I am grateful that I am not overwhelmed anymore when life gets hectic. That I have learned how to take a step back and breathe. I am grateful I have accepted that I am human and can only do so much.
I am grateful that therapy seems to be falling into place nicely with 12 weeks of mindfulness group therapy while I have 10 weeks of intense 1-on-1 psychotherapy, followed by a 6 month DBT group. I am grateful that all of this therapy is covered by our health are system. I am also grateful that a new therapist has moved into the area that specializes in ED, she is private but at least there is that option if I still need help next year.
I am grateful for smartphones, Bluetooth, long drives and podcasts.
I am grateful for the new book my Dr suggested, I think some of you would like it.
I am grateful for the feeling I have inside which I donāt know what to name. But I am looking forward to spending sometime with my child at a rock and gem show. The feeling I have inside is nice.
I am grateful for the people that go through tough things during recovery and stay sober. I am just as grateful for the people who slip and come back right away. I never know what tomorrow will bring and both of those people are teaching me by example what the right thing to do is.
Iām grateful to God please help me to do the next right thing and to stay clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful to be back in the treatment center kitchen to make dinner. Iām grateful for the opportunity to chair the A.A. meeting a few hours after dinner. Iām grateful for music to accompany me during my walks. Iām grateful for my sponsee sitting across the table coloring his pictures and sharing some time with eachother and having a laugh.
God bless and you all. &

Day 84 and Iām grateful to wake up sober on this Halloween weekend!!! Grateful today is my wedding anniversary and I have the day off to spend with my husband. The weather is cool, the sky is clear and Iām grateful to have gotten my 84 days one at a time.
Edit - super grateful to be sober this weekend esp b/c my Google photos keeps reminding me that āon this dayāā¦ pictures of me pop up taken while half dressed in a ācostumeā drunk as shit on Halloweens from past 17 years. So embarrassing.
Today Iām grateful for a beautiful sunday. For wonderful autumn weather and my mum enjoying the sun. Grateful I cooked sauce bolognese yesterday so we have a weekend full of delicious pasta. grateful my husband is back from 3 days work outwards. Grateful for the touching funeral of a friendās dad yesterday, still makes me cry. Grateful I prepared everything for All Saintās Day tomorrow, we donāt do Halloween in Austria, we visit our late relatives and friends at the cemetary in remembrance. I love the quiet and silence at the cemetary and the light of hundreds of candles in the dark. Makes me feel connected with God and my deceased loved ones.
Iām grateful Suzy found this community @Smiller because it helps me to stay sober and a great reminder to appreciate all the hard work Iāve done to get where I am. Congratulations on your 3 days.
Iām grateful to God I donāt drink.
Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful to God for this attitude of gratitude every morning to start my day.
Iām grateful for another calm quiet morning with my dog and coffee and fireplace and my nice warm Irish knit sweater hugging me.
Iām grateful Iāve maintained my weight loss for a year and I feel really comfortable wearing sweaters again. Which is good because I bought a lot of sweaters my first sober winter.
Iām grateful I started my weight loss journey and sobriety at the same time.
Iām grateful I donāt stuff a shit ton of food in my face anymore thinking it will sober me up just so I can drink more.
Iām grateful for my Pilates Reformer coach and the session we had yesterday.
Iām grateful I thought to ask her to video me when she was showing me new stuff. THIS WAS HUGE FOR ME!!
Iām grateful for the trippy massage I had yesterday, with probably, my new massage therapist. I appreciate her very different unorthodox style. And she is teaching me more about breathing and how important it is.
Iām grateful all I have learned and know and put into practice about breathing. But apparently thereās still more to learn about such a simple thing we take for granted. Maybe that is why it was such a trippy massage. The breathing. I feel like I left my body 3 separate times but I wasnāt asleep.
Iām grateful she asked me nonchalantly how many days you got now? I forgot sheās ten years sober and we had a conversation about it last time.
Iām grateful the number of times Iāve mentioned my sobriety to people, because Iām proud as fuck,! Every once and awhile I get a āme too!ā And the number of years they have.
