A little afternoon gratitude is in order today.
I’m grateful for all the people here that genuinely care about my health.
I’m grateful I feel like we really do genuinely care about each other. And that is so cool.
I’m grateful I went to my dermatologist and he went over my precancerous moles situation. He wasn’t very concerned. He said we could just watch them or remove them. Since they are on my back chances are I won’t be watching them. He said being on blood thinners would not be a problem. I told him I didn’t want to bleed out all over his table. Again he assured me I’d be fine. I didn’t feel a thing as he simply removed both moles on my back. And said you’re good to go see you in six months. Of course they will send it out for a biopsy but it shouldn’t be a problem since it’s precancerous.
I’m grateful I can finish my root canal tomorrow.
Yay me !!

Haven’t checked in for a while but have been feeling very grateful. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see new places. I’m grateful for friendships that are like family. I’m grateful to my family for being my rocks. I’m grateful to the NHS for patching/strapping up my newly fractured foot - not even going to let it ruin my holiday. I’m grateful for wild swimming and the feeling that takes your breath away when the water hits. I’m grateful for naps while listening to family chat in the car or in other rooms of the house. I’m grateful for every sober drink I’ve ordered this holiday so far while at a bar with friends. I’m grateful I was part of my friend’s wedding. I’m grateful I was strong enough to enjoy it sober. I’m SO grateful that not one second of this holiday has been blurred or tainted by a hangover. Grateful I’ve made time for some pilates. Grateful for the strength of my body (fractured foot aside). Grateful for our old family dog.
Wow. I could keep going but sleep calls. I’m really happy and proud.

Welcome Donna.
This is a great place to get support for our sobriety. I never miss a day on this gratitude thread.
We got a lot to be grateful for when we are sober.
Another great thread IMO 
I hope to see you around.

I’m grateful for the absolutely beautiful weather today.
I’m grateful I like early mornings, that when the sky started to lighten this morning - you know, before the sun actually rises - and that one bird closest to my window started chirping away before 5am, I just replied “ok, bird dude. You win. Let’s get this day started!”
I’m grateful he got me up so I could have a quiet morning at my desk getting ready for a full day at it. I’m grateful that even though this week is also a doozy (at least until end-tomorrow), I’m not rattled. I have my sobriety to lean on, and my gratitude.
I’m grateful I could sit on my patio tonight, the dog girl hanging out in some shade, and phone chat with a pal - just deeply enjoying the air temperature, the dappled sun and shade, the conversation.
I’m grateful for the little shout outs and conversations we have here throughout the day! It’s heartwarming, and yep @Dazercat - I really do feel we all just care about each other’s wellbeing so much. It’s pretty remarkable and I’m grateful for it.
I’m grateful I’m going to bed early. I think bird dude and I are gonna be having a little date each morning - at least for the next month or so - so I best get my coffee beans ready and tuck myself in!
I’m grateful for another day.

This cracked me up! I’ve said similar frequently: “Okay, okay, I’m up, I’m up, pajarito (little bird)” Hahahaha!!! Love it.

Today I’m grateful for summer rain, you know, the light and quiet sound of it falling steady and calm. I’m grateful for the catbirds who’ve built a nest right next to the screened in porch in a holly bush so that I could sit and watch the parents feed those hungry yellow orange mouths that poke out when they come by with tasty morsels. I watched them almost all day. I’m grateful for time in the kitchen with my Mami, and the satisfying feeling of preparing food for the little family we are going back to visit tomorrow. I’m grateful that I get to see my nugget and bro + sis-in-law tomorrow and stay for 5 days. I’m grateful that my husband and I were approved for a big enough car loan and we have enough to put down to buy our very first new new car! A Suburu Forester, perfect for those Northern Iowa winters. I’m grateful a reliable vehicle means I can drive down to visit family anytime the mood strikes me. I’m grateful for vaccines and a health conscious family who has been super careful so we can enjoy this time together now.
As always I’m grateful for you amigos.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful to God I got up just after 5am. On my on.
I’m grateful the birds really are singing away like crazy just before the sun up over here too.
I’m grateful I can get my walk in with the dogs really early so my wife doesn’t have to do it alone.
And grateful I can then walk to my endodontist.
I’m grateful I can only be doing this because I’m sober and hangover free.
I’m grateful Benson is sitting on my lap and Maverick is up by my shoulders hitting me with his tail. They’ve all forgot the no feeding before 6am rule 
I’m grateful for my long walk down Venice beach yesterday.
I’m grateful I’m starting to do things like going to the beach in the afternoon alone.
I’m grateful I reckon I’ve never been alone. Really alone.
I’m grateful for all the milestones here at TS.
I’m grateful for the joy in celebrating the milestones everyone reaches.
Grateful for TS and all you guys on this thread showing all your gratitude.
When we recover loudly, we keep others from dying quietly

I’m grateful for the most amazing 10/10 day I had exploring and swimming with my family today. And for the cheese on toast I’m about to eat before falling into a happily exhausted sleep.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful to be done with work today, and sitting on the back porch with my husband and mother in law, enjoying a ginger beer and chatting. I can hear my daughter out front playing with her “bestie” that lives across the street. Son is being a typical teenager and listening to music in his room, but poking his head out now and then to see what we are up to. I feel pretty happy right now. I’m grateful for all of these little things, and grateful that I’m not thinking “ a glass of wine would make this better.”
I’m grateful for TS, and the support I see.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I’m grateful to God for helping me make it to bed clean and sober. I had a bike accident today and will need to replace my bent rear wheel. I’m grateful that I can afford to do so. I’m grateful that even though I’m in pain I won’t drink or do drugs. I’m grateful that the hospital is very close by and if my pain worsens I can hopefully get there . I scrapped up my right knee, elbow and shoulder. My left arm and rib however where I ran into my friend on his bike is incredibly sore, I think I may have reinjured my previously cracked ribs and collar bone. I’m grateful that even though we both hit the pavement he at least says he is fine and seemed to be ok earlier, he says it’s cause he’s big young and dumb and I’m sore cause I’m old, he did just turn 26 the day after I turned 43 LMAO I’m grateful I can laugh about it even though it hurts a little. God please help me get some rest. i usually sleep on my side but both my shoulders are sore so we’ll see if I can sleep. I’m grateful that I already talked to my family and friends about it. I’m grateful that I got the day off tomorrow now. I’m grateful that I had a good day and was feeling emotionally, spiritually and physically better. It’s been five and half hours since the accident spent time since talking with people, convincing Mom that I am ok. Gratefully my phone didn’t get busted and I called a friend who came with his truck and brought me and my bike home. I’m grateful I decided to post I was trying to rest but my head is spinning. I’m grateful that I didn’t hit my head. I’m grateful I have Disney+ to keep me entertained while I rest up. I’m grateful for my revovery. I’m grateful for all you gratidudes. God bless you all. &
p.s. could use some get well prayers, please and thank you. damn I’m sore. btw you are awesome. ya you!!

Grateful the weather will be great before the storms and rain begin tomorrow.
Grateful I have people who don’t judge me.

Good morning family.
Today I am grateful that I am nearing the end of my step 8.
I am grateful I asked for guidance from other members in recovery and got it like I always do.
I am so grateful for reconnection I am finding connections that were blanketed in substances now just amplified with recovery.
I am grateful for the power of letting go and all of the freedom that ironically comes with it. You let shit go and you get so much.
I am grateful for technology and video calls.
I am grateful that I have had such an awesome week.
I am grateful that Brian @I.cant.We.can made it home after his fall and I am hopeful he got some sleep last night.
