Grateful for:

The opportunity to be a better version of myself today than I was yesterday.

The opportunity to be vulnerable with those I care about.

The opportunity to be called upon by someone needing help. (It truly moved me.)

Thank you @anon44659383. So happy I made this decision to go when my PO called me. I could have asked to wait till the 14th but I knew I needed it and it was the right thing.

I’m grateful for stability today.

My income covers my basic needs. My provisions and finances are stable.
My living situation is safe and I don’t need to move. My physical surroundings are stable.
I am engaged with caring, reliable people around me. My social support system is stable.

This wasn’t always true, and through that I’ve developed a genuine deep constant appreciation for it. It’s not just Polyanna talk.

Grateful for being in control of my actions/thoughts/behaviors… Grateful to finally realising the beauty around me without being toxicated. Grateful for having found all the wonderful people on this app

Today I am grateful to be sober and in recovery allowing me to wake up early to wish my mother good luck on her job interview today she desperately needs and not hold any resentments for the past between us and just be a loving son with boundaries.

Rebuilding the relationship with ones parents can be difficult. I’ve talked to you about how I am going about it, just small things to show you care. However, on the opposite end resentments are extremely hard to get over, especially if they are deep rooted. Which most are when it comes to ones parents. Sometimes we have to just cut them a break and remember they are just people, the same as us doing what they can with what they have at their disposal. I will pray that your mom aces the interview and gains employment.
Stay strong brother.

Thank you man I do too. I know she is stressed out about finances right now so this job would be a huge relief.
I’m learning to let go of those past resentments with her bc at the end of the day I’m my own man now and have avenues and opportunities to take care of myself how I need to and not need to subject myself to certain things if they aren’t right.

That couldn’t be more true.
Once you make peace with yourself and the past. Things become vastly easier.
