Sorry!! Your boss has been a tosser lately 
When I canāt here what someone is saying I usually say Sorry? Now, because of my British friend Julie.
Ya. Yāall apologize a lot. But thatās cool.
I wish you could do your gratitude list by audio?
That. Iād be grateful for.
Be careful what you wish for Eric! 
Having said that, I think it would be brilliant too. As long as people could understand all the weird British accents we have. We donāt all talk like James Bond or the Queen, as Iām sure you know! X
Grateful to be alive and sober
Good morning, all.
Grateful to be hangover free on another beautiful summer Saturday morning. Today is my daughterās birthday, so we have a nice day lined up. So grateful for my daughter. She is such a lovely girl. So kind and loving, and absolutely beautiful - although I might be slightly biased. She makes me laugh a lot, and I am very grateful for that. Grateful for all of my kids and for my wife. Whenever I sit here and try to think about what I am grateful for, they are always the first thought in my head.
Grateful that my boys can start rugby training again this afternoon since the covid measures are easing here in Singapore. Grateful that 80% of the population here are now vaccinated.
Grateful for the basics that are easy to take for granted. Food, shelter, a job that allows me a bit of money in the bank. I am a lucky, lucky boy. I need to recognise that every day.
Grateful for all of your shares.
Grateful to have 222 days AF. I still canāt believe it.
Have a great day, all.
Good evening all,
Iām very grateful itās Friday. Iām grateful for the delicious Pho that we had for dinner. Iām grateful that I woke up extra early this morning because I couldnāt sleep, but that gave me more time to myself, which helped me mentally prepare for a busy day. Iām grateful that I am very tired tonight, but I will wake up better tomorrow.
@I.cant.We.can , I like the new avatar!
@Singtone, I always see your good morning as Iām saying goodnight- thatās pretty cool!
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Thanks for asking Brian. They are terrorising me during the night so I think they are fine. Uploading pics takes so long atm in this app that I am not patient enough 
Good evening everyone
Tonight I am grateful for a place to share parts of myself that I am not very comfortable with.
I am grateful for my new Dr and her smiling eyes and gentle demeanor.
Tonight I am grateful for the 2 hours I just spent with my mom at the ocean, sitting, listening to the waves and the sea birds, just being near each other.
I am grateful for my child and how she is growing into her own amazing person who I am so proud of. I am grateful for her love and support and I hope that she can feel my love and support as much as I feel hers.
I am always grateful for my days without substances because my substance free days give me so much more clarity about where I need to put energy in my life and where I need to put none.
I am grateful for genuine friends and the ability to tell the difference between positive attention and attention with ulterior motives. There was a time when I thought all attention had a motive and I understand differently now.
I am grateful that over the last 19 months I have slowly learned to shed some layers, I am absolutely not good at it at all, but I am learning. I am just so sick of suffering and I know I canāt heal, like really heal, until I shed light on all of my shit.
Lastly I am grateful that recovery has no time limit, that it has no set structure I have to follow. I am grateful that as long as I continue to keep myself facing forward that is the way I will be moving, whatever speed it is.
Bookmarked for life. Thank you, dear pal! Grateful for you - ya you. 
Iām grateful this strange week is over, but grateful all the same that it happened.
I got slammed with something at work, and it means a lot to me professionally and personally, so I put in my time and will still keep working away at it this weekend (though with less pressure) - even though itās hard and makes me a bit sad. Iām not good at going on 4hrs of sleep a night for more than one night, and though I checked in here and there to throw some likes on things, I didnāt post - so tired! Especially after last week with Mom, which was good but a bit hard too.
But - Iām grateful that I can do weeks like last week and this week and come out of them on Day 410 (well, Day 411 now!). Iām grateful I want to be sober. Iām grateful that I donāt see drinking as a way of coping, celebrating, escaping, or normalizing anything. It just takes away my presence of mind, which I needed this week and need everyday of my life.
Iām grateful for all the shout outs and āyo, M!ā and messages from you dear Gratidudes. It means a great deal to me. I hope it wasnāt rude of me to not respond right away, but I tell you - these eyes are weary and bleary from sitting in front of the screen!
Iām grateful I can take care of myself. That when things get sad-hard, I can hold my own heart in my sober hands and give it rest and comfort. That when things turn and I am elated, I can fill my lungs and drink the wild air. And now, that when Iām tired, I can lay my sober head on the pillow and look forward to sweet sleep and blissful coffee to follow.
Iām grateful for another day.
Iām grateful that youāre back. I didnāt want to overreact or show any panic, but I was concerned that you may have left us. Iām sorry youāve had a rough week with work, but from an entirely selfish perspective, Iām glad that thatās what it was.
Day six and grateful to not be hungover this morning.
Today I am grateful to have such great people in my life to help my family get on our feet after moving across the country. Having supportive friends in a new place has made it a much easier transition. Iām grateful to have both my kids in school now so that I can start school myself.
I am grateful to make this transition in life and to do it sober.
Happy Saturday my sober friends 
Grateful i spent some hours outside before it got too hot. Grateful itāll cool down on Monday.
Happy that the girls like water a lot and play together.
