I’m going to check in properly because I have a huge amount to be grateful for.
I’m grateful that I don’t really have too many cravings anymore. Alcohol barely crosses my mind these days.
I’m grateful that I’ve lost enough weight to start running again at the tender age of 50. I honestly thought that I would never jog again.
Grateful that I’ve been planking pretty much every day since we had the planking challenge a couple of months back. I feel so much healthier these days that I keep catching myself wondering if it’s all a dream.
Grateful that we have been able to book flights for Christmas and that we can (hopefully) travel home for the first time in two and a half years. Our children haven’t seen their grandparents in person in all of that time. It all seems so surreal.
Grateful for my job. It gives me real purpose. I’ve been off for the last two weeks and I couldn’t wait to get back in yesterday. I love all of my classes and I have been really happy to see them.
Grateful for the basics, but I don’t want to leave them out. My family. Our home. The food in the fridge. Some pennies in the bank. Our friends.
We are lucky, lucky people.
Grateful for all of you, too.
Much love. 
I absolutely love this post, Jason. Imagine saving enough money to become your own boss by just giving up drinking. It’s incredible, isn’t it?! Not only that, but the rest of life is so much better too. Remember when we thought we were giving something up? The idea that every minute of every day is better, AND you get to turn your professional life around in such an amazing way as well is the stuff of dreams. I feel ecstatic for you. Love it. 
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful this morning I just sat here with God and my feelings of unjustifiable unhappiness, before I got all going doing my devotionals and gratitudes.
I’m grateful I’m still learning more about the power of gratitude.
I’m grateful for the rain I slept through last night.
I’m grateful for smart phones and devices.
I’m grateful for my morning coffee.
I’m grateful for my cup of hot tea now.
I’m grateful to be sitting in the quiet with a fire going and of course the snoring or rhythmic breathing of my old dog girl.
I’m grateful about 500 days ago, I think, is when I first read and loved reading the phrase “the old dog girl.” 
I’m grateful my old dog girl is doing so well.
I’m grateful my old cat girl is doing so well too. It just not as fun to say.
I’m grateful my back feels pretty good presently.
I’m grateful I got a regular chiropractor appointment today for maintenance instead of waiting until it hurts like hell.
I’m grateful I think the new update on my iPad last night fix some of the bullshit that was really pissing me off the last few days.
I’m grateful for how I’ve been enjoying Twitter these days and not using it for political frustration.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful doing my gratitude list helps me feel a little less of this unhappy, unjustifiable funk, presently. I’m grateful I’m feeling the benefits of this gratitude practice right now in real time.
Gratitude: A life changing gesture for one and all
Don’t know who the hell said it. Just found it on Twitter.
He’s baaaack. 
I’m really grateful for the support I get on here when I give support. It makes me feel really good.
Thank you.
Good morning family.
I am grateful that the storm missed our home. I was grateful to drive through the eye of it though with my daughter, it made for the perfect teaching opportunity of “How to drive with zero visibility” (without pulling over of course because that’s how I roll)
I am grateful for the people in my life who validate my feelings. I am starting to trust myself but it is always nice to hear that what I am feeling is within reason.
I am grateful for humility which has allowed me to reach out and ask other women in recovery " How am I doing" Most times it’s the people around you that will notice an emotional relapse or when you start to slip before anything really bad happens. I have been taught it’s good to check in.
I am grateful that I was able to express myself clearly to my daughter yesterday, that she now understands my stress about her getting behind in school is not aimed at her. I know she is working as hard as she can and I feel 100% responsible for not knowing how to schedule her properly so that she can get through her courses. Grateful again for humility and that I am able to call the school for help.
I am grateful for the conversation I had with a homegroup member and how uncanny it is that so many of us are alike.
Grateful for my life today, thanks for being a part of my recovery. 
Day 79 and I’m incredibly grateful we’ve closed our COVID units for the second time in two years. Grateful we get dibs on which unit we can return to and I’m returning to a long ago love of acute care oncology. Grateful to have gotten sober through seeing so many deaths and seeing such sadness. Grateful to have met so many amazingly strong people I’m still in touch with. Grateful for self-scheduling. Grateful for this 12 hr shift I’m about to start then off for seven days. Grateful I have hope in my heart again that I remember from pre-covid. Grateful for this forum and all the brave shares. Grateful for this day sober.
I am grateful today for meaningful talks with addicts. I am grateful that treatment is something I look forward to. I am grateful today was a rest day from the gym. I am grateful I am dressed and ready to go walk my 3 miles before bed. I am grateful I can be grateful instead of sitting alone with a 1.75 waiting to die. I am grateful that I can call my family and they answer without thinking what the conversation might turn into. I am grateful for you and the 24 hours we are blessed with.
Lots of gratitude right this second.
I’m grateful for…
- damp fall evenings
- yummy smells coming from the kitchen
- wood burning stoves
- hand-me-down vinyl/music I might not have purchased myself
- super chill teenagers
- warm, low lighting
- my plants
I’m grateful to God for another day clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery.
I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful that I had a warm shower and cleaned my room. I’m grateful that I can reschedule the appointmemts I missed today. I’m grateful
that I have slept alot since Saturday and feel quite a bit better tonight. I’m grateful that I may get a local dr. next week, time will tell. I’m grateful I can admit that I am a bit depressed and sore after laying around for days despite needing it. I’m grateful in the grand scheme of things my problems are pretty small. I’m grateful for humor and laughter as I’ve been binging comedians in cars getting coffee.
