Today I’m grateful for another night with 8 hours of undisturbed sleep. The blessing of sleeping alone: nobody snorring. I wonder what the cats do, grateful they didn’t wake me up. Grateful I did the weekly shopping/errands routine. Grateful I decided to shift one errand into next week because I was tired and hungry already and the mass of people being on the move today 
brrrr, too much people everywhere for me.
Grateful to have a cosy home on this rainy day. Grateful I can spend the rest of the day in bed with a book if I want to. Grateful it’s quiet. I love the silence in the house when you only hear purring cats - and your own joints crackle.

I’m grateful for being in a positive mindset today which allowed me to write a letter to myself that acknowledged not only my mistakes but also my achievements over the last couple of years and the support I have now.
It’s been a long time since I had that balance where I can actually feel some pride in myself and the things that I am achieving instead of just the numbness and self loathing that drinking created.

I’m grateful to see and feel the difference when I work hard on my recovery.
My tolerance and patience for other is better when I have patience and tolerance for myself.
I’m grateful to realize that this morning.
Sometimes, I share my photos on Facebook. One of my local wood carving, photographer friends always edits my photos and reposts them under mine. Like his version is better. I’m pretty sure he is color blind. Because they look like I would have eaten psychedelic mushrooms to edit that.
It’s really annoying when he does it. He almost always does it.
I saw him at the grocery store this morning. He starts telling me how I should have photographed a wave I shared like 6 months ago.
I just nodded and smiled. It didn’t even bother me. I’m grateful to be feel more tolerant of others today.
I don’t have to drink to get stuck in negative alcoholic thinking and isolation. It’s alcoholism. Not alcoholwasm. I’m grateful to be out of my funk.
I noticed the wild Rhododendrons are popping up everywhere. They are my favorite! Time to go on a hike/ photography adventure.
I’m grateful!

Thankful that my cat is still functioning well, despite her age, health problems, and her tendency to wake me up at all hours. I wish she’d let me give her sub-q fluids, but the fight isn’t worth her being freaked out all the time.

I’m grateful for my new sleep schedule 10-5:30. Ish.
I’m grateful I like mornings.
I’m grateful I’m probably one of those annoying morning people that most people hate. Minus the conversation. I don’t like to converse early I’m the am.
I’m grateful I get to enjoy life sober and hangover free and full of gratitude, appreciation, and thankfulness. I know there’s a bit of redundancy in there but it’s how I get to feel now.
I’m grateful for my readings this morning. They were spot on.
I’m grateful for my first walk in the new desert hood yesterday. I’m grateful I only walked 15 minutes out and then back. I’m grateful I’m sad I can’t do more longer walks but even more grateful the shorter ones don’t make my body ache.
I’m grateful I stretched in my new workout room after my walk. I’m grateful my wife is letting me have one of the spare bedrooms for my exercise room. I know she’s grateful I’ve agreed to let her have her Peleton in our bedroom and it just so happens it’s on my side of the bed. I’m grateful it’s a big bedroom. I’m grateful we are sleeping in a spare bedroom until our furniture shows up for the master. It’s kind of fun. I’m grateful I don’t care when the master bedroom furniture shows up. We already missed one delivery. I’m grateful for my new house I’m gonna call home. I’m grateful for my saguaro Mountain View at the “Silver Tee,” box.
I’m grateful we had a nice clean carpet for almost 60 hours until Benson Christened it 
I’m grateful we knew he would. I’m grateful it was a big solid and easy to just pick up. 
I’m grateful it wasn’t one of his record breaking whizzys
I’m grateful to share my blessings with you all.
As long as I stay grateful, I’ll stay sober.
Am I in a grateful frame of mind?”

I am relieved, I made it through last night sober. While everyone else was getting hammered. After the initial ‘no’ to the first drink, it wasn’t hard anymore. I just had to stick to not drinking. Well, and maybe hanging out with the kids for a while at the beginning of the night, sipping away on their nonalcoholic fruit punch. Later on no one cared what I was drinking anymore.
A big part of my relief is also due to the fact, that I actually did have a lot of fun, despite staying sober. I think I had forgotten, that fun and joy doesn’t depend on alcohol. I enjoyed talking to my cousins just as much. And it made clear to me, that drinking is never a requirement to feel like I belong with these people. They just like having me around for who I am. I am grateful I got the chance to realize this. Last but not least, I am grateful for waking up hangover free. All that aches and hurts today are my feet from dancing so much.