Grateful I am still alive.
Iām grateful the first thing I saw on TS is a pic of Paula and Dora that made me smile. 
Iām grateful I didnāt sit on Daisy, 
she got to my chair first.
Iām grateful to God I havenāt had a drink or a hangover in 5 hundred and fucking ninety days!!
Fuck ya !!
Iām grateful Iām on my 3rd day no sugar.
Iām grateful Iām feeling pretty good this morning mentally and physically.
Iām grateful I got another day to sit on the deck and do nothing again 
Iām grateful I have my sourdough bread starter sitting out coming to room temperature. Itās got just the right stink to it.
Iām grateful Iāll have fresh bread to toast with my grilled steak and eggs for lunch today.
Iām grateful for all the support we all give each other here at TS. And all the love
Iām grateful itās going to be movie night tonight.
Iām grateful for my health and home and family and children and my childrenās wonderful spouses and my pets.
Iām grateful for the people in this world that teach our children, first responders, nurses, and doctors.
Iām especially grateful for the essential workers like the guys who pick up my trash every Monday. Or deliver my shit that I ordered on line. Or stocked the shelves in the grocery store. Or cleans the floors and bathrooms in the schools and hospitals and stores. The list goes on ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Iām grateful we donāt have a dick head for a President.
Iām grateful for another sober sugar free day a head.
When you stop drinking you have to deal with this marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.

Iām grateful my favorite writer came up for air and has 411 days AF.
happy tears!
Edit: I wanna see pics later of my fave kitchenās daily output on the foodies thread!
Iām grateful to read your posts again. Iām grateful that I noticed some likes being thrown around by you. Iām grateful that I have sobered up enough and read enough of your stuff to notice the changes in your writing and occasionally pick up a gem like part of todays post.
Iām grateful to have learned and that you have learned to take time away when needed because we matter. Iām sorry that things have been hard. hugs
Iām grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. Iām grateful to see alot of our numbers going up, Congrats on 222 days @Singtone nearly 600 @dazercat
almost a week for @beachmouse @M-be-free49 over 400 and I am proud of my 575 days and I know @Its_me_Stella is around 590, and everyone who is here and fighting the good fight, yāall are killing it.
Iām grateful for my family and that they continue to show me love. Iām grateful to be feeling emotions again, they can still and will probably always seem overwhelming at times. If I can remember that it will pass in time and that I will be better for it, it will help make it manageable. Iām grateful that I am raising funds for a walk-a-thon and it has me emotional as I have never done something like this. Some people from my past have donated and I already surpassed my financial goal and a few of the names that donated made me sad that I ruined those relationships not just for me but for my parents and siblings too 
or so I thought.
Iām grateful that my housemate is home and helping clean up and making me bacon and eggs, fucking right brah. Iām grateful that I get to go cook pizza for about 20 people at the treatmemt center and attend and possibly chair the NA meeting. One of my favorite people from the last eight months is back he looks like Santa but has a big 666 tattoo, actually he is the one who recently said he wishes he could be happy like me, I look forward to presenting him his one month clean keytag tonight. Iām grateful to be enjoying my lovely deck, with a coffee listening to the birds while writing this.
Have a terrific day everyone. God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You are doing great, itās going to be ok. Ya you!!
Yup. I get it. See below. Your courage has encouraged me to post, to share. Thank you for your kind words. (Oh, but ādrink the wild airā is not mine! Theyāre Emersonās words. He gets full credit! )
Thank you too to @Dazercat, @Sunflower, @Singtone, @Alisa and @Charlie_C for reaching out. Grateful for all of you.
I wish I didnāt feel things so deeply.
And thatās the reason I canāt ever try to moderate. Oh, I could sort of moderate when life was relatively predictable and on the level, but when the storms came and the branches bent to the winds, when the waves tossed me about ā open the escape hatch and a bottle of wine. Run. Flee.
I wish I didnāt feel things so deeply.
It mostly doesnāt show. I donāt emote openly, Iām not hugely reactive on the surface. The storms rage inside.
As a child I instinctively took to the hills, grabbed my bike, went outside. Thereās something so undisputably calming about nature ā even just a little patch of undisturbed grassland or forest. Always best for me if itās truly nature, but Iāll take a garden in a pinch.
As an adult I still did this, but it became so much more habitual to hit up the wine market.
It was predictably hard, last week, to see Mom (so much change), but predictably good too. It was unpredictably hard to go to my usual spots for comfort ā like the footpath along the river I played on as a child, routinely returned to in adulthood, especially after putting down the wine glass ā and found the dozers and road builders smoothing the area into what will be 4 lanes of traffic each direction. Offramps galore.
I wish I didnāt feel things so deeply. I wish I grieved normal things. But, the trail! Itās gone, and whatās left of it is not the same. Iāve lost a limb. No, another loved one. And more of home. Gone.
My writing instructor and my therapist are both excited. Iām to mine this feeling, lean into it, use the craft of words and turn these deep feelings into something that honours this place, even if only on the page.
Iām grateful I feel things so deeply. At least, Iām learning to be.
More about last week laterā¦
Tonight I am grateful for:
