I’m grateful for my family and their unconditional support. I’m grateful for my quiet home to return to after a day of working an intense job while battling with a busy brain. I’m grateful for hard but necessary conversations and the humility they teach. I’m grateful that I went to a meeting tonight and felt brave enough to share.

Today I’m grateful:
- for fellowship in recovery and mutual support. It’s the only way I can stay sober.
- for the energy to shower, wash my hair (that I’ll be so grateful to get cut soon!) and feed myself and my husband well today.
- that I’m starting to see the leaves popping out like a green wave on the trees outside my front window. I will be so grateful to see a sea of greens and reds instead of bare branches.
- that I have a good plan for my day tomorrow that will include a walk with Miss Lupe, mowing the lawn, and running some errands that I’ve been putting off. And that I have a better plan going forward for how to structure my day again that will include recovery work.
- Always grateful for you gratidudios.

Today I am grateful for:
- feeling normal again after such a rocky and low day yesterday. I so glad I made it through sober.
- for everyone who took the trouble to help me yesterday and offer support. You really saved me, that was a close one!
- for audiobooks and inspiration. I love that I can just tap a screen and out pours so much wisdom and knowledge from others. We are truly blessed, and I take so much of this for granted.
- for people who forgive. I totally overreacted to something a colleague said today. I did apologize later, and I think she partially forgives me (at least I hope so). I am sorry, it’s not like me to do that.
- for purring friends, who make the world a much nicer place and as said earlier, remind us of what is really important in life.
- for the birds on my garden, and in particular a chaffinch that arrived the other day. I love it when I see new birds.
Goodnight fellow gratitroops, you make the world a better place.

I was sleeping little to nothing and again I can say: thank God I am only tired and not hungover.
Grateful being awake 900 successiv days.
I will share here as I am grateful for this. That I stepped away from being the victim, that I am doomed to be like this forever. Grateful I accepted being responsible for my life and its presence and a good tomorrow. Grateful it more often it stucks me and I see my weird thinking that for example is no one likes me here, I don’t get likes on my posts. Inner chatter I believed every single day while drinking. Now I allow to take a step back and say, no matter what I try to accept me and that is really a big think.
Grateful I love to laugh.
I cannot state: my whole life changed for the better. Well, maybe. I am alive and I don’t want to die every single night. And I am grateful that I get each day a new sober chance to continue a more healthy way to manage my life.

Today I’m grateful:
- for the good rest I got last night and the lovely morning I’ve had so far. I’m grateful my attitude is shiny and I’m looking forward to the day, even mowing the lawn! This feels like a shift.
- for the possibility of seeing a dentist soon for some major stuff. I have to really practice gratitude actively on this one, because there has been a lot of avoidance and dread with this prospect. I’m grateful I have dental insurance and the financial ability to get work done. I’m grateful that dentist offices are typically conscientious about anxiety and worry and I’ve only ever had positive experiences. I’m grateful to be finding the courage to address this big issue that has been weighing on me. Phew!
- for the sunshine and warmer temps today!
- always grateful for you graditroops and graditudes!

Good morning 
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for another beautiful sunny less windy day.
I’m grateful I got Benson on my lap.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today. And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful that we are getting out to Cali soon. I feel pretty strong in my sobriety that when we start going out to nice places I won’t drink.
I’m grateful when my mind wonders to the way I use to have fun in Cali, not too long ago, I just bring it back to today. And I’m not drinking today. And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful I think our best friends in Austin might come and stay with us in Santa Monica for a long weekend. They are very responsible drinkers and talk a big game but I’ve never seen them have more than one or 2 drinks. Damn them 
meanwhile my wife and I are usually are getting plastered around them. Not any more! The thing is they will be really proud of me. And happy for me. We don’t have many friends. But having one set of real friends like this is something I am very grateful for.
I’m grateful for the new @moderators and the (I hate to say “old”) but grateful for the moderators that have been here before the new ones. Thank you.
I’m grateful it’s my sisters birthday and we are friends again. We had a pretty wicked falling out for a couple of years when my parents were deep into their dementia at the very end of their lives. It was horrible. Apparently that can happen during those stressful times in life. Or end of life. But everything is good now and it really makes life so much easier.
Wrap it up Eric
I’m grateful for all the gratidudes. Ya YOU!!
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
Brings peace for today,
And creates a vision for tomorrow.

Today I’m grateful for friends. Coming over, sharing their lives, good talks, exchanging seedlings … After more than 1 year of lockdown this feels really good. Grateful for my pragmatic lawyer who does his job very well. Real estate issue, no big deal, just has to be fixed. Grateful I have room in the glashouse now my friend picked up the seedlings I grew for her.
And laughing grateful for 3 cats in the house - great show today
Edit: I just realized that I only have good = green days according to the diary function of the app. Thanks Robin for that. Seems I like my life as it is

Tonight I am grateful for:
- another sober day and hangover free morning tomorrow.
- for being able to come on here and vent or join in with others having a good vent. I love it here.
- for @erntedank and the awesome message I read this morning. It really made my day.
- for finding the time to study and practice French again. I love language, travel and learning about different cultures. Can’t wait to travel again. Just didn’t seem to be able to find the time to study while I was drinking, how unusual
- for quotes and others that take the time to share them. My new favorite is below:
‘I stay grateful to stay sober. I stay sober to stay grateful.’

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 and that I haven’t smoked anything in 200 days, this coming from a guy who pretty much smoked every and anything you can think of, my lungs are particularly grateful. I’m grateful for all my family and friends and all you Gratidudes. I’m grateful for persistence because with all this world throws at us it doesn’t make this sobriety thing easy. Proud of us. I’m grateful that I’m cooking some grub for 15 of my wayside brethren and got the country tunes jamming not a group fave but it’s my kitchen this afternoon deal with it boys. 
God bless you all.

Hello out there wherever you are! I have not posted on the gratitude thread in quite some time so here goes a short one. Today I am grateful for
A friend I can count on to be there for me.
Sobriety giving me the desire and courage to take care of some things that I have neglected for far too long.
These are just 2 things, but they are huge for me right now.
Bye for now…
