Good morning all,
I’m grateful to be up early but naturally today. Grateful for my little electric fireplace to make it feel cozy in here, and grateful I can turn the heat off it so I don’t cook myself! Grateful I got an appointment to get my hair done today. Grateful I am just starting a week off of work, and that will give me time to clean and organize, and get my home into a comfortable order. I’m grateful that as I write this list I’m realizing that drinking during this time off never crossed my mind. I feel that as time goes on, although I do something recovery related everyday, actual thoughts of alcohol and drinking are not popping up. Not sure if that makes sense.
I’m grateful that TS seems calmer at the moment, and I’m grateful that I have this corner of TS to count on to be positive and helpful.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Today I am grateful for sleeping in on a Saturday and, further, doing so while my son was up and at work. How’s that for a script flip! I am grateful my friend is letting me help her take care of some necessities following her sister’s death. She is going through cancer and this happened unexpectedly and I am grateful to God that she is allowing others in to extend a hand. We all need help sometimes. Her sister was an alcoholic. Cause of death unknown, but, we know. I am grateful now she is at peace and no longer has to fight this awful disease. However, I will continue to fight and honor those for whom the battle was just too destructive. I am grateful for a simpler life without the running around and “busy-ing” to be something I am not. I am grateful for this coffee, the birds and a peaceful screened porch to ease into the day. As always, I am grateful for TS and all of you. Wishing peace and contentment for you.

I’m grateful for God. I don’t drink.
I’m grateful for God. I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I feel so much better today. Back hurts this morning but it’s the usual morning stiffness pain I think.
I’m grateful I came on here yesterday and whined about my back pain. And meditated and breathed into the back pain. And we made our decision to go home tomorrow. And I think all that stress relief has helped my back pain. I was feeling pretty good by end of day yesterday.
I’m grateful the fire has died down a bit and is not heading to Flag. But it is very concerning that it is still 0 % contained.
I’m grateful there are monsoons in the forecast for Flagstaff and I pray for rain. We need it so badly.
I’m grateful for all the brave firefighters out there risking their lives. God bless them.
I’m grateful for the birds chipping out my screen door. I’ll miss them.
I’m grateful for the sound of Minnie’s rhythmic breathing on the couch here next to me. It’s very soothing.
I’m grateful for Benson and Maverick who are always by my side when I’m lying down in bed resting.
I’m grateful my chiropractor can get me in one more time this morning before we leave.
I’m grateful for the gratidudes and I feel very comfortable sharing on this thread with you all especially when my gratitude turns into my daily life story.
Grateful for sober hangover free Saturday mornings and every sober hangover free morning.
Whenever I get panicky or sad or anxious or stressed I remind myself that I’m sober and I feel a fuck of a lot better.

congratulations on one year @Jennajen awesome work
edit… life on lifes terms in action, sometimes you gotta stop in the middle of crafting your gratitude and come back.
I’m grateful for persistence that others have with me. I’m grateful that I am learning to live the principles that are taught in the twelve step rooms. I’m grateful for my former sponsors and my current one. I’m grateful to be learning from my sponsees. I’m grateful that I get to cook pizza for dinner today for about 15 people. I’m grateful that I have an NA meeting tonight. I’m so grateful for my family and the nice call with my sister who is excited to be done teaching for another school year particularly this crazy one. I’m grateful for all the gratidudes and TS. I’m grateful for my health and that it continues to improve slowly.
God bless you all.

Today I am grateful for a clear head. I am doing some online courses to upgrade my skillset. This wouldn’t have been possible if I was still drinking.

Today I’m grateful for a good drive home from vaccation. I’m grateful my cats are well and obviously didn’t forget me 
I’m grateful for spicey food, only vegetable soup for one week is a bit boring at the end 
I’m grateful it seems to be a bit cooler tonight so the house can air out, it definitely needs open windows and a lot of fresh air.
I’m grateful I go to bed and have my sleeping meds, otherwise there wouldn’t be an hour of sleep for me in this heat. And I need sleep, a lot of, still. Grateful that tomorrow is another day, and hopefully my husband will have brains and leave the house before I get up. I’m so sick of him, it’s exhausting.

