Today I am grateful for waking up early while my wife and son were still warm in the bed.
I am thankful for a beautiful day and loving friends.
I am thankful to be blessed enough to spend the early hours of my day on the water. The place where I can recenter my mind and soul.
I am thankful for all of you!

Today I am grateful:
- For a beauty of a day yesterday, despite some sad feelings regarding the lives of others here on TS. Iām grateful to be able to feel the feels and accept them, but not allow them to derail my emotional world.
- For delicious, nutritious food and that Eric (husband) and I are learning to spend time in the kitchen together to prepare meals for the week. Iām grateful we are learning how to cooperate so that we can each get our dietary needs and I donāt feel like I have to be responsible for feeding him all the time, nor do I have to consume exactly what he consumes (this used to be a big deal with drinking, also, because I always felt some weird need to match him drink for drink. wtf. Thatās done and Iām grateful for that!) Iām grateful I have lost almost 20 lbs since January and that my blood pressure is at a really healthy level. Iām grateful I feel like I am getting my health back!
- That I did some work with my therapist yesterday to follow up with our meeting on Friday, and it feels like Iām finally getting consistent with that.
- That I was sober yesterday and I will remain sober today.
Always grateful for all the folks on this gratitude train!

Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful itās been 481 days since my last hangover.
Iām grateful for the dusting of snow we are getting today. It looks so pretty and will not stick around and be a hassle.
Iām grateful Iām up early to see the snow as it turns into rain.
Iām grateful for my health.
Iām grateful I got Benson on my lap.
Iām grateful my SIL got his first jab.
Iām grateful for my new Bolivian roast coffee. Itās pretty pretty good 
Iām grateful I got a chiropractor appointment today a couple of errands and that our lunch out wonāt be a drive thru.
Iām grateful for the nice fresh spring summer sheets and bedding my wife put on the bed yesterday. And Iām grateful she takes care of that so I rarely have to. Like never. Clean fresh bedding magically appear every Monday.
Iām grateful for the peace and quietness of the morning and time spent with God. Reading the Bible. And doing devotionals. And of course TS.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Iām grateful for my recovery and all the challenges and victories that it allows. Iām grateful for my family and miss seeing them.

Iām grateful I get to make chicken, rice and brocoli for 20 of us for dinner its delicious, it fills my belly and charges my spirit getting to help out.

Grateful for the ability to pay for some therapy. Grateful that the therapist was nice and didnāt seem to mind my unorganised ramblings (wow opening up to a stranger and trying to condense what you want to say is hard). Grateful for a job that requires focus and the ability to do it well. For baths. For my home. For the skill of thoroughly enjoying my own company - I donāt ever take that for granted.

Today Iām grateful for lazy weather, when itās grey outside the house seems to be more cosy as usual. Grateful for funny cats. Grateful we finished some annoying work. Next step ahead. Grateful for an extended afternoon nap and cats that steel my bed. Grateful for a pleasant evening. Grateful to wake up tomorrow sober. Oh, and grateful for crazy books. I laughed to a book about horrible fotos of homes to rent. Have to check the blog too

Tonight I am grateful for:
- finally finding the energy to tackle my disordered eating, as well as not drinking. For many weeks I wasnāt too hard on myself re food as it was definitely better than drinking, but now Iām starting to feel ready to tackle that too.
- for longer days and birds singing.
- for Amazon delivering their mealworms
- for new recipes and beer cheese soup! Amazing
- for soup in general actually. Always feel satisfied after a bowl of soup. Guaranteed.
- for snoozing cats in boxes that make you smile.
- pictures of other peopleās pets, and how much they clearly mean to them.
- for bank holidays and not having to feel preoccupied with drinking.
- good sleep, great books and hangover free mornings.
Nite nite everyone

Tonight Iām gratefulā¦
ā¦that this thread is so full and busy. So many gratitroops! It heartens me so much!
ā¦that my Momās surgery went well, I hear. That sheās getting good care and that Iāll be able to see her when sheās discharged (itāll be a while yet). For the doctors and nurses and care workers that keep doing their jobs in the middle of a pandemic.
ā¦that I had a better sleep last night and ate some food today. That I have no desire to drink. Things would be an outright sh*tshow for me right now if I was trying to deal with all of this with an ever-full wine glass beside me.
ā¦for the supports I have here and in real life, on stressful days, but any day. For this gratitude practice that makes me take note of things (even in the middle of stress) like the taste of licorice tea in the afternoon (my current favourite), hot baths and soft towels, how delicious a nap is.
ā¦for today, and for tomorrow - to do what didnāt get done today, in a slow and steady way.
