I’m grateful for my family and all the love in it. I’m grateful for TS and that @I.cant.We.can has been here for a year cheering people on and helping people out-I’m

I’m grateful to have just had the best exhale of the day, catching up on this thread. My week so far has been a trying one, but I’m winding down for the day now, my mug of tea beside me, and turning to your posts and your stories has just been the best kind of company - heartwarming and soulful. I got a little teary thinking about what we all do each day, showing up to our lives now, and our people too…
I’m grateful to you all for being here. I’m grateful I’m going to be in bed soon. Early to bed, early to rise. Sober she goes, and grateful to boot. 
Came across this and thought of all you gratidudes…

I grateful that I caught up on the gratitude thread since I can’t sleep, it really is a lovely breath of fresh air. I’m grateful that my husband and Miss Lupe are making soft sleepy sounds to keep me company. I’m so grateful there is always the guarantee that TS and my amigos will always be here for me and each other, in some form. Grateful to be sober. And grateful I can be grateful when it counts most, when life is feeling tough.

Good morning everyone. I’m grateful for TS and the grati-dudes. I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday. I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my health. I’m grateful that i woke up early again and said my prayers and read my daily readings. I’m grateful that I got a 3km walk in and now I’m at the treatment center to make lunch, dinner and attend a meeting. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for laughter it is the best medicine .

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful my routine early yesterday morning was totally interrupted. I got no readings in. Of course I still did my gratitude. And I’m still here. 
I was able to help other people in need instead. And if I don’t read my devotionals or Bible today I can read it tomorrow. It may not sound like a big deal. But for me it is. I cling to my addictive morning routine of devotionals and Bible readings etc… praying. And I just remembered a relaxation specialist I use to see a long time ago ask me what I thought would happen if I skipped a day? 
Back then I couldn’t imagine it. I don’t know. Maybe it shouldn’t be such a big deal. Maybe that’s the message. 
I’m grateful Benson is on my lap.
I’m grateful how Daisy knows exactly when my eyes open in bed in the morning and then, and only then, she comes over to tamp and purr on me. She never actually wakes me up. But she’s right there the moment my eyes open.
I’m grateful that being stuck here and not seeing anyone for over a year my wife and I had a chat yesterday, and it wasn’t about anything in particular, and I just thought here we are after all these fucking years 38 1/2 and more than a year stuck in the house. And it is still pretty cool. Just chatting away about something. So in a year and a half ??? I’ll be married 40 years . Fuck me! That’s a long ass grateful blessing right there.
I’m grateful my childhood and best friend in Newburyport MA is getting his vaccine. I haven’t lived up there in 48 years and almost never see him. But when we talk or text it’s like nothing has changed. It’s like I just saw him yesterday. And that’s another grateful blessing right there.
I’m grateful I’ve made it to 61 and I can still remember this shit.
Feeling old this morning. 
But good.
Grateful I read this, this morning: Guess who came to mind immediately Brian? @I.cant.We.can
I can’t, but we can

Today I am grateful:
- For relief from pain and my awesome doctor! She’s really been great, and I think she’s an introvert like me so we can be awkward together and it’s okay.
- For the email my husband got that his employer will start giving vaccines to the folks working remotely starting April 6.
- That I managed 30 min on the treadmill just now and got some endorphins.
- That Lupe’s mysterious tummy issue seems to be gone and she’s eating and being silly again.
- And for this gift that came in the mail. We are all goddamned delights! It’s from Effin’ Birds, the art is fun!
