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…

I was motivated enough to:
Make a big pot of soup
Make a lovely roast beef dinner and it felt good!!!
I really enjoyed watched curling on tv -
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.

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 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 choosing to have a happy day today!!! -

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 !
-
well done P. That is all we need from a day. As long as we do not gamble it is a progress.
Have a good day P. -

I tidied another bit of the chaos

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.
