I received this coin tonight at my home group’s birthday meeting. On this (09/27/17) day 4 years ago I made a decision to stop using and drinking and be willing to do whatever it takes to stay clean and sober. I am humbly grateful to Alcoholics Anonymous and Talking Sober, including the multitude of beautiful people here in this community that has played a big part in my sobriety. One day at a time my friends. Much love and respect to all.

Oh man! So much to celebrate on here!
I’m grateful for all the people I looked up to when I first joined, and still look up to now, who just keep leading by example… for @Edmund and his 4 years! @Hotic’s 1000 days, and @ChicagoT’s 1033 i think? And @Mno’s kicking nicotine 6 years ago which got him to where he is today…
I’m grateful for all of your posts and words that made me realize (like what @Dolse71 was saying) that we aren’t that different, that you had a humble day one too. I’m grateful you shared your milestones today! Puts the wind in these sails 
I’m grateful this Monday is done. Grateful I don’t crawl into bottles after long Mondays. I’m grateful for walks through the forest, that being sober heightens my senses - it truly feels like fall has never looked so spectacular!
I’m grateful for all of you gratidudes, and always grateful for another day.

Today I am grateful for the day off and the opportunity to do some homemaking, take a long bike ride where I can make stops through the town and write, as well as go to a play tonight. I don’t really care what the play is even about, I just love theater and will watch anything and I am grateful it is available if vaccinated in masks. I am grateful to have a new appreciation for several things I have taken for granted in the past - one being having the time to cook a nice dinner nightly after work, clean up thoroughly and not have to rush through it all. After almost a year of 2nd shift from home and now switching back to 9-5, I am so grateful for that time to be creative, comprehensive and balanced with our dinners. Since working in fine dining as a college student, I have always loved food presentation, table settings and the experience of a meal. I’ve done my best but I will never take that for granted again. And now I’m not sloshing down wine or beer while cooking which truly took away from the experience as well. Thank you for listening…gonna change my handle to Shebabbles. Peace to all of you.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for this gratitude practice as I woke up in the middle of the night, as usual, to go to the bathroom and was already thinking about what to post here. 
I wish I could remember what it was. I’m grateful when I wake up in the middle of the night now, I’m not thinking about all the fuck wad politicians I fucking hate. Seriously that was no way to live.
I’m grateful for all the single clean and sober moms out there, you’re such a wonderful example to us, and you and your children are so worth it. God Bless you all I can’t imagine how hard y’all work.
I’m grateful for the Ol Burner on my lap.
I’m grateful for that third or fourth BIG slug of coffee, at just the right temperature, that goes down my gullet and really warms my soul. ( morning M 
)
I’m grateful for all the rain we got yesterday.
I’m grateful I can treat my self to a pedi this afternoon.
I’m grateful I don’t have to cook tonight.
And you know I’m grateful for you!
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Very very grateful atm and happy that the husband of a colleague just came by and put the scratching board for the girls on the wall. Might be not high enough but I’ll see that. Very grateful. (I felt some discomfort in being dependent on other people for such type of things)
Grateful I am sober.
Grateful for the calm and relaxing afternoon.
Grateful for this thread, for all the milestones we are here to witness, each day without the poison is a successful day.
Also grateful i found some person on yt do follow some exercises where I don’t get bored.

The way I see it Paul is that you spent the last year helping me stay sober and for that I thank you and will be eternally grateful. Thank you for showing me an example of how the program of Alcoholics Anonymous works in one’s life. Much love and respect my friend.

I’m grateful to God for helping me through another day 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 when my stress and anxiety were really raising today I was able to breathe and use the serenity prayer as suggested. I’m grateful I am becoming a determined and dedicated person now, that wasn’t always the case. I’m grateful my mother just messaged to tell me not to worry, her Dr. appointment went well 
and that the course I started taking today is supposed to take 8-10 hours not the two I was told, hence me feeling stupid and stressed earlier when I only got part way through it during my two hour appointment. I’m grateful I attended game night at the treatmemt center tonight and got to enjoy some chess, cribbage and poker. I’m grateful that I got to walk about ten kilometers today and had plenty of good music as company. I’m grateful that I am good and tired and can crawl into bed and watch something on Disney or Netflix. I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. You’re awesome. Ya you!!

Good evening all,
I’m grateful that even though work sucked, I didn’t let it consume me. I’m grateful that I just did some Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube today and didn’t work out- took a not from Dazercat and listened to my body. I’m grateful that I have my weird dogs that love me so much. I’m grateful that I love them so much.
I’m grateful that I was able to level myself out today- I had very broken sleep last night, woke up to an anxiety nightmare at 3 am and couldn’t go back to sleep, over-caffeinated to try to compensate, and generally felt like shit this morning. I felt hungover- headache and anxious and all the stuff that goes with it. It was really unnerving. I’m grateful that I don’t drink and so couldn’t be hungover. I’m grateful I don’t do that anymore.
I’m grateful for beautiful weather today, sunshine, flowers. I’m grateful I have this place, and you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I’m grateful I’m getting through 5 days now of intense anxiety without drinking alcohol. I did lapse on the smoking for 2 days, but grateful I lasted 30 days smoke free and am back on track.
I’m grateful I went for a hike and sun bath yesterday and made it to the spa today whilst intensively anxious. I’m grateful I’m journaling through all this pain and resolving some trauma.
I’m grateful for you all on here encouraging me and others,
Feeling exhausted but grateful I’m here still
