Good late afternoon, all.
My working day changes the time that I can get onto TS. Grateful that I have a job and colleagues that I like. Grateful that the start to the new academic year has been manageable. Everything is so much easier sober. Grateful that I have finally discovered that.
Grateful for all of the shares on here. I love this thread.
Grateful that the thoughts of drinking that flashed through my mind when I got home from work were only fleeting, and that I felt robustly in control of them. Grateful that I noticed their existence and that I can try to work out where they have come from. I suspect fatigue and dehydration.
Grateful that my kids are still enjoying the last week of their summer holiday, so life still feels free and easy when I get home from work.
Grateful to be sober. Grateful that I no longer have a permanently upset stomach. Grateful that my anxiety is almost nonexistent nowadays. Grateful to be clear headed. Grateful that I no longer hate myself.
Grateful that it is a beautifully pleasant evening.
Have a great sober day, all.

Bedtime gratitudes…

I am grateful to be going to bed sober after having spent my shift at work hangover free.

I am grateful for the comfy pjs and blankets that I have and for my cat that is all cuddled in.

I am grateful for this rainy morning which will make it easier to sleep soundly (no lawnmowers today!). :two_hearts:

Congrats @NCgolfer22 on 60 days!!! Today I am grateful for another sober and hangover free morning. I am limited on time this morning and will keep it brief, I have enjoyed reading everyone’s gratitudes!I am grateful to see my mom today and know how she is doing and to be able to give her a hand around the house where needed as well as deal with meds, bp etc. She is about 8 years sober (not a day counter ) so being in the presence of sobriety is super helpful. Wishing all of you a healthy day. Appreciate you!

I write my gratitude lists daily and share with some of my fellows. Today was the first day I found it hard to feel grateful actually. I had a dream which rattled me last night, a using dream, which felt like it lasted all night, and woke with a sense of dread of fear of spiralling out of control. Also that and the fact that so many people in the meetings have recently relapsed brought me down somewhat.

But 8 hours of doing constructive things, a meeting, and a call, and i’ve managed to reframe things :slight_smile:

Today I am grateful for:

  • Being sober another day
  • Having a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in
  • Having the motivation to get down to some work i’ve been putting off for a good week
  • A positive meeting with my therapist yesterday
  • Advice from the hive mind of facebook on getting our catflap fitted, and saving almost £100
  • For a fellow reaching out yesterday to me
