Congratulations Brian on your year and a half of sobriety and everything else that you have been able to accomplish that goes with it.
You been working so hard for this and you deserve it. It’s so wonderful watching you heal from your pain and loving yourself more. You inspire me so much. Ya YOU!!
Wow, this is so overdue…
Today I am grateful for:
Glad my dog is still here…
Good old @Dazercat keeping me accountable. I read this, feels like a week ago but it says two days. I haven’t posted for awhile. I’ve been in my own head. Funny thing is this practice of gratitude seems to have kind of subconsciously changed my mind. I see myself quietly recommending grateful introspection/reflection to people, and I find gratitude is more apart of my repertoire than ever before. I do however think like anything it must perpetually be practiced if one is to utilise and develop it, so I’m overcoming my temporary stubborn unwillingness and here I go.
Grateful for a few days of sunshine this morning beaming through the cloudy haze, beckoning me into life’s embrace, stirring a question of possibility from within the safe yet poisonous confines of my cotton cocoon.
I’m grateful I have access to food and water, modern exersize equipment, doctors, transport, police, all of those things that are easily overlooked for a cushy westerner like myself. I’m grateful for mountains, rivers, all that beautiful stuff we are blessed with here in NZ. I’m grateful I have a family who loves and supports me. I’m grateful that in November I would have completed the first year of my degree (WOHOO), grateful it’s a challenge as that keeps this alcoholic on his toes. Grateful for two years three weeks completely sober. Grateful for this thread and those that use it, I’ve said before but you guys truely are leaders in gratitude for me and without your constant adherence to this I would find an excuse to slip away from gratitude and into morbid pessimism… grateful for talking sober, grateful that gratitude is the opposite to taking for granted, oh which for me is a dangerous pastime. Grateful I made the choice to overcome my unwillingness to do this before too long. Lots of love all.
I’m so grateful to be sober. There’s nothing a drink could give me that would make the best day better, or make the worst day better either.
I’m grateful today was cold and rainy. It’s refreshing and we need it.
I’m grateful for friends - old and new, far and near, and all you Gratidudes of course.
I’m grateful for this Saturday, at the end of a week I tried to keep under control (what I could of it!) and to be reading all of your posts that fill my cup…
I missed yesterday/last night too, @Sunflower. Sorry you had a rough night, but I love what you wrote… I got through it, didn’t drink, and life goes on. Im grateful for that. I had one of those dreading-it situations this week, and I didn’t drink either. And hey, I’m pretty grateful you and I are still here and our sobriety’s intact!
I’m grateful for what @anon74766472 wrote: But we could laugh about it and I will grow eventually. and how great an example she has become for me about just being more playful, more curious, about myself - and less judgmental and critical. Grateful for you! 
I’m grateful to see @WCan and what he wrote… For getting better everyday at managing and balancing my work, health and life in general since I quit drinking Yes to that, friend! And yes @Lilemm to being able to just sit and relax a little more! And for the lovely wishes and words @Peace puts in her posts! Beautiful.
Always grateful that no matter what is going on in @Dazercat’s life, he makes me chuckle. The bus from the Assisted Living centre will pick me up after you, friend! Grateful for the healthcare that will look after you. And no matter what version you are, I think you’re pretty (fuckin’) perfect the way you are.
I’m grateful for another day. 
Woo hoo! Congrats, friend! Instead of a cake party, I’d host a TS-takes-over-Timmies for all our Gratidudes! 
If I could, lol!
You are a daily inspiration, friend. Ya you. 
Grateful to be in reality and see my life for what it is
Congratulations Brian!! 
I hope you find a little time to celebrate your awesome achievement. I’ll be celebrating with you from afar with some ice cream.
I get to go home and be Dad
Congratulations, Brian! Thank you for always being here, each and every single day 
Good evening family.
Grateful Brian and I have matching key fobs.
Congrats @I.cant.We.can on your 1.5 years of freedom.
Grateful to have shared a meal and celebrated a cake with new friends.
Grateful for the strong addicts who have solid recovery showing me the way.
Grateful for my parents and my kiddo, their love and support means the world to me.
Grateful for my new crystals and new books.
Grateful for being open to new people coming into my life.