Grateful for the surprise visit from my sister. For time with family for the first time in months. For plants and flowers. For slightly unrealistic but compelling TV series. For pilates. For solo walks in the woods. For hopes for the next few months. For family to help me make decisions. For seeing my anxious cat become more comfortable in my mum’s house and with my mum; I will be leaving her here for a couple of months while I get settled abroad before coming back for her in autumn, so I’m so relieved to know she will be happy here.

Today I am grateful for kind and like-minded friends with whom playing a simple card game soberly is a refreshing reset and invitation to laugh and be myself; for friends who don’t drink; for the bees who I can watch hard at work; for morning coffee to drink while everything is quiet except the birds; for a day where minimal plans exit and I can the day as it comes. Thank you all for being here!!!

Good morning all,
I’m grateful to be up early, and for the quiet time it gives me. I’m grateful for coffee and sun rise. I’m grateful that my kids get as excited as I do about going to the book store. Anyone have any suggestions for books?
I’m grateful I don’t have much on the agenda today, and that’s ok.
Grateful for you guys! Everyone have a wonderful day

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 my family and that they never really gave up on me, even when I thought they did or I gave up on them. I’m grateful for my health and that I can stretch to put on my socks and continue to stretch so I can take a bike ride. I’m grateful for the treatment center and supportive living. I’m grateful that while my housemate was actively using and drinking last night they gave me the option to stay there. I’m grateful I chose to come home and support my other housemates. I’m grateful that he’ll have a headache this morning, can’t always be nice to him, I’ll never fully be pure love , that would be unrealistic and/or egotistic, however I do wish him well as moves on and out if myself and my housemates have anything to say about it. I’m grateful for my friend Trevor and his girlfriend who have been spending time with me and sharing in their recoveries, giving me rides and even took me for ice cream last night. I’m grateful I didn’t have to come straight home unprepared into the chaos even though that’s what the “sick” part of me wanted. I’m grateful I am learning to take direction and advice and that I’m becoming capable of doing the same. I’m grateful to be learning to be a productive member of society. I’m grateful for music and the way it moves me woooo
I’m grateful for fun and sober card games as some one else mentioned. I’m grateful to read that @Sunflower1 kids like books and wish I could recommend something. I’m grateful to see @Dazercat is about to post good morning brother. I’m grateful @Its_me_Stella lives in a beauty part part of our wonderful country enjoy that seafood. I’m grateful for all you grati-dudes.
Godbless you all. &
p.s. If you read all that you’re a champ. Ya you!!

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I’m up, too early, hangover free, and sober, as we will be leaving to travel home today. I’m so grateful I wasn’t guzzling side cars and wine all night like it would be the last time I ever get to drink again. And for that I’m grateful I feel wonderful this morning. Ya fucking wonderful!! And I haven’t even finished my coffee yet. I’m so grateful for that first sip of coffee that warms my soul and doesn’t have to fight a hangover head and stomachache.
I’m grateful for the stracciatella gelato (I bet it goes great with cake, hint hint, nudge nudge M )that I did indulge in last night. I made it a double 
I’m grateful I feel great enough to drive home today. Please God bless us on our trip to arrive home safely.
I’m grateful for my quiet time in the morning. It’s especially quiet this morning.
I’m grateful for all the celebration milestones that seem to be happening around here. I’m grateful we know we are worth it. And I’m grateful for the new comers, every day sober is a milestone.
I’m grateful I cherish every day I’m sober.
Grateful for my wife. I don’t know what I’d do without her. I’m also grateful I will be getting her out of the land of cocktails 
Grateful for every ounce of gratitude and gratidudes 
Alcohol will always always always make your problems worse, so when you want to drink because you’re struggling, always always always play the tape forward.
