Today I’m grateful:

  • for the relationship I have with my parents. We are a close-knit family, and I have always felt supported by them, no matter what. My issue was typically waiting too long to ask for help, but whenever I finally did, they did everything possible to be there for me. I am grateful that I can talk with my mom more directly about my mental health and substance use now, which only makes us more connected. She’s no dummy - she has been aware of my issues with drinking way earlier than I ever was! Or at least before I was willing to admit it to myself. And my dad and I are so much alike that I can recognize patterns that are surely partly hereditary and can learn from what he has shared with me and how he has lived his life to be the best he can be.
  • for the lovely weekend I had with my guy and my little gal.
  • for the taste of spring we had and the knowledge that this return to wintry weather won’t be here for long.

Always grateful for my TS amigos. :heartpulse:

I just went to the grocery store and I didn’t have to be afraid I would run into someone I know and they would look in my cart.
That’s nice

I’m grateful to finally have a chance to do my morning gratitude list!
(I’m not gonna say any more about daylight savings time… :angry:)

I’m grateful to be sober. The day has served up a whole lotta things that would have had old me looking to numb the nerve endings tonight. New me knows instead I need only tend to them. Grateful for that. Works a lot better…

I’m grateful I’m slowly learning to measure my day, my work, my progress - all kinds of things - by my standards. Slowly. “oh, you can have your rule book - that’s fine for you. But I have mine here in my back pocket and it tells me how i need to live and who i need to be. so carry on your way and I’ll carry on mine!” It’s kind of fun, actually.

I’m grateful to be more and more comfortable with a wider range of feelings.

M and D? Every day.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful I’ve found a sponsor and been persisting with my studies slowly but surely. Grateful I’m sober and feeling more emotionally and mentally together today, grateful the last few weeks have been tough because they’re showing me how worth it what I’m doing feels.

Today, I am most grateful for the fact that I am finally learning to mind my own business. I am responsible for myself and to others.

While I sort of feel like I should have learned that lesson long ago, I come from a family where codependency is normal. Extended family too. Boundaries seem weird to them.

I can’t even express how grateful I am to be learning who I really am. I’m trying to live life on my terms now as much as possible. It is not easy but, damn, it feels right in a way my old habits never did.

I am grateful to be sober and no longer enslaved by alcohol.

I am grateful for all of you and this community. I never thought I would find a group of sober people. Alcohol just seemed to be what my life and the people who were in it were all about.

I am grateful for having the chance to start over after decades of having certain bad habits. :two_hearts:

I’m grateful that my mood and temperament are stabilizing.

Everyone have a great night❤️

Yes to this! :point_up_2: And I’m grateful I actually take time to relax now. I used to think I needed wine to help me relax, but wine-relaxation isn’t really relaxing. (It’s more like a waste of time…! :smirk:) Honest relaxing in the evening is just the best. Grateful.

I’m grateful I don’t get unhinged by mornings that don’t go as planned! I’m grateful to be able to do my gratitudes in my head no matter what goes on. I’m grateful for the nice long walk I just had with the dog girl, for the setting sun shining in my little place, and the dinner I’ll tuck my fork into soon…

I’m super grateful for you Gratidudes, for all of the support I have to be and stay sober, and how much camaraderie there is on this thread and in the forum. It’s what we make of it, and I’m proud to be part of this place.

M and D? for being so human, not perfect, and for letting me be human too. :pray:

I’m grateful for another day (what’s left of it!) :orange_heart:
