Good morning ( or afternoon/evening) depending on where you are in the world.
I’m grateful for 23 days sober. I’m grateful for coffee. I’m grateful to have a job I love. I’m grateful for the beautiful fall weather. I’m grateful that my pool is still barely warm enough to swim laps in. I’m grateful to be planning a trip to Colorado in November. I’m grateful for Rue. I’m grateful I’m going to make a carrot cake later today. I’m grateful for new songs and old songs.
I’m grateful for TS and you all💛

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink or depend on booze or wake up with crushing hangovers.
I’m grateful for tears. No I’m not crying. Just grateful for them.
I’m grateful I remembered to pray for my wife this morning, even though she didn’t ask for it. I need for me to pray for her. And it also reminded me to pray for another Kelly who did ask for it. @KellyKelly I hope you are well today on 51. Thanks for the tag.
I’m grateful for my 4 conflicting readings this morning 
it will give me a lot to think about. As I try to be content but also find passion in something and remember to ask God for help and I’m responsible for my own sober decisions. Fuuuuuuck……… I feel like I’m being pulled 4 different ways. I guess I’ll start by asking God for help. Figure out the rest later and continue on being grateful this morning for all my blessings.
I’m grateful to watch Benson, man it up, and get on my lap even though Daisy is sitting on me already. She didn’t kill him but she did make a few swipes at him and I’m unscathed.
I’m grateful for the abundant love of my pets. I feel like they are working extra hard giving the love since they got home from the kennel. Like maybe they’re grateful. Gratipets 
.
I’m grateful my back seems to be doing well. I’m always cautiously optimistic saying that because I don’t want to jinx it. Maybe I should try and let go of my back pain? with humor like an 
emoji salad 
? Sorry I guess I’m all over the place. Presently I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt at all! There we go!
I’m grateful I got caught up on this thread last night. I never……. Thought I’d have to get caught up here with this abundance of gratitude. What a blessing 
I’m grateful I walked yesterday afternoon. It was good. I’m such a creature of habit. If I don’t do my exercise or walk in the morning I never do it in the afternoon. It was really good.
I’m grateful for the meatloaf sandwich that I’ll be making for lunch. It’s the best part of the meatloaf.
Love you guys.

I’m so grateful to read your gratitudes this morning! I, too, had a rough start with major congestion and sore throat from drainage but after a couple hours of getting up and around (slowly!) I’m grateful to be feeling better. I’m grateful to find similarities on the thread today, like how reminding myself that I felt crummy but nowhere near as bad as a terrible hangover, and working through a tough spot by practicing gratitude in the moment. I had a zen moment filling the bird feeders and just looking at the lovely shapes and colors in the seeds. Those moments of being truly present are so important to me and I’m grateful for them every time. I’m grateful for the texts my Mami and I exchanged this morning and the funny story she told me about accidentally leaving out almost half the flour in her banana nut bread! Humans are not good at multitasking! I am grateful to be tickled to the point of laughing out loud at her texts. I’m grateful that Miss Lupe is being patient with me and not begging for her walk early today as we are waiting on some rain to pass. I’m grateful to have felt confident enough in my sobriety to sit on a lovely patio at a brewery downtown and enjoy the beautiful evening yesterday. No cravings whatsoever and no need to even walk in to the brew pub at all. It felt like a win.
I’m always grateful for you all, amigos.

Good for you Franzi. Sometimes we just have to put our well being first. I found it so hard to do with my mother when she was alive. Especially when my mom would lay the guilt trip on me. But how I react to the guilt trip is the only thing that was on me. It wasn’t always easy. Frick, it was never easy. My mom knew how to turn the screws . You’re doing the right thing

Good morning Family.
Grateful that today is my mom’s 72nd birthday and that I am not under the influence today. That I can spend my time with her in present mind, enjoying our day not planning and obsessing about how I will drink. I don’t have to worry about who will drive, if they have my preferred alcohol at the resturant we will be at, if they are judging me as I bring a “road pop” for the 20 min drive from the house to the resturant…
I am grateful that today I woke up early and followed through with my morning routine.
I am grateful for incense and candles, crystals and quiet.
I am grateful for my bullies and their deep snores. I am grateful for my shepherds and their long beautiful lives.
I am grateful that my teenaged child still likes to crawl into my bed for a morning cuddle.
I am grateful that I let go this morning and I feel at peace.

