My 5 item gratitude list.
I'm grateful that I got a 4 mile run in.
I'm grateful that my dog likes to go with me.
I'm grateful that I'm moving out of this dump of a city.
I'm grateful that my boyfriend is so supportive.
I'm grateful I haven't lost everything that I still have some friends and family.
There's my 5 for the day. This is a good practice.

Grateful for having gotten one of the many pieces of wreckage of my former life cleaned up.
Grateful that a colleague said she liked working with me.
Grateful that my sponsor "suggested" I greet at yesterday's meeting.
Grateful that my former state is still fresh in my mind.

Grateful I am drinking my chai latter coffee while my dog chomps his food and the BBC discusses the news on my morning off. I am grateful I got the trash out before the garbage truck came. I am grateful the antique / vintage store a few blocks from me is having a 40% off sale that I plan on checking out later. Grateful some of my plants are doing well enough that i now need bigger pots to transplant them into...
When I drank, I ran out of clean coffee cups (let alone coffee), the dog ran out of food, the radio hurt my pounding head, the news was just another reason to drink, I stopped paying the trash pick up service and the bags of trash were thrown in a heap on the back deck (no lie) for months, the plants died, that antique store is a block from my liquor store and was another reason to load up on vodka... I never let myself run out of alcohol for fear of withdrawal despite the ruin around me.
I am SO grateful to remember what it was like then.

Grateful that SR and BBC are here when I can't sleep.
Grateful for the days when I feel like I am not making any headway. Because those days force me to work at not judging myself and beating myself up. I start to do that... and I have to make myself stop. Then I have to stay in that uncomfortable place of not meeting my expectations but not feeling ashamed by that. Very tough spot. But if I can sit with that spot, then maybe I can detach enough to either re evaluate my expectations or to look at what self defeating maneuver I am using to hold myself back. And do all that while still maintaining some self esteem. Quite the trick. Lol
Grateful if I don't go backward then I will eventually go forward.
Grateful that after cutting my antidepressant down a third, about two weeks now, I am getting used to it and am coping and concentrating OK, just with more effort. Grateful to adjust and also help lower my blood pressure in the process.

Grateful I am having coffee and an English Muffin at home before work. I usually don't have coffee and food till I get to work.
Grateful for casual Fridays.
Grateful for sobriety and no headaches in the morning. No questionable texts, bad behavior, broken glass I didnt clean up, no running out of clean socks and underwear, no avoiding creditors calls....
Thank you God from saving me from the living hell of alcoholism.
