Tonight I’m grateful to read all of the gratitude on this thread…

I’m grateful for the visit with my Mom after work and that she’s getting good care, for the walk I had in the evening sun, and for the comfy hotel bed I’ll crash into now. I’m grateful it’s quiet here and I can see the hills where I used to play when I was a kid from my hotel window, and hear the train at night too - comforting as it reminds me of home!

I’m grateful to be sober and for all the support to be and stay sober, and for all you gratipals and gratidudes.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful that when I went to the dermatologist yesterday, for the first time ever I got to put “none” where it asked how much I drink. NONE!!! How cool is that. Usually I use to write “Plenty!” Or “Lot’s!”
None! I don’t fucking drink!
I’m grateful my check up was good. They had to shave a couple of “thingys” off and send them out for a biopsy but he didn’t seem worried. There were no melanomas anyway.
I’m grateful we had lunch out after at our favorite funkiest cafe.
I’m grateful I got some errands done later in the afternoon.
I’m grateful we are booked at our Y again today to work out.
I’m grateful I’m likening my weenie little workouts 30 minutes 3 times a week and I haven’t hurt myself. And I just have a little of the good burn in the glutes nothing to painful.
Speaking of burns. I’m grateful I got the Ol Burner sitting next to me on the couch.

Yesterday, I had to go to Coos Bay and cash a paycheck. I ran into a good friend while I was there.

He is/was a fisherman and a drinking buddy. He is a good guy.

They found him unconscious, barely alive. He was on life support for weeks. They didn’t think he was going to make it. It was drinking that caused this. This was last summer.

He made it. Im grateful for that!

He was drunk when I saw him. He offered me a shot of his favorite cheap whiskey. He had a half gallon. only five or six shots were left. I declined, told him I haven’t had a drop in over 18 months.

He looked shocked. He gave the rest of his whisky to another guy. He said he fucked up. He shouldn’t be drinking. I told him to call me anytime. we could hang out. I related how hard it is to find friends who don’t drink. You found one!

I don’t know if he will call or not.

I’m so fucking grateful that is not me today. I have almost drank myself to death numerous times only to go back after a little bit of “good” behavior. Cunning, baffling, powerful!

I’m grateful for my sobriety, and all the good things that come with it!

I’m grateful for my family, I love them all. I’m grateful for my friends. I’m grateful that I continue to work on all these relationships, self, higher power, family, friends, colleagues and it’s not easy but thankfully there are days when all the work pays off. I’m grateful that I have learned to accept that said days can be far and few away and that its all a continuous process. I’m grateful to be learning to enjoy the moments. I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for food and shelter and clean clothes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and that I have a step work group tonight. I’m grateful that I’m cooking a roast and all the fixings for dinner.

I’m so thankful to see this thread full of people setting an intention for gratitude on the daily! I might not post often, but I read it every day.

I’m thankful for spiritual guidance and for maintaining my program despite my imperfections.

I’m thankful for my life and the hardships that brought me to seek recovery and a way to find freedom from the inhospitable place my mind can be at times.

I’m thankful for the afternoon that I spent with my spouse working to improve our little patch of dirt.

I’m thankful for perspective. The discomfort of struggling to meet goals, even small ones, used to be enough to launch into a bunch of insane thinking. Now, I can see all that I’ve done in a relatively short period of time. All credit to my HP, of course.

I’m thankful for the shared vision that I have with my spouse and the progress we are making in communicating our different ideas on how to get there.

Today I am grateful for the beautiful weather and the time to spend a little of the day outside. I am grateful for a much less stressed life/job/home situation than I think I have ever had in my life. This is helping immensely in my sobriety and getting my health back to where I am confident I can be. I am always very grateful for TS and the awesome people who share and connect through it.
