So grateful for a sober, sunny day. I have had a lot of reminders recently that no matter what stressful, difficult events in life are inevitable and arming myself with a toolbox of options that do not include alcohol is a smart way to stay strong and manage. Thanks to all of you who share amazing ideas and reminders of the tools we need to proceed. Enjoy your days!!

Grateful for the sun shining, supportive family, a job to earn money, a nice house to live in, a nice car, my health and my family’s health. Grateful we can send my daughter to treatment for mental health and that she’s getting better. Grateful for clarity of mind that comes from sobriety, waking up feeling well and not hungover and dreading the day.

I’m grateful to God I’m hangover free and sober this morning.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink or depend on booze.
I’m grateful my teeth naturally seem whiter, especially after this last cleaning, because I haven’t soaked them in Cabernet for 511 days.
I’m grateful my bloodwork came back good. Everything in an acceptable range.
I’m grateful I got through the day yesterday without having to take a nap.
I’m grateful I went to the beach alone. This is HUGE for me. My wife and I never do anything along. But since she’s going to be drinking wine in the afternoon and probably taking a nap. I just got in the car and drove to the beach and just sat there soberly contemplating all of life’s mysteries 
. Actually I just sat in the sand with an oldies playlist on and did nothing. Boy was that fun.
I’m grateful for Amazon. I ordered a small beach folding chair. One of the short ones and it will be here Friday. I’m too big of a stiffy to sit on the ground or the floor.
I’m grateful I’m a pretty good cook. Thanks Dad.
I’m grateful I’m very sensitive. Thanks Mom.
I’m grateful my daughter and Son-in-law got their moles removed yesterday and they seem well.
I’m grateful I know the importance of seeing my dermatologist and getting mole checks twice a year. It can literally save your life. Hint hint. Nudge nudge.
I’m grateful I got my workout in yesterday and today is a power walking day and I can listen to the big book on audio for the first half of my power walk. I’m on the personal stories part and I just find it fascinating.
I’m grateful for all the troops here of gratitude and TS.

God bless you all. &

Grateful for being more mindful. Which is hurting some times. Being more aware of how our society produced by media is meant to work. It is making me think and I don’t want to follow and fit into this. Never wanted but only being sober enables me to feel somehow okay about it.
Grateful that the sun finally came out.
Grateful the wind calmed down.
Grateful for a good talk with a good friend.
Grateful that atm I seem okay. Calm. Being fine and not too hard on myself. Grateful reading honest shares here, are helping me to focus and find another piece in the puzzle.
Edit : forgot, jippiii, garlic time.

Good morning family.
Today I am grateful for the wisdom I find in other addicts on this forum.
I am grateful that I am humble enough to listen and learn.
I am grateful that I am willing and vulnerable to ask for guidance when I feel scared, confused or lost.
I am grateful for my shepherds and the way they awkwardly stand between the vacuum and I because they want me to vacuum them.
I am grateful for the sun showers currently happening and the rainbow that is out there somewhere but I just can’t see it. 
I am grateful for being gifted “the pause” and the amazing value behind it.
I am grateful for my higher power and the energy she fills me with every breath I take.
I am grateful that it is Thursday and that means tomorrow is Fri-yay!!!

I’m grateful for laughter at work- I’m glad we can laugh at ourselves( usually) to overcome days where we are grouchy with each other. I’m grateful I only have one more day of work, then a long weekend. I’m grateful I don’t have any anxiety about the long weekend and if I will drink too much, because I don’t drink. I’m grateful for the prospect of early morning walks/ bike rides and small projects around the house.
I’m grateful for this thread and all of you guys. It’s usually the first place I visit and the last. It can be hard but I’m grateful we are here, choosing to find gratitude.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Today I am grateful for a Friday morning with no hangover and to wake up and read all of the amazing gratitudes of the gratidudes. We do all have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful that my mom will have the surgery she needs for her wrist and for the caregivers that will be able to help her when we get her back home. I am grateful for the paycheck I receive today that won’t be muddied by alcohol purchases. I am grateful for talks with my 3 closest friends this week that are authentic, loving, and truly supportive of one another. Always grateful for TS and the incredible minds that use it!

I’ve missed you gratidudes! Today I’m grateful for my family, especially my little brother who was my first best friend. Excited to get to know his baby girl and grateful I love and am good with children of all ages. I’m grateful for my husband and Miss Lupe who are holding down the fort at home, and that he has a companion in her so as not to be alone. I’m grateful it’s only a 45 min drive between my parents’ house and my brother’s place on easy roads. I’m grateful for the day of rest we all had yesterday after our drive and that even though I’m not sleeping well, I feel a-okay. I’m so grateful for recovery and all the lessons I am learning for how to live my best life.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for another morning.
I’m grateful 5 of my 6 pets separately and gently tried to get me up because in was sleeping in til 7:15. 
I’m grateful I think I figured out that on my power walking days (cardio) I get real tired and listen to my body and take a nap. Cardio. AFib. Duh. No wonder I’m tired those afternoons. Maybe 
?
I’m grateful I get to walk to the Y and work out today.
I’m grateful for the smell of fresh cut grass as I was walking yesterday, and the wonderful memories I got of cutting the baseball field down by the lake at summer camp in Maine when I was a kid. And my memories took me to how I use to love sailing as a kid at camp. It felt like I was right there on the waterfront.
I’m grateful I’m pretty sure I’m having pastrami for lunch at Fromins this afternoon.
Grateful for TS and the G-Dudes.

A little extra gratitude and some bragging rights here.
I’m grateful 4 years ago today or at least this week I flew to Boston to bring mom out here for her last vacation. I think she was 84 and the Alzheimer’s was really kicking our asses. And then I flew with her back to Boston and came back.
Me and Mom Venice Beach Pier. It was a monumental task but well worth it. People thought I was crazy. It was the best hassle I ever had.
Most of the time she thought she was in Canada . Ya just got to laugh when it’s funny.
When I dropped her back off in Boston. People kept asking her how her California trip was. She said. Right in front of me. “I didn’t go to California!” 
I got even with her and kept telling her she met Marilyn Monroe. and I’d show her this pic 
Love them while you got em folks. Nothing is too hard.
I’m grateful I had the best mom ever.

I’m grateful this work week came to an end. Sooooooper grateful. It was a doozy, I won’t lie. But I’m grateful I maintained my sobriety, my sanity, and most of my self-care. I’m grateful to have read your lists that pulled me back to all I have to be grateful for, everyday…
I’m grateful I caught myself yesterday morning, when I started my gratitude list, and just stopped. I wasn’t feeling grateful. I was still sore about some things (see “doozy”) and was turning my gratitude list into an exercise of fueling resentments. Example: “I’m grateful I don’t have to meet with those dumdums today” and “I’m grateful I don’t like meanies”. Sound like an 8 year old? Yep. But I guess I’m grateful that now when I get all agitated I don’t tell myself I’ve earned a drink. I’m grateful I’m learning to be less reactive - even catching my thoughts…
I’m grateful I still have a chance, every day, to find things to be grateful about, even in the middle of a doozy week or day.
I’m grateful to still find things to laugh about each day, with colleagues and pals - and laughter that isn’t at anyone else’s expense, (even the aforementioned meanies).
I’m grateful for the seedlings! For the thundershowers. For the weekend and predicted sunny skies. For my writing assignments to work on. That I’m learning to relax and unwind and take good breaks too - not just escape.
I’m super duper grateful for you Gratidudes, to share this practice, our days, and our sobriety.
I’m grateful for another day.
