Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

I’m grateful for this topic or thread. It’s so worth carving out some time in my day to realize how grateful I am to be sober every day. I haven’t missed a day yet. Reading every one else’s gratitude is also a tremendous help. It’s my strongest tool. And it works.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful to be watching a movie with my son tonight. I’m grateful its cloudy and thundering for a bit- maybe we will get some rain. I’m grateful for my dogs and rabbit. I’m grateful for lamps, I only had overhead lights for a long time, and I love the cozy light from a lamp.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

Good morning, all.
Grateful to have been woken up by a tropical storm this morning. It had rained for days so we really needed it. It’s much cooler now.
Grateful to be hangover free.
Grateful to be in apparent good health. I feel good at the moment - although I worry about saying things like this because I don’t want to tempt fate. When I think about the aches and pains that I used to get, I can’t believe that I let it go on for so long, or at all.
Grateful for the July plank challenge. It encouraged me to do something that I would never have stuck to on my own. Now that I can feel the benefit, I may be a planker for life.
Grateful for every single one of the shares on here. I love reading them and tracing back to why the writer is grateful, and how they relate to my life and my situation.
Have a great day. :blue_heart:

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for my new bag of French Roast coffee beans. Truthfully the French Roast beans smell way better than the coffee taste. I’m grateful I’ll be gone and my wife can drink it :crazy_face: she can’t tell the difference.
I’m grateful God made the coffee bean :pray:t2:
I’m grateful the gray cats took turns nestling in the crook of my shoulder in bed this morning gently tamping and purring, it was just too early to get up and feed them at 5.
I’m grateful Benson the ol burner is on my lap.
I’m grateful I get to fly tomorrow sober for the first time in forever.
I’m grateful 2 of my 4 devotionals this morning were about ODAAT. :thinking:. I mean I know that shit. We all do. But it is always nice to have that reminder or refresher. Especially since I woke up thinking about tomorrow’s flight. And how I’m ready for it. I believe for better or worse God is telling me ODAAT. And I guess I needed that.
I’m grateful I’ve done all I can for my wife to have the house in order. Well my part of the house anyway.
I’m grateful I won’t have to worry about my pets when I’m gone. Our pets :heart_eyes_cat:
Im grateful we both talked about how strange it is that I’m leaving her. :hushed:. We haven’t been separated in about 2 years. I’m grateful God has made us one and has kept us one for over 38 years. Im the luckiest guy ever.
I’m grateful I have this gratitude thread to come to every day. This keeps me sober. By the grace of God.
:pray:t2::heart:
God can’t heal what we won’t own.

Good afternoon all,
I’m grateful for a productive day of working in the yard with the family. I’m grateful for the bicycle ride with my husband today- I’m really grateful that he found this way to exercise instead of running, and it seems to be helping his feet. I’m grateful for the joking around we did on the ride. I’m grateful that we ordered steak for dinner and baked potatoes. I’m grateful that I have a very good friend at work who helps me with life stuff. I try to do the same for her too. Safe travels to Gratidudes who are traveling- safe and sober.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

This evening I’m grateful that I’m okay. Emotionally, mentally, physically (minus my shoulder) financially, and spiritually. I’m grateful that I now have an amazing relationship with my children that I thought I had lost forever, when all they wanted was the sober version of me. The good mother I was when they were little. I’m grateful that I have a fiancé that is proud of me, that is no longer ashamed of my actions and has finally set the date for us to actually get married after years of being engaged. But mostly I’m grateful that I’m learning about myself, learning to love myself and doing little things for me doesn’t make me a bad person it makes me human. I’m grateful that I know mistakes are okay and I can learn from them… that they aren’t the end of the world :earth_americas:. And I’m so grateful for TS!!

Good morning, all.
I am grateful to be hangover free this morning. Had dinner with three normal drinkers yesterday evening and was a little bit sad that I couldn’t join in at first, but that passed quickly. We had a great laugh and a lovely evening. Grateful that I was able to join in without any embarrassment or discomfort. Grateful for the beautiful food that our friends made and the delicious dessert that Mrs Singtone made.
Grateful to have slept well for the seventh time this week. It makes such a difference to my mood.
Grateful that I can take three of our four children to be vaccinated today (the little guy is too young), and hopeful that the world can return to something resembling normality sometime soon.
Grateful to have another two weeks of holiday ahead. Teaching is the best job in the world at this time of year.
Grateful that today is Sunday and that we have a special meal for Sunday lunch. Everyone mucks in and we sit together for hours. It really is my favourite time of the week. At first I didn’t think I would enjoy it sober, but it is soooooo much better sober.
Grateful for all of your posts in this thread. It is so important for me to read them. Thank you. :blue_heart:
Have a great day.