Today I’m grateful I got to wake up
I’m G for my friends and family, roof over head food in belly
Today I’m G the sun is shining and I get to go spend time with my mum
I’m G I get to go swimming with my son later
I’m G that I get another day to make it count to practice being kind and grateful and humble
I’m very grateful for t. S and my fellowship without you guys this would be nr on maddening of the mind and spirit. Have a blessed grateful Sunday 
Really grateful for sobriety this morning. Grateful for all of you and the technology for building this magical little community. Grateful for the trees around my house that bring shade when it’s hot and happy birds to sing in the mornings. Grateful for coffee and reflective solitude.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful I got some good rest yesterday and last night, and I feel better this morning. I’m grateful to be sitting on my back patio listening to thunder off in the distance. Maybe we’ll get some rain today 
. Im grateful for the dark grey sky against the green of the trees, that combination of colors makes me feel happy and alive and like a kid getting excited for the storm coming. I’m grateful for coffee and tea. I’m grateful that the soup I made yesterday tasted good, even though it was a weird shade of purple. It was chicken and wild rice, but I was out of wild rice so replaced it with black rice. Guess I’m no cook like @I.cant.We.can or @Dazercat!
Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I grateful to God I don’t need booze.
I’m grateful for this practice of gratitude.
I’m grateful my lap is big enough for Daisy and Benson.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful I’m listening to my body. I wish I would do it more often and sooner.
I’m grateful for movies. Especially great ones like Terms Of Endearment where I get totally sucked in and escape. And I don’t wake up with a hangover the next morning.
I’m grateful to be able to see the beautiful ponderosa pines out in my back yard.
I’m grateful I can hear Minnie’s rhythmic snoring.
I’m grateful I can feel the warmth of cat and dog on my lap.
I’m grateful for that first taste of coffee. The cold shit at the bottom on my cup? Not so much.
I’m grateful I don’t smell anything bad. Trying to cover all the 5 senses Here. Give me a break on the smell bit. 
I’m grateful for the 3 trips we planned. Especially seeing my son in Dallas in October. It’ll be almost 2 years.
I’m grateful to be able to make travel plans again and if COVID fucks it all up we’ll deal with that when the time comes.
I’m grateful I know I’m going to have a bunch of feelings and emotions coming up again because of my heart procedure. Some will be nice. Some will suck. But either way I’ll be sober.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today.
And you just know I’m grateful that I’m probably not drinking tomorrow either.
I’m grateful for y’all and the strength you give me each morning.
I am unique and amazing and there is no one in the world like me.
Still feels good 
Grateful it did not rain today. Grateful for sun. Grateful I am independent. In some ways this is good. And as this is the gratitude thread I stick to this.
Grateful for a roof over my head. Grateful I went to my friend, having a nice walk with her dog.
Grateful I found her as a friend. Cannot believe this.
Grateful my sunflower finally starts growing after I took the seed out and turned it around yesterday. 
Apparently it has two poles. Grateful I can smile about this.
I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to remain clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for all my family. I’m grateful for my friends. I’m grateful for all the gratidudes and the wonderful support and cheers for my milestone yesterday, such a nice boost. One more time I am grateful for all the mentions and likes it means alot, you guys are great.
I’m sad but grateful to have gotten woke this lovely Sunday morning by one of my housemates to discuss what to do about a suicide note he found. I’m grateful that I have support in place to help deal with the sad reality of such situations. I’m grateful I called the police who came and left and everyone is safe and accounted for. I’m grateful that this is not going to make me drink or use, it does make me feel emotions of all sorts and that’s part of this deal that I signed up for getting clean and sober.
I’m grateful to God.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen
I’m grateful for this regular practice of gratitude and its tremendous value, without it when life threw curve balls like it did today I would be getting drunk, high, depressed, all of the above. I’m grateful that I have my home group tonight. I’m grateful my housemate just brought me coffee and late breakfast. I’m grateful that golf is on tv as I write this cause obviously some of this is heavy. I’m grateful that my housemate who wrote the note is still sleeping but answered me. We had the police out looking for one of my other housemates, the wrong one oooppps. I’m grateful that I have my supports on stand by for when I talk to him when he gets up. I’m grateful that I can lay down and rest on the couch now and at least try to de-stress.
I’m grateful for my experiences and age at times like these, who am I… grateful for my age… Lol.
I’m grateful for all you grati-dudes.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You are amazing, so smile and breathe with me it feels good. Ya you!!
I love this, it’s very poetic.
I also love my safe but poisonous cotton cocoon. Feels nice but not really good for me.
Thank you
I’m grateful for one more day sober and well spent.
I’m grateful for another day where I haven’t woken up anxious and unsure of what I may have done the night before.
