Gratitude list

Gotta turn some attitudes around from post-holiday come-down:

-Even though it is snowing this morning, I am grateful to learn it is expected to be warmer this afternoon
-Even though it feels strange to be at work this morning, I am grateful to have a job

I am thankful for this beautiful day!!! I will play outside with my son!

Today I am grateful for…

  1. my messy house…because I have a house and belonging to mess with
  2. my daughter with brutal PMS symptoms…because I have kept her alive and well to reach puberty (we’ll see if she STAYS alive and well with her nasty little attitude though)
  3. early mornings…because it means that I have a purpose for the day

Today I am grateful for sobriety. Simply that.

My coworker was telling me about her very frustrating evening last night and how she rewarded herself with a very large glass of wine when it was all over. But the wine didn’t make her feel better, it only gave her heartburn. I used to make myself feel better with big glasses of wine too. But now I’m grateful that I have new tools to deal with those life frustrations. I have my tea and books and games to play with my kids.

203 days without acting out.

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. Our local fitness center. Last night I was watching my son at swim lessons. Looking around the pool I realized that I knew almost everyone there. Had good conversations with good people and felt happy that he’ll benefit from being raised by the village that surrounds him.

  2. Good friends who recognize that I need help on a bad day. Thanks to everyone who reached out with a kind word.

  3. Books. I’ve read more in the past 6 months than in the previous 2 years combined. Not only for help, but also for entertainment. Such a great way to get out of my addict line of thought.

Grateful for my loving family, and their gifts on my birthday.
Grateful for all of the well-wishes and loving messages from friends, family and old acquaintances.
Grateful for conquering my fear of the ocean and huge waves. I let them pummel me today, and then… caught the most exciting wave of my life on my surfboard. The rougher the seas, the greater the persistence - the more sweet and powerful the outcome. Found a lovely analogy there for sobriety. Night all! :sleeping:

I’m grateful today to be closing out 13 years sober, rolling over to 14 tomorrow.

I’m grateful for spending 12 years with my buddy in his good health, a year of worse and now preparing for him to die sober and with as much dignity as possible. Brain disease and cancer both suck, but they are part of our humanity. I’m grateful I can show up for him and his family and not write them off or crawl back into the bottle. I am privileged to feel these emotions and know they will not annihilate me.
