Today I’m grateful x5 that my son who struggles with addiction seems to be doing much better! He turned 21 the other day and my husband had a recent birthday as well. Instead of hanging out in town this memorial day weekend him and his girlfriend came here to the woods to hang out with ole mom n dad. I know that thing’s can change in an instant but at this moment I’m feeling blessed! I’m never going to stop believing in him. 🥰

Stopping! I’ve been on a run putting my life back together this week, and when the weekend arrived I was exhausted. It’s all new stuff, new people, new projects, new places. Caught myself starting to spin and caught it. I don’t like stopping once I get some momentum. But stop. Just stop. It’s Saturday! Time to relax ❤

My daughter was tasked with making a gratitude list for school, we spoke about it.  
I explained that how a lot of the world lives in deep poverty where you would have entire families living in a dirty shack the size of our bathroom.

1. We’re thankful we have food to eat.
2. Clean water to drink.
3. School to go to and express ourselves there.
4. Modern technology that allows us to stay in touch.
5. A comfortable and safe space to go to at the end of each Day.

I first came across the concept of a gratitude journal one day watching Oprah over 25 years ago.

This concept was still in its infancy and I was quite excited about it. It’s been years now since I last kept a gratitude journal (something I intend to remedy now that I’m working on my sobriety). Life got in the way, alcohol too, and I never seemed to have the time or inclination to perservere despite having much to be grateful for. I’m glad I’m here and found this thread.

I am grateful today for:

The love, companionship and support of my hubby.

I have much to be grateful for.

I’m grateful for this thread, and for the supportive community on Sober Time.

✌🏻🇮🇪
