I am grateful I am sober. I hope when Christmas is over I will still be sober.
I am grateful it’s only 10 more days and Christmas will be over.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful I feel better today! I’m grateful to have decided to have an open mind and heart at work in the face of many unexpected changes. I’m grateful to have a good friend as a coworker, and although it is hard to watch her struggle with the changes, I’m grateful that I can talk with her about them and maybe we’ll work through everything alright.
I’m grateful for a warm home, plenty of food, and people in my life to love and who love me.
I’m grateful that @Dazercat can come here and share with us. I always learn a lot from your shares.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I didn’t know it at the time but;
My kids addiction blessed me in so many ways and sure has given me the strength, just for today.
The funny thing is, I know I’ve learned some good stuff. It’s putting it into practice. Over and over 
and over again. But hey. That’s what we do.
I’m grateful for you guys and appreciate y’all listening to me. It means a lot.

I’m grateful for all the fun walks in the rain with my wife and dogs yesterday.
[/quote] This to me is quite intimate and a good step/foundation in the direction you want. Grateful that you have that in your relationship to further build on. Hugs.

Did you make this yourself? If so, would you share your recipe?

I’m grateful to God thank you for lovingly guiding me through a productive 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 that I walked into my room just now, tired and sore after work and can lie down on a clean made bed in a clean room and not have to worry about much of anything other than read your wonderful gratitudes, post mine, meditate , pray and relax. I’m grateful that I started my Christmas shopping. I’m grateful for walks while listening to music. I’m grateful for the principles I try my best to follow now through the twelve steps. I’m grateful that I was left on my own to run the kitchen tonight and that when I needed help during a few minor rushes I simply asked one of the girls that works both kitchen and cashier shifts to help on the line for a few minutes. I’m grateful that I got a message about signing the lease for my new bachelor or one bedroom, not sure which I am getting. I’m grateful.
God bless you all.

I had to post today. 110 days sober. My 3rd week at my new job, that I LOVE, and this morning my first paycheck was direct deposited. That I EARNED! And enjoyed doing so! Clean and sober every day, interacting with others, dressing nice for work, and feeling motivated every day when I wake up! I love being here in this journey even on days things suck, because I have the ability to handle those days without a drink and can now truly enjoy all the good days which far outweigh the bad.

I’m grateful I started my TS day with a 4 minute meditation on the meditation thread instead of coming here first. Look at me changing things up.
I’m grateful I ended my night on a 3.5 minute meditation on the meditation thread.
I’m grateful to be trying new things.
I’m grateful unguided meditations are so hard to do at first, but then, just like that, it’s over with and I wish I was still doing it.
I’m grateful I’m still sober and hangover free.
I’m grateful I think I can walk this morning 
Fuck me!!! the top of my right foot hurts like hell and so fucking painful when I first got up. I didn’t do anything!!! To hurt it.
I’m grateful to be almost 62 and in pretty good health but it always amazes me when shit like this happens. It’s like what stupid ailment or pain can we give him today. WTF 
I’m grateful I have a soft ice pack that I can put on the top of my foot.
I’m grateful I’m going to be ok because this is bullshit!!!
I’m grateful for the deep breathing meditation I did this morning focusing on bringing good new oxygen to my foot and exhaling the bad.
I’m grateful I had Benson on my lap to help.
I’m grateful if my foot is all jacked up or something, I can count on my wife to do the next right thing.
I’m grateful we make such a good team if one of us is down.
I’m grateful I got a chiropractor appointment this morning. I hope I can get to it.
I’m grateful I think I found some Pilates Reformer classes I signed up for, I think, last night. Use the app they said. It’s easy they said.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful I got this. Yes I do!!
I’m grateful set backs don’t mean drinking anymore.
I’m grateful I don’t care how I do it, kicking and screaming, in pain or full of gratitude, I making that 2 year milestone in 18 days. Yes I am. But who’s counting?
I’m grateful when the struggle is on the gratitude list grows longer.
I’m grateful to be sitting here with my little contemporary fireplace and all our little condo decorations up. I love this time of morning this time of year.
I’m grateful for y’all.
Ya I said it again. It’s not Alzheimer’s
“Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything. This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.”

Good morning family.
Grateful to be here this morning catching up a bit.
I seem to be quite busy lately and unable to stay on top of life. I am grateful that I am clean today but I will be honest at times it has been overwhelming. I have noticed small resentments forming towards my daughter for her lack of incentive to help around the house. I am grateful for spiritual principles that I am ale to work in my life that stop me for ripping her a new asshole
When I am coming home tired late at night to her on the couch and a messy kitchen. Things could be much worse, I could have no child in my life, I could have a messy kitchen every day, I could be loaded still. I am grateful that none of those things are my reality today but I am very aware that without hard work they could be.
I am grateful that I know when to engage and when not to. Some of our homegroup members are being willful around wearing masks at meetings. I am grateful that when I asked everyone to put their masks on properly last week (I was chair) that they did and those who wanted to be difficult showed their true colors and stomped out. Not my fucking problem, go to a Zoom meeting. Grateful there is that option for people who don’t want to mask up. So grateful I don’t take shit like that on anymore, so grateful I don’t give a fuck who likes me and who doesn’t.
I am grateful that when looking through my old therapy binder from 5 years ago I came across my “Goals”.
They were
- Reduce self injuring
- Stop drinking
- Get divorced
Grateful that I have done all of those things in the last 5 years. In the first 3 years after therapy I thought that I would never stop drinking. I still saw no hope… I am grateful that my time finally came. I am grateful that I know from experience that things take time. Just because its not showing right now on the outside doesn’t mean it’s not in the works in your soul.
Grateful for that snippet of truth, it keeps my head up and my feet moving forward.
@JasonFisher I am grateful you guys are safe, the ocean was roaring that day I could hear it from my house.
@Dazercat for the record your shit isn’t shit and I get a lot out of it… I am always happy to see you doing uncomfortable things in order to grow.

I’m grateful for another day of good rest yesterday as I get ready to head out on a 36 hour good weather window.
I’m grateful I got my chores done too. I’m a tornado when I get off the boat. I was able to clean up yesterday. It will be nice to come home to an organized place after this grind.
I’m grateful I had no desire to have a drink. I’m grateful I have the ability to see the big picture about my drinking when I do have cravings, and not act upon them.
I’m grateful for recovery!

I’m grateful I just got back from walking the dogs with minimal pain in my right foot. Like I’m fine
I’m grateful if something like that is going to happen here I got my doctors here. But why does shit always have to happen to me here?
I’m grateful I can be here in Santa Monica regardless.
I’m grateful I might have to learn about gout.
Gampy might have gout
I’m grateful I’ll be calling the doctor to find out what’s up with this.
Grateful for y’all.
Obviously I’m grateful for humor.

You go girl 
Good for you.
I am so tired of worrying about how I make people feel. Like I have this incredible power over peoples feelings. Especially people I don’t even know. I bet most of the time it doesn’t really matter. But still I think about it.
