Good morning Callie. Have a sober wonderful day off. 
or as good as you can.
I’m grateful for the sound of the rain this morning and the clouds and darkness of the sky and my morning with my Christmas decorations lit up in the dark condo. I’m grateful I, no we, got our Christmas decorations up yesterday in our tiny little condo.
I’m grateful I remembered to ask Kelly to help me with the Christmas decorations and when she wanted to do it. I’m grateful I chilled as long as I could while she napped when she said she was going to help. I’m grateful I left some for her to do with me and it was fun. I’m grateful I can recognize when I’m going to be the “Bull in the China Shop,” or “The White Tornado,” and try and resentfully do every right now all at once and all by myself. I’m grateful at almost 62 I’m learning this stuff. It’s never too late.
I’m grateful when I practice something I learned a long time ago, but I often forget to use it. People, especially spouses, even after 38 years, don’t know what I want to do 
if I don’t tell them what I want to do. I’m having a hard time expressing here…. But I’m grateful when I communicate my needs to whoever. Like, shouldn’t they already know ?
I don’t like to do that. I like to feel sufficient and that I. Don’t. Need. Especially help.
I’m grateful we are all settled in here in Santa Monica and I’m taking it easy and listening to my body, except when it wants Gelato from the Ivy On The Shore 
.
I’m grateful for rest and not pounding the pavement walking excessively all over town. I just cannot do that anymore.
I’m grateful my heart is still in sinus rhythm, I hope. My last visit here wasn’t so much fun. I’m grateful I’ll get to see my cardiologist again in January and my dentist.
I’m grateful my gratitude list is done. Bet you are too 
A little something from my reading from Hazeldon Betty Ford this morning.
We have tried in all manner of ways to help ourselves. But not until we begin to help other people do we get full relief. It is an axiom that the A.A. program has to be given away in order to be kept.
We get and then we give. If we do not give, we do not keep
I’m grateful to God please help guide me through the day while remaining 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 clean warm blankets that combined with the white noise from my fan help me sleep extra long. I’m grateful for warm showers. I’m grateful a gentleman from AA invited me for coffee. I’m grateful for music and exercise.
God bless you all.

p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!
A first sober date! That’s very exciting! Good for you!
Kinda nervous which is silly, but thank you 
Caroline, love your list, you go girl! 
Grateful for a peaceful happy home life and a husband who is extremely supportive 
Today I’m grateful it was a good day, a productive day, my husband and I enjoyed to spend the day together working and I’m grateful for my cozy bed where I fall asleep sober in … 3, 2, 1 … 
I’m so happy you had a good day! And with your husband! Hugs
I’m grateful you shared so vulnerably here. I think we all can relate. And it helps me understand where my husband is coming from. We don’t have that much time, 15 years this year, though, and we both could do with a lesson in communication sometimes.
Hey @Dazercat I’m grateful for these grateful mugs, mine and the inanimate one. Squeezed in a sober selfie, people and plants in recovery and gratitude pic. Also got a little christmas decorating done without becoming a “white tornado” Lol
God bless you all. &
I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.
I am grateful that after this work week I have 5 days off. Feeling a bit blah lately so it will be good to reset.
I am grateful for the sleep I was able to get.
I am grateful that I am better at managing my anxiety, but there is still a lot of room for growth there.
I am grateful to be here with everyone.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for my cheerful Christmas tree, which I left on all day. I’m grateful for my home and family. I’m grateful I don’t have to worry about how or when I will drink anymore. I’m grateful for love, forgiveness, and hope.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Wooohooo looking good .
Your plant looks great too.
I’m grateful to be home safe and sound from our crab trip and to have taken a nice nap after.
The ocean was big today. The storm brought a big swell with it. It could have moved our gear around which is never good, but it didnt.
We did have some stuck gear. The swell moves sand on the bottom and buries crab pots. Making them stuck to the bottom.
It’s dangerous pulling on those. Especially in rough seas like today. We pulled on one for a while. It was scary. Skipper gave up and decided to wait for better conditions. I was/am grateful.
