Good morning all,
Iām grateful to read everyoneās lists and adopt so many of the things there into ā things I am also grateful forā. Iām grateful for this thread, especially when I am having a hard time feeling grateful 
. Gotta shake that shit off lol! Life is so much better than it was before, even on off days. Iām grateful that I got all my house chores and some work stuff done, and I can feel totally free of those responsibilities today. Iām grateful that even if the plans for today fall through, I will be able to find something else, or nothing else to do, and that is ok. I know I wonāt be drinking about it. Iām grateful for all of you and I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Very grateful for my coffee this morning, for the calming energy that flows through my home, for the white curl of smoke that swirls from my incense every morning. I am grateful for muscle memory and that every time I light a stick of incense it pulls me right back to smoking a bowl of meth. Over 16 years later that muscle memory and those neuropathways are still there. I am grateful for those āsafeā reminders of how strong behaviors become conditioned in us. I am grateful for the healthy food that is in my fridge and the courage that I have found to make new dishes and eat some. I am grateful that I am just doing this, I am not following a plan. That I take everyday as a new one and tackle it for what it is. Gratitude helps me, I am grateful that my heart still beats, that my organs still work pretty well and that I have any hair left at all. I am grateful that my body is strong and fights against everything that I have done to it, my body wants me to thrive and I am happy to finally be in a place where I am going to try to help that happen.

Grateful for my 29th day and so grateful for not being hungover or drunk. I went through my whole day without an urge, and when I woke up I actually forgot I was (am) a drunk. So Iām grateful that I know Iām a drunk and am working towards new habits. Grateful Iāve found kumbachu to use as my ritual drink when I need that hand to mouth action, and itās great for my colon! So grateful that for today Iām living my life sober and things havenāt fallen apart, which I always imagined would happen if I admitted I was out of control, drinking or otherwise. Life is still life but things are actually getting better, ODAAT.

Grateful I stumbled on this video when apparently I needed it. Ironic life of mine, grateful for that too. Grateful Iām accountable, because if I wasnāt man I donāt even know. Grateful for the moment of now. I did nothing really to earn it. Itās genuine just a giftā¦ Grateful that I can be grateful no matter what, not for everything that happens, but grateful in the moment of now at least. Grateful I worked out, had a healthy dinner, heard from my dad, grateful for a roof over my head, clothes, people that tolerate me enough to help meā¦ Grateful for this forum, you peeps and this thread.

Today I am grateful for the rest and rejuvenation of the weekend allowing for a great fresh start to the week. I am grateful for a full, but nourishing morning ahead before work and the ability to walk, workout, cook and run errands before my shift without a hangover. In the past, I would make a little progress in my home, with my fitness and nutrition, finances, other projects I like to do and then the hangovers, lack of sleep, constantly racing to play catch up would impede every bit of progress Iād made. Itās maddening and insane and I lived that way for decades. I am grateful to recommit everyday to make ot easy on myself to have a great life. I am grateful for my sonās love and that of my dogs and cats. I am always incredibly inspired by and grateful for the gratidudes and the amazing souls of TS. Letās make today special.
Oh and @pinkcloud - I am such a fan of the rowing machine too. So cool that you got one!!!

Good evening, all.
Today Iām grateful to be sober and clear headed. No hangover and no anxiety is a huge win for me.
Grateful for a job that I enjoy (mostly), and for the life that it enables me/us to have.
Grateful that the thoughts which passed through my head today telling me that I can have a drink if I like because I am my own boss disappeared as quickly as they arrived and came nowhere close to overcoming the feelings of gratitude to be sober that I carry everywhere with me.
Grateful that I feel so comfortable in this group that I can post that last paragraph/sentence without worrying too much about whether it needs punctuation, or not.
Grateful for the walk home from work with a good friend today. It took about an hour and 45 minutes in all, and I didnāt contribute much to the conversation because my head was elsewhere, but he carried the conversation nicely for me. Grateful for the jungle that we walked through and the fact that my 50 year old body can still manage the trek.
Grateful for all of your thoughtful and thought-provoking posts. Love this thread.
Have a great day, all.

Good morning all,
Today Iām grateful that my drive to work will let me see the sunrise. Iām grateful that I have a job that pays the bills and allows for some fun things also. Iām grateful that I slept pretty good, and woke up a little early so I had time for coffee in my rocking chair. Iām grateful that there will be time today for some exercise. Iām grateful to have realized how important exercise is to my mood and mental health. Iām grateful for the long weekend I had, and more grateful that not one second was wasted on alcohol.
Everyone have a wonderful day
