that my husband is a kind, sensitive and caring man.
that Miss Lupe’s 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.
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 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@M-be-free49 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 “today” you get.
Grateful being sober. Still. And determined.
Grateful to be here, reading people’s stories, victories, lessons, getting up. Helps me to get a better perspective on my own life, failures, victories…
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
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m 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 “quit looking at that ” She caught me staring at it.
I’m grateful my son got a group counseling job for addiction in a not so nice neighborhood in Dallas.
I’m grateful when he got home he called them back and told them he didn’t want the job. They offered more money. He was kind and honest and just told them he doesn’t want to work with addiction like that anymore. He’s already given back by volunteering on “skid row” and “the hood” in LA. And so much more. And he really wants to keep looking and trying to get into private practice work. I’m so fucking proud of my boy.
I’m grateful to God he is clean and sober so long I can’t remember. 🥲 and he’s learning real life lessons and decisions.
I’m grateful I can support his decision because now that he’s 31 and has never really had a job, sometimes he feels pressured to work.
I’m grateful to God I know he’ll get there.
Anyone need a therapist is Dallas let me know. I got a wonderful connection.
I’m grateful my daughter texted me this morning too. She said “everything is fine” but I want to talk to you guys when you got a chance.
I’m grateful miracles DO HAPPEN in recovery.
I’m grateful I got 2 of them. 🥲
Shit. Where’s the tissues 🥲
I’m grateful for all of you at TS. Let’s kick some fucking addiction ass TODAY It can be done and life gets better.

So much gratitude today. I’m back for another.
I’m 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. That’s us . Totally supported her decision. Poor thing must have been thinking about this awhile. She’s just decided she doesn’t really want to be doing this social work for the rest of her life. As I’ve 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. She’s so creative.
Maybe the migraines will slack off.
Selfishly I’m grateful I will be able to see my daughter more now when we are in Santa Monica. We won’t 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. It’s hard to let go. Even knowing that “it’s like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die”. It’s still hard to just let go. But when you do it is so freeing
I’m grateful for all the gratitude here. It’s 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!
I’m grateful for this day where I got to sleep well. Where I didn’t 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 I’m grateful for all my friends. I’m grateful I feel relaxed by myself today and satisfied I don’t 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 I’m not alone despite tonight I’m 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 I’m not alone. Love.
Today I’m grateful for:
Support in all its different forms
Perspective on my life, home, culture and overall reality
Perseverance- at sobriety, health, motherhood
Sleep
Hope
Bees, trees, flowers, grass
Fresh air, clean water and a warm bed
I’m grateful for my home and the space to hunker down and just be alone for a bit. Grateful for film. Grateful for fresh mint and lime in tonic. Grateful for hope.

welcome @Stephenmurray we’re grateful to have you. Talking sober has alot to offer I’m grateful to have taken the time to explore lots of different subjects and links and have interacted with some wonderful people. I hope you enjoy your experience too.
I’m grateful to God thank you giving me the energy to have a productive day. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m greatful that I accomplished things while home alone today. I never used to and now it’s natural. Get the day off and do laundry, groceries and clean the house not sit around watching movies getting high. I’m grateful that I went for a bike ride to go enjoy a meal and get some excersise. I’m grateful for music playing in the background or foreground, classic rock or rap or country, classical or nature sounds, even the EDM or whatever it’s called that the guys were dancing too, smiling for a change. I’m grateful for my family and another nice chat with Mom this afternoon. I’m grateful to God.
God bless you all. &