We have another storm coming in. We got all our chores done yesterday after we got in. I have another day off tomorrow. I’m grateful.
Skipper looked hungover today. He made alot of money on our big grind. I made good money. He made really good money. He celebrated by drinking. He looked and acted like he was paying for that today. It made me grateful that I celebrated by practicing self care. I got good rest and felt really good this morning. I feel good now.
Yesterday was a bit triggering for me when I cashed my check. A drink sounded really good. I had three hours to kill. The bars were tempting. Whiskey was what I was craving, but I found something better. Chocolate!
I quickly forgot about the whiskey craving when I went there. Im grateful. Old habits die hard.
I had you guys/gals in my pocket. I checked in. It helps me stay strong. I am grateful!
Oh my goodness about that term your sister used. I’m so sorry. I’m glad the two of you are on the work of reconciliation.
I hope you have a peaceful day.
Good morning
I’m grateful for this coffee again!
I’m grateful to be another day closer to winter break and a vacation.
I’m grateful for the mild weather here although I’m becoming more and more alarmed about the climate change issues. I’m not surprised as I’ve read in that area for years.
I’m grateful for this 48th day of freedom from alcohol!
Peace!
I’m grateful to have clear test results from my mri.
I’m grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful for my wife and children.
I’m grateful for a warm home and food.
I’m grateful for my fur babies.
I’m grateful this place and all you lovely people
Well done on choosing chocolate over whiskey! Wouldn’t have been a difficult choice for me, I never liked Whiskey! I we’d be talking about wine, it would have been a different story… Congratulations on staying strong and sober! 
Today I am grateful I found my missing earbuds! Grateful to be able to listen to my audio book in the morning and learning to keep my heart open!
Here’s to a fabulous day, have a grateful one ya’all!
I’m grateful to God to be waking up hangover free and sober and the strength not to have had my favorite margaritas with a floater or 2 or 3 or 6 at El Cholo last night. I’m grateful I actually had no desire for that margarita last night.
I’m grateful I don’t have to stagger home drunk from all my favorite restaurants in my neighborhood.
I’m grateful I’ll be 
sober wherever I drive in LA and not have to think 
about how many I can or have had.
Aside from wet smelly dirty dogs in a little condo, I’m grateful for all the rain we had yesterday.
I’m grateful for all the fun walks in the rain with my wife and dogs yesterday. We don’t have a yard so we walk them OFTEN. And the walks to restaurants in the cold rain eating at the sidewalk cafe next to a heater enjoying the smells and the memories of childhood. I almost stomped in some puddles. I’m grateful we worked so great as a team trying to figure out the best way and timing to walk them. You got to understand it never fucking rains here! It seems like I have not been out in the rain walking around a grassy, well gardened neighborhood ever. Everyone has a beautiful garden around here. It’s always springlike. Even the most modest little garden spot around here is so cool to look at.
Im grateful for the stupid Christmas movie I watched on TV in the afternoon, Jingle All The Way. It was still fun IMO.
I’m grateful I woke her up off the couch last night to help me with the evening chores of feeding everyone and walking the dogs late at night. I’m grateful I didn’t resentfully do all that shit by myself.
I’m grateful I’m working on not being resentful toward her right now. Sometimes it’s not easy. It’s a feeling. It will change and another feeling will come my way.
I’m grateful I finally got the cojones to order another Al-Anon book. Intimacy in Alcoholic Relationships: A Collection of Al-Anon Personal Stories
I’m truthfully a bit nervous about it when it shows up. But I’m grateful I can just say that this book is to help me, not you, if anyone asks.
I’m grateful, here I fucking go again, I Get to help myself while other people get to do whatever the fuck they want. Which is bullshit!! But I can only help myself. I can’t do shit for anyone else unless they want to take some of my shit and leave the rest.
I’m grateful maybe someone on TS might get something out of my shit. And leave the rest.
I’m so fucking grateful for this sober community and all our struggles to survive all our fucked up shit.
Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance.
