Iām grateful Franzi just did her gratitude list so the thread is right at the top. Good morning, afternoon, evening Franzi. 
Iām grateful Iām sober.
Iām grateful Iām hangover free.
Iām grateful for inspiring AA Speakers. Could be my second best tool in my tool box after gratitude.
Iām still listening to Mark Houston and I feel like the woman in the parable of the woman and the lost coin. Luke 15:8-9
Iām grateful for Earnie Larson my favorite AA Speaker and John McAndrew, the musician that played with him, that I met at family week a long time ago at my kids rehab. His message still helps me today.
Iām grateful Benson is on my lap even though he is crushing my femoral vein.
Iām grateful for the rhythmic snoring of Minnie to the left of me and Daisy is caterwauling to the right of me about something.
Iām grateful I hear a disturbance in the force which means I hear my wife waking up. (Not that she wakes up like a bear or anything but my chair is right next to our bedroom. I can hear everything)
Where was I 
. Which means we can get this beautiful day going. Itās the only one God has given us today.
Iām very grateful at how I look at things now that Iām sober with a good chunk of days under my belt. Sometimes. Actually a lot of times Iām terrified at whatās going on in the US still 
and in the world. But what can I do? Iām just one dot out of a bizillion. I got to let Go and let God. And do my best. I donāt have to do better than that.
Iām grateful I can ramble on here.
I grateful for yāall.
Teachers are getting first billing today, firefighters, first responders and healthcare workers Iām so grateful for yāall.
Iām grateful for everyone in this fight for our lives.
When I reach to help others, I cannot help feeling better about myself.

Iām grateful we got a new writer here @Bootz
M 
you gonna have to kick up your game here. This gratitude thread is really getting interesting. And fun.
But I got to be honest Bootz This wine snob misses those pretentious wine tasting notes. They were a huge part of my life. But I am happy to have finally broke up with them. And so grateful I donāt have the crushing hangover 
those notes beat in my head and the stained teeth 
And congratulations to Jules on your 2 weeks. Keep up the great work. @beachmouse
Nice win last night Margaret

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

Iām grateful itās early on a sunday night and Iām one post away from tucking in! Iām grateful I donāt try to make the weekends last longer by uncorking another bottle. Never worked, but - gak - did I tryā¦
Iām grateful for in-class yoga today. Cases are on the rise here, so that may change, but Iām grateful Iām better at catching myself when I time travel too far into the future. At least Iām thinking about yoga and not trying to calculate how much wine I should stockpile for another lockdownā¦ (Again, gak.)
Iām grateful @Sunflowerās Dad has healthier days ahead! And that @SoberWalker isnāt sick with covid (get better soon, friend!). Iām grateful for all the gratitroops. Iām grateful I had a chance to read other threads and see @Charlie_C 's beauty granddaughter. Thatās one grateful looking set of grandparentsā¦!
Iām grateful today for the basics: my home, the food in my frig, clothing and shoes, the smiles from strangers (making the most while our masks are off!), even grateful for my first world problems - most of which arenāt problems at allā¦
Iām grateful for another day.

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.

Iām grateful for the strength that AA speakers give me and their thought provoking message.
Iām grateful this is the real me.

Iām grateful for my wife and kids and their supportive spouses and my pets and house and home.
Iām grateful my son and his wife have acclimated their new boxer puppy Dash to be with the old man Bogey without incidents. Theyāve worked really hard all week and Iāve loved all the pics and videos.
