Getting up and out the door in time to finish up with work before my tire appointment Not loosing it when I discovered that they had replaced the wrong tire a few days ago and the original one still needed to be replaced as the nail damage was irreparable. Grateful that this was at $0 cost to me. The weather was slightly warmer today and the sun was shining so I was able to do the 2 mile walk home and then work while the car was being worked on Grateful that I was able to get remainder of my baking / packing / labeling done Was able to wash the carpets in the basement. A weird musty smell is coming from somewhere - hope this takes care of it Was able to do a quick swim this late afternoon and timed it perfectly with the evening break (I totally forgot about the break so that worked out perfectly). Was able to finish up work and deal with an impromptu meeting afterwards. I did not blow my lid when after an hour of discussion we ended where we started Grateful I am able to whip up healthy tasty meals quickly as I needed something fast when I finally got home. Grateful that I had enough to send over to my parents too For my family, my friends, my HP and this community I did a lot of walking today and am rewarding myself with ice cream - tbh I would have rewarded myself even if I didnāt move LOL for my sobriety and my gratitude practice
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening ā sending you all so much love
People checking in on my process/progress at work. I feel like things are headed in a good direction for me even if it feels tenuous at times.
Getting to drive around and check out projects for work in a pretty cool place with some pretty cool people.
My parents helping me out with kiddo so that I could play basketball and go to my al-anon meeting.
The āfull houseā of the 6 regulars I love to hear from at my al-anon meetings. Some folks are getting older are need to make some life changes and Iām gonna miss them.
The northern lights on my car ride home from my meeting.
Getting to see people here hit some amazing milestones just by taking it one day at a time.
Today I am grateful that itās almost Friday and I am grateful that I remembered a daily gratitude app I used to use 2 years ago and am able to start using it again.

Thursday afternoon gratitude.
Iām grateful for pause and rest, I need it. Iām grateful for my comfy couch and cat & dog company. Iām grateful for my blankie and tea. Iām grateful I heated the furnace this morning, itās cozy and warm.
Super grateful for foggy november weather. My second most loved soulweather (most loved is cold and sunshine). Itās mystic how the landscape melts and vanishes as the fog drifts over our hill. Here a shadow of a tree, there a light indicating that thereās a house. Enchanting
Iām overly grateful to live here, for all decissions that led to the current state, for being able to enjoy every single day. Especially on quiet, grey days like today. Soulfood
Iām grateful for therapy and feedback.
Iām grateful I feel like an everyday hero because I climb on the ladder an mount pictures. Thatās huge for me, those pictures hang 4-5 m high on the walls.
Iām grateful for my reliable car.
Iām grateful for cuddles with cancer cat. Iām grateful I made his favourite spot comfy with blankets.
Iām grateful for minitasks and babysteps and that I can always go back to basics. Grategul for HALT
Nap approaching ā¦ ODAAT
I am grateful for some wind today meaning no fog and lots of sun.
I am grateful for a new cycle although I wonāt hold my word going to the Zumba course. I try no to justif, listen to myself and not feel guilty. Well, obviously it doesnāt work.
I am grateful I got the PT appointments scheduled.
I am glad I have tomorrow off and a longer hike planned.
I am grateful we all agreed in the office that our boss boss trying to influence us who to vote for the work council is total bullshit and a no go.
I am also grateful that I was never in a workplace where I had to wear clothes I donāt like.
Got to be careful, because I feel myself slipping into a bit of an indifferent āfuck it" kind of mood. Usually when this happens I need food, rest, or relaxation. So I ate food. I will practice guitar after work to relax. I will go I bed early tonight when I put my kids down. One thing I will not be doing is drinking.
Have a great day everyone. I care about each and every one of you.
It really was the cutest! It was a little too friendly though, it tried to follow me up onto my porch to say hello after I got the dog and cat inside lol. It wasnāt aggressive at all-but my animals mixed with wild animals always make me nervous. All was well though in the end!
Definitely take time to practice self care. Grateful to hear that drinking is not even a thought.
That āfuck itā feeling can mess with us from time to time. Lean on your support and utilize your tools (the tools we get in recovery are great for every day life) remember that going to sleep can be a restart button and hopefully the next day is brighter. We are here for you Brent. ODAAT!
