Positive Today I'm Thankful For vs. Still Standing and Keeping it Simple

Food, running water, electricity, my animals, a roof over my head.

But most of all I proved once again to myself that I am still strong. Ran into 2 of my old pill dealers in Dollar General about an hour ago and when they asked me if I wanted something I said No !! Damn, I was triggered bad and it took all I had but I did it. Jesus, I got home and thanked my lucky stars that I didn't go to the atm and take them up on it.

I guess I really am recovering.

Be careful NR.. it’s a cycle. Your doing amazing❤️.. just take stock and take appropriate steps to prevent end cycle rotation.
 
Thankful I FINALLY found a place to move into...away from pathological, motherf*cking, gaslighting, attempted murderess cousin. It's above a bar!! So, additionally thankful I do not have a drinking problem. Now, if it was above an opium den... Anyway, I hate moving more than anything and feeling tossed around like a dirty shirt on spin cycle. But damn, I am relieved. And day 3 (again) of no dope.
Love Y'all.

A while back I briefly lived in a pay-by-the-week hotel that was above a strip club. The bass thumping downstairs put me to sleep every night, like a stripper's lullaby.

Glad to hear you made an escape from the toxic situation.
 
Thankful for Ma Nature.

On a smoke break at work today I watched a robin building a nest in a sapling outside the restaurant. She was making a good-sized, sturdy-looking nest; I was impressed with her construction skills.
There are not many trees around and this is a fairly busy part of the city. It's wonderful how Nature perseveres under less-than-ideal circumstances. Reminds me of the quote by George Carlin:

I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic.

Hell yeah!
 
Thankful to have my sobriety back and a nice stable place for my cat & I to live. My neighbours can be loud and sometimes the police show up but that's nothing new for me. Last year I spent time living in a bed bug infested hotel with 2 bars and a liquor store less than 5 minutes away. So it's nice not to have that temptation always there.
