Good morning gentlemen hat tip and TS world.
I’m grateful it is the weekend. I’m grateful I slept long and soundly last night. I’m grateful I don’t think I need alcohol to help me sleep anymore, hopefully my husband will see that too someday. I’m grateful that today will be an easygoing day- some chores around the house, getting ready to go away for a few days tomorrow. I’m grateful that my son still got excited at the prospect of going to a movie with me😊. I have zero interest in his chosen movie, but I’d happily watch paint dry to get to hang out with him haha! I’m grateful for the beautiful weather this morning, and the sound of small airplane’s flying around the farmland.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Thank you for these 6 sober days. Thank you for my amazing kids and that I’ve had more energy to do so many fun things with them this weekend. Thank you for my patience and my calm and my ability to close my eyes and breathe when I start to get overwhelmed. Thank you that I am not counting down till bedtime so I can guzzle a bottle of wine. Thank you for the willpower to do everything I could today. Thank you that I’m finding my joy in living again. Looking forward to my bed and a new day of possibilities tomorrow, a full week of sober.

I am grateful for:
- A day free of pain
- Waking up sober
- A beautiful partly cloudy fall day that eased up on humidity over the day
- My husband building me a beautiful compost bin that matches my deck
- My collection of houseplants that has grown in variety as the gardening season winds down
- How sweet my husband looks napping on the couch
- Over a year working hard on recovery, staying mostly sober during that entire year, and my renewed commitment to continuous sobriety these last few months, one day at a time.
Always grateful for you all

Today I am grateful to have some time today to say…hmm…what should I do next, now that I am off work and not starting dinner for a bit. That feeling does not come often and I am so grateful when it arrives. I am grateful to have food in the fridge and gas in the cars and that I know I will get a great night of sober sleep tonight. I am grateful for the calm and easy going feeling we have at home. I, too, looked up “eat the frog” and when I try to put off cleaning off my porch tomorrow, I’ll be eating the frog instead. Grateful for that!

Grateful being sober.
Grateful as I found my MTB with a flat tire yesterday I switched to my gravel bike 
I am grateful and happy that for once it was the front tire which still made me explode last night as I was unable to put the tire back on. Too much tension. Have done it idk how many times in my life.
Grateful I set my boundaries to my mother. Guilt over resentment. And now I feel better.
Grateful the cats are doing good and as it is still warm they can be on the balcony for extended time.
Edit : massive cursing and force did the job with the tire. Need to lie down now.

This morning I’m grateful for a good night’s sleep. For my three lovely cats to wake me up. For this one special annoying cat scratching the wall of the litter box instead of burrowing her poop! Grateful I will miss them for the next week because we’re off on vacation. Grateful I have one week pause from everything: chores, office, cats. I truly need it.
Grateful for the smell of coffee. For the foresight to do all laundry in advance so I will return to a well-stocked wardrobe 
Grateful for the church bell ringing, i love the sound.
Grateful we go by car so I can take tons of books with me.
Grateful for vacation

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for a warm Daisy purring on my lap.
I’m grateful to read the shares of some of the new people on here. Whether it be gratitude or struggles or complaining about how hard it is to be sober at the beginning. It helps me to stay sober now. And it reminds me I just need to be sober today. Thank you for sharing and reaching out.
I’m grateful how much fun Kelly and I had getting pumpkins and doing a little Halloween decorating and even more grateful I’m still learning shit about our relationship. You’d think I know everything after 38 years. Example? Sure. I like to do things spontaneously. Let’s get pumpkins after lunch. When her answer is I don’t want to. It’s not fucking personal! When do you want to get pumpkins? And the answer is. How about after lunch on Friday? We had a great time Friday. I don’t know. Writing this sounds silly and stupid. But with alcohol involved I would have booze feelings of resentment that “you never want to do anything.” You know the “poor me.” And my boozy feelings would have gotten hurt. Fuck boozy feelings.
I’m grateful for my own calm non reactive feelings.
I’m grateful for all my blessings.
I’m grateful my daughter is coming in Thursday.
I’m grateful I can continue to rest my sore back. Fuck back pain 
I’m grateful for my kids and spouses, and their unpredictable sense of humor. We got some of the funniest text threads going at the most unexpected times.
I’m grateful the matching cashmere hoodie I ordered for my daughter showed up in time. She’s always cold like her dad and stealing my hoodies. I hope she likes it.
I’m so fucking grateful I get to see my kids at different times this month. It’s been so long.
Fuck Covid.
Sorry for all the fucks. Hopefully I’ve run out. Ya like that’s gonna happen 
Grateful for you all.
What does not come from the heart does not reach the heart. What comes from personal experience and a sincere desire to help the other person reaches the heart.
Not sure where I found this. But it sounds good, don’t it?

I woke up early today, and for the first few seconds I was wondering how much I drank yesterday and if I was going to lose today. I’m grateful it didn’t take too long for the brain fog to lift. I’m very thankful to have this 52nd day of sobriety.
The past few days have been a bit difficult, and I found myself mindlessly opening the liquor cabinet at one point. I’m grateful that it now houses my homemade vanilla jars, so I just gave them all a good shake and was like “Snap out of it, Carolyn.”
I’m grateful for homemade, sugar-free hot chocolate! I don’t drink coffee, which is odd because nearly everyone I know does. But I love hot chocolate on these crisp, cool autumn mornings, curled up with a good book and a fire in the hearth. It’s gonna be a good day.
I’m so grateful for all of your shares… the painful, the joyful, and the simple “I’m doing ok” ones. Sometimes, I find myself reading for hours! I want each of you to know that even when you don’t feel like you’re being seen or heard, someone is paying attention, and you’re an inspiration to them.

I’m grateful that I’m about to have fish and chips from chippy.
And finally I’m grateful that I’m sober for one day and counting

I’m grateful for my spontaneous little getaway! Grateful that I had so much fresh air and walking with the dog girl, that we fell asleep on Fri night in the quirky hotel with the gratitude thread open. Such a good sleep. Grateful for the lovely walk and loon on the lake on Saturday morning, for the safe drive back home and all the beauty fall colors to look at. For the time to think on things and also just to be…
Grateful to be back in my wee homey home. Grateful for the slow morning I had, the day ahead.
Grateful I can sit with feelings of loss and just feel them, now. How being grateful for people and things that once were changes the loss, somehow - makes it sting less. Yes, there’s loss, but all’s not gone, you know? While there’s been a lot of change, damn I have a lot to be grateful for!
Grateful for this thread and all you Gratidudes, warming my heart and making me chuckle (a bit of chortling too!).
I’m grateful for another day.

So thankful I did my first social without booze since… I was pregnant 3 years ago probably? And I’m thankful I had a great time, laughed my head off and I didn’t miss it. I’m thankful for friends who didn’t even notice I wasn’t drinking because they love me for me. Thankful for my husband, even though we got a little stressed and cranky at each other earlier in the day as the kids were all going bonkers and we were trying to get everything ready, we still always try to be kind and we always talk it out until we feel better. Thankful that even though I was pouring drinks for everyone, I wasn’t tempted. I did miss the wine with my meal if I’m honest, as I really like the taste, but I know my addiction and it would be a slippery slope. I’m thankful for finding some delicious soft drinks that I enjoyed. Thankful for a full week now of making the right choices each day. So thankful for this community, I couldn’t have done it without you.
