Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #9

[BirdyBee]

Today I am grateful for:

• Waking up fresh and hangover free on New Year’s Day
• Living near a river where I can go in the morning time to watch the birds fishing for their breakfast
• The organic fruit and vegetables I got delivered to my door
• My new orange juicer (it’s the little things!)
• Two very sleepy cute creatures either side of me right now (one in dog flavour, one cat)

[EarnIt]

Grateful I am reasonably healthy.
Today is hard for focus, as stress and anxiety is hard. Grateful my car is paid for and something I am able to be in, regardless of what happens in my life.
Grateful for a New Year, where I have just decided things will be better. It’s really 365 days to work on that.
Grateful for you.
Grateful I know I have things to be grateful for. It’s a mess when things try to get in the way of the good things, which there are always more than not.
Grateful for hope.

Grateful to still be alive after my recent relapse, grateful to be sober again, grateful to have learned from it and what I need to do to prevent it again

[Madds]

Today I’m grateful for:

1. My sobriety, no physical cravings or hangovers
2. quiet mornings in a mostly empty gym to work out at a pace that works for me
3. A boss who cares about my wellbeing and lightens my work load when it’s unmanageable or very difficult
4. Employment that pays my bills and uses my skillset
5. The feeling of new beginnings and leaving the past behind that is ripe and clear today
6. Feeling a little excitement for the future (saturday) for the first time in over a month
7. Cheap horror films with good scares
8. Little adventures with the husband to get us both into the sunlight and being active in the community

On this New Year’s Day I’m grateful for:

A lovely, sober NYE with my boys

A family day at my mums

A crisp but fresh day

My bestie for checking in on me at midnight

A positive mindset, it had slipped but back on track now

Meditation

I hope you all had a blessed start to the New Year

I am grateful:

• My body is learning to feel hungry and full again.

• My sobriety keeps so much pain away from me.

• The @moderators keep this a safe space.

• I know the not so crowded places at the crowded pool, so I don’t get overwhelmed.

• I can listen to a ton of science based podcasts when I want to dig into something

Today I am grateful for the day I had. I focused on myself and what I wanted to do. I spent the day packing up the Christmas decor and putting the tree away. It was exhausting but it’s done.

I am grateful I had a slow morning. The kids grandpa picked them up for a 2 night sleepover and I am looking forward to a break for myself. To put time into me, to relax, to organize and do whatever I need to or want to do.

I am grateful for music. It distracts me just the way I need it. As I took down everything I listened to all the music I enjoy hearing.

I am grateful that I ordered takeout and decided on a lazy night. I haven’t binged on any shows lately and tonight I did with my dinner. It was very much needed. I just stayed on the couch, something I don’t get to do often.

I am grateful this time I get to myself.

Have a good night!

[Spidey]

Today I am grateful for:

• My first appointment with a therapist for a number of years. Can feel some of that weight lifted already.

• Today’s coffee

• Some alone time

[SK213]

I’m grateful that I understand a big part of my life is unnecessary pressure that others put on me. I only capable of so much and I wore myself way too thin to appease others.

I’m grateful that living in the present is top of mind. Future living and thinking about all the things I had to do, became overwhelming.

I’m grateful that not every moment of every day needs to have something to do. There is value in quiet time and rest. There is value in being alone.

I’m grateful that I feel good, my mind is strong and I have the grace of God.

Enjoy the day everyone!

Happy 6th year soberversary @Dazercat whoohoo. So very grateful for you! I am grateful to have you leading the way. Grateful for our friendship. Grateful for our chats. Thank you so much for being the lovely, caring amazing man that you are. You are appreciated

Thank you GratiJazz
@JazzyS

I’m so very grateful to get through my 5th year sober and on to my 6th year of sobriety.

I’m grateful year 5 was terrifying, hopeful, frightening, ecstatic, awful at times, so fucking joyous at times, and painful, and depressing, and wonderful, filled with love, filled with frustrations, and happiness, and at times brutal as all hell, yet it was a great year in some respects. It was way too lifey. I’m grateful I made it and never even thought of having a drink. I’m so grateful I don’t think like that anymore. The old me would have had so many reasons to get liquored up this year it probably would’ve killed me. I’m grateful I persisted.

I’m grateful I got my 3 lovely cats. I’m grateful life is easier in that respect
I’m grateful I still have a sober wife after 2025.
I’m grateful for my loving family here in town and the Dallas bunch.
I’m grateful to be able to watch my grandchildren grow.
I’m grateful I’m going to be a Pop Pop again in July.
I’m grateful for the miracle of IVF

I’m grateful for where I live.
I’m grateful we bought a condo and it’s the last time we buy one
I’m grateful we’ll sell the other one and hopefully break even or better.

I’m grateful to still be on talking sober.
I’m grateful I’m not on it as much as I use to be.
I’m grateful for all the terrific people on TS that have made my sobriety possible.
I’m grateful sharing what works for me with others keeps me sober.

I’m grateful the Dallas fam is going home today and I can get my house back and a little peace and quiet.

I’m grateful I know getting out of my comfort zone also helps me be better at my life.

I’m grateful I started a New Year’s resolution and maybe even a goal for this year, which I never do.

I’m grateful to share my goal right here.

Woo hoo! Congratulations on 5 years, Eric!

AA folks say we get our marbles back at 5. Not sure that was the case for me.
I resonate so much with your post. If I would have drank through some of the toughest times in sobriety (and life), I’d be dead.
Looking forward to this next chapter in your adventurous life, especially that new grandbaby in July. Much love, friend!

I got through my 5th

[Lisa07]

OMG! I’m such an idiot. We are at 6 years.
I’m losing it. Sorry! See that just goes to show I haven’t got my marbles back yet.
Congratulations on 6 years!

[DanielaJ]

I am grateful you are here and I can learn from you. Big hugs!!!

[Dazercat]
