Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery

I’m grateful to be able to acknowledge my anxiety — to be able to give myself the extra time I need to move through it but not be controlled by it anymore.

I’m grateful that therapy this morning was rescheduled. I’m grateful that I used that time to go on a longer walk.

I’m grateful to have finally learned the truth about what happened to my sister in high school. I’m grateful that I was able to cry about it. I’m grateful that she and I are both in therapy working through our trauma. I’m grateful that I didn’t have to push my feelings down & that I no longer have to pretend to be strong for her.

I’m grateful that the hummingbirds have returned and that I get to sit on the deck and watch them.

I’m grateful to be up way too early, already walk the dogs, sober and not hungover.
I’m grateful my wife found Alice’s hiding spot the other day :pouting_cat: She’s pissed. Alice is.
I’m grateful that’s over with. It’s pretty stressful when you can’t find one of your cats in your house. :grimacing: I’m grateful I’m sober and calm to deal with it as she would come out eventually.
I’m grateful I found some city recycling dumpsters. I’m grateful that and a Deli for lunch after I meet with my landscape guys again :grimacing: are all I have on my schedule today. That and Alice’s subcutaneous fluids in a minute.
I’m grateful for desert nature. All nature. Not snakes. I hate snakes. I’m grateful the baby gamble quail are already flying up to my pool after mom and dad check it out. Then they fly back to the tee box. They grow up so quickly 🥲
I’m grateful I’d rather look out my window every morning and see the nature God has blessed us all with. And the bunnies. I’m grateful I saw the Halloween bunny jump again yesterday.
I’m grateful for all the work and errands and scheduling I got done yesterday.
I’m grateful we are closing on the Cali condo today. Just waiting for a funding notice.
I’m grateful and sad that chapter of my life is over in so many ways and my family are all in good places now with good spouses and Norma on the way. And maybe. Just maybe this will be the house for family visits and grandchildren.
I’m grateful for today.
I’m grateful today matters.
I’m grateful I’m learning I can’t do shit about tomorrow. I can plan. But I can’t control tomorrow. Or anyone. Controlling myself is a big enough full time job for me.
I’m grateful y’all are here and share all your gratitude. Each and everyone of you. Ya you!!

If one is never enough.

I am grateful for my family and their willingness to watch my dogs so that I can have a weekend away.

I am grateful I only have 2 dogs now.

I am grateful to feel excitement.

I am grateful to feel calm.

I am grateful for the three members who took 60 day fobs last night.

I am grateful that “Alcohol is a drug” was one of last night’s topics and that there were some very powerful shares from some members who have relapsed to booze.

I am grateful for the young lady who requested the topic and that she is closing in on her 1 year clean and is feeling some pretty heavy milestone malady.

I am grateful I have her number and that I can reach out to her this morning.

I am grateful that I am clean today.

Today I’m grateful for a wonderful normal day! The first day in this gardening season when I did NOT moan and mumble because all of my body aches :pray: Grateful I woke up well rested and got up without pain. What a suprise. I have no explanation. I’m just grateful.
I’m grateful I started planting the permanent crops, flowers and herbs, I’m happy to create a new blooming spot. Still without back or hip pain.
I’m grateful I had real energy today. Grateful I worked with joy and I felt deep satisfaction. Grateful I felt competent today, I missed this feeling.
Grateful for a massage. Grateful for a shopping stop to buy more flowers. Grateful for HALT, it saved me from cravings while grocery shopping. Grateful for so many different sorts of milk and milk products. They are perfect drinks for me on a nice, warm day like today :pray::yum:
Grateful today was a really good day :orange_heart:

Hi everyone :tulip::revolving_hearts:

I’m grateful for another beautiful day. I’m grateful for the fluffy clouds that block out the sun and I’m grateful for the gentle breeze. Usually in springtime here I’m having to brace myself outside so I’m not blown over! I’m grateful for a break from the strong winds.

I’m grateful for walks into town, for little blonde curls and silly laughs and LOTS of questions. My youngest chicklet keeps me full of joy. :blush::two_hearts:

I’m grateful I slept better last night. The two nights prior weren’t good at all. I’m grateful I’m not Grumpy McGrumpster today. :upside_down_face:

I’m grateful for a planned dinner out with my husband’s family tonight. I’m grateful I have better control of my tongue than I used to. Y’all just pray for me that my facial expressions don’t give me away. My mother-in-law has actually been much better recently, and I’m grateful for that. My sister-in-law and her husband are a different story. I’ve always been kind, so it’s all so unnecessary. :persevere: I’m grateful I have hope.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful to recognize that I have some feelings of anger and resentment, and I have been holding onto them feeling “justified”. I am grateful that I can see myself acting childish, and now I will start to look at what I can do to change it. I’m grateful that I don’t work on Friday. I’m grateful the kids will be out of school. I’m grateful for sunshine and Hibiscus blooms. I’m grateful that I have been sleeping soundly the last several nights without having to take any medications to help. I’m grateful for the poem @Bootz linked- it was what I needed to read today. I’m grateful for you guys, and all the glimpses into your lives. I borrow gratitude from you guys when I’m running low on it myself.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

I’m grateful to be up way too early again. But I already got a lot of shit done and I can get my gratitude in after the all important dog walk.
I’m grateful for our dedication to walking our dogs every morning.
I’m grateful I had my coffee and devotionals outside on my deck this morning.
I’m grateful we will be home ALL day because of the security installation we will be having done. I’m grateful I’ll be able to get caught up on paperwork, tidying up, a few more boxes, and a few phone calls.
I’m grateful for all my restaurant management skills I learned. It doesn’t bother me to call people on the phone. Over and over again :grimacing: if necessary.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful to explore new walks in my hood.
I’m grateful for the planned community I live in where there is plenty of open space around the houses. It all blends in so nicely.
I’m grateful our best friends from Austin will visit us in June. Not sure if we’ll be able to squeeze in an Austin trip. It will be so nice to see them.
I’m grateful I think Brian is moving today and pray he has a smooth move. I’m grateful he will finally have a place of his own. I can’t wait to see it or hear about it. That’s today isn’t it?
I’m grateful we found a good deli even though it’s a 25 minute drive for a Reuben. I’m grateful for the old waitresses attitude. I told her I don’t see any hotdogs on your menu? She said, “you want a hot dog? Go to a ball game!” :rofl: at the end of our meal she said, “ What Else?” I swear she must be my restaurant twin. I think I’m in love. I’m grateful I can accept people with attitude and I don’t get offended much. I’m grateful I love and respect an old seasoned professional wait person.
I’m grateful to wrap this up before my guys show up.
I’m grateful for y’all.

God, thank you for blessing me with another clean and sober day :pray:t2:
