Wednesday gratitude.
Today Iām grateful I will go to bed soon, Iām tired.
Iām grateful for Shiatsu therapy allthough I feel like apple sauce afterwards. Itās helpful and healing.
Iām grateful the work on the driveway proceeds at a speed that makes my head spin in overdrive. Iām grateful for quiet evenings to unwind, I feel stressed.
Iām grateful for petlove.
Iām grateful I tell the dog to fuck off when he tries shenanigans. Nope. Just nope.
Iām grateful I did at least a minimum of chores today.
Iām grateful for rest and sleep.
Iām grateful I worked through a VERY irritating emotional upheaval related to the deck pavement my ex did and that gets removed and replaced now. Iām grateful I can take this shit to therapy tomorrow. WTF?
Iām grateful nobody gets on my nervs at home and I can do as I please. Sleep, work, shower, fart, eat, clean, make a mess, tidy up, rearrange, leave things as they are, ignore chaos, pet my zoo, get a fit, meditate, not giving a fuck, mimimi ⦠I am grateful that I am free
Iām grateful that I finally appreciate living alone and that I am not willing to pay the price of twisting & bending myself anymore to make a relationship work. Not that there is one in sight, Iām just grateful this is not an option anymore. I am fine with living alone and get my shit together by myself even when times are busy and stressing me. What an achievement. Rant end. Iām grateful for my life as it is and all my blessings

Husband waking me up earlier than I wanted with text is ok. I can handle those immediate requests since SOBER
My rare early morning headache has passed
Accomplishing needed tasks requested from the boss (hubby)
So grateful for dentistry (can now smile without thinking of missing front lower crowns)
Much needed nap today without interruption
Roommate (she left flower and encouraging note for me this morning before her leaving for work. BJ gets up every morning at 3:30 am and gets to work at 5 am) I admire this quality.
Grateful I can tackle what I put off today tomorrow. I just canāt be perfect everyday.
Your post gave me a good chuckle! Thank you. Iām so happy for you. I remember that feeling when I finally got my place back post breakup. Hope you have a peaceful evening.
Beastie Boys quote. Popped in my head when I clicked on this thread.
Iām so grateful for today. Outpatient group was realllly good. There are 3 groups and each one was informative, lively, loving, and just uplifting and brought us all closer. There are only a handful of us so itās very interactive and intimate - for lack of a better word. These are good therapistāsā¦good people that seem to really give a fuck and I REALLY appreciate it. I feel really whole in this way Iāve been lacking for sooooo long. COMMUNITY,
Grateful for my snoring dog right next to me, my mom still out in the living room doing mom shit and I am here for it, my car, and my jobs that I still have. Thank goodness.
Iām thankful to get another sober day and I hope to get some solid rest tonight!
@Cjp I am also grateful for Buddhist teachings! @Dazercat thank you for sharing this info! āSimilar to giving, gratitude triggers the brain to release neurotransmitters and hormones associated with happiness, including dopamine and serotonin. Low levels of these hormones can cause depression. Regularly practicing gratitude can be a natural antidepressant because it produces feelings of contentment and pleasureā
Also friends how do I reference to what someone posted? The highlighted box that appears? (Thanks in advance )
I am grateful to be reading all of your grateful posts late post on my gratitude today. The last few days have been very busy getting ready for vacation and with tying up loose ends at work. I am grateful that I am finally done catching up on work stuff and about to head to bed. I am so grateful tonight that I resisted a craving and did not grab a drink while dealing with work stuff. Instead- I paused- reminded myself that this craving/feeling shall soon pass. And it did- very grateful I opted instead for couple cups of tea. I am grateful that I decided to plan in advance and not wait till last minute to get ready for vacation. I am grateful for a working washer and dryer. I am grateful for getting time to spend the evening outside and swim with kiddos. They love the pool. I am grateful for my husband slow days at work and being home more. I am grateful for my job and the work I do even though it can be emotionally exhausting at times. I am grateful for my sister and our quick catch up on phone. I am grateful for my pets and the extra snuggles I received today. I am grateful for clean water and the hot shower tonight. It was much needed. I am grateful for my body and for always supporting me/carrying me. I am grateful for my sound mind and the healing that comes along with sobriety. I am grateful to feel once again and donāt need booze to numb them out. I am grateful that I am learning how to sit with and then release them/let go. I am so grateful to just bd present and for all of you! I will end my gratitude with I am overall grateful to be alive. ODAAT.
It perfect! It keeps the tea warm for almost an hour? And I get two cups! Also in middle is a strainer for loose leaf tea. Plus alice and wonderland is one of my favorite books! Win win all around

Be well gratidudes. No telling when its our time to go so enjoy the moment at hand
Whether it makes sense or not, looking at horribly needy homes at low prices. Regardless of what people say, I would spend my time in a barn if I owned it.
Kiddos - not what I expected but dang, they are amazing.
A possible whiff of something yesterday. That right there is a big deal!
VA Healthcare, sometimes better than others - but their coverage is responsible for a lot of my non-debt medical.
Knowing that isolating does not work for me. It never has. It never will. It always makes my heart hurt.
Knowing that I can never be free if I am drinking alcohol. Itās a handcuff in my life.
Ever day is the most days - Today: 587. Every second is a better thing.
Ty and same to you She is heading to it in like 2 hours. Itās for a beauty type of job at Dior I think. She knows a lot about makeup and fashion and whatnot so I think she should get the job, especially with her friend recommending her to the manager