Iām grateful for @TripnMN and that you found this community and I see you working it everyday. I donāt know why I was thinking of you this morning but youāre getting a bit of a shout out
Maybe itās because I hope those Vikings kick some Cowboy Ass today
Iām grateful to be part of this little slice of heaven here on the gratitude thread with all you guys.
Yāall help me stay sober. Thank you for that
A strong person is not the one who doesnāt cry. A strong person is the one who cries and sheds tears for a moment, then gets up and fights again.
Donāt know where I found it, but I like it!
I KNOW RIGHT!
She showed me how to pick up the cat and dog bowls besides standing and using my knees properly; exhale into my lower back as I am picking the pet bowls up from the floor.
Iām grateful Kelly knows when my back hurts in the morning by how much dry cat food is spilled on the carpet when I just toss the food bowls down because I canāt bend.
Well thank you Eric it is because you and shesgotmoxie that I stuck with the forum I posted the first time I found this and you two showed me almost as soon as I hit enter that people cared on hereā¦
As a Detroit Lions fan when the Vikings play the Packers or the Cowboys is the only time I can root for them
Tonight Iām grateful I feel tired at 20:30 while 24 hours ago it was only 19:30 so I will be in bed early tonight and can get up at 6:00, which 72 hours before was 7:00 and it would have meant Iād have overslept by an hour for my early shiftā¦
Iām grateful Iām sober. Grateful I did get out of bed and the door in time to catch the morning spinning class. grateful I was able to complete said class, grateful I still had energy to go out again and have a walk through my home town and visit two of my favourite buildings, the Portuguese Synagogue and the Oude Kerk. Grateful I live where I live, grateful and lucky to have been born where I was born.
Grateful to all of you on here. Coming here helps. Thanks to you all. Love.
Good afternoon all!
Iām grateful I made it through a long, busy week. Iām grateful I did many things this week that āin the before timeā( thanks M ) would have required alcohol either before or as a reward after. I canāt say it was all fun, but I did it all, and I did it sober. And now Iām grateful I can relax.
Iām grateful to have worked through the feeling of, I donāt know exactlyā¦.superstition I guess, around posting here daily. I forgot to one night and felt kinda guilty, but also kinda like I had jinxed my sobriety by missing a list. So I skipped another day posting. I think that this thread helps me in so many ways, and even just reading other people gratitudes helps me, but the simple fact is, just posting on here is not going to magically keep me sober. Itās part of what I need to do, but the other part is in my ārealā life.
Iām grateful for all you guys, and your list of gratitude. Iām grateful for the nap Iām about to take.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Iām grateful to God thank you for loving me and please help guide me through the rest of the day clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful to be clean and sober on this holiday that was usually just another excuse to wear a mask, get fucked up and make out with some random then feel weird about it after.
Iām grateful these pork tenderloins, mashed potatoes and broccoli cauliflower mix that Iām making for twenty smells and looks great. Iām grateful my home NA group meets tonight I missed the last couple meetings. Iām grateful for sports to play and watch, for music and laughter.
God bless you all. &
Today I am grateful for the amazing day I had yesterday at my homecoming with my son and his gf. My son is considering attending my school and was thrilled to be there (especially with his girlfriend). I was so elated by the positivity and good, clean fun the three of us enjoyed. I am so grateful being sober was easy during this experience where there was so much booze around. I had no desire and being the responsible adult was so much more important. That hasnāt always been an easy choice and I am not proud of that. I am so grateful to be resting with 3 of 4 animals watching more football with my son. I am grateful for the sports trifecta Iām experiencing this weekend (especially my team in the World Seriesā¦woot!). I grateful for the super comfy warm blanket I bought at the game yesterday that seems to be so special and important to my 16-year-old. I am grateful my couch time this afternoon is the result of hard work, an active weekend, and an early morning helping my momā¦AND NOT A HANGOVER! Also grateful, Stella, for another book to add to my Audible wish list. Grateful for this very special place.
