I am grateful to be sober and hangover free, waking up after 7.5 hrs of sleep. That doesnāt always happen so that is a blessing in itself.
I am grateful that last night at work went well despite me not wanting to go because of a coworker. I am with this person again tonight (just the 2 of us for 9 hrs) but I have decided to change my attitude. I do wonder if difficult people know they are difficult or not? This person has been given feedbackā¦ so. Anyway back to my positive attitude! 
tonight will be what I make of it!
I am grateful to have a job and a steady income that allows me to have food, clothes, transportation and a home.
I am grateful to have plans with my sister to go away for a couple of nights and stay in a hotel in a couple weeks.
I am grateful for meditation and need to get back to a regular practice.
I am grateful for all of you.

Iām grateful I made it to Texas. Sober.
Iām grateful my wife and I make a great team. We work so well together. We havenāt flown together for a long time and we just make such a good team. Trying to park. Helping each other. Luggage. Using the GPS. Never arguing. Weāve always made a great team. Through our childrenās drug addiction, mental illnesses, parents with Alzheimerās, 3 out of 4 on that one. Asshole sisters. Eh, who doesnāt have one of them? Brothers and good sisters dying. We are always fully there for each other.
Iām grateful I ordered up my own mini bar. Hers was already here. 
Iām grateful so far sheās just drinking wine. But that doesnāt matter. Iām grateful Iām not going to āborrow trouble.ā
I grateful sheās my wife and we make a great team.

Day 67 and Iām grateful for my Baptist upbringing. Grateful for my womanās group meeting tonight where we spoke to the 12th tradition that reminds us to place principles before personalities. Grateful Iām finally equally yoked w/ a partner who isnāt afraid of me, my past or our future. Grateful Iām able to be a nurse in spite of my past felony drug charges. Grateful but in a painful way that I am getting honest with myself about my role in all the shitty choices Iāve made as a consenting adult. Ugh, step eight is going to be ridiculous. Just for today Iām grateful to be going to bed sober.

Thursdays are tough, they are my end of the work week day. I am grateful it wasnāt raining when I got home so I could take a walk with my dog immediately after getting home. Stuck in my earbuds and listened to an audio book to refocus. Tomorrow will be my 2 week mark! I feel good this evening.

Iām grateful to God thank you for lovingly guiding me through another day clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for ALL my family, friends TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that I got to chair an AA meeting at the treatment center tonight, and for the good shares I heard and the little cry I got out during mine. Iām grateful that I passed today and got my certificate for food handling thatās good Canada wide for the next five years, I donāt think I have taken and passed a course like that in about 15 years. Iām grateful that my employment counsellor sent out my resume and the certificate right away, applied and apparently advocated for me with a local retirement home that is looking for a dietary aide or coach or something, hoping that just means cooking their meals. Iām grateful that I could afford to treat myself to a meal and new Edmonton Oilers hat. Iām grateful that I have another new hat coming 
and I will make a nice space for it. I think I need to stop with the hats for a while though.
Iām grateful for music, excersise, humour and laughter. Iām grateful for my mom and that she sent me an email to let me know her internet is fixed and that she loves me, so great, love you too. Iām grateful to relax with a new to me show I started yesterday Money Heist.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You are soooo amazing. Ya you!!

I am grateful to have the opportunity to be grateful. I am grateful for my mother who always believed in me my whole life even when I donāt. I am grateful that I am not alone trying to be better and that I can be open and honest with people I donāt know personally but understand my fight. I am grateful that I have a place to live food to eat a bed fan clothes shoes and tv when I didnāt have any of that two months ago. I am grateful I get the chance to go back to school at 42.
I am grateful that my ALT AST number dropped by 150 points and are normal now!!!
I am grateful for all of you. I am meeting some people in āreal lifeā but you all help me so much I canāt even explain.
Good night and good job on 24

Iām grateful today was better. Grateful I knew, last night, that I need to let go of some things a little more. Not care less, but in caring more for myself and my life, to loosen up on outcomes over which I have no control. Slowly I learn where that line crosses over - from being involved and engaged (good) to being too attached or clinging to outcomes (not so much).
Iām grateful I caught myself mentally authoring an epic-sized novel of all kinds of resentments. Stuck it in the mental shredder and borrowed from the dog girlās wisdom instead. She does a better job at dealing with conflict or other discomfort swiftly in the moment, and then lets it go. Me? (not so much).
Iām grateful for the energy and expertise and enthusiasm of my new colleagues, that they are lightening my load already. Grateful our team has shared lots of laughs lately.
Grateful for the call I had with Mom last night, her care workers dialing me. Grateful I can accept the sadness that comes with bearing witness to her decline, to hearing her anxiety and frustration with not being able to communicate. Maybe soon no more calls. Grateful that in a few weeks I will be able to visit her and hold her hand and stroke her hair like she used to do mine.
Iām grateful for all of you gratidudes, for sharing our wins and our woes, our triumphs and tears. Iām grateful for this thread and this forum. Iām grateful for my sobriety and the chance to work on my recovery.
Iām grateful for another day.

I hear ya on this one. Iām grateful I do it when I need it. Iāve gotten away from doing on the regular. The benefits are amazing when I do a guided meditation when I actually donāt need to. Thanks for the reminder.

I am grateful for the brand new business that I am launching today, though unprepared due to depression and an overall feeling of despondency.
I am grateful I didnāt drink last night because I really wanted to, just to sleep. I am so tired. Sleep will come. I reminded myself of all the things I promised Iād do before taking a drink and I didnāt have the energy for all that.
I am grateful for the new SMART meeting I am attending. I really think I will like it.
I am grateful (and sad) that my kiddo understands why I am being such a bitch and would rather that than a beer can in my hand.
I am grateful for these crazy ass dogs, who greet me every morning with such happiness.
I am grateful for our PFLAG community. As a closeted (kiddo) family, itās nice to spend time with those who understand.

Today Iām grateful for sobriety and working hard to live my life recovery focused: recovery from substances, depression and anxiety, codependency, toxic and abusive relationships, effects of sexual assault, imposter syndrome, loss of sense of self and low self esteem, I could go on. Im grateful I am feeling strong in my recovery today and feeling positive about myself. Today. Just for today. Iām grateful that Iām about to celebrate 2 years since I signed up for Talking Sober, and though it took me a few months to start participating actively, the solace and sense of belonging and not being alone in my struggles came as soon as I started reading other peopleās shares and comments. Iām grateful that I have learned that not every day will be great or even good, and that I have the tools and power to get through the shit days, too. Iām grateful that I have learned from others here and elsewhere and that I understand learning will be life long. Iām grateful for the support I receive here and can pay forward here, as well.
Always grateful for you all, amigos.

Grateful my weekend is here. Grateful I can got to bed early and get up late if I want. Grateful Iām bloody tired for it says that I worked hard in the last days.
Grateful I worked hard on myself and on my relationships, without knowing if any of the work I put in actually will achieve anything. Grateful I put that work in regardless.
Grateful I realize need to work hard on myself and my relationships because I made my life unmanageable and unlivable for nearly 56 years, making wrong assumptions and drawing wrong conclusions about life and relationships as a very young child.
Grateful I recognize that better, each day I stay sober and work on getting better. Grateful I know itās one day at a time. Grateful to all of you for helping me on my way. Grateful I get to help some of you a little bit. Grateful Iām not alone. Grateful we are in this together. Love.
