Day 1024 it is.
Grateful being sober. Grateful I have enough.
Grateful for the Podcast someone posted here. It was/is a tremendous help and I ordered the book which came out today, yeah, another book
Grateful fot only 3 days to vacation. And I cheer myself up as I am alone in the office and we got a new whiteboard naked and unused
Iām grateful I got 600 days sober.
Iām grateful for you. Because I cannot do this without you
And Iām grateful for the God given strength to continue one more day at a time.
When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change, we then change.

Grateful this morning to have had any sleep at all. I went to bed with a lot on my mind I havenāt lost sleep to racing thoughts for a long time.
Grateful that I have some tools in my tool box to get me through today, that I donāt make rash decisions anymore and that I am willing to put my recovery first. I am grateful that just at the right time my higherpower has started to put some perfect opportunities infront of me to pass the message of recovery. I am grateful that the teenager who came back to the meeting last Tuesday reached out to me afterwards, I am grateful I am in a position in my life to be openminded and honest with her, to be willing to pick her up take her to meetings with me. I am grateful that last night she asked me to sponsor her. I see a child in so much pain and all those years I suffered as a child myself become years not suffered in vain. She can relate to my story and she chose me. This is where I add hope to our gratitude thread because I was praying so hard last night that I can do right by this girl, I hope that I can support her through her steps the way she needs to be supported and I hope she can just hang on tight to my hand and keep walking with me no matter how bumpy the ride gets.
I am grateful I can cry today, that I have such an amazing, supportive and wise sponsor, & grand-sponsor who contonue to show me the way to live this beautiful new life.
Good morning, all.
I am really grateful to be sober today. Returning to work after the summer break is really quite stressful, I am discovering for the first real time. Sleep is disrupted and anxiety is up. Imagine throwing poison into the mix.
Have a great day, all.
Yes, it is a book written by a woman who I heard interviewed on a podcast and found interesting snd helpful. I am looking forward to reading it. The author is Anna Lembke, MD.

You are such an asset to this forum and inspiration to all of us, especially we wee-ones in early stages of recovery. Sending your virtual sugar free cake STATā¦hope you like chocolate! Congrats!!
Good evening all,
Iām grateful that I am sober and able to make a trip to Costco after work today. If I were drinking I couldnāt, or wouldnāt. Iām grateful for laughs at work today. Iām grateful that @Dazercat has 600 days, and @Its_me_Stella has a sponsee, and Iām grateful for everyone who contributes to this thread.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Iām grateful to God thank you for helping me have a really good balanced day. Iām grateful for my recovery and the blessings it brings even through ups and downs. Iām grateful my friend came to visit and even after not seeing each other for 20 years she is right we still look pretty cute together. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4z4oLwD4SbMr17vf8
Iām grateful that her and I are mature enough to realize that doesnāt have to mean anything. Iām grateful I got the house cleaned up alot over the last few days. Iām grateful that I got to enjoy walks with one of my housemates today and with my company. Iām grateful that when I got stressed at times today my recovery is pretty strong and the serenity prayer is invaluable. Iām grateful that during my visit that included dinner and five hours of talking we didnāt try to force anything and just hung out, it made it simple. Iām grateful my housemates had no problem with me having company and that they took my advice to still do whatever theyāre gonna do, we donāt have to change our routines for anyone. Iām grateful to be in bed and ready to watch some disney, clean and serene. Iām grateful for all my family, friends and you grati-dudes.
God bless you all. &
