I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful that I feel well enough to go for dinner and a meeting this evening. I’m grateful for music that energizes me. I’m grateful that the sun is shining, bring on that vitamin D. I’m grateful for humor, what did one plate say to his friend? tonight dinners on me. wah wahh
I’m grateful that I got to visit with my housemate this morning for a few hours over coffee t.v. and a couple games of cribbage. Have a great day everyone. God bless you all. &
Happy anniversary @Dazercat I hope you marked the occassion today.
I’m grateful we celebrated my sister and brother in law today. I treated us to a fancy tasting menu. It isn’t the type of place we usually eat - so it was special. I’m grateful I didn’t have the wine. This was my biggest test yet, hearing it be explained in detail. I’m my head I tried to think of how pretentious it is really hehe and remind myself that ultimately it is not worth it and it doesn’t add to the experience of food - thanks Annie Grace for this.
I’m grateful that tomorrow I get to go home to my own house, my cat, my routine. I’m grateful that I have so many lovely things to treasure. But for now, I’m going to go pour a pink lemonade and play board games with my family. I’m thankful for that, too.
Grateful for the shares I heard last night.
Two members recently coming back from relapses. Two powerful messages. Two powerful reminders of where I can easily be again. Two powerful reminders of how lucky I am to be alive.
From one share:
" If you have God’s hand in one hand and an alcoholic/addicts in the other its hard to pick up."
From the other share:
" It’s hard to have a belly full of booze and a head full of recovery."
I am grateful for the morning I spent with my parents at the market
I am grateful for the skincare my mom gave me
I am grateful to be enjoying another Saturday substance free.
I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery from so many kinds of drugs, smokes and booze that I lost track. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my health, it ain’t perfect but it’s what I got so I’m working with what I got. I’m grateful that I can smile, for a long time I was either depressed or embarrassed because of my teeth, so grateful for my denturist, one of the things that helped bring back my smile.
I’m grateful for a early morning on the porch with coffee. I’m grateful for the prayers, daily meditation and readings I can do during these quiet mornings alone. It’s hard to get alone time in this world with family, friends and six housemates. I walked to get a Tim Hortons coffee at six a.m. and they were closed, but, it was still a nice leasurly Sunday morning walk for coffee, without a hangover. Came home and made my own coffee, I make coffee now (grateful) I’m grateful that my neck and shoulder pain, by the grace of God, seems to be lessening a little each day. I’m grateful for humor and laughter, joke of the day, drawing a blank, that’s about as good as I draw… ba dum chhh groans
I’m grateful that I am up wayyyy earlier than my usual time and that I slept pretty good. I’m grateful that my home NA group meets tonight. Have a great day everyone. God bless you all. &
p.s. Try to listen to a song you love today. Ya you!!
Good morning all,
Grateful to be up early on my own this morning. Grateful my coffee tastes magical. I’m grateful we will go visit with my parents today. I’m grateful that my husband and kids cleaned up the house while I was working. I’m grateful that I can just appreciate it, and not feel the need to go over everything because it wasn’t done the way I would do it. Who cares lol- I don’t have to do it!
Everyone have a wonderful day

Now there’s no more looking back.

Today I’m grateful for a weekend full of sleep. Got my 2nd jab friday afternoon and took the warning of possible adverse effects as excuse to just hang around and sleep, eat, pet cats, sleep. repeat. so so grateful for two days full of me time and sleep
I’m grateful I’m sitting here with my second cup of coffee, after a lovely little sleep in (til almost 7!), a walk, and puttering-around kind of morning.
I’m grateful I’m sober, that I woke up hangover free, and after a full day of writing assignments yesterday that I was looking forward to seeing you all and catching up here - instead of looking forward to a morning mimosa to take the edge off a hangover. I’m grateful weekend days are full and fun and restful now…
I’m grateful to read all these lists and be so buoyed up by all of the gratitude and good cheer on here! I too draw blanks! ba dum chhh ha! And oh, I was the queen of the re-clean - good job Sunflower! And a sober-versary breakfast in bed. Lovely.
I’m grateful for feeling content. Life’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn good.
I’m grateful for the plans I have ahead for the summer. It’s still different, so different, but just like life - it’s gonna be good. It already is.
I’m grateful for the little garden on my patio. Everyday it changes just a bit, grows, just like us.
I’m grateful to have made it home safe today. I’m grateful for my neighbours who looked after my cat so well and left fresh flowers in my house to return to. I’m grateful that I get to see colleagues that are also wonderful friends when I return tomorrow. I’m grateful for my own bed tonight and for the last 2 and 1/2 weeks I have alone in my home. Night all
I’m grateful for being 14 days sober.
I’m grateful for admitting I have a problem and seeking help.
I’m grateful for being strong.
I’m grateful for my friends who support my decision and don’t judge me for my addiction.

I’m grateful for my husband who put up with a lot of crap over the last year and still didn’t give up on me.
And finally, I’m thankful for this community. Without you I’d be lost. You give me strength and inspire me to continue my journey.
I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful for the nice long phone call with my Mom last night. I’m grateful that I made it to my homegroup meeting last night and it was good. I’m grateful that I am writing out my gratitude as I have thought many days that I would just write a short list of thankfull for God, recovery, health, family and friends and be done, but, then I get to thinking half measures avail us nothing. I think part of my wanting to post a simple list is I imagine I don’t have the time, which is really one of my defects flaring up wanting to take the easy way out or procrastinate and put it off until later. Anyway wrote that out finally. I’m grateful for music and look forward to listening to some soon on my walk to get my weekly covid test. I’m grateful that I got asked to stay for lunch and go for a walk after that. I’m grateful that I am up at a decent time after an uncomfortable sleep. I’m grateful that I don’t think I broke anything in the bike accident the other day but I’m sure sore this a.m. Have a fantastic day everyone. God bless you all. &
Yeah me too. Last few weeks were pretty full and I thought I’d start the day(s) early before checking in here, but then “whoosh!” - they would just get underway, no gratitude list! My days seem a little more “user-friendly” when I start them here, but hey - progress, not perfection…
I’m grateful for the good sleep I had, that I woke up feeling pretty ok to face the day, the week ahead. (I’m grateful bird dude, whom I may have called *sshole bird a morning or two last week, took this morning off.)
I’m grateful it’s a little cooler outside, that we have rain this week to make everything lush and green. It’s a good feeling that matches my “hunker in and things done/caught up” mood/intention for the next few weeks - til a little vacation starts.
I’m grateful for all the good memories I have of summers past with M and D (parents), when I was a kid and an adult too. I’m grateful I can make new memories now.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for good friends. No, great friends!

I’m grateful we can take them out for one more lunch on the way to the airport.
