Ready to enjoy autumn to the fullest ![]()
Today I am grateful for:
My sobriety and my sober pals on here
My partner and him having today off for a date day
My therapist
Delicious non-alcoholic bevvies
Paid time off of work to focus on my sobriety
Totally agree on it being energizing @eph-M-eral ! Whenever I start doing anything good, it always starts at this time of year!
Today I’m grateful for:
LOTR films. At this point, ‘tis is almost shameful how many times I’ve watched them.
The amount of things there are in life and the world to do and see. I was worried I would be bored in sobriety but it’s mad when you think about it. Without sobriety I just spent years doing exactly the same things over and over again. In sobriety there are almost unlimited options and realistically we can never hope to do and see everything there is to do and see in an entire lifetime. I don’t know if that makes sense but I do know it makes me want to not waste any more time than I already have not being sober.
Maths. I worked out that if I’ve drank on average a bottle of wine per night for the last 15 years (probably underestimated), that’s about 550 calories before even counting the rubbish it led me to eating after and the inactivity it resulted in. A mile of walking apparently burns roughly 100 calories. So just by NOT doing something I was previously doing, it’s almost like I’ve just suddenly started walking 5 and a half miles a day if you think about it (before even getting into any of the other benefits).
Wednesday evening gratitude.
I’m grateful for a beautiful autumn day, sunshine, crisp air, hoodie weather, taking the dog for a long walk, sitting in the sun. It’s my time of the year ![]()
I’m grateful for a slow day, for doing the minimum, for naps, for noticing I feel a bit overwhelmed, paralyzed and lazy to my bones at the same time.
I’m grateful naps, cuddle time with my pets, a homecooked meal and a hot shower helped. It’s ok when all I do is put my sober head on my pillow today. I’m grateful I did a bit of chores, little things add up. I’m grateful I can always go back to basics ![]()
I’m grateful I enjoy being at home, reading on the couch with the lazy, heavy autumn sun warming the room, big dog on one side, cats on the other, pillow in position to glide down the backrest and change from reading to napping without bothering the sleeping pets
I’m grateful for this luxury in my life.
I’m grateful for friends, neighbours and you all, for good pals and nice people. I’m grateful for connection.

Friday evening gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for a slow day after the intense day yesterday. I’m gratefulI slept in, took naps, enjoyed the crisp fall weather with beautiful sunshine. I’m grateful for the dog enclosure, he liked it very much to stay outside while I was running errands. I’m grateful the cats enjoy the furniture, what a blessing to have all my furniture in one house now
Still grateful I tackled this big project and relocated all my furniture to the farmhouse. I’m grateful the chaos gets better every day, small steps add up. I’m grateful I work at my pace. I’m grateful I am enough. I’m grateful I feel at peace, calm, content and confident.
I’m grateful for therapy and friends. I ponder on some issues and went back to basics. First find out about what I need and what qualities i want, then think about if and how and what to do. I’m grateful I learned to give myself time, have patience and stop when things go into a wrong direction. I am deeply grateful for the long way I’ve come and all I learned, for personal progress and fundamental changes in my habits, thinking, maybe even in my personality.
I’m grateful I can always go back to basics, no matter how big or small the issue is, what it is about or how I feel. I’m grateful I listen to myself and respect my inner boundaries. If it doesn’t feel right, stop and look at it carefully.
I’m grateful for purring Missi on me, snoring dog on the carpet and cancer cat eats well and is lovely. I’m blessed with my fur family, love them to pieces.
I’m grateful for this cozy house, keeping us warm, providing shelter and a safe place. I’m grateful I invested a lot of time and money to finish it and the surroundings, it’s pure happyness to live here and live like I live. I’m grateful I built a home filled with love and care. I’m grateful my ex left for good as he didn’t want this love and care anymore. I’m grateful the memories blur. I’m gratefully living in the present ![]()
