Today I’m grateful that @Dazercat teaches me to be vulnerable and ask for help related to health stuff. I’m grateful for excellent healthcare available (even though our system could absolutely be more equitable and transparent). I’m grateful that while I’m feeling some pain from surgery, it’s manageable without taking the opioid Tramadol I was prescribed. I already disposed of it and can take OTC pain meds if needed. I’m grateful I can rest today and watch tv and read. I’m grateful my husband said he was proud of me for getting through yesterday alone, and grateful I could say I wasn’t alone at all. I’m grateful for the nurses and staff at the hospital and that I was texting with my supports almost constantly while listening to meditations and music. I’m grateful to be a part of this TS community! And I’m grateful to be sober. Yesterday would have been a terribly rough day if I was hungover. Grateful for you all! :heartpulse:

I’m grateful for for the laughs and chuckles my wife and I have when we share the stupid things we do. Now that would be a fun thread. I’m grateful I can’t wait to tell her how I poured cold water over my tea bags this morning. I forgot to heat the water. :joy: I always fill the coffee pot and tea kettle the night before. I just forgot to hit the button. That assisted living bus is getting closer. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Now you know I’m grateful to God I didn’t drink yesterday and I’m not drinking today and I’m probably not drinking tomorrow :pray:t2:

I’m grateful I’m up too early with Daisy on my lap and HOT coffee in my cup. And the only noise is the purring of my cat. :joy: and just as I wrote that I hear a leaf blower on the 12th :joy:. The joys of living in a gold course community. :rofl:

I’m grateful for the monsoonal rains we had yesterday. And it’s forecasted all week. And I know why. I’m getting my windows cleaned today. :joy:
I’m grateful that the lightning that hit the trees at the club yesterday didn’t start a fire.

I’m grateful both my beautiful children want to take care of their dad when he has to go back to Cali for his next heart procedure. My son said he wants to fly in from Dallas because he “owes me.” How freaking beautiful is that.
I’m grateful I’m the luckiest guy in the world to have such great grown up children. And even my niece/daughter said she’d rearrange her schedule to help Uncle.
I’m grateful for gratitude. And I been meaning to give a shout-out to @DuncanNZ who has been sharing his gratitude here a lot lately. I’m so grateful he started this thread so long ago and we’ve kept it going and he gets to join in because he’s so worth it. Thanks Duncan. We see you out there and appreciate you :heart:
Like M says. Let’s grab us another sober day folks. Or end it that way depending where you are presently.
:pray:t2::heart:

This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.

A bit off atm. But trying to stick to gratitude.
Grateful I am sober.
Grateful for my new boots, summer German style :joy:
Grateful we were lucky for the moment. Big natural desaster in Western Germany, floods.
Grateful for my apartment that I like. Grateful for a job that pays my bills. Grateful for a relaxed boss who only cares that the work is done but not during which working hours.

That is what you have to wear in summer now. :grimacing: And they are waterproof, tried every puddle I found.

They’re gorgeous. I’m grateful you’re ok. I just this minute saw the news about the flooding in your country and Berlin and thought of you and here you are. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. you going to need some bigger boots :scream: Be safe out there. I’m glad your not in western Germany. We got hammered with rain yesterday too But not like what I saw on the news in Germany.
:pray::heart:

Yeah, but it is very regional. In the west where it rained to much the soil and rivers cannot take anymore and in regions with drought the heavy rain cannot be absorbed and created flooding. Grateful I am no longer living in souterrain.

As thinking of camping Menno @Mno in Belgium. Might be heavy there too.

@Mno looked like he was having fun with water up to his gummistiefeln :joy:

Our ground is so dry we get the run off thing and it floods fast here. I just get it under my house :grimacing:

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free. There are moments of frustrarion and irritability but I know that a drink will only ultimately exacerbate that feeling.

I am grateful for my wax melts and warmer that smells good and helps me ease into my night before my shift.

I am grateful to be here and to be alive working towards a better version of myself with all of you. :two_hearts:

I haven’t checked in here in a while. I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful for my kids, even if they drive me nuts sometimes. I am grateful to be feeling better today. I am grateful I just discovered the Swedish Fish gummies my wife got :fish:

I’m grateful I actually made it threw this day sober and I’m laying down getting ready for bed to make sure just because that’s how unsure I am about myself today :pensive:

Nicely done, Hollz. I went to bed early a lot in the early days! You’ll feel proud in the morning. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful that I, too, am putting this day to bed! Today was good - but full and tiring, and I need a good good sleep tonight. Like Dazercat always says, we’re worth it! :laughing:

I’m grateful @RosaCanDo’s surgery went well, and that @anon74766472’s feet are dry!

I’m grateful tomorrow’s Friday, and that I’m meeting some work pals for lunch F2F in an actual restaurant. I’m grateful things are opening up here, even if it seems like half of society has relapsed… :smirk: But hey, to each his own!

I’m grateful I’m sober, that I’m present to all the things around me. My call with Mom last night. The wind in the trees tonight. The huge bee that buzzed around one of my flower pots this afternoon after my work calls. The way the wildfires make the sun burn orange in the hazy sky.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

We’re making it through the day, your going to find your strength and build up the structure on the footing that you build today. Learning how to place the cornerstones of our sobriety ensures that its less likely to crumble. Glad your making it to bed sober.:+1::+1:rest well and be ready for the next challenges we may face.:first_quarter_moon_with_face:

Today I am grateful to have had a sober day yesterday, a great night of sleep and to feel good this morning. I am grateful to have seen my son have an excellent day yesterday passing his driver’s test, playing golf with friends and swimming with his girlfriend. It warms my heart to see him enjoying his teen years and staying true to himself. I worry about this thing we have and how it may impact him in the future. Seeing him be true to himself and find joy in solid relationships helps me to worry a little less. I’m grateful the weekend is almost here and for all of your shares, stories and gratitudes. I’m here because you are and for that I am thankful.

I’m grateful to God for another hangover free sober morning with hot coffee, cat and dog on my lap and life is good.
I’m grateful I had my windows cleaned yesterday. Let the rain :umbrella: continue.
I’m grateful for the rain. And that I’m safe from flooding high waters. I pray for the safety of others in my town and in Western Europe dealing with dangerous flooding. :pray:t2:
I’m grateful we are making travel plans and have dates for visiting my son in Dallas in October or November, I can remember which. :grimacing: We have 2 trips planned to Texas.
I’m grateful the kennel we found could take all six of my pets.
I’m grateful that, “presently,” I’m actually looking forward to flying sober for the first time in like forever.
I’m grateful I’ve done the homework. I’ve racked up the sober days and “presently,” I’m not worried about flying sober like I use to. I’m actually looking forward to the challenge. Bring it on!!
I’m grateful, I feel like I can safely speak for all of us here, that we never feel like a burden when we share our gratitude. @KellyKelly it was a great place for me to start my sober journey on TS until I felt comfortable sharing with others on different threads. And I’m grateful I’m still here.
I’m grateful the mornings are cooler than last week and we don’t have to walk the dogs at the butt crack of dawn.
I’m grateful for my health. Even with my heart issues. I’m in pretty great shape.
I’m grateful for blood thinners.
I’m grateful I can afford my blood thinners. I don’t know how other people do it. It’s just so fucked up!!
I’m grateful to be able share my gratitude with y’all every day.
I’m grateful to see some of the other TS regulars popping in here for a quick bit of gratitude once and awhile.
:pray:t2::heart:

Your feelings are valid………
Even if you can’t find the words for them.
