Good evening family.
Very grateful recovering addict today, grateful for…
Tonight I’m grateful for all the heartfelt posts on this thread…
…for @I.cant.We.can’s 6 months Nicotine-free! Check it again, friend - I think you’re there!
…for @Sunflower’s and @Beforemy30s’s and @Dazercat’s and @Its_me_Stella’s gratitude for their grandparents and moms and kids and families. It’s amazing how our connections to family and dear ones strengthen with recovery…
…for health care systems and doctors and professionals that will tend to all of Eric’s stuff, and that vaccinated @anon74766472, and that thankfully have kept @Falicitie alive (welcome, Falicitie - so glad you have joined us!), and for @Hailstrom’s mental-health-supportive boss…
…for the day I wanted and needed to have, at my desk, on the trails, and in my kitchen. And soon with my sober head on the pillow. 
I am going to have to catch up here when we get on the road on Wednesday. 10 hours should do the trick! For now I will say I’m so so so grateful for my lovely parents. They just really show me so much love and empathy, and I am a lucky girl. I’m grateful my Mami has experience cutting hair (her grandpa and dad were barbers, at least part time, and my Tía Ana went to beautician school and gave my mom a refresher course today). She did a great job. I’m grateful I felt good about cutting this weighty hair off and it’s going to a great cause. I’m grateful I have had such a wonderful time with my parents and Eric so far. Oh, and Lupe! They just love her and see how she’s almost a different dog now after Chucho left us. She is more tolerable, I hate to say it, but it’s the truth. I’m grateful I have a few more days here and then we head down and my parents are giving me all the skinny on my niece and say that she will just love me. I can’t wait. I’m grateful I can ramble on about my gratitude here and I believe I won’t be judged.
Always grateful for you all. Can’t wait to catch up. 
I cleaned my ears and got a haircut just for the picture day! 
Grateful being sober.
Grateful for coffee in bed. No hurries as again it’s 
raining.
Grateful I am calm.
Grateful for seeing you all being grateful. Even though some days I have difficulty to express my gratitude I get so much input here.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for a wonderful visit to my daughters house yesterday.
I’m grateful for the tacos and queso they made.
I’m grateful my daughter is such a wonderful person.
I’m grateful for the pizza delivery we had last night. And the pizza was pretty good.
I’m grateful I’m really learning to take things one day at a time.
I’m grateful because of my health issues I can’t do a thing this week because I have no doctors appointments. I may feel depressed. I may feel anxious. I’m may feel totally out of control. And that’s ok. I’ll feel what I got to feel and move on.
I’m grateful I’ll eventually get all patched up on Gods timing not mine.
I’m grateful I have a very supportive wife to help me get through all these issues. They just seem so complicated today.
I’m grateful if I’m tired I got a great reason to be tired. And I got carte blanche to nap. 
I’m grateful I’m not in pain and my only symptom seems to be fatigue.
I’m grateful I now know why I’m tired all the time.
I’m grateful I can unload my issues here and start my day off on a grateful hopeful step.
Thanks y’all.
God can’t heal what we don’t own.

Good morning family.

I’m grateful I was able to go out dancing with my hubby and I was sober
I’m grateful for my friends who made me this cool sweat shirt for my work
Im grateful to wake up hangover free!!
Im grateful the bump on my fur babies tail was cancer free
Im grateful for my health
Im grateful to be sober happy and free
I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober just for today. I’m grateful to God please help me be the best version of myself today. I’m grateful for my recovery and that if I just continue to work at it, it works for me. I’m grateful to be doing my morning gratitude it really helps my day when I take the time to type it out. I’m grateful that I have the ability to relinquish control of plans, it’s kind of a day off, I was going to watch nba and nhl playoffs from an air conditioned couch now my sponsor has me coming to a bbq and talk step work and my housemate wants me to take him to a meeting tonight.
I’m grateful for all my family and friends and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful that I will be riding my bike soon for some excersise. I’m grateful that I will get to have at least a little chat with Mom today. I’m grateful for music as I write this, calming nature sounds, I’m grateful for the classic rock I will listen to on the bike.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You are a star , shine bright. Ya you!!
I’m grateful for a productive day: I packed things away and started to decide which things to take abroad with me: photos and most precious books. Leaving my book collection behind will be tough.
