Today I am grateful I have a job that I enjoy with minimal stress, which helps alleviate barriers to my sobriety; for a very good night of sleep with no hangover to follow; for a promising little weight loss toshow me I am doing something right; fo the love of my dogs and cats who are amazing little friends to my son and I; and for the TS and community for giving us a safe forum to share, support and learn. May you all enjoy a healthy day!

Iām grateful to God Iām not drinking.
Iām grateful to God Iām not depending on booze.
Iām grateful my back pain is manageable and itās not my lower back presently.
Iām grateful I slept just ok, because if I want to take a nap later I can.
Iām grateful we can stay here while there is a fire burning near Flag.
Iām grateful the earthquake I slept through was only a 3.4
Iām grateful my call from the heart doctor was that Iām in sinus rhythm.
Iām grateful for the Snapper we had for dinner last night. And the most gorgeous plate of grilled veggies.
Iām grateful we are seeing my daughter for lunch today. Should be the last time but I donāt know what the fuck we are doing now, so maybe weāll see her again.
Iām grateful I been listening to the audio version of the Big Book. I really enjoyed the chapter āThe Man Who Conquered Fearā it wasnāt my story but I could totally relate.
Iām grateful I just started Part 2 of the Big Book audio. āThey Stopped In Timeā. I feel there will be some stories I will really be able to relate to.
Iām grateful for my wife who always helps this āhurt oneā without a second thought.
Iām very sad and worried about some people on TS who seem to be struggling and frankly loosing the battle. I really hate to learn this way. But Iām grateful it really enforces that today I will not take that first drink. And if I did. I may never come back.
So I would be grateful yāall, if we didnāt take that first drink. Just for today guys. Fuck addiction.
And letās pray for those that are struggling.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
Psalm 34:5

Iām grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery and that I continue to learn from it. Iām grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful for the coffee and breakfast my friend took me for earlier. Iām grateful that its been really nice outside for a while. Iām grateful for the speaker I heard at AA last night, what a story, I laughed, cried, got some hope and fellowship. Iām grateful that I had a wonderful hour long walk home last night listening to āImagineā by John Lennon on a loop, singing out loud getting looks and not giving an F. Have a great day.
God bless you all.

p.s. You are amazing so smile and breathe it feels good. Ya you!!
p.p.s. Iām very grateful that I fully accepted i canāt drink or use ever again. Iām grateful that I decided on Febuary 7 2020 that if I could be so angry at God then why shouldnāt I be able to accept that there is a God because how could i not believe in God but be angry at him.
I believe this is actually very common and as @Dazercat mentioned the other day via @Edmund you never know what might help. anyway rant over. God bless!!

Grateful to have the opportunity to exist and be conscious of it. Here we areā¦ 
Also grateful against all odds to have grown so strong despite everything a disadvantaged life threw at me. Dream big and do not stop searching, exploring, travelling, learning and trying before timeās up people, look where we areā¦ think hard what you really want out of this one-chance life, itās a much bigger picture and opportunity than such seemingly harmless but undeniably sabotaging addictions and deep rooted internal problems. Figure out who you really are, who you really want to be, why you really have these addictions or problems, where they may have originated, how you believe you can work towards your potential ideal self and why? It comes down to you and how brightly you shine in your life, thatās itā¦ Donāt worry about judgement, failure, the past or future, itās the present that matters and you donāt need no distractions to ābareā it - cherish and seek that which is genuine and nice, reconnect with people and nature, let go and move on, for we wonāt know what weāve missed out on until itās too late, and itās not what we did but what we didnāt do which will be regretted before we forever leave this spark-of-potential life of ours againā¦ Let the big picture of life and your faith in your limitless potential guide you wherever and whenever youāre at! Lots of healing, love and support whoever you areā¦ Iām grateful youāre here btw

A little example of how gratitude is actually changing my life.
I am temporarily living with family before my move, making my commute x4-5 times as long each way. This could easily stress me out.
Instead, I would windows down and found a playlist of new music to listen to. I discovered a handful of songs I loved. Had a sing. And enjoyed the sheer joy of driving my car - something I wonāt be doing once I move.
It is a small thing. But it is a huge thing.
This daily practice is shifting everything!
Happy evening all. Iām grateful for this thread.

Iām grateful to God I donāt drink.
Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful I am not going to get liquored up because my back is killing me and all this other shit the past couple of weeks is starting to make me feel really depressed.
Iām grateful we can go home to Flag we are no longer in āsetā stage. We been downgraded to āreadyā stage. We live in the forest so we are always in āreadyā stage. But my fucking back is killing me so I donāt know what the fuck we are doing. And Iām fucking sick of this shit.
Iām grateful I can let it out here. And Iām grateful I wonāt drink because that wouldnāt help a fucking thing.
Sorry for the rant. Fuck back pain.
Iām grateful @dalex77 didnāt use last night. Fuck fentanyl Dan. Join us here and share what your grateful for. Like being alive. And all the people here that love you. We need you man. Get yourself to a meeting or something. Please
Iām grateful Iām not in pain as I just sit here on ice.
Iām grateful I woke the wife up to put the pet food bowls down on the floor. I just couldnāt. And Iām grateful I asked for help.
Iām grateful for this thread. I didnāt think I had anything to be grateful for this morning because of my back pain and wifey really wants to go home and my back pain could be preventing that now. 
And I feel bad about that.
I know she totally understands and Iām so grateful for that but I still feel bad that we can finally go home and now Iām preventing that.
Sorry for the long rant of gratitude.
Iām grateful I know this too will all pass.
Sobriety is not an anchor.
Itās a pair of wings.

Iām grateful I was able to put my sneakers on and help my wife walk the dogs. So I got a tiny bit of exercise. Iām grateful she didnāt have to do it alone. Itās a two person job with the old girl, Minnie, not my wife, 
. With all the traffic and other dogs and UPS and bringing water for the old girl. Still Minnie. And picking up 
And Iām grateful my wife has the bed made so the dogs and I can lay down. Me with my ice pack.
