I am so grateful to be sober today. I’m grateful for a fresh week and to have celebrated a friends one year anniversary yesterday. I'm grateful for the support in the rooms and to finally be feeling a little better. I'm grateful for all the love I felt over the weekend and for feeling a little less stagnant.
Good morning my friends and happy Monday! I’m working on pivoting pure dread about a new work week intro gratitude that the week is fresh and filled with possibilities :) So thank you for allowing me to start the week off with you!
I’ve been a little (a lot to be honest) wrapped up in myself over the past few weeks and over the weekend there were two celebrations - a birthday and an anniversary. Both were exactly the reminders I needed that everything isn't about me. To watch sober friends show up for these two people and to feel so incredibly proud of the person who just celebrated one year reminded me of how much love there is in the rooms of AA.
They reminded me that no matter how bad a day, a week, or a month can be, at least we are all sober and at least we all have each other. I am definitely not the first person in the world to be experiencing pain, but the best medicine to me is being there for other people.
So today, I hope everyone has a wonderful day and feels a little extra love wherever you need it. In the meantime, I'll see you again on Thursday!
With so much love always,
Jane
I see that you are publishing a daily gratitude list yourself and that it was loaded with gratitude for others who helped you get out of your own head which is always a dangerous place to be. And I am grateful for you helping me get out of my own head because I came home from the hospital to the middle of an unrelated family problem that I wasn't ready to deal with but as the grandfather I have to. Luckily you can't work on a gratitude list and snivel at the same time so I'm going to have to get out of my head and into action.
