A job to do that feels good for my community and also supports me financially. I need to earn the role Iām trying to fill by sticking to it and staying clean.
Keeping my mind, eyes and ears open for what I might be called to do. And learning to let go of my selfish desires.
Getting through the new normal of the holidays as a split household. And for talking myself through them with a mostly constructive inner dialogue.
Having my gym to go to. In this little town itās an amazing amenity to have.
Finding some steadiness in sobriety. Real unadulterated sobriety. Not Cali sober, not justified exceptions. And being able to take it one day at a time. Iām not gonna sort out 25+ yrs of addictive behavior all at once.
Slowly building some confidence and having a voice inside that has the strength (most days) to drown out the negativity so that I find a way to take the next step rather than give up trying.
Iām grateful for all the housecleaning I got done yesterday.
Iām grateful I got everything cleaned up a head of my house cleaners, including all my Christmas stuff so they could do a real good clean following me. The house was a disaster after a 3 toddler Christmas.
Iām grateful I was too tired to put up the tree and it looks good in the corner with no other Christmas decorations.
Iām grateful Iāll get to it when I can.
Iām grateful for ice as I over did it and the back was screaming. Iām grateful the ice shut that down rather quickly.
Iām grateful my wrist doesnāt hurt today from all the over doing yesterday.
Iām grateful for sunshine.
Iām grateful for YouTube.
Iām grateful I googled how to charge my Samsung remote. Itās solar! Who knew? Iām grateful I remembered to put it in the sun this morning and hope it works.
Iām grateful Iām turning into one of those goofy people walking around with their 40 ounce insulated water thingy with a straw Iām grateful Iām drinking more water baby!!
Iām grateful Iām going to my al-anon meeting. Really donāt want to go. Not feeling the connection but I know I need my ass in a seat. Iām grateful there will be a seat for me there.
Love everything about this post! Way to go with your 31 years of sobriety! Well done with 10 months of not smoking You are outstanding - keep up the amazing work
missed that postā¦.. Glad it sounds you made it through and healingā¦ It is so muddy around here you should see how I take tiny steps in yard so as not to fallā¦. It is true with age I have to be more aware of every movementā¦. A body in motion.. is a must to maintain health in seniorism. Just no slipping, sliding and fallingā¦.
Iām presently sitting outside getting sun, getting a bit of rare āmeā time on the sunniest mid-day weāve had in weeks.
Resetting in a healthy way after addressing some relationship problems, and not sulking.
I have a fridge full of leftovers and groceries, and motivation to cook for my daughter and me on our solo 5 days together
Spotify radio suggestions at home, and Sirius radio in my car have been giving me back jams I love, and steering me toward some great new ones the last couple of days
My daughter and I are healthy
My wife woke me up at 3AM to feel our 20-week baby in her belly having a dance party. I gave her a green light to wake me anytime for that!
Today Iām grateful for:
~Sponsor chats & check ins
~Fox messengers
~Prayer
~Having the obsession lifted
~Connecting with other alcoholics on a daily basis
~Snowblowers
~Him actually taking my 4wd car when it snows this year
~My snow pants fitting much better this time
~Being back to regularly moving my body after what feels like forever with these colds
~Recovery messages shared
~Getting ārandomā messages from numerous loved family members
~Giving my higher power the reigns
~Dreams

So grateful today. I had $650 cash to make a loan payment but used some for groceries. Bj paid her rent and wanted to contribute to my grocery bill as she eats with us. . I can make my payment. Big job for hubby should come through in the next week. I am overwhelmed with tasks todo but taking it 1 step at a time. I committed myself to pool class tonight and want to stay true to that. 681 days sober. Wow! I have been working again steps 1-3 in my head recently will try to journal some to move on to Step 4. I could never achieve living as I do now drunk.
Iām grateful Iām drinking more water baby!!
