Grateful for everyone’s courage and honesty in these forums - I couldn’t do this without your transparency and stories that offer me realistic expectations, hope, clarity, and support. One day I’ll get wherever it is I’m trying to get - not sure what it looks like yet but it starts with me being clean

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for my amazing Dad- not just today, but especially today. I’m so so grateful that I have more time with him. I’m grateful that there are wonderful fathers out there in the world. I’m grateful that it was not 117 degrees today! Only 106 lol! I’m grateful that I did a hard workout today. I can feel myself snapping out of the weird mood I have been in. I’m grateful for this thread, and all the people to join in.
Everyone have a wonderful evening, and happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s ( step, adopted, fur babies— you are all amazing!):heart:

Tucking in later tonight.

  • I am grateful to have spent an amazing evening with my family. It was our first meal out together in 18 months.
  • I am grateful that tomorrow is a new week and that I get to start a brand new amazing day tomorrow.
  • I am grateful that I spent sometime being open and honest with my mom, I am so grateful she gets me.
  • I am grateful that my neighbour’s new partner is my age!!! Maybe I can make a new friend she seems sweet. :slightly_smiling_face:
  • I am grateful as I always am to be hitting the pillow sober for another night.

Rest easy.

I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through another productive clean and sober day. I’m grateful for my recovery and all its blessings. I’m grateful that I am getting my second vaccine in the morning. I’m grateful for 12 step programs and the fellowships they provide. I’m grateful for my and all your daily doses of gratitude, if the site crash that happened the other day would have continued for long I would really miss @Sunflower1 @Its_me_Stella @Beforemy30s @anon74766472 @Dan531 Happy Birthday @Dazercat @eph-M-eral omg dear ones @Jennajen @Fargesia_murielae @RosaCanDo and i missed some ahhh. I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful for my family. I’m so grateful I found this place randomly through my sober counter. I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful that Eric aka dazercat and I kept one of the older gratitude threads going at one point and watching it grow over this past year Has been a big part of my daily reprieve. I can honestly say i’ve grown to love some random people i’ve never met through gratitude practice and sobriety. If you had told me that a couple years back haa ha ha I would of called you a liar. I didn’t even own a phone or a computer when I was at my worst. I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful that people took the time to put some effort into this once broken and lost soul. I’m grateful that I get to pay that kind of love forward now.
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Never give up, I believe in you. Ya you!!

I’m grateful for all the support here @ TS and the Grateful Dudes.
I’m grateful I’m not alone when it comes to thinking about this particular thread @I.cant.We.can of gratitude when it was quite lonely around here. But we worked it because we’re worth it and it works if you work it. And it might just help someone else. We don’t know. Credit @Edmund from way back in my early sobriety. He may not know it, but he helped me out a lot being here on TS and for that I’ll always be grateful. Thank you Big Ed.

I’m grateful for the firefighters that risk their lives fighting fires for me. God please protect them and send them rain to help their battle. :pray:t2:
I’m grateful the way I handled the botched phone call from my doctors office yesterday. I waited and waited. I called and waited and no one ever called me. Bastids!! :joy: But I was as cool as a cucumber :cucumber: we’ll talk tomorrow. Or today. Or whenever they get their shit together.
And I’m grateful to be learning that none of this shit is in my control and I’d be a fool to get upset and try and control whatever life is throwing at me. I like the new me. Fuck that, I love this guy :heart:
:pray:t2::heart:

Don’t think about what might go wrong, think about what could go right.
