Wow, I’ve been away for a while. It doesn’t feel that long for me because I was very very busy. So today I’m grateful I am here
I’m grateful for all the furniture that arrived in the new house, for the fixed heating (don’t ask WTF professionals can assemble the wrong way ), for first successful steps toward getting internet access there (treasure hunting for a cable that was capped years ago when the builing pit was ditched).
I’m grateful for the delicious winterfood season I love so much . I’m grateful I love cooking.
Grateful me & husband had a good time these days, makes me smile and feel loved.
Grateful for every day I still have my mum. She is over 91 and life often is exhausting for her she says and I understand that.
Grateful for my cats. Grateful for outfreaking furmonsters - the youngsters are 2 1/2 now, best age for adventure, mischief and roughhousing from dusk till dawn
Grateful to be sober!
I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you. I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober just for today. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for my recovery and all the blessings and challenges it provides. I’m grateful to see snow on the ground outside, which is about right for December in Canada. I’m grateful I have today off, gonna enjoy some slowing down and try to find an in person meeting, it isn’t one of my usual meeting days so hope I can find one. I’m grateful that I can bundle up, put on some music and enjoy a winter walk while getting some errands done.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
edit… minus three it says, these masks help keep my face warm hah

Today I am grateful for being present enough to get a lot of stuff I’ve put off done in the midst of also caring for a 9yo & high intensity 5 year old with RSV for the the last week (choosing the past week to cold turkey quit was a little masochistic but they weren’t sick my first day, to be fair lol)
And especially grateful for my husband speaking the words nobody has to give a sh!t if the clothes are folded right now cause fr I’m tired from sleeping terribly last night and still really trying to be grateful every day regardless. Even when I’m a tired grump lol
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I am home with this weather.
I am about to start a workout so I am grateful.
I am grateful the test this morning is done. Now waiting for the results another 2 weeks. But I am very grateful that I have an appointment before Christmas.
I am grateful we have a new government so smoothly and quickly. We’ll see. Sorry guys no Merkel anymore almost half my life.

I’m trying to be more grateful even when it feels too hard.
I’m grateful for my cats. They are good company.
I’m grateful for coffee first thing in the morning.

I’m grateful for this community. I feel less alone.
I’m grateful for my job. Not only to I have one, but I actually like it.
I’m grateful for music.
So grateful for this 122nd morning sober. I thought my heart would beat irregularly for the rest of my life from alcohol abuse, but with medication and sobriety my heart keeps a perfect rhythm now. It doesn’t flutter in my chest, beat really hard when I try to sleep or in the mornings when I wake. I’m grateful that my feet are no longer tingling and numb, especially when laying down. I never thought my neuropathy would go away but I realized this morning I just got out of bed and didn’t have to wake my feet up first. I’m so grateful today that my body is healing and I’m alive and sober.
I’m grateful for my husband. Yesterday was the 42nd anniversary of our first date. We celebrate this anniversary every year as much as our wedding anniversary. We usually go do a weekend at this quiet B&B that’s in a rural winery in beautiful Northern MI as celebration. But since I’m sober we didn’t go and he didn’t complain even a little
I’m grateful for the first sober anniversary in many, many years.
I’m grateful my hair is growing back and looking better.
I’m grateful for a post on here about SAD that helped me realize I need to work at fighting mine harder.
Today is day eight of the opener.
My inner alcoholic has every valid reason to have a drink, snort Oxys and smoke meth, or snort adderal it can possibly think of. Yet, I choose recovery.
I am so fucking grateful!
I feel like I got ran over by a freight train, got jumped by all of the top UFC fighters, and fell off a cliff., yet I feel so alive.
My self esteem was at an all time low when I got here. I was absolutely disgusted with myself.
Today my self esteem, self worth, and self respect are at an all time high! I’m so proud of myself today. I am awesome!
I am grateful!
I want to catch up on memes, but this thread is more important to me right now. I’m grateful to be here. Clean and sober!
I check in every chance I get. It keeps me focused. It helps me sooooo much!
I’m feeling emotional this morning. Tears are welling up in my eyes. It’s a good thing. I use to run from my emotions. Numb them, block them, run, hide!
It feels so amazing to feel. Feel everything! The joy, the pain, all of it! I am grateful!
I love you guys/gals! Thank you for being here!
A storm is coming in a few days. It’s looking like a day off is coming! Until then, keep grinding!
Today I’m grateful for a decent night’s rest and waking naturally before my partner’s alarm (even if he set it a half hour late). That’s my favorite. I’m grateful I shifted my expectations for how my day was going yesterday, better said, I had flexible expectations and adapted what I was doing based on my energy level and other needs. I’m grateful that this shows a lot of hard work on my thought processes is working and I’m making progress. I’m grateful for less wind yesterday and today, which makes walks with Miss Lupe much more pleasant even when it’s frigid out. I’m grateful that I’m texting with my Mami this morning and making plans for her visit. I’m grateful that I realized my partner needs loving attention as much as I do and that I have been slacking in that area and plan on doing better. I mean, we both deserve to hear that our butt is cute, right? I’m grateful my guy shows his love for me even when I am not at my best and I never doubt his love.
I am grateful that today is another day with a to do list and that I do not feel stressed by that, I’ll take it a task at a time.
Truth. It’s the essence of being human. I’m glad you’ve joined this thread regularly - you bring some real visceral energy and gratitude that is inspiring.
I’m grateful I was just reminded, I’m just one drink away from a drunk.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful to be up too early sitting in the pitch black with only the fireplace and iPad light and the heater is off and it is so quiet and lovely.
I’m grateful I love my mornings.
I’m grateful for music.
I’m grateful for the Beatles.
I’m grateful for Beatles remixes.
I’m grateful for “Across The Universe” and “Love.”
I’m grateful for the exciting punctuation music in the Handmaids Tail.
I’m grateful for the cold winter weather coming on and that we will get some snow. And especially grateful that I’ll be going to Cali and getting the fuck outta here
But, I am grateful my wife will to get to see snow before we leave.
I’m grateful how each time it snows she’s like a little kid seeing her first snow. They don’t get much snow in Houston where she grew up.
I’m grateful someone started that little breathing meditation challenge.
I’m grateful for Insight Timer.
I’m grateful for being open minded because I thought I already had a good meditation app. Why on earth would I try another one?

I’m grateful for this place. My recovery is still on track because of this place. Without this place I would have been lost a long long time ago. I’m grateful to Robin for starting and maintaining TalkingSober. And I’m grateful for all the folks that are here and make this place to what it is. For me this place is the difference between failure and success. The difference between life and death. No exaggeration and no joke. Forever grateful. Made some real friends here and very grateful for that. Love.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful that dinner is cooking in the oven and I didn’t have to make it! I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful I have a job, and I’m not facing some of the pandemonium and uproar that is occurring with some other teams where I work. I don’t have to worry about making enough hours to pay my bills. I’m grateful for comfy pajamas and fuzzy socks.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I’m grateful for my life
I’m grateful for walks
I’m grateful for kids Christmas movies
I’m grateful for my friends
I’m grateful for the yummy pasta I had for dinner

I’m grateful that I am strong
I’m grateful that I’m learning from my mistakes
I’m grateful for all of you
I’m grateful for my family
I’m grateful that I’m imperfect
I’m grateful for my optimism
I’m grateful to be here and present
I’m grateful I didn’t drink for another day
