Iām grateful for the weekend I had. A chance to catch up a bit more on work, catch up on tidying my wee home and puttering in my little patio garden, catch up with a few pals and get a yoga class in too, before I tuck in early and catch up on zzzzās. The good dog girl is already snoring away. 
Iām grateful I had time to process things, to catch my thoughts/feelings up to everything that has happened in a short few weeks. I already know I need to do this after visits with Mom, but with the work and life stuff too I think āthe overwhelmā happened last week.
Iām grateful I feel things so deeply. Iām grateful I donāt try to run from them, and directly into an open bottle. Iām grateful Iām learning new ways of doing so many things, thanks to being sober.
Iām grateful for friends - new and old, here and out in the real world, dear ones whose companionship on this journey of life - and sobriety - makes it seem enchanted, really. For (as our Gratidude Brian always says) humour, yes! For everything that makes me laugh.
Iām grateful to be sober. Iām grateful for all those days, like today - and most days now, when it feels like getting sober was getting a lucky break. The biggest lucky break ever.
Iām in the mood to go on, but itās self-care-Sunday-night and I have a face mask on that desperately needs to be rinsed off! Iām grateful for self-care.
Iām grateful for another day.

Iām grateful that I just came to post my night-time gratitude and there she is adorable @M-be-free49 in her facemask.
Iām grateful to God for all the wonderful people and opportunities he puts in my life.
Iām grateful that I got to go on a bike ride with my friend and housemate today. Iām grateful that I had company over after the NA meeting and we walked up and got some pizza and listened to some live music as thereās been an arts festival going on this weekend just up the street. Iām grateful that I can do this stuff sober and itās fun, as I watched some in the crowd getting wobbly from their brown pop. Iām grateful to be going to bed clean and sober after a nice relaxing day.
God bless you all.

Good morning, all.
Grateful to be clear headed on another beautiful summer morning. Today is my last day off work. I am back tomorrow. Grateful to have not drank a single drop of alcohol for a complete summer holiday. That was absolutely unthinkable for me in my previous life. In the same way that not drinking for a weekend gives the impetus to not drink all week, not drinking for the summer will (hopefully) give me the impetus to not drink for the year. Very grateful for that.
Grateful to be heading out to a water park with the family now for our last summer blast.
Grateful that the football season started again this weekend in the UK.
Grateful that I had the courage to check my work email yesterday. There was nothing to worry about, and now I know that and donāt have to torture myself.
Grateful for all of your posts. They just nudge my needle into the green zone.
Have a great sober day.

Eight days. If Iād drank for those eight days it would have been $160 and 192 hrs of time wasted getting drunk, being drunk, being hungover, then drinking to not be hung over. For today Iām grateful for eight sober days.

Today I am grateful for the sobriety study Sunday I had yesterday and the impetus to continue with as many books, podcasts, blogs and movies/documentaries as I can so I can keep learning and relating. I am grateful for waking up hangover free and even though I stayed up too late last night, I still feel ok and know I will get a healthy night of sleep tonight. I am grateful I am learning more about being an introvert, something I denied in my drinking days. I am learning that some of the things I felt I was āweirdā for was simply a trait of my introvertedness. Pretty sure that is where my disdain for meetings that can be emails comes into play. Iām grateful to be accepting myself a bit more and not so much trying to white knuckle my way through what I always thought I SHOULD do. I think that is what my ex husband of many years ago is still doing and his wife is very much an extrovert and they live to be surrounded by people. I wish I could go back in time and tell him itās OK for us to be quiet and to ourselves sometimes and to not drink. Anyway, moving along, I am grateful for this forum and you all as always and wish you all a healthy day.

Iām grateful for routine. Mostly. Itās a Monday morning and Iām headed back to the office 4 out of 5 days this week, (just when cases are back on the rise, so weāll see how long this lasts). Iām going to use this as an excuse to not work outside of office hours! Grateful for that.
Iām grateful the dog girl will adjust accordingly. She had her noise out of joint last week when I went back to the office 3 days. I think I was still in the doghouse this weekend!, but lots of walks and chats and cuddles, and weāll get through.
Iām grateful for a chance to work on some things, some āletting goā things. The way I see it, though, Iāve only got so much room in me. Like letting go of drinking - it wasnāt a loss at all. Just made room for the gifts of recovery.
Iām grateful I get a chance to deal with two issues of conflict at work in new and different ways. Hopeful successful ways. I think Iād prefer a root canal to these conversations, but I know Iāll feel good about 'em if I handle myself well - regardless how the situations themselves work out.
Iām grateful for coffee. And grateful for another day.
(Oh, and Iām grateful for @Mnoās 800 days! Sharing his journey and pics and support. Love. )

Iām grateful itās Christmas again today 
Iām grateful Iām just going to share this here:
I had a PM with a friend here last night and told him how I didnāt struggle on my 365 1 year milestone. I told him I felt like it was like Christmas. I felt like a little kid just waiting for the big day with gifts under the tree. I was so excited. Now, Iāve never told this to anyone. (I think 
) How it felt like Christmas. My reading today in Believing In Myself had a short story about A guy named Mike. Mike lived on the streets 12 years completely broken. His sober date is December 23. His sponsor told him every day sober is like Christmas. Mike has had his little plastic Christmas Tree lite for his 8 years of sobriety to remind him every day sober is like Christmas.
And that is how God works in my life. God is telling me every day sober is like Christmas. My PM last night and my reading this morning is not ājustā a coincidence. No itās not!! Itās God giving me exactly what I need.
Letās have another Christmas today folks. Weāre worth it.

Tonight I am grateful for:
- another Monday done. Iām so tired at the moment.
- Glad for the good sleep. Even if I do have very weird dreams. They are entertaining.
- great books. I just love my wonderful comfortable bed and a great read. I donāt read at all if Iāve been drinking and I really miss it. I feel like I have a long list of books I want to read so I just donāt have time for drinking.
- for resisting the urge to eat tonight. I really put on weight when I was drinking so I want to get back to my fasting. @Dazercat you have inspired me with you tackling your sugar demon. I hope to join you soon.
- for having some energy to do a few chores after work tonight.
- for Captain Kruger keeping my head warm by sleeping on the pillow above my head. I love waking up with him there. He is my snooze buddy.
- for all of you on here making a difference in your life and those peopleās lives that love you. Keep on keeping on!
Happy sober Monday everyone.

Good morning, all.
Iām grateful to be awake before my alarm this morning. Iām not sure whether itās apprehension, or excitement - probably both. The first day back at work after a long break always follows a terrible sleep.
Grateful for the time that I have been able to spend on here for the last six weeks. I donāt imagine Iāll have the same luxury once the wheels start turning at the fun factory.
Grateful for the time that I have been able to spend with my family over the last six weeks. We are very fortunate to get this time together each year.
Grateful to be clear headed and hangover free this morning. Iām not 100% certain, but I have a strong suspicion that it is the first time ever that I have gone to bed sober the night before returning to work after the summer. Grateful that I will be able to listen and to contribute to my endless meetings today.
Grateful that my first day back is being done remotely, so I get a bit longer in bed and a bit more time to get geared up for it all - but work is work, and the pit of my stomach knows that.
Grateful to have gone an entire summer without drinking. It doesnāt feel real, somehow.
Grateful for all of your shares in here. I have said it before and Iāll say it again, joining this gratitude thread has been a real turning point for me.
Have a great sober day, all.
