Daily Gratitude List 10.31.22
Sober Girls Edition
I am so grateful to be sober today. I am grateful I had the opportunity to speak at a meeting last night, I'm grateful for meeting with my sponsor yesterday and for starting to feel like my light is coming back. I’m grateful to live in such a beautiful city that is always alive. I’m grateful for change, having someone who guides me through where I can be better, for an old friend who reached out and for a peaceful morning.
Good morning my friends and happy Halloween! As always, I’m also so grateful to start the week off with you and I hope we’re all feeling a little spooky today ;)
First of all, did you listen to the latest episode of Breakfast with an Alcoholic yet? It’s an anniversary edition…our very own Randall celebrated three years on October 22nd so we chatted about anniversaries, about how being alcoholics is kinda like being spies and more. Give it a listen :)
I know I mentioned last week that I recently started working with a new sponsor and yesterday we took one of the last opportunities we’ll have for a while to sit in the sun at the park and do some reading. The little kiddos dressed up as cookies and milk, dinosaurs and princesses made sitting in the park extra special.
But we really started to dive into some work and she did not hesitate to point out to me (in the most loving way) where I need some improvement. Which is part of why I love her so much, she understands me like no other sponsor has before and knows exactly how to get it across to me where I need that extra guidance, without my defenses automatically going up.
Anyway, after we met yesterday I rewrote some of the things we talked about so I can easily refer back and I started to feel my light again. I’ve been a little lost in the darkness lately but I feel it from so deep inside of me, that little light of hope, and positivity and growth and change and happiness again.
I hope I can share the light with all of you, that anyone who has been struggling feels that light and warmth inside of them this morning too, however small it may start out. And I hope we all do a little extra haunting today (the good kind of haunting!) with the ghouls and the ghosts on this beautiful Halloween day :)
With so much love always,
Jane