I’m grateful for journalling. I had a quick scan through one from last year. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
I was writing in the midst of heartbreak. God it was tough. I’m grateful I can look back and see that relationship wasn’t for me. And that I wouldn’t be about to move across the continent alone if we had stayed together. I wouldn’t have this amazing opportunity.
I’m grateful for a lovely afternoon lunch with friends. I had a couple of different non alcoholic drinks. And I didn’t feel I was missing out. I can’t believe the change in mindset. No thinking ‘just one’ or can ‘I have one and a half glasses and still drive’ or ’ I wish I wasn’t driving’. I’m grateful for the bitter experience that tells me i can handle tough things . Now time for Netflix evening before another week begins.
Yay for sober dancing and healthy pets!!
Amen to that I didn’t think I could dance sober but I did it and it was so fun!!
I love my books too have a great evening
Good evening all, grateful for rest today.
Grateful for my kids. And my crazy pets. I’m grateful for sunshine and a nice breeze today. I’m grateful for comedy movies with the family. I’m grateful that I am here and present to enjoy these things. Grateful for you guys, like always.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I’m grateful I’m not in jail
I’m grateful I’m alive
I’m grateful my wife has soffit to stand by my side
But most importantly I am grateful and sober 107 days
I’m grateful for the day I had. It was 24C today! Good thing I didn’t drink over snowflakes in May 5 days ago. Bad weather and moods too don’t last forever… but I want my sobriety to.
I’m grateful I could spend most of the day getting my little patio garden all ready to go, some planting too. Maybe in September I’ll bring tomato salad to the Gratidudes potluck picnic? 
I can dream, right?!
I know I’ve already said it, but I’m so grateful tomorrow is a holiday!
Grateful for all of you, for this practice.
Grateful for my tea and bed and book. Always grateful for another day.
Grateful being sober.
Having a day off.
Grateful I realise my impulsive reactions. Though, they are not as destructive as they used to be, I have them. It’s okay, I can work on it. I will confess. I impulsively deleted some posts in frustration to someone ignoring my thoughts. Stupid it is, indeed. Writing it out might help.
Grateful I share and don’t chew it up inside me.
Grateful for the beauty life offers when I am willing to look at it.
I really like this. What a wonderful and simple way to show ourselves some grace.
I’m grateful I’m up early this morning- couldn’t sleep, but now I have time to sip my coffee and be grateful in the quiet. I’m grateful that I know I will sleep better tonight. I’m grateful for my home and everyone in it. I’m grateful for morning routines with my dogs, and for their unconditional love.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Today I’m still grateful for a day off! For second and bajillionth chances to get it right, or closer to right. To be sober. To love a long weekend and love it more because it’s a sober one.
I’m grateful I can still learn how to do things differently. Big things, little things too. I’m grateful I can cut myself and others too more slack - sober slack. I used to be a lot harder on myself, in the before-time-with-wine. Probably I just knew I should put the wine glass down, but instead I kept it full and tried to do better at everything else. Gak. Glad that’s over!
I’m grateful for the good long chat I had with a pal last night. Gabbing away. Distance shmistance. Isolation shmisolation.
I’m grateful for the somewhat cloudy, windy day out there - will be better to hunker in and take care of things indoors after yesterday’s full day outside on the back 40 (um, not acres, more like feet !)
I’m grateful for the dog girl, sleeping away beside me - always showing me how to be present.
I’m grateful for another day.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for the cat naps, literally and figuratively, that I’ve been taking.
I’m grateful I was able to go back to sleep at 5:30 and get up at 7:30.
I’m grateful I’m learning I can’t just “power through things.” If I’m tired I need to rest.
I grateful I am still learning about chores that need to be done around the house. How to explain. 
It doesn’t matter who does them. If I want to go to bed first there’s just some chores that need to be done before the first person goes to bed. And I shouldn’t,…wait for it… be resentful that “I’m doing all the chores.” I’m sure I’m not. So basically. I’m grateful when I catch myself having resentful feelings and eventually recognize them. It may take a few days but I got there.
Fuck resentments!
I’m grateful I still have my health, even though presently it doesn’t feel that way. I’m grateful I can walk to the beach and the Y and exercise and still live life and not get all liquored up.
I’m grateful for Minnie jumping up on the couch to sit by me.
Grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful, I think it’s going to be a warmer sunny day.
I’m grateful for my Courage To Change reading this morning. 
The path to my true hearts desire is to surrender to the will of my (edit) God**
