Good evening all,
Iām grateful for a day at home getting chores done. Iām grateful that I donāt feel like Iāve āearnedā a beer ( or 12 letās be honest) after getting all the stuff done. Iām grateful for my kids, I really adore those little humans. Iām grateful for sunshine and flowers, and trees blowing in the breeze. Iām grateful that my Dads last scan showed that his cancerous tumors have shrunk in response to the medication he is on. Iām grateful for the phone call from him and my mom to tell me this, and for tears of happiness on both sides. Iām grateful for the love I have for my family, and that they have for me. Iām grateful that I finally realized that I am worthy of their love.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Grateful to be sober this morning and hangover free. It feels so go to not be sick and shaking first thing in the am. I have some mild anxiety to go back to work but a good meeting yesterday had some helpful tips and reminders on how to cope without alcohol. Grateful for work to go to tho as well as having weekends off that allowed me to actually get back to doing some painting on a couple cabinets at home. All in all a good weekend and grateful to be starting a new week. Happy Monday everyone!

Good afternoon, all.
Iām grateful to be clear headed today. I teach in a great school, but teaching is a full on job - particularly on the first day back after a long summer break. I donāt know how I managed back in the day because I never had a clear head.
Grateful that my classes are full of nice people and that I can still remember how to do it all.
Grateful for the brief sleep that I managed to grab last night. Hoping to be a bit more grateful tomorrow.
Grateful that my kids all enjoy school and werenāt too troubled by going back today - although my eldest daughter was starting Sixth Form and I havenāt seen her yet, so letās see. Hopefully she enjoyed it all.
Grateful to be back home with the family. Looking forward to a cup of coffee and a little chunk of chocolate - just to keep my spirits up.
Grateful that I no longer hate catching sight of myself in any kind of reflective surface. Iām not going to say that I love it, but I no longer hate it - which is a huge step forward for me. A combination of looking healthier and being more emotionally settled has worked that little miracle.
Grateful for all of your posts. I know I singled Emmās out, but they all help me so much.
Have a great day, all.

Absolutely!! The podcast is The Hubernam Lab and the guest he interviewed was Dr. Anna Lembke. The episode was named Undertanding and Treating Addiction. Dr. Huberman is a neurobiologist and professor at Stanford and in his podcasts are incredible and packed with lots of science-based tools and explains how and why our bodies work they way they do. Pretty great!

Today I am grateful for a fresh week without a hangover and without regret. I am grateful I was able to drive a boat full of teenagers and my friend undergoing cancer treatment around a lake yesterday and everyone had smiles on their faces. Could not of safely done that while drinking fore sure. I am grateful to read @Sunflower1 's news about her Dad and that we have some incredible writers in this thread. You know we will be the first in line to buy your books when they come out 
I am grateful (although it is a little bittersweet) that my son takes himself to school now and I simply wave goodbye. I am also grateful for the huge bag of clothes he gathered to donate after he went shopping with grandparents and now has some fresh clothes for school. That helps me out so much and also those recovering the donated clothes! Always grateful for gratidudes and this forum. Wishing you a peaceful day or night!!

Home from work and tired but always know that is exactly when I need to do inventory and today Iām grateful for 15 days sober. At the hight of insanity last night I said to a co-worker āand this is why I drinkā; then laughed and said, āactually, I drink cuz Iām a drunkā. Iām grateful for being able to say those words and honestly know nothing made me drink other than being a deplorable drunk, powerless over ETOH.

Grateful for another morning where my head is clear, I am anxiety and shame free.
My Drās appointment was canceled and I am grateful to have a day with no appointments, nowhere to be, no driving that I am obligated to do.
Grateful that I am on step 12 now, and I canāt wait to start my next set of steps in a step group with a few women from my area.
I am grateful that I can feel the āspiritual awakeningā people talk about in the rooms, I am on an upward trajectory and I just donāt want it to stop.
Grateful for the cooler weather, it feels like fall as I sit here in my dickies jacket and slippers drinking a morning coffee on my deck.
Always grateful for the relationhips that have strengthened in the last 19 months with my family. The spiritual principles working in my life, patience, tolerance, love, caring, kindness, open-mindedness, honesty, did I say patience and tolerance? Help me on a daily basis with my aging parents.
Grateful to have both of my parents in my life, to be able to laugh with them and play games, to climb on their laps for a cuddle (yes I still fit!) and tell them how much I love them everyday.
I am just so grateful for my life today.

Today I am grateful for:
- a very busy but productive weekend.
- a day out of the house on Saturday where I got to do a wildlife photography workshop and wildlife sculpture workshop. Funny how you have time for so many other interests when youāre not drinking.
- busy day of chores on Sunday, so the people could come and value our house today. We can get on with other things again now!
- for being there to support my step son when he was having parent trouble. Heās a good kid, but full of hormones at the moment. Just needs to know he is loved.
- for a lovely evening walk tonight with my fiancƩ. The weather is cooler now but still sunny. Perfect for walking.
- for the opportunity to go on a walk tomorrow night with a local walking group. Why not? I need to be more active and I get to meet new people.
- for my sleepy eyes and snoring cats.
Happy sober Monday everyone!

Good morning, all.
Today Iām grateful to have had a bit more sleep last night. Not loads, but enough.
Grateful to have managed a day of actual teaching yesterday, and I can still do it. I have the same fears and concerns every year. This is my 28th year.
Grateful for the hot shower that Iām about to have, and the clean clothes that Iām about to put on.
Grateful to be clear headed and ready to take on the day instead of dreading it and wondering if people can tell that Iām hungover, or that I just wonāt be able to do what Iām supposed to do. I shouldnāt lose sight of how good this feels.
Grateful for all of your shares. Some are very profound (@Its_me_Stella) and some are more day to day (mine), but they all have their place and they all help.
Have a great day, all.
