Attended my AA meeting today

Hubby understood my feelings and how I want my family home sale to progress. Totally went against his plans on how to proceed. Wrote a letter and emailed hubby to avoid a FIGHT. He responding quite well.

A very low key day with no expectations of my time

Tuesday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful I can catch up when I find time to read with focus, I’m grateful I value all your gratitude so much that I don’t want to fly over by fastreading. I’m grateful for this community and my home thread :smiling_face::folded_hands:

I’m happy and grateful the timer notified me that I’m 8 months sober from codependent behaviour :folded_hands::sparkles::four_leaf_clover:
I’m grateful that I was emotionally done, made a decision, communicated it unmistakeable, gave myself a strict inner boundary and followed that zero tolerance for mimimi rule. I’m heartfelt grateful for my friends, therapist and you all who supported me when I struggeled, who I can lean on when it’s difficult and who remind me why I drew this boundary and why it is so important to follow my own rules. No sidekicks, no exeptions. Sober.
I’m grateful I’ve come a long way in those 8 months and feel a lot more authentic, free and settled :folded_hands::folded_hands::folded_hands:

So this is a big, heartfelt, grateful THANK YOU for being there, for support, for sharing, for learning from others, for personal progress, for connection and community and for tears, smiles and all between shared :folded_hands::folded_hands::folded_hands::folded_hands::sparkles::four_leaf_clover::sunflower::teapot:

Have a wonderful sober day :hugs::hugs::hugs:
I will stay sober from codependent behaviour, alcohol and overeating today. Celebrating by dropping off the dog to board, drinking tea and having a nap in the afternoon :blush:

Grateful:

  • I actually put this on my morning list, because avoidance doesn’t win.
  • Sometimes when things are frustrating, they are happening for a reason. I have deep thought on this. Today I got 1/5 of the expected money. Why? Possibility is that for the 2nd time something has gone against the decision of where I will live. Second strong issue against it. Deep thought.
  • Only people can control themselves. Knowing not to try works, when you work it.
  • Gratitude matters - a roof, food, some money, healthy kids (who are actually bot adults)
    YOU PEOPLE.

I am so very grateful today :pray:

:jellyfish: I am so very grateful that I had a great dental cleaning today. She said that my mouth looked great and there wasn’t much work for her to do :laughing: Now that is a first and such news as I have been working hard on taking care of myself … grateful it is showing
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful that my dentist was able to recommend a new dentist for me as she is retiring. Someone who is well versed with the mouth splint that I need and the TMJ issues. I am grateful that even though I thought my left side was doing better cause I was not locking up and hearing it click every time I open my mouth - well, it is clicking and grinding (just not as bad as the right side) LOL. Grateful that I have gotten used to that.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for my charcoal black seed oil toothpaste. It actually tastes nice and I am starting to see a change as it is naturally helping to clean my teeth
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for trying out a new spot today. Was tired and hungry and stopped in to check it out. Delicious healthy ingredients. Made some adjustments so I could get vegan wraps with protein… so worth it!
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful that I am able to help out a friend. Grateful she asked for my help.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful that I can help my uncle out even when he doesn’t know that I am. Grateful that he will be coming home soon :pray:
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for all the people coming together to rebuild after the massive flooding in Punjab. So very grateful that my family is ok.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for coffee, Hot cocoa, herbal teas, sparkling water.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful that I am able to work on our relationship and find ways to stay connected to Him
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for my family.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for my sobriety and having this opportunity to work on myself. For being able to give my body the time it needs to heal. Grateful that I am not relying on pain meds or other drugs to mask the symptoms but working to fix (the best I can) what is ailing my body
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for cooler days and being present to watch the changes of Autumn.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for being able to check out stuff in the Halloween aisle and not purchase anything.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for selling more Halloween stuff on Facebook. My lighted fog machine will be picked up shortly.
:jellyfish: I am so very grateful for all of YOU! Grateful to have found this safe beautiful space on the internet.

So very grateful

I can experience joy everyday. Roommate text me on her first day of using forklift for her duties at her grocery store job. I am honored she wanted to share immediately with me. Roommate has become pure joy for me everyday. I am the lucky one even though I am providing a sober living house for her.

New glasses came today. I am so excited. It has been 4 years and Yunna damaged the lenses a year ago. Where once I was blind I now can see.

This week is moving at a perfect speed…slowly. Weekends are so filled with hectic tasks to be done with chance of conflicts. I can recharge and be rejuvenated before hubby blows in.

Grateful for the one fly in the house because once I remove it (I got it) FLY FREE for the moment teehee

Grateful I feel Enough. Much could improve and will continue to try but today, right now I am great!

I’m grateful I reached out to a family member and got some good wisdom that might help me look for alternative therapies for my ME.

I’m grateful for my kitten who is such good company - and entertainment :joy_cat:
