I am grateful for a apartment I like.
Itās been 3 years living here. I donāt plan to move soon. Probably I am getting old.
I am grateful itās dark already. Itās calming me a bit.
I am grateful I have enough food in the fridge.
I am grateful that when I get overwhelmed by my sadness I donāt run to the station and get a bottle of wine.
I am grateful for the sunny weather in the morning and that my brother went for a walk with me.
I am grateful I feel my jaw clenched and itās telling me that I am sad.
I am glad I distracted myself with doing the laundry and washing the dishes.
Today officially over 24 hours! I can now say that I have a full day! I am grateful that I feel accomplished after a rough start to the day.
Grateful, that Iāve posted today & attended an AA meeting.
Iāve been playing a handy man⦠Fixing squeaky doors, tightening screws on tables & chairs. Rewiring desks and tvs, to not show the wires.
They arenāt difficult tasks but itās keeping my mind busy and the kids are helping out.
Iām grateful that Iāve gone mute to all negative words and comments directed at me.
Iām grateful the kids want spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and that we are finally filming again after a week!
Iām grateful, that I didnāt let a setback/conflict drive me to leave the house. Iām grateful that I know that I am unable to leave my home, at least for a couple days. I know that right now, Iām weak and vulnerable and Iām at peace with that!
Awoke to find empty propane tank that supplies my range. I wanted a gas Range and agreed to a propane tank in the middle of the kitchen as our house is electric utilities only. Always thought eventually would get a permanent gas line installed. Still waiting. As I walked to the barn with hand cart this morning to get replacement propane tank I thought this is the year 2025 who has to do this to make breakfast? Then I thought who gets to walk in between rain storms through our lovely property to the barn to get the gas tank I always have on hand? Who even knows how to change out a propane tank? Do they know the righty tighty law does not apply here. I have mastered the ex change and proud of myself. Breakfast made and a lovely mealtime we had.
I am grateful for the life I have here sober.
Ps I think a string of Christmas lights would look good on the tank for December.
Today (1day, 8hours) in to my sobriety I am grateful for this lesson. Iām going to butcher the quote.. āThere are no external factors that make you crave, itās all within youā.
This hit me hard, because I have / had / still have a million reasons why I crave and still craving. None of them has anything to do with me, the person whose life is falling apart. From fun, to disagreements, to simply seeing a store that sells⦠I always made the excuses, I need to take responsibility.
Iām grateful that I have learned this about myself. Iām grateful that I have to investigate this. Iām grateful for the fear around this, because Iām old school in thought and never look inward.
For tomorrow, I ask god to not let me make excuses to not do the work. I pray that Iām in a good mindset and have the courage to look inside. As I write this, I donāt want to do it.
I must do it! Iām grateful to have the opportunity to do it because a day ago, I hope helpless.
Best wishes everyone and thank you all for the support the last 2 days.
Itās the only way that Iām making it! I appreciate the support. Just finished a meeting and it was an old New York Italian man. Real old school. He has the best jokes and for the time, we all forgot any of our problems.
Iām now adding laugher into my distraction tactic!
Iām grateful cancer cat decided to show up again, my nerves are wrecked when i canāt find this fucker. i guess this becomes a lesson in let go and acceptance for me
iām grateful i put away outdoor stuff before the rain came.
iām grateful i closed the big hole in the shed roof yesterday makeshift and pray this lasts for winter. i need a lottery win to fix this building. donāt confuse shed with small, this shed is nearly double the house size. and the house is big.
iām grateful i can stay inside, warm, cozy, safe while it rains. I feel anxious today. iām grateful this will pass with tea and daily chores.

Today I am grateful that I figured out how to replace the window motor on my car last night. It was difficult but I successfully changed it! Getting the door panel back on is proving to be much more difficult and frustrating than I thought it would be though lol
