Happy Thanksgiving everyone 
Today I am thankful for all of you. For being sober. It’s my favorite Thanksgiving I can remember in a long time. I’m thankful for Ian and my friends. I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful I got the day off from work. Im thankful for my fur babies. I’m thankful the meal turned out yummy. I wish I could fully express what you all mean to me. Thank you for being my sober family. Thank you for always being here. Thank you for helping save me. Sending all the love

Good morning all!
I’m so grateful to be alcohol free for 28 days and to have successfully navigated the territories of Thanksgiving without any booze! Yay!!!
I’m grateful to be clear headed and well rested on this early Friday morning with 3 more days of the Thanksgiving break.
I’m grateful for libraries and the freedom to read so many books for free.
I’m grateful for my kind and loving family. It has been a very very long journey from my abusive childhood to this morning. I’m so proud of my sons having grown into kind and loving men despite the family dysfunctions.
I’m grateful for a loving husband. He is my soulmate and even tho we have been drinking buddies, he is being just the kind of supportive I need. And he’s reducing his use significantly along the way.
I’m grateful to have a very fulfilling career that not only provides enough financial support to live comfortably, but more importantly, feeds my soul and inspires me to be a better person.
I’m grateful to have lived long enough to have had many amazing and several terrible experiences that are feeding me some wisdom. I’m a woman who has come through some shit and am proud to be getting older and humbly finding peace in the pursuit of wisdom and health. I hope to live a long time with this lens, having worked hard to cast off the suffocating masks of anxiety, anger, fear, and insecurity.
I’m grateful to have pretty good health and the opportunity to work on improving myself to better love and serve others. I mostly love to serve others because it makes me feel good. So actually, it’s a selfish goal. Hehehe
I’m grateful to have found so much support and so many resources in online platforms like this. People may say many negative things about social media, but this is definitely an area of amazing human community and I’m grateful to be able to access it from the comfort of my home anytime, day or night. This is really quite amazing.
I wish you all peace!

I’m grateful for the lovely 2nd sober, kind of boring, but perfect, Thanksgiving Day I had yesterday. And I’m grateful I feel pretty darn good this morning. As always grateful no hangover this morning. And grateful I still got my 106 days of no added sugar.
I’m grateful my wife didn’t have to make pies yesterday for just the 2 of us. I’m grateful I got my fat ass out for a walk yesterday afternoon after the feast and during a game. I’m grateful I didn’t eat too much. But I did still feel stuffed 
. I guess I’m getting old or maybe I just don’t eat like I use to, since I lost all that weight.
I’m grateful for the leftover turkey sandwich in my future. Grateful like Ross on that Friends episode 
I’m grateful for TS and Twitter and how you both help keep me sober yesterday even if I might have spent too much time on line. I’m grateful my Twitter use is now mostly for the good and support and caring of others like us. I’m grateful to have switched my focus to the good and kindness and fun stuff on Twitter. I’m grateful it’s out there if you seek it.
I’m grateful one of the kids is putting together a zoom call this afternoon. If she remembers. 
I’m grateful my son put together a beautiful looking spread for his new or second family in Dallas that he and his wife hosted. And I only got 2 phone calls for help. I’m grateful he can call his Dad like that.
I’m grateful I can always answer the phone now sober. Especially when it’s one of my children. It still brings tears to my eyes, right now, because this was not always the case. I know I’m not alone. But it’s just hard to imagine ignoring a phone call from your child because you didn’t know if you were sober enough to talk to them. 🥲 That’s almost the best benefit of being sober. 🥲
Love you guys.
Be thankful for today, because in one moment your entire life can change.

Grateful for 110 days sober. Grateful for my doctor who has been following me closely during my early months of sobriety with labs and EKGs. This week was my first time with both all within normal limits. I cried, of course, and thanked him; to which his reply was, “it has been you going to meetings and doing the work”, which just made my cry harder. He doesn’t realize that without his referrals to a psychiatrist, a therapist, a GI doc, a heart doc, and monthly labs that I’d never had made it this far. For today I’m grateful to be sober.

