Grateful for my family friends and Drs etc and god
Today on my 13th day of recovery, I am grateful for the fact that it is payday and I can fill the fridge and pantry with healthy (and maybe a few not so healthy) foods and supplies and not one penny will be used for alcohol. Only nourishment will happen here, nothing that depletes the soul. That is a promise I can make to myself today. I am grateful that my son comes home today and we will be able to catch up on all of the sports news that took place over the last week including the NFL draft. I knew very little about sports until I had a son and now that he is a teenager, I keep up as much as I can so we have more to talk about. Finally, I am grateful for the Grapevine I picked up at my last meeting that specifically talks about resentment. I am learning that will be a crucial step along the way of sobriety and, likely, a lifelong checkpoint. I know my resentments, and I have so many, have indulged my alcoholism, contributed to relapses and led to binge drinking over and over again ruining perfectly wonderful days or weekends. I am so grateful to be learning so much from these programs and all of you.
Today Iām grateful:
- that my husband is a kind, sensitive and caring man.
- that Miss Lupeās cough went away within a day of taking medicine and I had a good conversation with the vet yesterday with a plan going forward.
- for sunny, warm days and leaves and flowers popping out all around, and that my allergies have been tolerable with this first blast of pollen.
- for several headache and arthritis/joint pain-free days in a row, a medication regimen and lifestyle change that seems to be helping, and hope for a life with more freedom from pain.
- for a weekend plan that includes a good balance of work and play.
- for waking up rested, happy and sober.
Always grateful for you all. 
Yes!!! This is amazing. Iām so very proud of you. So amazing ![]()

Im grateful for 35 days clean and sober
Iām grateful that I recognized that I was angry and checked it. As my dude Ice Cube once said, āToday was a good day!ā
Good morning family.
Today I am grateful to have some more spare time to be creative now that school is over.
I am grateful that I have been blessed with patience is recovery.
I am grateful that my eyes have been opened and that I see the value of every single addict in my life.
I am grateful for music and the moments I get alone with it.
I am grateful for the courage i have found to try new things.
I am grateful for my French press and the deliciously strong coffee it makes for me, helping me start my mornings.
I am grateful that my two friends on the mainland were bumped up on the immunization priority list and were inoculated last Thursday. They are in a very high risk Covid area.
I am grateful that the time for my immunization is getting closer.
I am grateful that I have people like Tanya @Rockstar24777 @eph-M-eral and @anon27760155 in my life, as we walk together through this crazy life of recovery they are all showing me that staying clean and sober through emotional hardships is possible. I can not express how grateful I am for that.
Embrace today people, its the only ātodayā you get. 
Grateful being sober. Still. And determined.
Grateful to be here, reading peopleās stories, victories, lessons, getting up. Helps me to get a better perspective on my own life, failures, victoriesā¦
Grateful for my brother, some good friends. Grateful I see them as such.
Grateful that maybe I am about to move forward in not seeking validation in people where I will never find it.
Grateful having a job, food. Grateful it is raining. Grateful for a calm, if not boring weekend ahead of me 
Iām grateful to God I donāt drink.
Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful we went to the brew pub yesterday for lunch. As I was watching a beautiful Bloody Mary walk by I had NO urge whatsoever. And my wife said āquit looking at that
ā She caught me staring at it.
Iām grateful my son got a group counseling job for addiction in a not so nice neighborhood in Dallas.
Iām grateful when he got home he called them back and told them he didnāt want the job. They offered more money. He was kind and honest and just told them he doesnāt want to work with addiction like that anymore. Heās already given back by volunteering on āskid rowā and āthe hoodā in LA. And so much more. And he really wants to keep looking and trying to get into private practice work. Iām so fucking proud of my boy.
Iām grateful to God he is clean and sober so long I canāt remember. š„² and heās learning real life lessons and decisions.
Iām grateful I can support his decision because now that heās 31 and has never really had a job, sometimes he feels pressured to work.
Iām grateful to God I know heāll get there.
Anyone need a therapist is Dallas let me know. I got a wonderful connection. 
Iām grateful my daughter texted me this morning too. She said āeverything is fineā but I want to talk to you guys when you got a chance.
Iām grateful miracles DO HAPPEN in recovery.
Iām grateful I got 2 of them. š„²
Shit. Whereās the tissues š„²


Iām grateful for all of you at TS.
Letās kick some fucking addiction ass TODAY It can be done and life gets better.

Awwwww that was really cool of you to say that!!! Iām grateful for you too and to be on this journey with you as well!!! 

So much gratitude today. Iām back for another.
Iām grateful we just got off the phone with our daughter. She withdrew from her masters program and really really wants to pursue her art. She was kind of afraid to tell us as any child no matter how old would be. And the sound of relief and tears on the phone when her parents. Thatās us
. Totally supported her decision. Poor thing must have been thinking about this awhile. Sheās just decided she doesnāt really want to be doing this social work for the rest of her life. As Iāve said, both my recovered miracle addicts, have already worked quite a few years giving back and helping in these types of fields. They are both learning great life lessons. Sheās so creative.
Maybe the migraines will slack off.
Selfishly Iām grateful I will be able to see my daughter more now when we are in Santa Monica. We wonāt have to worry about all her school work.
Grateful @Irisees919 is learning about resentments.
That was and still is a battle for me. But I am winning that battle. Itās hard to let go. Even knowing that āitās like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to dieā. Itās still hard to just let go. But when you do it is so freeing 
Iām grateful for all the gratitude here. Itās over flowing.
Gratitude is the nectar of recovery

Ahhhh!!! So grateful Eric is sneaking away early from work (aka flexing his time) so we can enjoy this gorgeous sunny day and take a nap in the hammock!!! Happy Friday!
Iām grateful for this day where I got to sleep well. Where I didnāt had to get out of the door till 15:30, just to pick up a funny nice printed t-shirt. Grateful that after picking up the shirt I passed my old bar, where two of my old mates were sitting outside (the outside areas of bars reopened two days ago). Grateful to spent a little time with them, the only two people I know from there I still call my friends.
Today Iām grateful for all my friends. Iām grateful I feel relaxed by myself today and satisfied I donāt have to do nothing in particular. That I can listen to live music on youtube for the better part of this day, that I know Iām not alone despite tonight Iām by myself. With Luna that is of course, to whom (
@RosaCanDo) I am very grateful for being in my life. Grateful for all of you, sharing your gratefulness and so much more with all and me. Grateful Iām not alone. Love.
