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 have cocktails with the wife last night at dinner. With the clusterfuck of medical issues I got going on right now I would have got hammered last night. I mean why not? Fuck it!
I’m grateful I got a clear head this morning and no hangover and I’ll have extra morning time with Benson on my lap. Minnie snoring in her bed and the 2 gray cats somewhere near by. And the other 2 cats locked in the bedroom with their breakfast while wifey sleeps it off.
I’m grateful I’m living today and really appreciating everything. I’ve slowed down and it’s kind of cool. Like I’m grateful when Daisy is on the counter bashing into me while I make the coffee. I stop and give her a good pet or 2 or 10.
I’m grateful I’m on blood thinners to prevent getting a stroke. I don’t think I’ll have a stroke but…
I’m grateful I’ve quieted my mind and quit thinking what if? Or maybe this? Or if only this? Or should I that? It’s out of my control.
I’m grateful my cardiologist appointment is June 9th.
I’m grateful for y’all. Especially this thread.

All we can do is the next right thing

Grateful my tomatoes fight the storm outside. They are strong.
Glad the weather will improve a bit soon.

I’m grateful for cats. And pets I’m general. They make life so much better. For 40days sober. For my sister. For friendships that have lasted and grown from our late teens into our late 20s/30s, through everything that life throws. Night all x

I’m grateful to God thank you helping me make it home safe after a long day. I’m grateful that I have quiet time alone to get down some of my daily gratitude. I’m grateful that I can admit today sucked as did last night but it’s ok I still stayed clean and sober and lived up to all my commitments. I’m grateful that I got home checked the mail and see that I have proper Identification with the right address now. It’s the first time in over a decade that I have valid I.d., dang was my life ever unmanageable and still gets overwhelming as I try to fix it. I’m grateful for supports (family /gratidudes /friends /consellors) and a higher power to help. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

I’m grateful today is a new day, different than yesterday.

I’m grateful bad days don’t last forever, and that I don’t have to try to avoid or escape them by pouring a full glass. I did give myself a “permission slip” to just have a bad day yesterday, and then I turned an after-dinner nap into bedtime (didn’t even check in!). I’m grateful I can still notice good things in a bad day.

I’m grateful that even though this week is gonna be a doozy (on all kinds of fronts), it’s already wednesday and I have something good planned each day after I’ve gotten through the yuck. (Tonight - fave zoom yoga class! And some reading. And earlier to bed all week.)

I’m grateful for the dog girl, for her super calm presence - unless she’s decided it’s walk time a little earlier than usual - and then I’m grateful for her goofy energy.

I’m grateful for the little shoots that pop through the soil like magic - some of them the day after I planted them! Miracles abound.

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

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful to God for the strength to keep going even when I’m tired, stressed and anxious. I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober and be my best self just for today. I’m grateful that I have some decent recovery days behind me to use as a guide through tough times, did it before can do it again. My addict thinking tries to get that defeated thinking going and to give up. Giving up got me nowhere. I’m grateful for my family and really want a hug from any of them, reality sucks sometime when I think about but… that’s ok… my irrational thinking involves expecting every day or situation to be good and there i go trying to control everything. let it go and let God. All of it is easier said than done and I’m sounding like a cliche machine Lol
God bless you all. Sending prayers and hugs. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are amazing just the way you are. Ya you!!
