Iā€™m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to remain clean and sober. Iā€™m grateful for my recovery and the balance it provides if i just get out of my own way and do the work. Iā€™m grateful for all my family and all my friends and all you gratidudes. Iā€™m grateful for the twelve steps and that they are simple but challenging. Iā€™m grateful to be learning to not give up. Iā€™m grateful for music and all the emotions and memories that can be created or remembered. Iā€™m grateful to God.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. I am so grateful for this thread and that I can go back and re-read about all our failures and success. I went to look through some old posts yesterday and next thing I knew over an hour had passed. you are awesome. Ya you!!

Today Iā€™m grateful that I am who and how I am. I rely on myself. I do all the big and small things a day contains. Today with joy, that is something Iā€™m grateful for :blush:
Iā€™m grateful people donā€™t call me too much these days, I therefore feel unburdened. And Iā€™m grateful that I like myself and the things Iā€™m doing today :hugs:

Tonight I am grateful for:

  • this forum. I had a bit of a wobble earlier so I immersed myself within the threads on here and Iā€™ve made it through.
  • my urge jar. Finally got to test it out. I pulled out cork no. 14, which was ā€˜scream into a pillowā€™ so I did! I screamed so hard that I hurt my throat a little. It did feel better though! Hope the neighbors didnā€™t hear, goodness knows what they would have thought :rofl:
  • for Lectio 365. Itā€™s a Christian devotional app and the prayers make great meditations and help me to be more grateful.
  • for my home in this quiet village in England. Iā€™m so glad I moved from the city 10 years ago. I donā€™t miss the noise and crowds of people at all. Give me my quiet roads and birdsong all day long!
  • my furry buddy. I know that whenever I feel stressed I can find him and give him love and listen to his purring and stroke his belly and everything is better in my world.
  • for sleep. Good quality, sober sleep. Not waking in the night at 3am with anxiety and a dry mouth and not being able to sleep again for ages. I donā€™t miss that at all.
    Nite nite everyone. Thank you for this thread :hugs::pray::hugs::pray:

Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

This really hit me! I donā€™t know why, but Iā€™m so grateful for your share and now I think something like an urge jar or other similar tool might actually be useful for me. I never would have guessed so. So, Iā€™m grateful for you and your share! Thank you.

Tonight Iā€™m gratefulā€¦

ā€¦that even though it was a long day, it was a good day.

ā€¦that though the cases here are going up up up, I have tools to manage things so much differently than this time last year.

ā€¦that I love being sober, and that I love my sober life. Iā€™m grateful for TS for when things get hard and I feel an urge - I can just come here and hang out, or reach out, and in no time Iā€™m back to loving my sober life (and being relieved to still be sober). Iā€™m grateful for you Gratidudes and that we can share these journeys.

ā€¦for the dog girl and her mostly laid-back attitude, until itā€™s walk or treat time. :wink:

ā€¦that itā€™s bed time. :orange_heart:

Hello friends! Today Iā€™m grateful:

  • My interrupted sleep was not a problem last night and I still slept well and woke up early and energetic.
  • I woke up to messages from beloved friends and felt loved.
  • That itā€™s a beautiful morning and I could sit on my deck and listen to the cacophony of birdsong outside.
  • That itā€™s Friday even though I thought it was Thursday and I get to spend my evening with my husband and make plans for the weekend.

Always grateful for my TS amigos and this thread. :heartpulse:

Iā€™m grateful to God I donā€™t depend on booze.
Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t get killed in a mass shooting.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m not a POC getting pulled over by the cops wondering if Iā€™ll be shot.
Iā€™m grateful for my ā€œwhite privilegedā€. I didnā€™t ask for it and I think it fucking sucks!
Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t watch the news very much but the racism and hate still creeps into my life. And Iā€™m fucking sick to death of it.
Sorry folks. Thatā€™s all I got this morning. I hope this makes me feel better sharing with yā€™all.
:pray:t2::cry::cry:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Today I am grateful for people genuinely smiling and looking you warmly in the eyes instead of staring to the floor.
A guy I donā€™t know made me smile. He is working as maybe cleaning whatsoever guy and as I was heading off the company ground he stopped me (I was thinking, noo, I went outside the lines, I know I know) and said: since two days I wanted to tell you that you have a nice hat. I said, wow, thank you. So alread accepting a genuine compliment is something for me. Instead of explaining how he is wrong or explaining that it is the oldest hat I have.

Grateful for a good day at work.
Grateful for chill out evening now. No stress. Maybe some minutes of Yoga.
Grateful being sober and able to work on my life working out.
