I’m grateful it didn’t snow too much, and it’s all melted now…

I’m grateful I can put this day to bed and me too!

I’m grateful I don’t look for exceptions anymore - to the “rule” of no drinking. Like - no drinking unless it snows in May on a Wednesday. I’m grateful that I like being a non-drinker. That’s right. It’s my jam! So bring on May snow, world.

And bring on bedtime, and my gratitude for all you lovely gratidudes. Your lives and gratitude inspire me so. :orange_heart:

While I am with you that I am glad I don’t think I won’t drink unless… Snow in May is soooo not okay :snowflake::snowman::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Edit, of course unless I’m living south the equator.

I am grateful for a few hours of nothing but rest today before work and a lunch date with a good friend who I haven’t seen in months and months. I am grateful for caregivers for my Mom. I am grateful for my maturing son who can take care of a lot when I have to tend to my mother post fall. I am grateful for my Mom’s sobriety as well as my own. Ever so thankful for TS and you all!!!

I’m grateful To God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I’m up real early before my alarm hangover free and sober. If y’all read my checkin yesterday, sorry to repeat myself. But they had a cancellation this morning so I’m headed out for my root canal in a few minutes. I’m grateful I didn’t get all liquored up last night as I use to.
I’m grateful I got my biopsy back yesterday too. It’s an abnormal mole. 2 of them. Pre skin cancer. Mild stage. I will be going back to my dermatologist June 1st for a treatment plan. Put the the 2 together and I would have been wicked hungover this morning.
I’m grateful I can take the good and the not so good and still be sober.
I’m grateful we caught the moles early and they are precancerous. And getting a root canal is better than a tooth extraction.
I’m grateful I got my GP doctors appointment tomorrow. What else could go right? (:point_left: see what I did there :slightly_smiling_face:)
I’m grateful I’m reading Courage To Change again for a daily devotional. I think I’m relating to it better now that I’m sober. Yesterday’s reading started off : In the past, when anyone disagreed with me I took it as a personal failure. It really hit home. I can be pretty insecure underneath all my tough guy :wink: cuss words.
I’m grateful to be able to share my shit with you all.
:pray:t2::heart:
Be proud of yourself for getting through today sober.

I’m grateful for the deep and solid sleep (and tiny sleep in!) I had - I needed it.

I’m grateful that the next few days of work aren’t as busy and full as the first part of this week was - will give me a chance to “taper off” the week as I head into a long weekend!

I’m grateful I’m learning to let go at work and get the h*ll out of the way, and just let others and my team do things their way. Guess what? It all still works out, mostly! There’s no way I can back off work if I don’t back off…

I’m grateful that I can head in to a long weekend with no worries about how I’m gonna get through if I don’t drink, or hoping I don’t drink, or worse - planning to drink and trying to control it. I’m grateful I put my faith in this recovery process and it paid off, is paying off. Sober life is the best life.

I’m grateful it looks like spring decided to give us another chance here.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

You can do it! I believe in you. And the dentist and others who work on your root canal will be grateful you don’t smell like a brewery or distillery. :joy:

Sending you some bravery vibes today! Maybe they’ll let you pick out a treat or toy afterwards? If not - revert to Mom’s rule: a trip to the dentist always meant a milkshake after. Something I could slurp up with my frozen mouth! :wink: :orange_heart:

Good evening all,
Grateful I’m home with my family after work. Grateful I learned “make it your self” dinner night from my mom- a night where if you want it, you make it. And clean it lol! I’m grateful for pancakes with butter and syrup for my dinner. It brings me back to childhood when Dad was on dinner duty. He made the best breakfast for dinner. Must be feeling nostalgic today.
Grateful for good memories from childhood. Grateful to be making memories with my own kids.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

I am grateful I did not drink last night when I thought about it when things got beyond stressful. I am grateful so.eone posted the AA toolkit app where sponsors are available. I am grateful for caring friends who are supportive when things get tough. I am grateful my power bill is only $83. I am most grateful the weekend is here and I can get some solid rest and do some fun things.
