Today I am grateful to be up early, naturally, on a Saturday. That my efforts to improve my sleep hygiene are working. That I made it through another week headache + migraine free, even with sinus pressure (and possible allergies to bunnies!) which is evidence that I what I am doing is helping prevent headaches even in the face of triggers. That my partner is concerned with my wellbeing and noticed that after I spend time cooking that I have significant shoulder and neck tension because I am too short for the counter height work space and he is going to rearrange the kitchen so my kitchen cart (which is the perfect height for me) can be brought up from the basement for my use. I ask him to do things like this often because he has good spatial awareness and is a wiz at arranging furniture and work spaces (also packing and fitting things in tight spaces!) but the fact that he noticed an issue and had ideas for how to remedy it to reduce my pain and discomfort is pretty special in my book.
I am grateful that my guy didn’t drink at all this week, including last night on a Friday night. That the weather is going to be lovely this weekend and we are able to be outside to enjoy it, even if part of the time will be doing chores (I don’t mind!). That the fella at the meat counter convinced me to buy the extra thick NY strip steak and that I have lovely Argentinian shrimp in my freezer for a surf and turf BBQ today.
Always grateful to be on my recovery journey with all of you here.

I’m grateful for another morning not hungover after being out with friends til 1am. OMG 
I haven’t been out til 1 in like forever. And without a drink 
Or twenty 
I’m grateful for my walk down memory lane in Austin, Texas where I started what was to be my adult life in 1979. Seeing all the places and all the changes and the building I use to work in for 15 years as a restaurant pro. It looked like shit by the way 
I’m grateful for my education of life working through restaurants. There’s no college paper degree from a nice school. But I managed and learned life things they don’t teach you in school.
I’m grateful again. I don’t have a hangover
My life education may have given me a minor in addiction but we know shit.
I’m grateful recovering addicts are some of the smartest people out there. Ya you! And we’re fighters. Ya you! I love fighters. Ya you 
I’m grateful I didn’t drink during the crazy 4 hour dinner last night with our 2 best friends. It wasn’t the waiters fault. It was corporate greed and overbooking in a big named restaurant. But I’m grateful I was calm. I was cool. I was collected. I was in good company. I was never waiting for my god damn drink. Because we waited for a lot of other shit. That would have driven the old me crazy.
I’m grateful this not drinking is, pretty pretty pretty good
I’m grateful my best friends are picking us up today for a little road trip. Maybe even see some cool wineries. My friend, the husband, doesn’t drink anymore, maybe on occasion, he never drank much. And he enjoys the wineries without drinking 
son of a bitch!
I grateful when we got back to the hotel last night with them and they, the women, had after dinner drinks and fucking fried apple pie and ice cream.
This badass had decaf cappuccino, first time no sugar, and soda water. And no extra fork.
Ya, I’m a bit proud of myself and pretty happy about it. But 22 months ago. I never ever thought this could be my life. I am so worth it.
And so are you
I’m grateful I did it just one day at a time.
Gratitude is one of the most medicinal emotions we can feel. It elevates our moods and fills us with joy.

I’m grateful that even though my parents didn’t get to attend the walk today, I got the go ahead call just on time to make it for the ten o’clock opening speeches. I’m grateful to have gotten some pictures with some of my friends. I’m grateful I got to go for lunch with some friends that came from out of town. I’m grateful I got to meet some of my supports children and significant others. I’m grateful to be getting ready to make the usual Saturday pizza and then a meeting. I’m grateful none of us have covid.
God bless you all.

Grateful for all the work my husband does, even though I’m exhausted and ennervated by is inability to communicate and make plans together.
Greatful for a Jamie Oliver show I watched during my lunch break. Inspiring

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.
I am grateful that I was able to get a 3.5 mile walk in and that now I am resting a bit before making some dinner.
I am grateful that I decided to purchase myself ski equipment after years of not going. I grew up on the slopes and did downhill racing so I am excited to open this door back up as a fun and healthy sober activity.
I am grateful that thoughts of drinking came and went and they may again and that’s okay I will not act on those thoughts today.
I am grateful to be here with all of you on this sober path striving for a better way and a happier life.

Tonight I’m grateful for the incredible amount of love I felt from everybody on TS today. I’m not alone and that realization fills me with gratefulness and joy. Also grateful to my sis and her son Len who came to me and shared my birthday meal. It was a good day for which I’m grateful, grateful I didn’t let my birthday pass like it was a secret as I have done for the last decade. Grateful I feel alive. Grateful I am sober and clean. Now it’s time to try out my new winter duvet for which I’m grateful too. Thanks for being here all. Love.

I’m grateful for the ability to walk away when negative vibes are felt, and for the ability to not carry them with me. I wasn’t always capable of that, and it feels really good to have grown to this level of regard and care for myself.
I’m grateful for the good people in my life… my husband, my children, my parents, my closest friends, and the friends I’ve gained here. I didn’t always place importance on connection with others, and I’m thankful to have found a different perspective.

I’m grateful for sensitive, kind people; Who understand what so many people go through and fight along side me. I’m grateful for the chilly weather. I’m grateful for Harry Potter movies. I’m grateful for the eggplant I am making that I got from the farmers market. I’m grateful that people are able to heal, including myself. I’m grateful that I have chocolate for after dinner that I allow myself to have now. I’m grateful that I’m not restricting or feel like I have to “earn” my food. I’m grateful that I recognize my triggers and don’t sink my teeth into them. I’m grateful I don’t drink. I’m grateful that I’m eating eggplant for dinner, instead of drinking wine. I’m grateful that I have a voice. I’m grateful for people who stand up for others. I’m grateful for all the things in my life that are going well and promise to take the time to see them

I’m grateful to have woken up to a dusting of sweet snow! 
When those leaves 
are done falling, bring on the flakes, I say. (I’m excited for your skis, Peace/Jen!)
I’m grateful that I can change up my plans next week. I was going to drive to see Mom and work from the city for a week. Booked a flight 
instead to avoid snowy highways. First sober real airport experience. I’ll walk past the little vino spot that serves the trio of proseccos, and smile as I think about all my pals here who soberly navigate airports (Dazercat!) or soon will (Singtone!). Together we’re stronger - even far apart.
I’m grateful I know I will go through the airport and go see my Mom and that I will do it sober. I’m grateful for all the support I have that I can lean on. (I might reach out, @Mbwoman!)
I’m so grateful today for our dear pal @Mno. I was thinking about my first few months on TS, how it was a relief to be here, but how at times, it felt like I was trying to rub elbows with a crowd I clearly didn’t belong to. These people were successfully sober! Some for weeks and months and years! One Saturday afternoon, after a few resets (third time’s a charm, she says), I’d built back up a few weeks but got a crushingly sad call from Mom and put my shoes on after to go get some wine. I was crying, hard. A voice in my head told me to drink was the only way. A whisper told me to post first. With about one atom left of “try” in me, I posted “help”. Menno’s reply came before I even had both shoes back on.
Here I am. No third reset.
Menno, for every one of your days. Your posts. Your pictures. Your words of strength and encouragement. Your honesty. I am deeply grateful to you, dear friend.
Big love to you today, your birthday, and everyday. 
And oh yeah, I’m grateful for another day, and emoji salad always!

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for an easy, restful Saturday. I’m grateful for a clean home. I’m grateful for sunshine and breezy weather. I’m grateful for my crazy dogs and rabbit. I’m grateful for TS, and for how understood I feel here. I’m grateful for the love we have for each other, even if we haven’t met in real life. I’m grateful we are trying.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
