There’s nothing like a cool mysterious sober leg selfie. Especially with cool socks or boots. @Callie99

She reported that when they worked with a group of alks as inpatients, after thirty days abstinent, zero had depression like before. That was enough to keep me going just for today.
Thanks for sharing this!!! That helps make sense of my new found love of meetings. They have really saved my life. Thanks for podcast shoutout, gonna listen. Thanks again, have a great day.

Today I’m grateful for - sunday! for waking up sober, for putting the turkey in the oven on time, for my husband helping me with kitchen chores, for my happy mum receiving fresh lunch from me, for cuddly cats sleeping on me, for the gray, rainy weather that makes staying at home in pyjama so cozy. And I’m greateful for tea. Today I’m especially keen on tea and greateful for the wide choice of teas I have in my cupboard.

I’m grateful for another day.
I’m grateful Daisy has been extra friendly and purry and soft and keeping my lap warm.
I’m grateful for good friends on TS.
I’m grateful for my Pilates reformer instructor and how awesome I always feel after having and class.
I’m grateful tomorrow I can get back to power walking and I have another Pilates lesson.
I’m grateful I didn’t do the last of my cut back, yard work, yesterday. It’s still out there for me to do today or tomorrow.
I’m grateful for the nice dinner at the club last night.
I’m grateful I get to try a new morning routine.
I’m grateful for the lousy split pea soup I had a few days ago. I’m going to put my pea soup skills to work today and show me how it’s done 
I’m grateful for football Sunday and my wife kind of enjoys it too. I’m grateful when my wife does get into a game she is a rabid, kill them, take no prisoners fan. It’s too funny. I’m grateful we have a good laugh when I fall asleep during the game and she ends up watching it and giving me shit about it later. 
I’m grateful for my wife, my marriage, my kids, my pets, my life, and my sobriety, that I pray I can protect at all costs.
I’m grateful I know where to go when I’m struggling.
TS works if you work it and your worth it.
The more I give thanks for my life as it is, the more I can accept the healing that allows me to change and grow.

I’m grateful to be home, waking up in my own bed while it’s still dark and quiet.
I’m so, so grateful for all of your kind words, non-judgmental replies, support and encouragement since my teary teetering-at-the-gate post. Thank you for this place where I can come as I am. For being here, all of you.
I’m grateful yesterday was what I needed it to be. I still felt a little unsure of my footing, but went about the business of unpacking, doing laundry, catching up with dear pals, getting some grocs in the frig. Picking up the dog girl - delight (and something of a sloppy furry in-public make-out sesh 
).
I was getting ready to post last night, and got side-tracked with a few late texts from a pal, and it turned into a spontaneous long convo. I’m so grateful to be sober for these kinds of things. Able to answer the phone, not hiding that I am sipping while on the phone. Able to get off the phone and see how wealthy I am, truly, in people who care for me. Able to be present as someone who cares for others. Just as I do for the Gratidudes.
I’m grateful for the day I have ahead of me - still putting my wee home in order for the week ahead, getting settled at my desk, indulging the dog girl in extra walks and cuddles. Checking in with you all here and there…
I’m grateful for another day.

I used to be so busy taking photos I actually missed everything. I am glad you got some time to absorb the beauty and I hope that your mood has lifted some.

I love this whole post. Your ability to hold both sadness and see beauty/feel gratitude, at the same time. It’s “both/and”, not “either/or”.
I echo Stella Bella - I hope your mood has lifted and that your cod trip is a peaceful, roaring success

I am grateful that I went to bed and woke up sober.
I am grateful that when my kiddo came in at 6:30a, saying the car battery was dead, that I popped out of bed, not hungover or lagging but eager to get that kid to work on time.
I am grateful that I am posting here even though the day started to go south, because thirty minutes of bad does not have to equal an entirely bad day.
I am grateful I turned my camera on and shared in my TLC meeting. Showing up, taking space, being real.
I am grateful that my older kid is coming to the house and I will not hold resentment that she has not been communicating with me (even to tell me she was coming over today).
I am grateful that I have solid skills and that only I can decide not to succeed.
I am grateful that I can acknowledge that nothing is conspiring against me, except me.
I am grateful that I can do better, at this moment, in this hour, on this day. Better is all I have to expect from myself, at least for now.
I am grateful, though I struggle, that I can acknowledge that regret is a pointless expense of energy, better spent in pursuit of doing better.
I am grateful for you.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that I have a work to make my living.
I am grateful I have everything I need right now.
I am grateful I can talk openly with my brother.
I am grateful my body is healing and I don’t rush. There is no way of rushing the healing anyways. (I will start a leg 30 days challenge to keep me a bit occupied)
I am grateful to acknowledge nice people do exist.

Today is day 365 aka 1 year sober. And I have so much to be grateful for but let me keep it short…
I am grateful that finding my sobriety has also enabled me to find myself…to know myself and love myself just a bit better.
I am grateful that in stopping drinking I have also stopped destroying myself. Because face it that is what drinking does to a lot of people.
I am grateful for steps I have taken this past year in terms of improving my health - losing a bunch of weight, eating, sleeping, exercising so much better and regularly. Getting to the dentist, getting my eyes fixed. Those things have been key to keeping me on the sober path this past year. Things I pushed out of my mind and desire to take care of while being a drunk.
I am grateful for getting out of the box that drinking packed me away in. I have revived some old friendships and made new ones. I’m grateful to them.
And, I’m grateful to TS and all of you out there around the world sharing your struggles and successes. I’m pretty sure I have not missed a single day spending some time on here reading. I don’t post much, but I truly appreciate and have gratitude to those that do.
Getting to the end of the first year. Watching the counter tick closer to this day. For me It is really just the first step. I do not want to go back to where I was just a year ago. I’m going to keep on keepin on, folks. With gratitude.
Bye for now…

I’m grateful to God for helping me through another day clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes.
I’m grateful for sports to watch. I’m grateful for good food to eat. I’m grateful I can cry after tough conversations and feel a little better.
God bless you all.

I am grateful for my faith
I am grateful for friends this might sound like a little thing but I sent a text to five guys and all of them got back to me not normal for me
I am grateful that I worked Saturday night. I did cashier at a country music concert it was Kenny Chesney and George Strait if anyone likes country so 40thousand or more people. I was on the club floor serving hotdogs burgers and beer. And one of the guys that returned the text I brought up was working next to me and we kept an eye on each other. That night I made over 400.00 in tips on top of my hourly for 12 hours work. Christmas for my kids right there!
I am grateful the director for the sober house I live in wants me to be a house manager at one of the houses
As always I am grateful for you
