Wonderful. I miss some science in my life.

Grateful for another morning where my head is clear, I am anxiety and shame free.
My Dr’s 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 can’t 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 “spiritual awakening” people talk about in the rooms, I am on an upward trajectory and I just don’t 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 you’re 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. He’s 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 fiancé. 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!

Eric, I’ve also heard someone say “I’ve got 99 problems, but a hangover ain’t one.”

Good morning, all.
Today I’m 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 I’m about to have, and the clean clothes that I’m 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 I’m hungover, or that I just won’t be able to do what I’m supposed to do. I shouldn’t 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.

I am grateful to be sober and resting in bed watching tv.

I am grateful that I was able to get some laundry done today before I head back to work.

I am grateful for this thread, for all of your post, and for sober communities/fellowships.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful that this Monday was not so very Monday- it wasn’t bad at all. I’m grateful to have gotten a good workout in, and I seem to have found some stretches/exercises that help with whatever I have going on with my hip since I started indoor cycling. I’m grateful that I made a good dinner, and even though we didn’t all eat together tonight, I got some good chats individually with my kids. I’m grateful that my son likes his welding class at school, and is interested in looking into it as a possible career. I’m grateful for all the gratitude here- like @Singtone ( I think?) said- some very in depth and some every day stuff, but all important and helpful.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I’m grateful to have found this community.
I’m grateful to have a solid (consistent lol) roof over my head, bed to sleep in, food in the fridge.
I’m grateful that I have walked through some heavy challenges and remained clean.
I’m grateful I don’t have to plan my days around the next one.
I’m grateful for a higher power that saved my life over and over again.
And ultimately I’m grateful for all the trauma and terrible things I went through because they have made me into the person I am today… An amazing and unique individual with a story to share and hopefully the ability to help others. Love, light and kindness to all who are here. One day, hour, minute at a time… We can do this!

I’m grateful to God thank you for helping me have a productive and enjoyable day all while staying clean and sober. I’m grateful my parents came for a visit, brought me some food, gave me gifts from them and other family just randomly. I’m very grateful and lucky to have such a wonderful family, that somehow has stood by me, by the grace of God. I’m grateful that I had time to get laundry done and the house cleaned up. I’m grateful my housemate and I sat down and had some dinner. I’m grateful my friend confirmed she is coming to see me tomorrow. I’m grateful to feel nervous and excited and that’s ok, its been 20 years since we’ve seen eachother. I’m grateful that it’s almost time to pick something to watch and get some rest. I’m grateful for games on my phone like chess, euchre and candy crush to occasionally distract or have some fun. I’m grateful for all of your posts.
God bless you all. &

p.s. You are amazing and inspiring. Ya you!!

Tonight I’m grateful this monday is over! I’m grateful I can add to this list in the morning, after a delicious sleep and a cup of coffee in hand…
I’m grateful mondays don’t make me want to drink. Cuss? yep! …but not drink. Grateful for that.
And for all of you and another day.

[Dazercat]

Welcome Chilly. We’re glad you’re here.
I hope to see you around.

I am grateful for my therapist who has my best interest and my future well being at heart.
I’m grateful I am making hard choices.
I’m grateful I have a chance at love. And at truth.
I am grateful for my dogs who give me companionship and grounding.

I’m grateful for safety and security even though it doesn’t feel like I have that. I do.

I’m grateful for odaat. I’m grateful for this hardcore lesson I am learning these days. To experience the fear so that I can overcome it eventually. Hopefully.

This morning I’m grateful I’m in recovery. Grateful I don’t forget I am in recovery, also on days when I don’t feel that great. Grateful I have the chance and possibility to work on myself, to consciously work on bettering myself, work on my relationships to others. Grateful I also understand I can’t do it all at once, quite the opposite really, grateful I know and accept this is a work of a ‘the long breath’ to use a Dutch expression.
I’m grateful for One Day At A Time. Grateful for the knowledge I gained by being here for 808 consecutive days. Grateful for the people I am privileged to share this road with for 808 consecutive days. Grateful for the daily influx of new people fighting for a better live and working together by becoming sober, and working on themselves.
I’m grateful I’m in recovery because here I learned I am not alone. Grateful I learned that alone I’m not going to make it. Grateful we’re in this together. Grateful to Brian @I.cant.We.can for sharing his fight every day, showing us how it’s done. Hope you’ll have a good reunion with your friend. Grateful @ChillyToast joined us all. Grateful to you all. Love.

This morning I am grateful our power was restored early its morning after someone hit a power line. I hope those in the vehicle are ok. I am grateful for a morning walk to come and that my son is up and ready to head to school soon. I am grateful for his increased motivation this year over last (probably also have his girlfriend to thank for that). I am grateful for the change of weekend plans that may come today which will be preferable to me and relieve a little stress. I am grateful for the 2 books I finished yesterday- one that helped me learn even more about addiction and a sober life, and the other that simply provided laughter amd relatability. I am so grateful for TS and you all. Each and every word is important.

Welcome @ChillyToast!! Happy you found us!!!