I am grateful that I had a reasonable night’s sleep.
I am grateful that today’s RD meeting covered breathing - breathing - breathing.
I am grateful my kiddo passed the driver’s licensing test - I don’t think I could have handled the fallout if that didn’t happen.
I am grateful for the most delicious breakfast I had, which included chorizo, jalapeno, avocado - I mean what else do you need? I also had a GF waffle. It was a beautiful belgian-style waffle and I have no idea how they managed it. Tasty (no syrup - I despise and am repulsed by syrup).
Grateful I am feeling clear and motivated to continue to get this house in order.
Grateful that I could crawl out from the dark hole I was in. As you get older and slip more often, it’s harder and harder to string together those first days.
Grateful for those of you here who “see” me. If you don’t mind, I will keep on depending on that until I have strong days behind me and probably after, too.

Today I’m grateful for many memes @Dazercat and @JasonFisher posted on the meme thread. I had to catch up a few days and laughed out loud often 
Thanks folks, I needed it!
Grateful for the beautiful sunny day today. Grateful for coming back home save, driving all day from one appointment to the next is very straining for me. Grateful our heater operates well. end of october is coming and I want a warm (not too warm) and cosy house to move in - hopefully next month. move in later, heat now 
Grateful for my bed. I love my bed. It’s the best place to be for me. Grateful for my cats, they snuggle, talk, play, sleep, snorr … they are my sunshine. Grateful my husband finally took over one car and the insurance. After years me grouching about it …

Grateful my weekend just started. Grateful it’s school holiday here so no group therapy tomorrow. I can do without just this once. Grateful to have some time for myself. Grateful I feel I’m making some progress again, after quite a while of feeling stagnant. Grateful I’m sober and clean so I can work on a better life. Grateful I work on a better life. Grateful to all of you here, showing me how it’s done. With gratitude that is. One day at a time. Thanks. Love.

I’m grateful to God for guiding me through another day, clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery and that it doesn’t give up on me so I don’t give up on it.
I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful to have made another good meal for myself and the boys at the treatment center. I’m grateful that the weekly AA meeting at my sponsor’s house was really what I needed tonight. I’m grateful that Kelley messaged first after not hearing from eachother for a bit, we all deserve that at times. I’m grateful for the hour walk to get home after my meeting, I listened to some nice music and literally stopped to hug a couple trees and smell some flowers. I’m grateful that I have an appointment in a few weeks to meet this Doctor that I am trying to get to take me on as a patient, I never knew it was such a process to find one, learning new things all the time I’m grateful for so many of you admitting earlier today that you just weren’t feeling ready for the day, same as me, it helped me reframe and refocus reading it so thank you, I see you!! I’m grateful to see us celebrating milestones, pets, significant others, passing drivers tests, plants, sleep, emoji salad and humor.
God bless you all.

p.s. Don’t give up before the miracle. Ya you!!
p.p.s. Glad to have gotten to watch some NBA tonight, my team lost but we are still winning so lets goooo Gratidudes!!!

I’m so grateful this morning that I do not have a headache! It really was the big test with a major weather shift. I’m grateful for all the people who have given me suggestions and advice on this journey but I am also not holding expectations. Just appreciative of a headache free day. I’m so grateful for the update I got just now that my sister in law’s sweet niece Susie, who has contracted COVID-19, is doing well and has flu-like symptoms, no loss of taste or some of the more extreme symptoms, and that her parents and the rest of her family is vaccinated and they can navigate caring for her while keeping her isolated. So tough with school aged kids. I’m grateful that my parents who both have medical issues will hopefully be able to get Moderna boosters soon. I’m grateful for modern medicine and all the researchers who are working hard to keep us safe. Im grateful my friend who got COVID after being vaccinated is healing well and is grateful his bout is not worse. I’m grateful that science informs me through my meteorologist who tells me to cover my plants tonight for a frost warning. I want to keep my beautiful begonias alive as long as I can! I’m grateful to be sober and strong in my recovery.
Always grateful for my amigos here

Good morning all,
I’m grateful to see a beautiful sunrise this morning. I’m grateful for coffee. I’m grateful I have a husband who tries his darndest to support me and cheer me up. I’m grateful for my kids, and that they have finally made the new place “home” ( though we have been here 2 years already). Im grateful to hear my son chatting on the phone with his friend, and making plans to hang out Friday night. This is huge for him. And my daughter making plans to go to a school dance. These are things that I want for them, and it makes me happy if somewhat anxious. Im grateful to have found TS, and have so many people to support and guide me. Im grateful I don’t drink.
Everyone have a wonderful day