God bless you all.

I have so much joy reading everyone’s posts this evening. I’m grateful for the warm soft turquoise blanket with dude cat laying on my feet. I’m grateful for the peppermint seltzer by my side. Grateful to have a home keeping warm on this rainy night. Grateful I kept a couple of commitments to myself today; waking early and walking this morning, then this evening beginning to clean out my studio space to be able to start to use it as I originally planned. (It’s been a catch all room when we moved and looked like a hoarder room) I’m grateful that sobriety seems to be sticking around!
This is gold.
This all seems very hyggeligt!!
Except for the damp one (because this weather is horrible for my arthritis) I felt hygge just reading your list 
I’m grateful to the lord for this day he has made.
I’m grateful for the many blessings we have.
I’m grateful for my family and prey they are safe and well.
I’m grateful for friendship
I’m grateful for the man I have become.
I’m grateful for my sobriety.
God bless 
This morning I am grateful for the work I am doing looking inward, vulnerability and Brene Brown’s gifts she so thoughtfully shares, for the ability to look to someone I admire and respect to see the self worth they have for themselves leading to positive outcomes. I am grateful for the chance to use the resources available to make a little more progress every day and the time I have, albeit very minimal, to show myself self care and compassion.
@I.cant.We.can - Comedians in cars getting coffee is oh so bingeable - great show.
@eph-M-eral - I am always reminded how bagging is truly an art when I bag my own stuff and think…what is this mess? It’s a skill for sure.
This morning my gratitude is most with the tools I’ve learned to help get me through these first 10 days of my journey. I also have much gratitude for this community, I downloaded the app not knowing what to expect and this far beyond exceeded my expectations and has been one of the biggest tools for me. Have the most amazing sober day!
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for another morning to be able to sit here with God and my feelings. Feelings of sadness. And grateful to be able to pray and just sit with God. And Benson. And be able to feel these emotions. And it’s ok. And maybe like yesterday, and my feelings of unhappiness, and spending more time with God in the morning before I tackle my devotionals, and talking to him about it and just feel them. I know I will be ok. Thank you Lord.
I’m grateful my Courage To Change reading told me I may not have everything I want, but today I have everything I need. It was funny, because I started debating that in my head. And now sitting in my chair with Benson in my lap. My fireplace going to keep we warm along with the central heat. And Minnie sitting so beautifully on the couch. And the quiet morning, with beautiful sunshine, even though the temps are well below freezing. And I got a family that loves me, even if it is from afar, I guess it’s NOT up for debate. I’m so grateful today I do have everything I need.
And I’m grateful I get to come here with you. My second family. And feel really genuinely loved and be able to share my shit with you.
I’m grateful God gave me this gratitude thread and for me to learn the power of gratitude every day.
I’m grateful to know full well and in my heart that I’m not drinking today. And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
Fuuuuuck. 
On the lighter side. I’m grateful I got my exercise walk in yesterday afternoon because I didn’t have time in the morning. And I was able to sneak Benson out of the house to come with me without Minnie knowing about it. I’m grateful I will get my walk in no matter what time of day it is. You can always go for a walk.
I’m grateful it’s time to lighten up and drop a meme or 2. Maybe celebrate someone’s sober achievement whether it’s day one or one thousand. Every day we’re clean and or sober is another day we are alive.
If you’re awake you are blessed. Life is a priceless gift, appreciate every minute of it.
Stole that from someone on Twitter. 
Congratulations on your ten days Ami. I’m glad you’re here.
So true. It seems like someone always has my back.
It gets better every ODAAT. This place has worked magically for me.
I’m grateful I just noticed a resentment and I cut that shit off at the pass.
I’m grateful Daisy got up on my lap and started tamping on me and it didn’t hurt. Because someone was sober before bed last night and was able to trim her nails.
I am grateful being sober.
I am very very grateful i have Dora and Paula or Paula and Dora. I love them so much and they give me so much (in exchange for some food). 
I am grateful I keep practicing yoga. It’s fascinating how and that I progress. I cannot really describe it. Maybe a year ago I wanted to begin with ashtanga yoga. I bought some literature, talked with my friend. Tried it. Hated it. Tried it again, hated it more. Last week I found a new teacher on yt and I gave it another try. This time it was more easy. Not the poses as such but I was deeper into breathing, it feels better now. I still often think, yeah, are you kidding me, maybe next life. But I want to give it a try. Well in one week that’ll be over for some weeks, I guess, hope. What I wanted to say, it came back to me. I kept being curious despite some failures in the past. I kept in mind that it is challenging and it’ll take some years to learn the primary series. I’ll see, no stress. But the more I practice the deeper I go into letting go, without too much effort and forcing myself. Being more gentle, and that is what I am grateful for.
Happy, that I am heading into the 2nd carfree winter.
Grateful I have a home I like, a fridge that is full, that I am relatively healthy, I can walk, I can take care of myself. I don’t depend on social help. I am grateful I have enough.
(guess tomorrow morning I won’t like ashtanga yoga that much when trying to crawl out of bed)
