Good morning family.
Today I am grateful that I am nearing the end of my step 8.
I am grateful I asked for guidance from other members in recovery and got it like I always do.
I am so grateful for reconnection I am finding connections that were blanketed in substances now just amplified with recovery.
I am grateful for the power of letting go and all of the freedom that ironically comes with it. You let shit go and you get so much.
I am grateful for technology and video calls.
I am grateful that I have had such an awesome week.
I am grateful that Brian @I.cant.We.can made it home after his fall and I am hopeful he got some sleep last night.

I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you. I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful that I managed to sleep quite a bit, and well at that. I’m grateful that I am moving around well except for my arms that are obviously(gratefully) attached to my sore ass shoulders. I’m grateful for all the support from you Gratidudes, thank you so much my friends its truly appreciated. I’m grateful that my housemate and friend Dylan that I had the accident with is home for the day and we’re splitting on some food. I’m grateful that he has admitted he’s sore, take that you young whipper snapper Lol. I’m grateful that neither of our injuries are too serious. I’m grateful for humor. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful that this continuing gratitude practice coupled with reading all yours truly allows my perspective to remain positive most of the time.
God bless you all.

p.s. You are capable of achieving yours dreams so why not dream big. Ya you!!

I’m grateful that this week is wrapping up and that I think I did it pretty well - by my (new) standards. Grateful I know more when to roll up my sleeves and get stuff done and when to call it done - or at least a day.
I’m grateful I don’t drink, or I know I wouldn’t feel the same way. I’d be feeling like I’d earned a drink and then I’d be feeling bad if I drank too much (if?!)
I’m grateful I got another amazing cantaloupe and a golden honeydew too. Soooo delicious! I’m grateful recovery is like rediscovery - of things I forgot were so good!
I’m grateful it’s the weekend soon. I’m grateful all the little seeds I planted are sprouts and shoots and outgrowing themselves and in need of bigger new homes! Looks like I’ll be helping the seedlings on moving day. 
I’m grateful for this. 
I feel it too!
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m really grateful for everyone here posting about gratitude. I read this thread every day but don’t often post.
Today I’m grateful for my awesome partner who put together a cedar raised bed so I can have a little vegetable/herb garden on our apartment patio. I’m also grateful I had the resources to turn our little patio into an oasis. I’ll be able to work outside on my laptop all summer instead of being cooped up inside.
I’m also incredibly grateful that my sister is coming to visit from out of state tomorrow. I haven’t seen any family members in person since 2019 and I really miss them, but especially her.

Today I am grateful for the week coming to an end where I can enjoy some time off to enjoy more time outside. I am grateful for my independence. I am a single parent (have been for many years) and when my son is with his Dad, I have no problem exploring nearby towns and/or going to shows/games solo. Sometimes friends can join and sometimes they can’t, but that doesn’t stop me from living and doing what I want to do. I am truly grateful that I can and will do that as we are only in this life once! I am grateful for my dogs and cats that bring such joy and love to our household. Most of all, I am grateful for my son, his strength and character. He motivates me to always be better. Oh yes, and I am grateful for entertaining and/or intellectually stimulating podcasts. I am learning so much and it’s free and on my own time - love it!! Have a great day all!

today i’m grateful for all of YOU and this genuine, positive community, i’m grateful to not wake up hungover, i’m grateful for tea instead of coffee (today it’s turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, milk and honey! strange but delicious! lol) i’m grateful for no smoke in my lungs in 3 days, i’m grateful to see how my life is ALREADY changing for the better after having committed to myself in this way, i finally started building my website and am doing things i’ve been putting off for a long time. using alcohol is SUCH A GREAT WAY to put off living life. i’m so grateful that i finally see the value of my life enough to say goodbye to the substances that block me from truly embodying it. loving life, loving self, loving sobriety and loving all of you!

A mid-day check in because I’m on holiday so why not?!
Grateful for a couple of hours of alone time after a week with others. I realise that I need time alone to recharge. Grateful for our old family dog who has been so well behaved and lovely this trip. Grateful for the bakery we have discovered here and the amazing treats it has and for my brain for allowing me to avoid these almost fully guilt free (though relationship with food can be a tricky one). Grateful for books. Grateful that I’m nearing the 2 months of sobriety mark. Grateful for this precious time with family before I move away.

Good morning family.
Grateful for another beautiful brain fog free morning.
Grateful I had such a fun week with little repercussions.
Grateful it’s Friday and I plan to join the CA group as a homegroup after finding out last week I can have a home group in every fellowship!!! How cool is that???
Grateful the be working on an art piece for a special friend, gathering all the parts for it has brought me so much joy.
Grateful to be in contact with people from all over the globe.
Grateful my sponsor expressed that she loves me yesterday. I read my list of amends to her and she ended up in tears. I am grateful that she felt less alone after hearing how fucked up of an individual I am. Love that woman she is the best.
Grateful that she and both my parents are scheduled for their second doses of vaccines next week. Our lives are going to be “normalizing” and I can not fucking wait.

Ahhh awesome! It was me!!! I got some of the enamel mugs and they are so cool. I think one of them says “I’m a goddamned delight,” haha! Glad your daughter liked it.

It’s life. My youngest brother is 36 this month. I’m turning 40 next year and my mom doesn’t want to hear it! So I keep reminding her. She just turned 64, sweet lady.

. They usually wait until the last minute 
in the trees on 11th st. I was so surprised. I thought those can’t really be parrots. I googled it and they were. Apparently brought over here as pets awhile ago. Then released and then nature did its thing. M, 
. I wish I could come over there and do your kitchen shift for you and whatever else you might need to get through this. So glad you didn’t hit your head. I hope you can move around some today so you don’t turn into a big painful stiffy. Walk it off and ice and bandages today. Take it easy my friend.
