It is kind of magical. My first month I barely posted anywhere else. But I never missed a morning posting my gratitudes. I guess I got 502 of them now. If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

Today I’m grateful for having a job. Today I’m grateful it’s my weekend away from my job and I get to do my own stuff; but there’s no free time without work time. Grateful for the structure my job gives to my life. I need that structure at the moment and I am grateful I can recognize that I do.
Today I’m grateful that I got some useful brains inside my skull. Grateful I didn’t f*ck up that brains too bad with 40 years of poisoning them with all sorts of drugs and alcohol. Grateful they are still useful instruments to do some useful work, work that pays my bills, my roof over my head, my food, and more. Work that sometimes even might be a bit beneficial to some other people then just myself.
I’m grateful that I can sit here in my own place and my own space, on my own computer, in freedom, and think and write and be grateful for what I got which is much, even though I don’t always realize it. I’m grateful for the meal I’m going to prepare in a moment, grateful to my mum for teaching me the basics of cooking, grateful to the herbs that are growing on my balcony and I’m going to use with my fried spuds. I’m grateful for my little cat that shares this apartment with me and who gives me so much joy and love.
I’m grateful that tomorrow my gym reopens and that I managed to book two hours there tomorrow and one on Thursday. Grateful I can go back to group therapy Thursday afternoon. Grateful I’m sober and clean so I can do these things, do them financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally. Grateful to all of you here, being here each and every day again. For each other and for me. In my heart.

I’m grateful that the weather has been warm here lately. I’m grateful that my dear friend @M-be-free49 is enjoying the summer season sober.

I’m grateful that I made delicious lemon and herb chicken for twenty of us tonight it was sooo good. I’m grateful to be relaxing flipping between Nba and Nhl playoffs.

God bless you all.

Good evening all,
Almost didn’t post today because I thought “Today was crappy, I am so frustrated with work, I am tired and grouchy, what do I have to be grateful for.” Then my husband cracked a joke that had me belly laughing, and I made an amazing cup of hot tea that I am now relaxing with, and I read through the posts on here. And I realized that I have lots to be grateful for. Even just for the ability to realize that a “crappy day” or feeling grouchy is temporary- not a reason to drink.
I am very grateful for you guys today. Thank you for being here.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Hey, tomorrow? Go easy on our Sunflower please!

Yesterday was long and I realised I hadn’t posted when I was already in bed and phone off. But I thought of them before sleep - that is significant I think!
Im grateful for the cinema. I’m grateful for my finances and the ability to go out for dinner and cinema mid week. I’m grateful for clarity. I’m so grateful that I feel happy, really happy: stress and worry are emotions that pass by too, but I’m.happy with who I am. What a feeling.

Grateful being sober.
Grateful for I will see the doctor tomorrow and see what he can do for me.
Grateful I got some little things done before the storm. No autumn or summer and storm.
Grateful I have my bike and most of the things I can manage with my bike. Soooo grateful I don’t have to worry about my car.
@Mno I saw a documentary on Groningen and I am very very jealous, I must say. Like a dream come true for cycling.
Grateful it was only 2 in the office today, I had enough work and was working at least. Makes me content.
Edit : watching the Rider atm I am grateful for being mentally more or less healthy, able to manage my life alone. Not depending on a system.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful to have Benson sitting here on my lap this morning as we listen to all the different birds.
Grateful the morning dove popped in and got the cats attention.
I’m grateful for my little contemporary fireplace here with crushed glass. It’s cool enough in the mornings to turn it on and just look really pretty.
I’m grateful for a good nights sleep.
A hangover free morning.
Grateful for the realization that I never have to hangover again.
Grateful for my really long walk about yesterday late afternoon all the way down to the pier.
Grateful I persisted in calling “The Handy Door Man” without getting all pissed off that he didn’t return my first 3 calls and texts last week. Usually I would have said “fuck him!” But he did such a great job on replacing my neighbors door and I just thought to myself. Maybe he was having a bad week last week. Tried him again yesterday on a Tuesday and he texted me back. And will replace my deck door in a couple of weeks.
It’s great being calm and sober and thinking of other people instead of getting pissed off all the time.
I’m grateful for all my gratitude and all my blessings especially the blessings I don’t deserve. Maybe I do deserve them. 
Alcohol will take you to hell disguised as heaven.

I’m grateful this thread exists even if I haven’t posted in a while. It’s nice to know that people are over here feeling grateful every day. I am incredibly grateful that school’s done for the year and I don’t have to go back till late August. Teaching remotely all year has been tough.
I am grateful for the cocoa butter massage I received yesterday from a skilled professional. She was able to work out some of my lower back pain. If I stretch more regularly, I should be able to reset.
I am grateful to have the luxury of time this summer to read for pleasure, take long walks, eat healthier, and be creative.
Grateful for all of the birdsong in my neighborhood. It’s really cheerful.

It has been a very difficult 24 hours with a family emergency , but did not want to miss expressing gratitude as thus is exactly the time I am most vulnerable. I am so grateful for sobriety, family and friends. I am grateful for the support of others and having a place to come to read inspiring messages and stories and to know we are never alone.

Today I’m grateful for my partner who helped me when I had a medical emergency even though I have treated him so badly with the drinking. Feel grateful, but also so guilty and ashamed

Today I’m grateful for having the day off work, for the fact that some of the flower seeds I planted last week are sprouting, for my partner who volunteered to get rid of the cicada that rode inside on me today -yuck, for the beautiful summer weather, for having the money to buy whatever groceries I want, for my lovely son. I’m grateful for my intellectual curiosity, for the ability to enjoy reading and knitting and other hobbies.

@Peace. I’m sorry about your Mom and am glad she wasn’t badly hurt. My Mom is a stroke survivor and paralyzed on her left side. She is in a nursing home and tries to do things on her own. Frequent falls, but other than bumps and bruises, no bad injuries. I worry about her!

Thank you! Sorry to hear about your Mom as well. It is so difficult and soul crushing to see her decline. My Mom is still at home with Dad but not sure how much longer that can safely happen. Just like with alcohol I am trying to it one day at a time.
