Iā€™m grateful to God I donā€™t drink.
Iā€™m grateful to God I donā€™t depend on my booze.
Iā€™m grateful I was actually excited to listen to chapter 4 of the big book on audio while on my walk.
Iā€™m grateful I will be listening to it again today.
Iā€™m grateful my wife cooked last night.
Iā€™m grateful we had movie night last night.
Iā€™m grateful the sun is shining brightly.
Iā€™m grateful for my morning routine.
Iā€™m grateful I will be making doctors appointments. All our doctors are in Santa Monica.
Iā€™m grateful for the first time in a really long time I donā€™t have to think about not drinking for my blood work. I always would try to stop drinking for a month before my blood work so my liver values wouldnā€™t be high. Iā€™d fail right away. That month would then turn into three weeks. Then 2 weeks. Then if I just donā€™t drink the week before my blood work maybe Iā€™ll be ok. I donā€™t drink now. Just do my blood work anytime.
Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t play those stupid fucking games anymore.
Iā€™m grateful I weighed in at my goal weight
AGAIN Friday.
Iā€™m grateful for the 3 1/2 mile trail loop in my hood.
Iā€™m grateful for all the gratidudes.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Tonight Iā€™m grateful for friends and friendships. New ones and old ones. Friends two blocks away and friends half way around the globe. Grateful I still hold friendships from decades ago despite me being a introverted misanthrope who was under the influence from either this or that or both for many many years. Grateful Iā€™ve gotten myself sober and clean and now have gotten the chance to work on myself with the help of so many others. Grateful that Iā€™ve made and am making some new friends now too, something that didnā€™t happen for forever. Very grateful to you all here making it possible for me to change after all these years of stagnation and inertia. Something I could never have done alone as I have tried to go it alone all my life and it brought me to my own personal bottom of my pit where the only way out seemed to step out of is this life. Incredibly grateful I found this place instead, with all you beautiful people in it who all in their own ways work and fight to make their lives better one day at a time, and thus make it possible to me to better my life too. One day at a time. Thanks for having me. Forever grateful. Love.

Tonight, Iā€™m very, very, very grateful for the day that I had.

Iā€™m grateful that bit by bit, the things my mind associates with a drink are disconnecting, getting unplugged, wires frayed and not gonna be replaced.

Iā€™m grateful to be sober, Iā€™m deeply grateful for the connections and friendships here that not only support me in making sobriety doable on the hard days, but make it just that much more enchanted on the good days.

Iā€™m grateful for my life, for my wee home and the means to take care of it, for my job that is happily undergoing a dial-down, for my projects and interests outside of work ā€“ and the fact that Iā€™m really only grateful for these because Iā€™m sober, and the reason theyā€™re going much better is precisely because Iā€™m sober.

Iā€™m grateful that Iā€™m not all twisted up about the increasing cases and restrictions (though acknowledge how serious these are). So very out of my control. I have everything I need.

Iā€™m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Iā€™m grateful for the cold sunny mornings that turn into warm sunny afternoons.

Iā€™m grateful to have one best friend from childhood that months and months can go by sometimes a year and we can still talk on the phone like it was yesterday. Nothing matters like why we hadnā€™t called or texted earlier. No drama just true childhood friendship.

Grateful I have eyes to see.
Grateful for my music and all my cool playlists.
Grateful for yā€™all. Ya yā€™all :sunglasses:

Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
James 3:5-6

Today Iā€™m greatful I woke up sober, well-rested and without alarm clock. Iā€™m grateful for a nice day, a hopefully successful exam (think so :blush:, grades will be provided in a few weeks) and an absolutely lazy afternoon on the sofa as reward for me beeing ā€œa good girlā€ :+1:
Grateful to go to bed sober and happy to wake up tomorrow with fresh energy. I like that lifestyle :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::hugs:

Tonight I am grateful for:

  • a phone call with my mum on Sunday. It was nice to catch up properly. She said she would be happy for me to visit a few weeks after Iā€™ve had my first jab, so Iā€™m really thankful for that and looking forward to it.
  • for warmer days and sunny afternoons.
  • for early morning walk/runs with my FiancĆ©.
  • for having the energy to get up early and not being in a bad mood.
  • for optimism. Without it weā€™re all screwed and thereā€™s serious science now to say that optimism can help you live longer (my free course Iā€™m doing).
  • for Duolingo and the opportunity to learn another language for free! Iā€™m trying French again!
  • for having the energy on the weekend to wash my giant old comfort blanket. Itā€™s too big to go in a machine so it had to have a bath. It smells wonderful now and I canā€™t wait for our next film night and snuggle down under it!
  • for still being sober.
  • for all my fellow gratitroops on here. You keep me inspired. Keep on keeping on!

Iā€™m grateful tonight that the day is winding down! Iā€™m grateful that Mondayā€™s all checked off for another week :wink:
Iā€™m grateful that I donā€™t think of a drink as a reward anymore. Iā€™m grateful that sobriety is the reward - and rest, and a good book and tea and an earlier bedtime.
Iā€™m grateful for second chances and millionth chances, that each day is a new chance - each moment, really.
Iā€™m grateful that despite all the stuff going on in my world and the world, I sometimes feel overwhelmingly content. It just sneaks up on me.
Iā€™m grateful for all you grati-dudes and troops, and your gratitude lists too. Reading this thread is like enjoying a feast - I come away full.
Iā€™m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Grateful for the mind body connection. My body manifests my deepest mental lows in less than uncomfortable ways. But then also is the location where I can feel my will to live return, and the fight. Thanks thanks thanks.

This morning Iā€™m grateful that I had a good, good sleep and can get back to my routine of morning gratitudeā€¦

ā€¦that I only have one zoom meeting and a pretty quiet work day actually just working. I will hope it stays that way, but if it doesnā€™t - thereā€™s the serenity prayer to back me up.

ā€¦that even though it got a bit chilly out again, itā€™s sunny too. Iā€™m grateful the dog girl will look forward to getting us out no matter what the weatherā€™s like.

ā€¦for this ā€œin between monthā€ - itā€™s too soon to plant things outside and get my little garden started, my writing courses are finished and itā€™s a month until the next one starts, but itā€™s a good month to putter away on my home projects, get some good rest, and just enjoy the changing seasons.

ā€¦for my sobriety and the ability to see things so differently in my life with sober eyes. Iā€™m grateful for the support to be and stay sober, for TS and all of the things I learn about myself - even through others, and for you all sharing your journeys too.

This sounds corny - but Iā€™m grateful for gratitude. For the game-changer and mood-changer it is. Iā€™m grateful for my gratimood. :smile:

Iā€™m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:
