Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful to be up very early on my own, blessed to do all my pet chores, with a clear head and well rested body.
I’m grateful I didn’t take that last glug of coffee at the bottom of the cup that taste cold and gross. I’m grateful I went for my hot green tea and gratitude.
I’m grateful for my communion with God every morning and my readings and devotionals and prayers and of course my gratitude list. I’m grateful I save the best for last.

I’m grateful I read I can humbly ask God for me to accept what is and to let go of what isn’t.

I’m grateful Benson seems to be a bit better each day. He seems good this morning. I think the moves stress him out. He’s been an anxious freak all week.

I’m grateful my yard guy planted some flowers for me yesterday in my containers. I’m grateful he can do some other perennial plantings for me when he has time.
Hey brother
I’m grateful as uncomfortable as I feel watching him work and not doing it myself, I know it is best for my body and especially my back. I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt. I’m grateful I listen to my body now. Well today, and yesterday anyway.

I’m grateful I didn’t have to go anywhere yesterday. I’m grateful I got to do yesterday on my time and Gods. I’m grateful how great that felt! I’m grateful I might be able to pull that off again today except for a 6:30 dinner res tonight.

I’m grateful we enjoyed a movie last night. I’m grateful we enjoyed the WHOLE movie together.
I’m grateful I was wrong about today and I’m grateful I have my Pilates trainer at 11:30. I’m grateful she recommended the movie Hustle that we watched last night. I’m grateful my trainer is pregnant and she’s a month a head of my daughter and it’s just kind of cool chatting with her about baby stuff. I’m grateful I can also chat with her about my DIL who is way ahead of her. I’m grateful I can buy her some cute onesies for her baby. Onesies are so cute

I’m grateful tonight is Pizza And Pastabilities at the club. You tell them what to put in your pasta or pizza and they make it for you. I’m going with veggies and marinara sauce and a kick
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful this gratitude business works and I’m worth it. And so are you. Ya you!!

I’m grateful for Duolingo app to try and get some French in my head.
I’m grateful this morning I discovered “Todays Hope” has an app.

I’m grateful to read gratitude from different parts of the world @PinkyP and ice lollies, puts a huge grin on my face, as I fondly remember my time living in London. I’m grateful I’m not a plant too @anon74766472 And I can picture Rocky so vividly chattering away @Shaunda as I use to have “A Scurry,” of cranky Rockys in my Cedar Elm trees in Austin. (Thanks Google )

I’m grateful that I feel my sobriety getting stronger . When I have thoughts of drinking it quickly goes to that tape, or I reach for my phone … or I get up and do something… anything but think … thinking will not keep me sober . The obsession has been lifted and I never thought I could live my life without vodka … turns out I’m living for the first time in 15 years … I was walking home and thought when am I gonna catch a break? Then I laughed to myself because I realize I’m living with my feelings and being productive. This is adult responsibilities and life … not every moment is great or calm or ok … I do feel like I’m starting to understand being sober

I have so many things to be grateful for but recently in the last few months I’m extremely grateful feeling my mind shift in positive directions more and more every day. My dreams will no longer be put on hold

Happy Saturday I am grateful I made time to think about what I am grateful for today.
I am grateful that I got up for a sunrise swim. I’m grateful for how quiet it was, the color of the sky, and all the birds waking up.
I’m grateful I got a work out in afterwards.
I’m grateful I accepted a new job on Thursday. No more working around booze. No more crazy hours. I’m grateful I worked hard and chased after getting a new job. I’m grateful I knew that I deserved a healthier environment. I’m grateful that I have a full fridge and nutritious food to eat. I’m grateful I got my workout in early so I don’t have to be out in the heat today. ( 115 degree heat index) I’m grateful we have space for Rue to play here. That she can run up and down the stairs and play fetch- and also doesn’t have to go out in the heat to get some playin in! I’m grateful for my best friend. That we can talk about anything and everything. I’m grateful that time slows down with him in the best possible way. I’m grateful my happiness and mood no longer feel co-dependent on his. I’m grateful our relationship has gotten healthier. I’m grateful the relationship with myself has too. I’m grateful I’m going clothes shopping today I’m grateful for the beautiful life that I have worked really hard to create.

Congratulations on your new job

Thank you @anon74766472 I am really excited. It will be my first job that I’ve been a totally sober human for and it feels oddly special. I’m not sure why haha

@Dazercat

Im grateful for Brian and his prayer for God to guide him every morning. Im grateful I’m starting to get that now. I mean I got it and understood it before. But I’m really starting to “Get It,” now. Thank you brother. You don’t know how much I need that prayer every morning. 🥲 I’m grateful you hammered it into me every fucken day for what almost 900 days now. 🥲 Sorry I can’t remember your first gratitude post. It worked or is still working. A work in progress.

Amen.

I pretend-lasso trees up ahead and let them pull me along on the long runs (free pro tips!

I love it! Trees are some of my besties. This’ll make me look at them differently on my trails… (and I might just check into some trail runners! )

[Bigbear]

Grateful for the friendly strangers I came across today while I went about my business. Smiles from the woman in the supermarket and a young boy asking me for directions (and I could help for once) gave me a little light on quite a sad and lonely day, grateful to be sober even though sad

Congratulations on your new job! I know exactly what you’re talking about. Working sober is different, almost disorienting.
I worked at a pizza place, and the new kitchen manager told me, “They say you’re one of the best… when you show up sober.”
That kinda hurts, but it’s true. Anyway, best of luck to you!

I’m grateful I made it thru Day 8 and am starting Day 9. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about drinking today, but thinking is not doing, so I’m grateful for that.

I’m grateful I went in to my office on Friday after over 2 years working from home, and it wasn’t as weird as expected. I cleaned out my desk and am officially 100% remote, this is awesome for me. I’m grateful I like my job and my boss.

I’m grateful for my home and Max and Riley. God Bless everyone and Goodnight.

I’m grateful I get to sleep in tomorrow. I’m tired. It’s a good tired.
I’m grateful to be off the water and feel content not drinking.
I’m grateful for my comfortable, bed and pillow calling me.

I’m grateful for another sober Saturday night!
