Good evening all, today I’m grateful that I can be easy on myself. I wasn’t very productive today, and definitely not very motivated to do much. I felt kind of off. But I realize that everyone has days like this, so I let myself take it easy. Tomorrow is a new day. Grateful to have TS to read through when I’m feeling funky. Grateful for you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Grateful i got out and running at 6h30. I love this time of the day in my home town. Reminds me of being home somewhere.
Grateful for being sober. Was thinking about how not I would have handled the pandemic when still passing out each night. Also now when my grandma said that war was well worse. It is true. At least what I have here in Germany.
Grateful having a job, a roof and clean water, health care system. Grateful I let the imagination of having a free will go. I am part of something.
Grateful also seeing April blossom (@apes2020) and taking care of herself.

Late list from me,
I am grateful that my Fri-Yay CA meeting was amazing. Such heartfelt shares, I always cry at that meeting.
I am grateful for texts/calls from people in recovery, we can not do this alone!
I am grateful for the 30 min cuddle my daughter gave me when I got home, and her words… “we always have such nice conversations when we are tired.” 
I am grateful that my girlfriend seems to be recovering well from COVID.
Sarah, @Clarity , I am happy to hear that you got him into the vet in time that they could help him, you are a great mumma.
I have so much more to be grateful for but I will end it with being grateful that I can close my eyes now and call it a night.

Plus lots more, but that seems like a good list to start the day with

Today I am grateful for a Saturday morning with no hangover, the sound of baby birds outside the window that just have just hatched in the last day or so. I am grateful my son is now requesting haircuts instead of me having to “strongly encourage” (also grateful for his girlfriend for this). I am so appreciative of the strong individuals in this community that inspire me every day!

Good morning sunshine,
Grateful to wake up naturally this morning and not to an alarm. I still wake up at the same time, but I feel more rested. I’m grateful that I feel pretty good this morning, after having an off day yesterday. I’m grateful for this thread, and the Foodies thread, and the nature photos thread. I love them all. I’m grateful for the regulars and here, and for new ones too. I’m grateful I have learned that I can choose gratitude, and it makes a very big difference in my life.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I didn’t drink at lunch yesterday. Late lazy Friday lunch in a nice restaurant where usually I would have started cocktailing. Enjoyed myself a lot with my sparkling water. And was still able to get things done after lunch late Friday. Who knew?
I’m grateful the sun finally came out here in sunny California.
I’m grateful I got the a/c checked which threw off our morning routine. And we got other stuff done and still had fun.
I’m grateful for flexibility in my day. I didn’t work out. I forgot to weigh in and… who cares? I can do it tomorrow or the next day or Monday.
I’m grateful I scheduled in not drinking yesterday. And I’m not drinking today. And guess what? I’m probably not drinking tomorrow. 
I’m grateful for all the love from my pets. That’s a lot of love right there.
I’m grateful we have nothing on our schedule for the weekend. Except a dinner res at Katsuya tonight 
I’m grateful for what I’m learning about myself being sober here on TS and especially all you gratitudes.
@M-be-free49 thinking about you and mum. I hope all is as well or better than can be.
Not drinking makes me a lot happier.

I’m grateful that when plans changed today I consciously decided how to make the most of my time. I’m grateful for hot baths. Grateful for healthy food. I’m grateful for music and dancing alone in my home, just for the fun of it. I’m grateful that I am feeling more myself lately but that I’m continuing to do the work, fighting the risk of complacency.

I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you. I’m grateful for my family and that I talked with my Mom last night and today. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for balance and when I find it how good life can be. I’m grateful that I stopped to take a photo on my bike ride home tonight.
I’m grateful that I had tacos for dinner since I have been making pizza at the treatment center every Saturday for most of the last nine months. I’m grateful for the real talk I got to have at the AA meeting tonight, I needed that. I’m grateful that on my rides today I had three friends with me. I’m grateful for TS and this thread particularly it really helps my mood some days reading all your stuff. People talking about dancing for fun, having a supportive spouse, finishing school, cuddles with their pets, vacations and gardens . Thanks gratidudes. God bless you all.

p.s. Never forget that you Rock, keep it up. Ya you!!

I’m grateful to be home, back in my wee abode that I love.
I’m grateful for a safe trip home today - 2150kms total in 8 days!
I’m so grateful I could see Mom, just be with her, connect with her.
I’m grateful I didn’t overdo it on my trip - and try to jam in all kinds of things. I know I didn’t post as much, but I did what I set out to do: see Mom, keep (sort of) up with work, and just look after myself (eat, sleep, walk). I’m grateful for the beautiful walks I had.
I’m grateful for the delicious cup of coffee beside me. I don’t usually drink it at night, but I brought back my favourite coffee beans (3lbs - why stop at 1? 
) and I could not wait to get home and brew up a cup. But hey, this is better than what I used to uncap/uncork after getting home!
I’m grateful I have a whole day tomorrow to putter and get ready for the week ahead.
I’m super grateful to be sober, to be able to do the hard things, the fun things, the sad stuff and celebratory stuff too - sober. I’m so grateful for all you gratidudes to share this with, and TS too - and for you pals checking in on me.
I’m grateful for another day.

Good evening family,
I am grateful for the time I spent with my parents playing games, then for our fish and chips picnic at the beach.
I am grateful for the three white doves that flew into my sight as I drove this evening
I am grateful that my sponsor answered her phone and I am grateful that calling her was the first place my mind went when my feelings felt too much.
I am grateful for the smell of coffee and the sound of my daughter chatting to her friends.
I am grateful that she is starting to show appreciation on her own, and I am even considering that I might be parenting her ok… I am grateful for that.
Side note: I was talking to another addict mom briefly about this the other day. The amount of shame that we can feel around our behaviours while trying to parent in active addiction runs deep but at the end of the day we were doing the damn best with what we had at that very moment. At least I know I was… every single day. ( There’s that word again… fuck shame. 
)
I am grateful that I can feel again, and I am grateful that I am not as scared to feel.
I am grateful that two shares from last night’s meeting have been on repeat in my head since last night. I love meetings.
I am grateful everyday that I still have time to live a beautiful life and I plan on doing that day by day.
