I am grateful to be finished with seat assignments for Hamilton. It took way longer than I had hoped and I missed my SMART meeting because of it. Six hours!

I am grateful for finding The Luckiest Club and for the speaker this morning.

I am grateful for sobriety.
I am grateful for my wonderful daughter.
I am grateful to be alive and breathing.
Today is extremely difficult, and i miss them.
I always do.
Day 38, tomorrow is day 39.
My favorite quote as of lately is something that I said after initially getting out of the hospital where my life continued in itās seemingly neverending downward spiral.
āIāve already fucked up my life better than anyone or anything else ever could. Life, do your fucking worst.ā

Iām grateful to God for another day clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and all of you. Iām grateful I got laundry and groceries done today. Iām grateful to be safe in bed enjoying one of my favorite movie series that I can watch over and over How To Train Your Dragon. Iām grateful my covid test results should be in when I wake. Iām grateful I see my friend @M-be-free49 ready to post for another night, much respect to you dear. Iām grateful for music excersise, humor and laughter.
God bless you all.

Iām grateful to feel myself unwind after a few tough days, with my mug of tea, as I read all your posts. Someone above called us a village, and I so get it. I am so grateful for this group of special humans. Our lack oā sobriety (in the before time, yes! 
) may have brought us together, but so much more keeps me coming back.
Iām grateful I went and saw my dear uncle - another special human - last weekend. He passed yesterday, and Iām grateful he isnāt suffering any longer. Iām grateful I have enough days under my belt and a good set of tools in my toolbox, that I donāt even think āa drinkā would help. Wouldnāt be one, and wouldnāt help. Iām grateful I can process grief and loss so much differently in sobriety.
Iām grateful for the feeling that I can trust myself, my actions. That I can rely on myself. It seems like the things of life, big or small - be they work stress, family stuff, grief and loss or love or whatever - that we used to face with our vice beside us, just build our confidence in ourselves and our sobriety when we face them sober, you know?
I know I couldnāt do this alone. Back to where I started: grateful for all of you! And my little home, my job, the daily abundance I donāt question - food in the frig, modern day āconveniencesā like heat and water and electricity, personal rights and freedoms. I donāt question whether theyāll be here tomorrow! Common luxuries too - coffee, clean clothes, canine pals.
Iām grateful for my life. Iām grateful for another day.

Oh, thank you! So much family stuff going on in our worlds, hey? Iām grateful your sons are seeking healing, and that they have you for their momma. 
And for all thatās going on in @Dazercatās fam. That @EarnItās kid gave her a well-deserved hug.
Just shows, I think, how much effect our sobriety has on the people and worlds around us. Not that weāre in control of all that, of course

Hello again, all.
Today Iām grateful that the weekend is here. My working day is over and I am about to go to the cinema with Mrs Singtone to watch a bit of Bond. She has been waiting to watch it for weeks now, so sheās very happy. When she happy, I happy.
Grateful for the second day of my excellent course today. There was lots of role play involved, and we had to do it with the rest of the group watching. My worst nightmare. 
In the before time, I would have been hungover and extremely anxious, which would have led me doing a mediocre job of it and hating myself for the rest of the weekend. Going to bed sober last night (and for the previous 297 nights) meant that I was together and calm and I managed to do a decent job. Well, I donāt want to scratch my own face off, at least.
I love reading about all of your family stuff, and I love that weāre evolving into a village. 
I also love it when we comment on the basics. The things that it is easy to take for granted.
Grateful for all of you.
Have a great day, all.

Today I am grateful for the sleep ins and waking fresh and rested. It is reminding me that for every plus there is a minus and I need to appreciate amd respect the balance. With my schedule change I am gaining evenings, better dinners and dinnertime, more availability when my son is no in school, better metrics at work because I am fresh and more alert; however, I am losing my morning routines, staying up later and the house is not as clean as well as less time for exercise or activitiesā¦oh and less $. Iāve got to reframe what is most important during my off hours and embrace this timing in sobriety. I am grateful to hear about the Luckiest Club as I just read the book in like 4 days and loved it so much.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for early mornings. Apparently, I only need 7 hours sleep, not the 9-10 I was striving for to āsleep it off.ā
I am grateful that my dog ate first thing this morning, since she didnāt eat yesterday. (Boy her stomach was making some terrifying noises!)
I am grateful for a sharp mind and quick wit.
I am grateful for books! All the books!
I am grateful that sticking to gluten-free has my psoriasis patches way down.
I am grateful for my chickens and that they are still laying. Theyāll stop soon for the winter but for now, farm-fresh goodness!
I am thankful that after this weekend, I donāt have to deal with another Broadway show for a couple of months. I am grateful that after this season, the group I organize for will be much, much, smaller.
I am grateful to recognize when my plate is too full and to dump a little bit off.
I am grateful I will be facilitating my Thursday RD group.
I am thankful for you!

Iām grateful I got the best grown up children in the world.
Iām grateful they are already home safe and sound.
Iām grateful I choose to stop the madness of drinking on my own.
Iām grateful Iām not in my wifeās shoes. Iām grateful my wife has decided to cut back on her drinking. I really cannot imagine how she feels. Iām grateful I will give this time and know my roll. And after I give it time. Iāll give it one more day at a time.
Iām grateful to understand my part in the life we have built together which included partying, drugs before children, and drinking for the first 38 years out of the 40 years we been together. Iām grateful to realize there is no blame or can be no judgement on my part.
Iām grateful to be up before the dawn. I love being up in the darkness and seeing the first light of the day coming on.
Iām grateful my house cleaners are coming today.
Iām grateful for the purr tamping fest I get every night in bed with Daisy. Iām grateful I got the Ol Burner stretched out on my lap.
Iām grateful my daughter mentioned in our conversations that sheās always in chronic pain. And I donāt always remember that when I think of my daughter. I mean out of sight out of mind. Itās not like I see her every day we donāt live near each other. But I feel as a Dad I should know this about her so I can emphasize better with it.
Iām grateful my son cries more than his dad. Well he did the other day anyway.
Iām grateful to be able to share my shit here with you lovely people. It really does feel like a safe place.
Iām grateful Iām learning āI can be right or I can be happy.ā Courage To Change

Iām grateful for a bit more sleep and fewer weird dreams. For the dry and crisp but not too cold weather that let me take Miss Lupe for a longer walk today - she needed it! For the ability to focus on each task at a time today with a bigger outlook to the weekendās objectives but not be too stressed to get through it all, or much, today. For the food in my home, even when I find something has spoiled or gone stale because it teaches me lessons on improving mindfulness in eating and sourcing my food stuffs. Grateful to be sober today.
Grateful for you amigos here.
