      Hi. I wanted to start a thread we can all add to if we feel like it. A positive thread for what was good in our day today? Was there something in your day that stood out as something good in recovery. I think its always nice to remember the good things that happen to us too…

      Had a good day today. I’ve already spoken to someone focussed on their recovery in a Group. Yesterday I also had a good day. Went on a canal boat with some younger relatives and Santa hopped on half way round. The kids loved it and so did I. Recovery has given me some great things, the little “normal” things are just as important. Good thread p.

      I woke up this morning feeling grateful for all that I have: a husband who surprised me with a tidy house when I got home from work Friday and a relatively lazy Saturday morning to enjoy it.

      What was good in my day today:
      I’m thankful for the GT site, and for the supportive friends I have met here.
      I didn’t gamble.
      I was feeling lonely so I posted on some of the new people’s threads.
      I’m feeling about 50% recovered from my cold. Carole

      I’m feeling 65% recovered from my cold.
      I won’t be gambling today as Danny arrives this afternoon, and we will spend the day getting ready to fly out tomorrow morning to Disneyland with 2 of the grandkids.

      I am grateful that I have a warm house in the middle of a cold snap, a full cupboard, prescriptions filled, loved ones around me and a snow storm on it’s way. Feeling blessed.

      Today I did not gamble
      I played monopoly with my son
      My Christmas tree looks good
      I feel happy inside
      I feel free inside
      I trusted in God.
      I love my little dog who has added to the happiness in my home.
      I am blessed in so many ways.

      As I tend to be on the site in the mornings I’d like to post what I was grateful for yesterday. My partner was supportive and I feel like he is trying to be of a help. I am grateful that we can all grow IF we want to. Laura

      I’m on track to have a gamble free month of December.

      I have decided to go to my daughter’s for Christmas Day, even though I’m somewhat nervous about returning to the country, as I have not been back since I moved to the city.

      I’m feeling better than I was, though I still have a cold.

      I applied for a job today.

      I have had no thoughts/urges to gamble. Carole

      I’ve gotten a lot done even though it is early yet. Posted, cleaned, sorted some of my office, started a list of the things I need to take care of today and in the next few days. I feel accomplished.

      I am thankful that I am feeling happy today. I enjoyed posting on Lizbeth’s thread as it made me think of my Grandsons and brought a smile to my face.
      I also smiled when I read P’s post about eating the crackers and cheese. he he!!
      I am also starting to feel a bit more motivated about this purging after reading Laura’s thread.
      I am choosing to have a happy day today!!!

      I love this thread. It makes me stop and count my blessings, which God has poured on me in abundance.

      Today…

      I had the health to go to work

      I had patience with my son

      I helped someone in work with a problem.

      I received an unexpected invite to join a group for a meal

      I came home to a lovely warm house, sheltered from the bitter cold.

      This morning I realised something. Although it can be touch and go some months,
      Today..
      I am really grateful to still have a home. I know many others are not so fortunate and I know I need to treasure this gift from God and make sure I never do anything to risk losing it.

      I have never spoke to you, but I always look out for your thread. I don’t really know why, you just have a way with ‘getting to the point’ of day to day life and its idiosyncrasies.

      I wish you continued success on the road to recovery !

      I am spending the day with my sick Grandson (cold)

      Today…

      I tidied another bit of the chaos

      My child had a friend round because I am now more in control of the house

      Had a good heart to heart with my other half… Things are healing

      Had a lovely and fulfilling day at work

      Thanked God again for being so privileged to have everything he has blessed me with!

      OMG, I am so excited about such a little thing.

      I saw a lovely trousers and top that I am buying for my mum on payday… Who knows probably a cardigan too. I am taking her to a restaurant when I go home in two weeks. Just because I now can.
      I used to go to weight watchers and their mantra was nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

      I say no slot machine win is as good as being gamble free feels.

      So grateful for everyday I beat this.

      Today I received a phone call from my cousin. I felt so good. We talked about so many things. He is buying his new house in Switzerland and invited me to go and visit him in April or May.
      I am glad I have so many many who care.

      (((Liz))) I’m so proud of your daughter for one year clean, but she definitely has a wonderful role model!
      What was good in my day so far is: starting on my laundry, eating a portioned healthy breakfast, remembering to take out salmon from the freezer for supper, and having a get organized mind set. The cats aren’t fighting at this moment, and Canada won gold in men’s hockey!!! Carole

      Nice afternoon dinner with hubby! Ride in his sport’s convertible.
      Watched Saving Mr. Banks. Bed by 10:00. Good night’s sleep.

      I just feel so happy today.
      God has been so good to me and my family.
      I am lying in bed, the birds are singing and I have enough money to enjoy the rest of the Easter break.
      Could I ask for any more?

      Being there for a friend who has lost a loved one. Dressing up for the Kentucky Derby. Watching it on TV with friends. Discovering my husband makes a great Mint Julep. Joy ride on a golf cart with my girlfriends. Bike riding with my husband. 5 miles. Dinner out with my daughter. Skyping with my son and DIL before they are off to Paris for the weekend…seeing the joy in their faces. Watching Grease and a Disney movie that I can’t remember the name of. Eating Sunday dinner outside in the sun….even if we were wearing our winter coats. ….That was my gamble free weekend! No complaints! Good night, all. have a great week!
