Gratitude List. 5 things daily

I usually don’t write out my gratitude, so here’s a start! I’m grateful for:

• my day off
• that I can afford a new mattress, and hence hopefully my sleep quality and lower back pain will improve
• my mom is healthy and dealing well with my dad’s passing
• my sobriety
• my first morning coffee! :coffee:

Today I’m grateful for:

  • another day sober yesterday by the grace of God and AA.

  • last night’s home group and some insightful history shared about AA traditions.

  • stars in the sky as I rode my push bike home in the dark. Cycled past my old house in Seaford. Brought up feelings. Re-instilled that really this whole thing is about avoiding that first drink (forbidden fruit in the garden) that signifies we think we know better than God. That “we got this”. As alcoholics, let me assure you, we definitely don’t got this!!!

  • get kids back tonight.

  • the power of prayer.

  • For this day. Just for today.

May God bless you and keep you. :pray:

  • the power of prayer.

  • For this day. Just for today.

The clarity of sobriety.

The ease of feelings these days. Thoughts come and go in a kinder fashion. Less rumination.

An easier work schedule.

Time to de-clutter and process.

Good dark coffee.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • another day sober yesterday by the grace of God and AA.

  • seeing my son at his in school cafe job yesterday and how proud he was and happy to see me. Showing up for my kids.

  • Great reading today. Something I’ve thought about many times. Hoping my experience can in some way help save a man from himself at a much younger age. That he might save his family, his home, his sanity…and not have to go through years and years of uneccesary misery.

  • For comedy and laughter. Good for healing and good for the soul.

  • the power of prayer.

  • For this day. Just for today.

May God bless you and keep you. :folded_hands:
