This morning Iām grateful I woke up very early (heading to the bathroom urgently) and then, instead of continue sleeping, I cuddled cats for at least an hour, listened to my snorring husband, played some nice online game I like and thought about life. Now Iām grateful for the smell of coffee and will join husband and cats in the kitchen

Itās the dreaded weekend, but I donāt dread it now. Thankful Iām getting stronger. Last Sunday when I decided to stop pouring poison into my body every night, I kept thinking, āwhat am I going to do about Friday & Saturday night? Maybe I could just have a few drinks then.ā But now Iām here and Iām actually excited at the prospect of enjoying the weekend with a clear head. Thankful I wonāt have a hangover tomorrow and Iāll actually have energy for everyone and I will get things done. Grateful that some favourite friends are coming over on Sunday and one of them never drinks, so Iāll have a sober buddy and support (even though Iām sure some will assume Iām pregnant again as thatās the only time I refused drinks in the past, but in time they will get used to it. And Iām done on that front for sure! 
)
Thankful for my body that keeps going despite the way Iāve treated her.
And I know a lot of my strength comes from reading your posts and knowing Iām not alone in this, so again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, Iām so thankful for you all. Thank you for the support. It isnāt always easy, Iāve had some stressful situations this week and Iāve eaten too many sweets, but in time Iām sure thatāll get better. Hope everyone has a great one.

Iām grateful when God does it again!! All I can think about is my back pain this morning. And how great of a day I had Wednesday. And Thursday my back started hurting and today Iām going to be grateful I donāt have to do fuck all, because my back hurts. Iām grateful I can lie around all day with ice and heat. Iām grateful I could still get up and do the cat and dog chores. And then God puts the jftna.org reading, my last devotional of the morning right there exactly where I need it. And itās all about pain. Physical and emotional. Iām grateful I can deal with my physical pain. Without self medicating. And that I donāt have emotional pain. And Iāll eventually probably get depressed about it later today. And you know what? Thatās ok. Itās a fucking feeling!! I will feel it and then get over it.
Disclaimer: ādepression is ājustā and emotional feeling for me.ā I know there is real debilitating depression out there that does not just come and go like when I get depressed. And Iām grateful I donāt have that kind of depression.
Just for today: I will accept pain as a necessary part of life. I know that whatever level I feel pain, I can also feel joy.
Iām grateful Iāll be snuggling most of the day with one cat or another and Benson. As they all take turns with daddy laid up in bed. Iām not grateful, but I think itās a little bit funny all six pets will eventually be in the bedroom with me and Kelly will be griping about being all alone in the living room 
But sheāll have her wine. Iāll take cats and dogs any day.
Iām grateful Kelly doesnāt have to be on edge all day waiting for 5pm to check her jury duty status.
Iām grateful for flannel sheets.
Iām grateful Maverick cuddled up early with me this morning right in the crook of my left arm pit as usual lately. And not right on my neck and chin.
Iām grateful our central heat came on this morning for the first time and that itās working.
Iām grateful for my gratitude practice and on mornings like today when I think I have none because of my pain. I probably wrote a fucking book here. And it sure helps me feel better. Sorry guys. Yāall could have scrolled on by. And if ya did. Thatās ok 
Grateful for yāall.
Fuck back pain

Missed some days.
Still, I am grateful being sober.
Today was the introduction to the training of addiction counsellor. I think I made a good choice this time.
Grateful I have many things I need. I can take care of myself.
Happy I got contacted for a new project where people guide others doing things I life like grocery shopping, doing administrative tasks and such things. Iāll see if I can get involved there.
Grateful I get everything going for the surgery. Iāll be in my third soberversity. 
Have an appointment with the anaesthesiologist on Monday. Bit nervous but taking action helps.
Happy that most of the days I stick to my morning ritual although my mind is spinning around during meditation. Iāll keep going. The continuing yoga is good.
Grateful for the sunny Saturday we are going to have tomorrow.
Grateful I have enough. Grateful for this thread.

Today Iām grateful for H.A.L.T.
It was a weird day, with lots of cat fun and delicious food. Also with a more than 2 spoon full amount of anger and frustration. I was annoyed in early evening, craving beer and cigartetts and a nice phonecall with some friend.
fact check: hungry? yes. angry? yes. lonely? a bit. tired? as fuck.
solution: order delicious food, get some chores done while waiting for it, empty a bottle sparkling water whilst, take the food on the sofa and relax. afterwards all cravings were gone and Iām in bed now, sober and happy. Good night folks, everything passes

Today Iām grateful for support from people who understand chronic pain. It might not be the same as mine, but there are some similarities in experience that help me feel less alone. Iām grateful I texted with my aunt who has experienced migraines and got more info on how sheās gotten treatment over the years. Iām grateful that Iām feeling better and was able to eat some soup today. Iām grateful my husband is patient and caring when Iām having a pain episode. Iām grateful he and I talked about sobriety and recovery after not really talking about it for a while and he seems to be on board with supporting me a bit more. The slippery slope applies to both of us and Iām grateful he will stop offering me tastes of his drinks (againā¦). Iām grateful that my pooch Lupe made it to 10 years old and she is super healthy and still plays like a puppy, though thankfully for shorter amounts of time! Iām grateful for you all

I am grateful for a sober Friday, staying sober through a breakup earlier in the week, my pain, my happiness, trusting myself to know what is right for me, my dog rue, 8am swims instead of hangovers.

Grateful being sober.
Grateful for the weekend. Taking it easy, followed some advice I learned this morning : eat the frog. So I called my mom telling her that visiting me in November is not ideal for me and she could come after Christmas.
Grateful for the sentence I read in quit like a woman and which helps me a lot: feeling guilty over resentment.
Have a good Saturday

I am grateful that I wake up early and have a couple of hours to myself. Time to read your posts on TS, sip my coffee and have my pooch sitting in the recliner at my side. Grateful I havenāt had a hangover in over 90 days. Grateful I have enough compassion left to let my wife find her own way. Hopefully she sees the light before it totally destroys her/us. Grateful I can separate myself from it instead of playing an active role and succumbing to the misery of alcohol addiction. I watch her and wonder why she canāt see what it is doing. I liked an earlier post someone wrote about being thankful they donāt have to rush around getting everything done in the morning to make time for drinking. That made me laugh because I used to and my wife still does. Grateful the gym opens up soon and I can head there and have a good workout. Grateful for all your posts! @anon74766472 Love the saying āeat the frogā but I had to look up the meaningā¦LOL .I donāt post as much lately (probably a good thing because I tend to ramble onā¦) but I do enjoy reading them. Have a great day everyone and stay sober ODAAT!

Iām grateful to God for another hangover free sober morning and TS to help me stay on my path of sobriety.
Iām grateful for another football weekend and since my back still hurts, but less worse, Iām pretty sure I know what Iāll be doing all weekend.
Iām grateful for Instacart and the regular delivery people seem to be grateful to make the extra cash shopping for us.
Iām grateful for my sweet old dog Minnie checking on me every morning before she jumps up on the couch and she seems to be my cooking buddy these days. And Iām grateful for the needy fucker Benson plastered on my lap.
Iām grateful for cats. Never a dull moment especially with 4 of them. Iām grateful for cat wiggle butts before the zoomie to nowhere.
Iām grateful to see and read how hard some people work on their recovery. It really inspires me to stay sober. You all are the warriors that keep this place going. I admire the hell out of you. You know who you are. You might have 3 days, or 1 or 2, months or a couple of years. Youāre worth it. Keep up the good fight. Our lives depend on it.
Good morning Brianās face. Nice timing.
Inhale love
Exhale gratitude
No idea who said it.
