Grateful for today. It has been a wonderful weekend and I am so grateful that I didnā€™t feel anything while people around me had some drinks. I was a little worried how I would feel especially at my sisters house but it turns outā€¦ I didnā€™t feel anything about it. Which is pretty exciting to me. Iā€™m sure it wonā€™t always be like that, but this time it was and Iā€™m grateful. Happy Motherā€™s Day to all the moms (or anyone also taking on that role)!
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

Just like so many others, Iā€™m grateful today for my Mom.

Iā€™m grateful that so many of us today are posting that we have the best Mom. And none of us are wrong.

Iā€™m grateful I got to see my Mom today, that I get to visit with her this week. Iā€™m grateful for all the things she taught me just by how she lived - her love of learning, of walking, of keeping a gratitude journal! Of being in the moment. I guess you could sayā€¦ :point_down:

Ha!

Iā€™m grateful to be sober, to not miss out on any of our time together when we are together. Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t leave her place now and go directly to the wine market. Instead tonight I went to my fave little market deli (with the funky signage above) and got the yummiest garlicky hummus in town. (Wearing mask and 2M distance day after helps!)

Iā€™m grateful for my Gratimom, Iā€™m grateful for this thread, and Iā€™m grateful for all of you.

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

Soon itā€™ll be his favourite!)

Happy Birthday, pal - thank you for sharing that whole last amazing year of your life with us here! Looking forward to the next year and wishing you health and happiness. :orange_heart:

Good morning family.
I am grateful that I was so busy with my mom yesterday I didnā€™t have time to sit to write a gratitude list. I spent the day with her from the moment I woke up until I went to bed and every moment was amazing.
I am grateful that although my own motherā€™s days will never be like a lot of mothers I am learning not to put expectations on those ā€œdaysā€. That my child on the spectrum fills every day with so much joy that hallmark holidays can literally go fuck themselves.
I am grateful that she stepped out of her comfort zone and joined us at the table to play a game yesterday and this was her way of making my day special.
I am grateful that I was substance free to be present for every moment of her being with me yesterday and for every moment with my mom.
I am grateful for the late night texts I have with someone special across the globe, they always are a nice way to end my day and start my morning.
I am grateful that I will be getting my vaccine today.
I am grateful that this is a new week.
I am grateful for the home that I have, the comforting energy it gives me and the safety it provides.
I am grateful for my recovery and all the blessings that are being offered to me because of it.

Grateful for another Sober day I am really appreciating being present in whatā€™s going on around me.

Grateful for my Homeless clients (such a clinical expression)who I fight tooth and nail for because they give me so much backā€¦

Grateful to my named ā€œsanity blanketā€ I taught myself to knit a mitred blanket from day 2ā€¦ I knit most nights and really believe it has been a massive recovery tool. I am using my hands and concentrating on not dropping stitchesā€¦ random balls of wool, I will line it with soft fleece and it will live in my camper to keep me warm and cheerful.

Grateful to you all I mean it, I learn and resonate on here daily thank youā€¦

Morning,
Iā€™m grateful for a really good nightā€™s sleep each night. Iā€™d say that my sleep has improved 100% when I donā€™t drink. Its crazy when I think that I willing and happily drank most nights knowing that I would wake up anytime from 2 or 3 am and not be able to get back to sleep. And the broken sleep would affect my day massively, day after day. Sleep is by far the biggest plus point to not drinking for me.
Have a great day everyone :slightly_smiling_face:
