Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery

Good day,

I am grateful for a beautiful sunny day, with fresh air and super tunes.
I am grateful for every day that we get closer to the end of this school year.
I am grateful that grade 11 is going to be easier than grade 10 has been.
I am grateful to be able to step away from some of the support I have been receiving, although my eating disorder is a little sketchy at the moment I don’t feel like I will nose dive completely. I need some downtime and I feel safe with all of the recovery I am doing.
I am grateful to be able to recognize the ebb and flow of recovery and not to get too afraid when things fall away a little bit.
I am grateful to have learned to look at things with gentle eyes…
I am grateful to read the excitement in Jason’s posts as he rediscovers the gems in recovery. This gives me hope that even after being in the program for many years I will be able to rediscover the joys myself.
I am grateful that I can sense my guard around certain people these days, it’s intuition, it’s natural and I trust it 100%.
I am grateful for the people in my life today, my sponsees, my man, my kiddo, and the rents. Oh, can’t forget about the pooches, grateful for them too.
I am so super grateful to read that Carolyn’s boys are both on an upward trajectory today, one day at a time. :heart:
I am grateful to be reminded every day and often multiple times a day of the commonalities between us.
I am grateful that although we all might walk different walks and talk different talks, that I can learn from every one of you. That even though somedays I might feel like a “super addict” and that I am indeed a “special case” it is just my ego whispering to me. That I am in no way terminally unique I am just a plain ol’ addict with all the same plain ol’ symptoms of addiction that everyone else has, that needs no special treatment. I am so grateful for this because it allows me to fully belong somewhere. I dont have to try to fit in, I fit.
