physical fitness is 10 out of 10. Honestly, I need that win right now. I need it.
-my nutrition is great.
-my home is beautiful and comfortable
-Finishing 2025 with just under two months on this current sober streak
-pushing through challenges is making me stronger. I will survive today. I canāt assume I will wake up tomorrow rested, but I canāt believe I will do what I can to make it through the day, and thrive when the time for that comes.
Peace and love to you from me on your last day of 2025, and your first day of 2026.
Last day of the year. I am grateful for being alive.
I am grateful for the short day at work.
We had plans for our evening as we are snowed in so would have made it fun however we can for the kids to enjoy. My husband ruined that. I was sad, pissed off the most of the time because he chose not to talk to me and just go out and do as he felt. I am married to an alcoholic and I donāt know what to do in moments like this. My feelings are through the roof as he was doing really well as far as I know and out of nowhere this happened. I didnāt let him ruin the night with the kids, I went on cooking and baking just as I had planned but without him around us.
I am grateful that I calmed myself down. I am grateful that I kept my focus on what I needed to do for myself and my kids and I got it all done. I am not perfect, but I will always do what I can to bring calmness to my soul.
He clearly still lies to me and chooses to blame me because he couldnāt admit or say he messed up. Couldnāt say I am sorry. This is a hard part for me because I had built trust back with him and now I feel like that fell apart again.
I am grateful that I can still spend and enjoy the night with my kids. They enjoyed everything I made for them. Am I sad he isnāt around like he was all the other days? Yes I am but that is out of my control as he made his choice.
The feeling I had to feel tonight is not one I wanted on NYE. It broke my heart but he wouldnāt understand this.
I am grateful that I will enjoy the rest of the night with my kids.
Grateful for this. I am so sorry for your husbandās actions and behavior. . Much love friend. I am grateful that you and your kids enjoyed time togetherā:folded_hands:t4:
I am so very grateful for my family, their unconditional love and support. For them always showing up for me and being by my side. I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful for my faith and my daily pray/ meditation practices. I am so very grateful for my health. Past few years have been challenging and I am not where I need to be but Iām so very grateful that my ailments led me to sobriety and to healthier eating habits.
I am so very grateful for being strong enough to quit smoking over 4 years ago and finally becoming fully sober over 3 years ago. So very grateful for how much living sober has given back to me. I am learning to live in the uncomfortable and love all parts of me ..the good, bad and the ugly. Grateful to be healing my body, mind and spirit. I am so very grateful for laughter. Grateful for how laughter has helped me overcome some dark moments. Grateful for how llt and happy I feel after I am able to laugh things out. I am so very grateful for my tools that have helped me in healingā¦swimming, walking when I am able, yoga stretches, deep breathing.
I am so very grateful for this community. So very grateful for all you beautiful souls and all the lovely support and help I receive here daily. Grateful for all the beautiful friendships I have made here over the years.

Grateful for:
A sober new yearās eve at work. I remember being so hungover on January 1st so many times no mas!
The day off to spend with family and furs
The iced coffee I have for me waiting in my car to enjoy when I leave work
To be alive.. life is so fragile and everyday is a blessing not a promise, just watch the news..
Being able to enjoy life again
Being excited about the future more than I used to be anyway
Bad days leading to better days which may lead back to bad days and then better days again!

Today Iām so grateful for:
My morning coffee and feeling pretty darn good in my body for turning the corner on 42 in a few days.
Sipping my coffee near the woodstove and reading a book to ring in the new year.
Getting to take my son to the movies today because my job gives me the day off.
Going through one of the hardest years of my life with a new take on sobriety and having gratitude at the end of 2025 in spite of all the difficulties.
My health. I was never awful at taking care of myself but more mindful eating and intentional weight training has truly made so much difference in my mood and my outlook.
Read your post with sadness for you and understanding. So glad you think of the kids and do what you can to keep your spirits up and positive. I am not married to an alcoholic just a big bully who can be an ass most days. I prayed this morning that he be a tiny bit kinder in 2026.
I am glad you can share here and take care of you.
. Much love friend. I am grateful that you and your kids enjoyed time togetherā:folded_hands:t4:
