Grateful:
Dogs and cats everywhere.
It’s yard day, so more exercise and more sleep. I still need to catch up.
Leftover salad. I make a damn good salad. Even without the taste, it’s so pretty.
Working with a disability lawyer - may help, may not…it is note that I am not alone in this world.
My 3rd Masters’ program starting soon, not getting my 3rd - but starting a 3rd time.
Knowledge that I can and cannot accept roles professionally
Remembering I have a ton of coaching teaching available at my fingertips.
Knowing what I want and that I need action toward it, not just to think about it.
More medical appointments than I have had since my accident - that’s some action right there.
Knowing fear doesn’t help with much.
You.

Grateful for the TalkingSober community, grateful for my girlfriend not spending way too long getting ready for gym, grateful for the civic holiday today 
Also grateful for my sense of smell slowly coming back after 4 years of heavy cocaine abuse
My sense of smell still isn’t quite there yet, but I noticed it sorta coming back because my girlfriend and I stayed at some airbnb type thing at Niagara Falls this weekend and I remember sleeping and in my sleep I woke up for a sec and was like “wow, these bedsheets smell awful! Wait, I can smell things again!!!” LOL yikes

- Pockets of peace and quiet in a full house

Tuesday lunchtime gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I feel more stable than yesterday. I had a restful night and was quite calm by the time going to bed. I’m grateful some nice crime on TV always helps me to unwind. I’m grateful for meditation and reflecting. I’m grateful I do make choices and decisions. I’m grateful that I feel better when I have a plan. I’m grateful I could let go the fury and resentments towards my ex yesterday. Life feels better without. Not to lie, it was hard work using many tools yesterday. I’m grateful that I am past codependent dwelling in such destructive emotions. 194 days sober of codependent behaviour, I’m grateful for each day and every codependent hickup I overcame.
I’m super grateful how the paving construction site proceeds, professionals at work. I’m grsteful we double checked the plan and double discussed some details. Not so grateful my idiotic dog snapped one worker in the ass who walked too close to him 
No harm done but geeeez, fuck we discussed it, you Gulasch, fucking idiot 
I’m grateful I payed the bills today.
I’m grateful the garden in town got mowed today.
I’m grateful for the simple meal I will cook soon.
I’m grateful I take it easy today and rest a lot.
I’m grateful for tea, always.
I’m grateful for the reclusive, peaceful life I live and this wonderful place where I live.
I’m grateful I feel a nap approaching.

I’m thankful to be home from work, clean and sober. It was a long day. I’m thankful I cooked plenty for dinner last night and there are leftovers. I’m grateful I can afford things because recovery has made me accountable to show up for the big and little things, like work or a visit with a friend. I’m grateful for my loving higher power that I call God who works miracles in my life and others. I’m thankful that my cat Peace is calm tonight.
God bless
p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!

Grateful for doing better with budgeting now that I’m away from my drug of choice
Grateful that I feel like my impulse control is improving. What I mean is like: I’m feeling like Im starting to get better at actually making and executing decisions based on my thoughts and not necessarily what I feel.
From my understanding, cocaine damages your executive function, which is like impulse control and such. So, I guess it’s a sign that my brain is healing

I am so grateful for my mom trying so hard not to annoy me and to really be here for me while she’s staying with me now. Usually, these last 15 years, she’s the kid in our situations. It nice to be taken care. It’s hard to admit but I’m just going to say it right now. I’m so grateful that she’s actually being mom and being proactive about everything. Not just my recovery but our pending move in together with family up north. She’s doing what she can to support me and be positive. I am so so so grateful. We have had.a very bumpy road and we’re finally starting to mend.
Also, I am so grateful for this app and community and for the outpatient program I’m going to. I’m really thankful they’re there.

I am grateful for a fantastic music festival last weekend. It was my first and I loved it. I could have done with less rain, mud and cold though, but I had a lot of fun. I am really grateful for my last minute purchase of yellow rain boots. The music was truly fantastic and I came home with a lot of inspiring new artists on my playlist.
I am grateful drinking never was a problem. The group I went with are normal drinkers and getting wasted was not part of the agenda. I loved being fully present and in sync with my body. I was especially grateful for a hangover free morning, making coffee and watching the head-achy people around me crawl out of their tents was truly gratifying.
I am grateful for new experiences like these.
I am grateful I upheld a boundary, when a friend was trying to manipulate me into an immediate response. I am grateful I could let it go and not make it about myself. I am grateful I can still stay emotionally available. But I get to decide, when I am ready for it. I feel very grown up now 
Today I am grateful for a sick day at home - coffee/tea, blanket, couch, movie. All the rain left me with a heavy cold (still worth it).

Oh, I feel this! And I love how you put this into words. 
I too am very grateful every time my mom behaves like the grown up she was supposed to be all along. I think, when one of us starts to heal the other part gets the chance to heal as well. That`s the beauty of a system shift - everyone has to adapt, ideally to the better.
