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 and all the challenges and blessings that I continue to encounter.

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. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!

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 :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m grateful for spicey food, only vegetable soup for one week is a bit boring at the end :blush:
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!!!

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.

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 :joy:
I’m grateful I feel great enough to drive home today. Please God bless us on our trip to arrive home safely. :pray:t2:
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 :scream:
Grateful for every ounce of gratitude and gratidudes :purple_heart::blue_heart::green_heart::black_heart::orange_heart:
:pray:t2::heart:

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.

Tonight I’m grateful for the good day I had, a quiet day, a home day.

I’m grateful the last thing I thought last night, after cratering into bed, was “I should really set an alarm”, and then I woke up 8 hours later, after a delish sleep. No alarm.

I’m grateful I got caught up on my writing assignment, and will finish a few other little course things now. I’m grateful for this course, the amazing instructor, and that though it challenges me - I love it. She shows us how to work through the challenges bit by bit. Lots of parallels with sobriety.

I’m grateful the dog girl’s vet appointment went well yesterday. I’m grateful there are alternatives to the dreaded cone. She has an inflatable collar on to stop her from licking and… I think she likes it. She looks like she’s headed to the airport for a long haul flight - maybe she’s gonna go meet TS contingent in Europe!

I’m grateful Eric and wifey and the fur fam are on their way home, and that he had gelato. I dunno who has anything chocolate without zucchini in it, but to each his own!

And @sunflower! What kinda books you looking to read? I’m grateful for stories and books and just how much I enjoy reading them. I neglected this part of myself when I hung out with a wine glass instead of a book all evening.

I’m grateful for a week ahead, another short week.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

@M-be-free49 ,Im open to just about anything. Except for this book, I think I’d like to have something besides recovery reading. I love to read, and I’m always amazed ( and grateful) at how I can be completely transported to a different time, or place, or become someone different for a little while. Wish I had some writing talent but oh well.
Any suggestions?
