I am grateful for my comfy bed to rest on this afternoon. I am physically tired.
I am more than grateful that I found my phone in the train (it had a longer stop and I forgot it there). I am grateful that I noticed my missing phone before the train left. That was a nice start into my day. I am grateful for a nice chat with other cyclists in the train. We all headed to different destinations, all preferred cycling alone but were still happy to talk with each other. It was so nice.
I am grateful I listened to my body/glycemia and shortened the tour. It was more windy and hills than I wanted. I am grateful that I am back before it gets even warmer. I cannot tolerate the heat very well.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for a shower, for enough food in my fridge.
I am grateful I learn to let go, here. I cannot help people who are not ready yet and who don’t seek for help. It’s not me to decide that. I am grateful for recovery.
I am happy I saw Claudia’s post on folding bikes @SoberWalker
I’m grateful to be sober this weekend. My family really needed me yesterday and I’m so glad that I wasn’t hungover or consumed by my own stuff that I could be there and help make things better on a very sad day.
Because i will have to commute for some time in the near future, I am afraid and am thinking about my different options. Until today i was thinking of getting a ‘station bike’ but then I’d need almost 2. At least here stations arent the savest spots to let your bike all day…
I’m grateful to God I’m alive. I’m grateful I could drive to to store and get some plants on sale, even though I had to drive by my vodka store. I’m grateful I didn’t stop. I’m grateful for Sunday and hanging out with Max and Riley. I’m grateful for a roof over my head and food to eat. I’m grateful when watching Max looking for me, and he gets so happy when he finds me, it warms my heart. I’m especially grateful for all of you who I consider friends/soul mates, and am wishing you all a blessed, AF day (AF can be however you want to read it, lol)
Today I am especially grateful for time. I say this because time does change things. I never used to give myself time to change when it came to my emotions. I felt one thing that was uncomfortable and I used drugs to change how I felt. Then when I didn’t like how I felt coming down, I took a diff drug or more of the 1st to “improve” how I felt. And so on and so forth. Today I am soo grateful for time and allowing myself to wait it out. Altho not just wait… but DO something healthy to help me and then wait it out. Today I feel like a whole different person compared to yesterday. My outlook on life and of myself is completely diff. So yes grateful for time and change and for waiting it out
I’m grateful for this beautiful sunny Sunday morning. For waking up sober, for coffee out with friends this morning.
I’m grateful, too, @Butterflymoonwoman that we can trust that time will work and the next minute, hour, or day will be different, and likely better than any present yucky mess of thoughts and feelings that, in the past, we numbed or tried to escape.
I’m grateful to be sober, for my sobriety, and that I get to choose to recover everyday. I’m grateful for the online Recovery Dharma mtgs. I felt shaky yesterday, and logged into a mtg across the continent, and it got me through that shaky hour. I’m grateful my group meets tonight.
I’m grateful I get the rest of the day to spend around home, quietly puttering, putting my wee home in order while the solitude brings my inner world into right alignment. The demands and circumstances of the last month created lotsa internal clutter! I’m learning to be grateful for these times and all they teach me about myself, my recovery.
The week ahead is busy and will have some challenges, and likely some tests for my sobriety. I’m grateful to recognize this now, gives me time to pre-pack my XL toolbox.
I’m grateful for fresh fruit that I’m eating too much of, for coffee always, for my friends, for moments of peace and serenity - they are there when my awareness is there! Who knew?
I am grateful for the speaker last night, the way she shares recovery is beautiful and I always walk away with a gem. I am grateful for syncronistic experiences and although I feel I need no more convincing they are always fun. I am grateful for open-minded friends, that, or friends who pretend they are openminded and actually think I am nuts. (Hahahaha.) I am grateful for evening motorcycle rides in the sunset. I am grateful for memories that were lost long ago triggered by the rumble of a bike. My day started at 5 am, ended at midnight and I am still functioning today… I am so grateful for that. I am grateful that my emotional, mental and spiritual health has a direct affect on my physical health. I think this is why my body has been a little more tolerant. I recently sat with the thought, “What does recovery mean to me?” I won’t bore you with the details but in a nutshell seeing as recovery means “returning to a past state, before illness or failure.” and I am working a spiritual program; recovery means I am fixing my spirit back to its original state. I am grateful for curiosity. I am grateful that I know what I am working on, that I don’t need to recover all the money I blew, the career I lost, the relationships I fucked up, the body I ruined. I am grateful that what I need to recover is repairable with love.
I’m grateful for another sober day. I’m grateful for meme wars, always brings laughs. I’m grateful there’s so much on here that helps. I’m grateful for all of you, goodnight.

That was a nice start into my day. I am grateful for a nice chat with other cyclists in the train. We all headed to different destinations, all preferred cycling alone but were still happy to talk with each other. It was so nice.
