I am grateful for...
I have added completing a daily gratitude list to my recovery plan as I heard an impressive statistic today that writing a daily gratitude list increases the liklihood of remaining sober by 25%...so here goes...
1. I am grateful for having a comfortable, safe, stable home
2. I am grateful that I have such a warm, caring and supportive partner
3. I am grateful for my weekly therapy sessions
4. I am grateful that I found the strength to confront my issues with alcohol
5. I am grateful that I am now taking better care of myself

1. I am grateful that it is Friday and that the gratitude has nothing to do with being able to drink alcohol...I didn't know there was a Friday feeling that wasn't down to the prospect of drinking!!!
2. I am grateful to the person who thanked me for holding the door open for them, and then for telling me it was the nicest thing anyone had done for them today.
3. I am grateful that I made the healthy decision to leave my work laptop at work for the weekend!!!!
4. I am grateful that my fiancé isn't doing a weekend shift and we can spend some time together.
5. I am grateful that I paid attention to the birdsong this morning.

Thank you guys ☺
I haven't stopped writing a daily gratitude list...it's just I have a paper journal I am keeping and sometimes I write my list in there instead. Today however I do not have my journal to hand so I will post my list on here.
Today I am grateful for...
1. I am grateful that I was able to spend an evening with friends at a restaurant and we all stuck to lime and soda.
2. I am grateful that I experienced no cravings at all during the meal.
3. I am grateful that the rain had stopped by the time I parked up to walk the 10 mins to my office...avoiding the drowned rat look!!!
4. I am grateful for the positive feedback and appreciation I received from a colleague.
5. I am grateful that I had the confidence to share with a friend that I have been practicing mindfulness and meditation, and she suggested we go to a meditation class together.

1. I am grateful that someone took the time to tell me that I was looking well and refreshed...my response 'No alcohol for a month probably has something to do with it' 😉
2. I am grateful that I was able to spend an evening with a friend who cooked me dinner 🍴
3. I am grateful, as always on a Tuesday, to come home to a wonderfully clean home 🏠
4. I am grateful that I have this quiet time between getting into bed and going to sleep to collect my thoughts from the day, and enjoy the stillness and tranquillity🌛
5. I am grateful that as it is half-term there are less cars on the road, significantly reducing my travelling time to and from work 🚗
