I had my intake appointment today with the eating disorder clinician at the hospital. It was quite the intake, lots of questions which I wasnāt prepared for. I purposely went in unprepared, if I had spent anytime thinking about what today would have been like I probably would not have logged onto that ZOOM appointment. I am grateful that I have been gifted the pause in recovery where I can sit with a question for a minute before I answer it. Not to think of how I will answer it, instead to let everything settle. To let all of the emotions that questions raise float back down to their appropriate places. I am grateful that I can respond today instead of react. I am grateful I have been placed with this particular clinician who is a Trauma Specialized Counsellor and has facilitated DBT in the past for many years. When she said to me that she likes to deal with the problem at hand and that ED is a symptom of the problem I knew we were going to get along great. I am grateful that she is not down with old school ideas around addressing ED. I am grateful for her experience, encouragement and gentle guidance.
I am grateful for a partner who is caring, understanding and is active in recovery. I am so grateful for him.

Iām grateful today was a better day at work. Iām grateful for people who work in HR and for their support. I apparently have grounds for some kind of formal complaint situation against a co-worker. Iām grateful I can take some time to discern if that is what will be best for me, for the situation, ā¦even for her. Lots to ponder thereā¦
Iām grateful I had yesterday off. It was my bday gift to myself! Time. Wow, is that ever the most precious thing, hey? So much time I wasted, being wastedā¦ But yesterday? A sweet gift of time to myself. There were intense thunderstorms - beautiful. I made sweet potato shepherds pie. Read my book. Lotsa walks. Started to post here, but passed out and woke up with the light on, my iPad on my chin, and my tea cold. I do love the shameless delight of waking up after passing out sober!
Iām so grateful for all the birthday well wishes here. For being able to show up here with my words and honesty and feel seen and heard and understood. Best gift ever. 
For your kind words (not tagging anyone) Pandita, and Alisa (happy everyday!), Shaunda, Franzi, Tragicfarinelli, Stella, and Carolyn. And Lisa, Jason, PinkyP, Faughx, Peace, and Sunflower (I always forget the 1 and some other sunflower must be scratching her head!).
Iām grateful itās never too late.
Iām grateful for another day. 
@Dazercat, yes please to Gratitude Tour! Je parle un peu de Francais! Ok, not really too much, but I can order coffee like the best of them! 
@Shaunda - congrats on the new job and renewed health!

Hi everyone 
Iām grateful Stella shares her ED efforts with us. Iām finally coming to terms with the fact that my lack of drinking has shifted into another issue. ED is definitely a symptom, and I know admitting thereās a problem is going to be my first step in tackling it.
Iām grateful I have the time and headspace to work on myself. I never truly had that until I got sober. Some days I donāt know what to do with all the realizationsā¦ I should have left my first husband long before ten years, I shouldāve stood up to my mom when she was so ugly to me, I should never have taken that first drink to drown the struggles. I had strength back then, the same as I do now. Iām just grateful that sobriety is allowing me to utilize that strength rather than bury it.
Congratulations on the new job @Shaunda! Iām so happy for you. 
@M-be-free49, you might be on to something. When I have the girls, I smile so big and so much my face hurts! 
Iām grateful for yāall. I truly appreciate the way we can share here. It helps to know Iām never truly alone. Iām grateful for that.

I am so grateful for the words of congratulations and encouragement on this,my home thread. 
I am grateful that one day at a time I did not have to take a drink for 2 months
I am grateful that I am learning that I dont have to argue with everyone I disagree with, especially board members of my R.O.C.
I am grateful that it is becoming slightly easier to shut my mind down from imaginary arguments in my head.
I am grateful for family that supports me both in my recovery and financial hardships.
I am grateful those financial hardships have an end date within site now! 
I am grateful my higher power is stearing this boat when I remember to surrender.
I am grateful my husband has spent the last 4 days bombarded with family lol even though he is exhausted now. Im grateful I know him well enough to know he will want his couch time today and I will leave the house and let him just enjoy it. we all need downtime.
Iām grateful that im ever so slowly learning patience. Thatās a hard one for me.
Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and support.

Started the day with the wrong foot, alarm didnāt ring, dog ran away, had another tough day at work - bad boss kind of situatuon.
Grateful that I had the chance to call my mom and dad during the lunch break to vent. Super grateful that some very complicated external problems they had for maybe 10 years seem to be finally getting close to a resolution 
I want so much for them to have peace of mindā¦
Grateful that in the middle of chaos and internal fury Iām finding ways to cope that bring me calm and remind me of the good fortune I have in my life. My health. My family. My hubby. A job that pays the bills. My dog. My choice to refuse to let a drink impact these good things I have.
Much love to you all