I’m grateful to have a job. I’m grateful that I slept well last night. I’m grateful for walks. I’m grateful for my Mom, always, and our ongoing e-mails, calls and texts. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful I can take a nap and set an alarm so I don’t miss AA tonight. I’m grateful that a councellor came by for a house meeting. I’m grateful for all of you, that’s right, you!!
God bless you all.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful to be done with work for the week. I’m grateful that I am tired, and tried to work out, but ultimately I just stopped and stretched and took a hot shower. I’m grateful for hot showers. I’m grateful for the plate of Thanksgiving leftovers that I just demolished. I’m grateful for the hours spent with my mom, sister, Granny, and my daughter preparing the food yesterday. I’m grateful for H.A.L.T.- turns out I’m hungry and tired a lot of the time😏. Im grateful to see so many of us made it through this holiday sober. Im grateful that we will all be here for those who may have slipped, when they are ready to come back. Im grateful for TS and this thread. Im grateful for the hot chocolate I will have shortly complete with frothy milk thanks to the new milk frother my mom got me. She really is the best mom. Im grateful to have her to learn from and look up to.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Good morning, gratidudes - nice to see all of your inspiring shares, especially since the holidays can be particularly tough on sobriety. I am truly grateful for so much and not sure where to begin, but, nevertheless, shebabbles…I am grateful for the Thanksgiving that went awry. Instead of a stressed out day filled with timers and red faced nervousness about when to do what, Thanksgiving as we knew it was canceled and I spent a quiet day caring for my mom with a couple of amazing visits from my brother. I am grateful for the make shift meals we shared, and the hot chocolate on the patio in blankets. I am grateful for my little-now-big boy who has said some of the most loving things to me this week that I’ve ever heard. I am grateful je’ll be with me full time for several instead of half time while his dad and sm are transitioning into a new home. I am grateful to have attempted to start to date again with a new perspective and level of self worth and love. My red flag meter is strong and active! I am so grateful for Eric reaching out and grateful to see all of you lovely sober people. I am so grateful to have had a sober Thanksgiving and intend to stay that way one day at a time.

Good morning to all of you!
I’m grateful for all that I’ve been learning since I launched this little project for myself. Sobriety is not as hard as I thought it would be because I’ve learned so many strategies to help me cope. I’ve learned them from reading books and websites and from reading so many posts. I’m truly grateful to keep adding strategies to my toolbox.
I’m grateful to be in a time in my life when I can focus on this without too much other stress. Over the past 30 years I’ve always been in a tougher spot than I am now. I’m grateful for the peaceful chapter I have now and the time to work on this.
I’m grateful also to be aware that this chapter won’t last forever. I need to prepare myself and my sobriety for the tougher times that will undoubtedly happen again. This is why I’m learning and saving up information and strategies. When life throws me lemons, I want to be ready to make lemonade and be able to continue to leave the booze alone.
I’m grateful to have a warm and safe and loving home.
I wish you all peace and health today. Today is day 30 for me and I never would have made it here without the support of friends and family, both in person and in this community.
Have a great day!

I’m grateful to God please help lovingly guide me through another day while remaining clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery and all the challenges and blessings it brings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for music and exercise. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for group hugs. I’m grateful for cheap coffee. I’m grateful I have been sleeping well. I’m grateful that its time to crank up the shower radio and dance and sing while cleaning up for work. I’m grateful to be nervous for a busy shift, apparently Saturdays are crazy busy, which they should be. I’m grateful for the principles and tools I have learned in recovery and thst I can apply them, they do work.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
p.p.s. congrats on your milestones

I’m grateful I slept in til 7:30 
I guess I needed it.
I’m grateful to be warm.
I’m grateful for the love and support here at TS and especially this thread.
I’m grateful when I read about milestones. Because every fucken day we’re sober is a milestone. I know for me it is.
I’m grateful we went out to lunch yesterday so I still got that turkey sandwich waiting for me.
I’m grateful when I weighed in yesterday I didn’t gain any weight.
I’m grateful for all the little things in my life that I have and all my blessings. I’m truly blessed.
I’m grateful the rodent guy came yesterday and he went over the whole house and crawl space and didn’t see any activity and all the work they did last year still looks good. And he didn’t see any water under my house. Just normal dampness.
I’m grateful for the zoom call with my 2 girls yesterday. And grateful my son didn’t participate because he had a horrible headache. I mean I’m grateful for the decision he made and that he didn’t try to tough it out. Fuck headaches!!
I’m grateful on the call I learned something about my daughter and her chronic pain and how sensitive she is about it and how I might have been insensitive to it. I didn’t think I was. Neither did my wife. Even my wife said of all the people I would be the least insensitive to her pain. I’m grateful I know there is no right or wrong and all I can do is be more sensitive to her pain. Fuck chronic pain. I’m grateful for my daughter and all she teaches me. And calls me out. Especially when I clammed up and wasn’t talking. She said, “Dad you still think about that?” “We’re good.”
I’m grateful I came up with more gratitude because I didn’t really have much this morning and I feel better putting out here what I put out here.
I’m grateful I don’t have to cook tonight.
Silent gratitude isn’t very much to anyone.
