Bedtime Gratitude - Part 41 - All Are Welcome
This is Stage 2. The "violet" came out cornflower blue. Maybe the magenta will do better; it's a different brand.

Not so much.
Grateful I did color my hair even if it didn't come out as I planned. It had been a long time since I put any fun colors in it.
And grateful I didn't obsess or freak out when my brother & I got lost-ish while cycling today. It wasn't like we were out in the sticks or anything. Glad I can have the attitude that in town "you can only get so lost!"

I, too, am trying to learn to do this and to sort of apply this to all areas of my life. Sometimes I remind myself to "go where I'm wanted." Meaning go where I am supported, accepted, respected and stop trying to force myself where I don't fit or feel good. It's a s-l-o-w process for me but I think it's the right path.
Grateful for rest days today and yesterday. So very much needed. I'm still not 100% or even close yet, but much better and grateful for all improvement.
Grateful for the order for supplements I just made and that I have the ability to pay for them with housesit money I earned! Feels so good! And I have high hopes for them helping me.
Grateful that when I told my new doctor about my addiction in our appt. the other day she was so mellow about it. I had been totally worried and stressing and she was almost like, oh is that all? Not in an uncaring way but in a nonjudgmental way. We have a lot more talking to do about it but that was a really stress reducing first convo!

I'm grateful for 1 day sober again after my relapse fri night. (Losing 2 yrs)
I'm grateful I'm safe and unharmed and have ability to meet my needs.
I'm grateful I found something other than AA (this community) where I can get the unconditional love and support and care I need right now.
I'm grateful I found the app! So I can stay connected even easier.
I'm grateful for the possibility of new friends and new beginnings.
I'm grateful that here, even though I slipped, I still feel like I have something to offer and feel comfortable offering it.
Thank you God and thank you guys for my life and my recovery today.

Grateful to be in my new home. Watching the sun go down in the distance from the window. Surrounded by boxes. The sounds of BB King singing in the background. Exhausted with the dog gently asleep on me. So so happy and grateful tonight. I just can't believe it's real.
Grateful sobriety is the miracle worker people said it was.

Grateful for new episodes of Bones and old episodes of Angel. It's not that I'm a huge DAvid Boreanaz fan, but the shows he's been in rock!
And grateful I'm driving rather than flying to the ABA conference. I don't have to worry about being on time to catch a plane. That is a HUGE relief.

Grateful for this wonderful housesit that is now coming to an end (sniff), I really enjoyed it, needed the rest and got a ton of kitty love to fill myself up with. (Grateful I let myself end a sentence with a preposition even though it goes against all those years of being told I can't. )
Grateful I was able to find calm after waking up with anxiety. Grateful for Reiki which I have been trying to do every morning to change the daily anxiety to greater calm.
Grateful for the wisdom, support, advice, love and care of friends here at SR and elsewhere.
Grateful I get to see my kitty boy tonight though I will miss my housesit kitty.
Bye for now, will be back as soon as I can.
