Thursday Gratā€™s ā€¦

  1. I am Grateful for one more sober day. I look forward to the next one.
  2. I am Grateful for the session with my therapist this morning, it went really well and opened my eyes about some of my behaviors. The new location was a little unsettling but I will settle in.
  3. I am Grateful I didnā€™t lose my noodle on the T.V., Starlink router, dish or my phone when I got home to No Internet Connection! Iā€™m technologically challenged at the best of times but this crap today was just stupid! If I had been drinking ā€¦ all of it would have been smashed!
    Thank-you sobriety :clap:. Things are working now, still no idea wtf went wrong or how it got fixed.
  4. I am Grateful I didnā€™t call my husband and freak out on him for the above shit show. I am breaking the pattern of overreacting when things go wrong.
  5. I am Grateful for this community. I find yaā€™ll incredibly supportive, kind and interesting. Iā€™m learning how to navigate my sobriety from everyoneā€™s experiences and the advice given, I appreciate that. :purple_heart:
    Forever Grateful

I keep meaning to post on this thread. With my tendency to constantly moan, I sometimes lose track of the good things in my life. Without further ado, today Iā€™m grateful forā€¦

  1. My ridiculously cute dog. Regardless of how I feel, just looking at his silly little face always makes me smile.

  2. My husband, whoā€™s been with me for the past 5 years and stuck by me through thick and thin even when I gave him really good reasons to cut his loses call it quits. He also cooks and does most of the grocery shopping. Iā€™m soooo grateful thatā€™s something I never need to worry about.

  3. This community for always having my back.

  4. My sobriety. No matter how shitty I feel, I always know a bottle (or 10) of wine can make it 10x worse. Iā€™m grateful I realised that before one of many blackout drunk incidents turned into a more permanent blackout.

  5. Iā€™m grateful I have plenty of work to moan about. That means Iā€™m doing something with my life.

I am grateful that even though I have a heightened level of stress, worry, and anxiety, and that my body is not reacting to these things well, and that my sleep is being effected, that I am able to recognize that I donā€™t need to turn to poor decisions to cope.

I am grateful that I have the first feeling of gratitude when I lack three more.
