Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #9

2 days 8 hours

I’m grateful for this app, that has given me the opportunity to be reminded to be grateful.

I’m grateful for all the amazing people that I’ve met on this app and zoom meetings that have helped me over the last few days.

I’m grateful for the non-judgement and encouragement of my kids, parents and brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws.

I’m grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy a wrestling match with my kids tonight.

It was a day of struggle, heartache and headache. I’m grateful that I did not have a drink.

Thank you.

I know, I was grateful only 3 hours ago. But a lot has changed in that time that has reset my mind.

I am extremely grateful that I’ve met a group of guys that I can truly relate to. I’m grateful that there was a genuine connection that I feel fellowship.

I’m grateful that I don’t feel stress, I don’t have urges, I feel at peace.

I’m grateful that I feel confident but not naive to the fact that it’s just a feeling and not reality.

I’m grateful for the silence and solace of my mind.

Time for bed, I hope everyone has a great night and day.

Tuesday lunchtime gratitude.

I’m grateful for food in my fridge and a quick lunch.
I’m grateful some annual formalities are done.
I’m grateful I insisted that they correct a mistake. And silently wondered how comes that I say things explicitly three times and they still fill out the wrong option :roll_eyes:

I’m grateful the dog had a blast playing on the field today. It’s a pleasure to watch him.
I’m grateful I can comfort Missi cat, she is clingy as her brother is so reclusive. Won’t be long anymore, he already looks like death but still has life quality, my poor beloved furball. Fuck cancer.

I’m grateful I sorted my finances and decided on a hurtful cut as things take a lot longer than planned. I’m grateful I decided to move on with plan B.
As usual, as soon as you decide to drop plan A, it shows up and is puzzled that this is no longer an option :woman_facepalming: I’m grateful I stick to my plans and don’t question my decisions. I think a lot and my choices are solid, have been ever since. I’m very grateful for that.

I’m grateful I allow myself to rest this afternoon. I need it, I need ME time, I need to unwind and grieve in advance.
I’m grateful I can always do dome farmwork to distract me if I need it. I’m grateful nobody stresses about work needed to get done :folded_hands: It will still be here tomorrow if not done today.

Gratitude is hard today. I guess living in an assisted living establishment because it keeps me just that tadbit more safe than when living alone.

Grateful today for the Gen Z crowd out there who made me look up what Menty Bs are. Gotta keep hip in my old age.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful my knee is better. Not painfree but better. Somehow my body is doing better once I threaten him with seeing a doctor.
I am grateful this doesn’t always show during therapy. I have lots of distraction strategies. I am grateful it doesn’t always work.

Today I’m grateful for:

Having my folks nearby to help with dogsitting at a moments notice. Family is certainly helpful even if we don’t agree on anything.

For the mild fall weather. We’ve not seen much for the gales and the snow yet which is noteworthy for this far north.

Having a vehicle to get me to the parts of the boonies where I need to explore.

Getting to make dinner for my friends.

The meeting I had with my therapist last night. It really helped me to put everything I’ve worked on in the last year into perspective and helped me to narrow my focus to the three things I want to work on in the year to come.

Getting to spend from sunrise to sunset outside.

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. My sobriety and clarity of mind
  2. the ability to be bored because I’m not entrenched in daily blackouts anymore. I used to lose so much time and I was never bored.
  3. Filling my head during the quietest times with trash TV and remembering the trash TV, not like a year ago
  4. My lovely puppy sulley, whose gotcha day is today- one year with the big lug
  5. This community, which helped me get and stay sober for almost a year
  6. The kind people on here who interact with each other and gift easy smiles just to be nice
