Triple digits! 100
Awesome!
You have also helped and inspired me as well. Iām a little late as I was on my mini vacation with family but didnāt want to let your post go unrecognized. Thanks for your lovely mention.
Ok, Iām trying to do my graditudes daily. 2 months ago, I tripped over my ceiling fan (it was still in a box, not yet installed). I sprained my ankle pretty bad, possibly fractured something since itās still swollen, But last week, the pain finally went away!
Well the next day, I pulled something in my back picking up Max. I tried stretches this morning, but made it worse. (Who says God doesnāt have a sense of humor).
Iām grateful I currently have no vodka in my house. Iām grateful I know it wasnāt Maxās fault. Iām grateful my job is remote. Iām grateful I have several vacation days before my anniversary next month. Iām grateful I can laugh at my clumsiness and pain.
Iām grateful to all of you here.
I hope you had a nice time!
Hope your back eases up
Oh no! Physical pain wears me down emotionally.
Iām also grateful you donāt have any vodka in the house. I hope the pain eases up sooner rather than later my friend.
Today has had its ups, its serenity, its downs, its hurts, its joys, its lessons and its convictions. Im grateful for them all. Each teaches me its own lesson.
Iām grateful for this new tool im learning and learning how to use. Not responding to things immediately, sitting with things regardless of it being uncomfortable, not rushing to a conclusion on how I truly feel or how something really affects me is not the easiest thing to do but it is definitely becoming the most helpful.
Im truly grateful for learning this no matter how slow of a learner I am.
I am so very greatful for everyones celebration of me reaching 100 days sober. Out in the world its expected. Here its appreciated and theres an unspoken understanding about how hard we work to fight addiction. Im so very greatful for all of you. I still need to catch up on the checking in thread after work but wanted to put my gratitude out into the universe first, and thats ok.
This is my 2nd gratitude post today, my 1st one sucked because I complained about my back. Iām just having one of those days, we all have them.
I forgot to wake Max up to go out before dusk. I went outside in sweats, coat, hood up, yep, I hate mosquitoes that much. Walked inside after 2 minutes and sure as shit I have a big itchy mosquito welt on my forehead.
Iām grateful I didnāt have more. Iām grateful I didnāt drink because I definitely wanted to. Iām grateful my boss postponed our afternoon meeting. Iām grateful tomorrow is another day.
Triple digits!!! Outstanding!!
Iām grateful for that Benadryl Spray.
And Iām grateful I donāt live with those nasty suckers anymore.
They donāt live in the desert or do you have some type of agreement with them not to bother you anymore? Iām one of the people they love, must be because Iām so sweet.
Me outsideā¦
I never heard of a yellow fly (I googled it, no thank you). I was hunting a wasp in my house a couple weeks ago. Luckily I killed it because my next option was to burn my house down and move.
Want to start training mind a bit more to have an increase in gratitude, so Iād like to post everyday on here. Even if itās only 2 or 3 things I can think of. So today I am grateful for:
God
My husband and son
My shift in attitude
The positive interactions with random people I had today
And of course my recovery
Too dry for them here. And to much elevation in flagstaff. I grew up in New England and I sure as hell donāt miss them.
But that Benadryl spray is excellent on whatever itches ya
Iām grateful to God please help me rest well tonight. Iām grateful for recovery. Iām grateful for ALL my family friend, TS and the grati-dudes. Iām grateful I can take the time to catch up on here since I went sideways and relapsed from late Wednesday night until early Monday morning. Iām grateful for my new clean date.
Iām grateful that I cut myself a little slack and can try and quit cigarettes again in the future since I picked up everything again and tried to quit the cigarettes as well but, progress with the other stuff is going to have to do. Iām grateful for daily readings prayers and gratitude. Iām grateful that I didnāt stay gone long and hit another horribly low bottom. Iām grateful I can tell people when I want to and try to get back to a place more focused on me and my balance. Iām grateful for music and creativity. Iām grateful that I went back to work today as I didnāt go the last five days. Iām grateful to God, please give me strength.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are amazing. If you fall down get the fuck up. Ya you!!
Iām grateful youāre alive and here doing your Gratitude Brian. Iām so happy you were able to get the fuck up.
Sometimes I stumble. Sometimes I fall.
Sometimes head first into the wall.
Sometimes I want to scream about it all.
Sometimes I stumble. Sometimes I fall.
Heard an angle whisper in my ear
He said
Now donāt you worry about it all.
Heard an angle whisper in my ear.
He said youāre good enough anyhow.
Then I heard the angle laugh a little right out loud.
He said
You will always stumble.
And you will always fall.
Iām only human after all.
Iām only human I guess thatās all.
Itās such a lovely song from John McAndrew.
He travels around to rehabs.
I wish it was on You tube or something so I could send it to ya.
Love you man.
Big hugs.
Will see you here tomorrow where you belong.
Try this.
Iām not sure itās gonna go thru.
But If it does Iām dedicating this song to you.
And anyone else who might need it.
To me itās very moving.
And John knows from experience what we are all going through.
Hi Brian, glad youāre back! I always love your positive posts. I too messed up my longest streak and have been trying to get back & stay āon the horseā. As long as I keep trying, itās a win! And hereās a meme imitating my gracefulness. Enjoy your evening!
