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
Yesss congratulations. 1 year is amazing Jen. This made my day. It was already a great day in recovery. I am grateful that I get to be happy, joyous, free, clean and serene as long as put in the work one day at a time.
Tuesday morning gratitude.
Iām grateful I can catch up when I find time to read with focus, Iām grateful I value all your gratitude so much that I donāt want to fly over by fastreading. Iām grateful for this community and my home thread
Iām happy and grateful the timer notified me that Iām 8 months sober from codependent behaviour
Iām 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. Iām heartfelt grateful for my friends, therapist and you all who supported me when I struggeled, who I can lean on when itās 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.
Iām grateful Iāve come a long way in those 8 months and feel a lot more authentic, free and settled
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
Have a wonderful sober day
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

I actually put this on my morning list, because avoidance doesnāt 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.

Sept 24 Today I am grateful for: Time for myself. I feel like Ive been running on empty lately. The gym and the light workout I am going to do in a bit The cooler weather. TS and having a place to go to for support. The bright colors on the trees. My son feeling a bit better and that this cold wasnt a hospital stay. God and the peace I receive when I connect to Him. My persistence and determination for having a better life. I never give up. My new ED support group.
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 speedā¦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!
