You are closing in on your anniversary. The 2 or so months before my year was a battle. Think of it as you have come to a yellow light… proceed with caution.
I am glad you checked in.

Im grateful for a good night’s sleep.
I’m grateful for a dry roof over my head and a warm place to sleep.
I rent a space in an RV park. It’s pretty seedy. It was all I could find. All the house rentals around here have gone to being vacation rentals. It’s hard to find a place.
The worst neighbors have been moving out. I don’t know why because I’m really good at minding my own business living here. I like it! I’m grateful I won’t have to listen to them anymore.
My next door neighbor is cool. He has surveillance cameras set up and lights up our yards with lights, and we are in the corner. He doesn’t work(retired), so at least I feel like my place is safe when I’m on the ocean. I’m grateful for him.
Our little town has a meth problem. I’m grateful to be clean.
Our little town has a drinking problem too. It’s so easy to be a drunk here. Too easy! I’m grateful to be sober!
I’m grateful for this thread! It’s been helping me keep gratitude as a center of my recovery, where it belongs.
Congrats on your full trip around the sun sober @JB.5280! Awesome share!
I’m grateful to read everyone’s awesome shares here this morning as I’m not so grateful to have to go to work this morning.
I’m tired, it’s an honest hard working tired. I’m grateful for that.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a great weekend. I’m grateful for an easy start to the week. I’m grateful to have gotten to work out after work, and make some sort of dinner. I’m grateful that I am able to exercise. I’m grateful for my home filled with love. I’m grateful for happy kids. I’m grateful to have TS, and you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

Grateful for 99 days sober. It was a two meeting day and I’m grateful they were both filled with Daily Reflections readings, endless graditude and laughter. Grateful that I didn’t drink today and that I’m going to bed sober.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m always amazed that it is not shared more often. Great you know to get back to what works for you to stay sober. Take care.

Good afternoon, all.
Grateful for all of your shares, particularly the supportive messages which were aimed in my direction. Thank you.
I need to get back to the very basic basics.
I am grateful to be sober and clear headed. I never want to lose sight of what a gift that is. I went so long without it.
Grateful that hangovers are a distant memory - although I’m happy that they still fill me with dread.
Grateful that my anxiety is almost at zero. Having been crushed by it for years, this is the biggest reason I managed to stay sober in the early days. I cannot get blasé about it and allow it to become normal. It’s huge for me. It’s hard to keep it in mind though, when it has all but disappeared.
Grateful that my old friends acid reflux and upset stomach don’t call around so often these days, and that good sleep is a regular visitor.
Grateful that I have lost a significant amount of weight, which has allowed me to become more active again. I thought that my deteriorating health and general poor condition were a function of my age, but it turns out they were almost entirely down to my systematic self poisoning routine.
Grateful that I am more present in my kids’ lives, and that they recognise it and are happy about it. I have openly admitted to them that I have been thinking about drinking recently, and they have made their feelings very clear.
Grateful for the significant amount of cash that I have saved over the last 317 days. It’s the least important, but it’s definitely a thing.
Grateful for so much more, but I don’t want to bore you. 
Unbelievably grateful for this thread and for what it has taught me.
Have a great evening, all.

I’m grateful before my devotional routine I saw a beautiful orangey fiery glow from the sunrise creeping up through the ponderosas behind me. And I’m grateful for the big windows facing west and the strange glow I could see looking out them. It’s totally gone now and didn’t last long. I’m grateful I just sat with my purry cat and watched it.
I’m grateful I’m warm.
I’m grateful Daisy got up. I can go nuke my coffee brb…… 
I’m grateful I rewarded my self, or celebrated, or just did self care yesterday with a mani pedi. It didn’t give me a hangover and it’s still enjoyable.
I’m grateful for my Pilates trainer.
I’m grateful I’m not stressing out over gaining 4 pounds, I haven’t been able to power walk since I hurt my little piggy. But it’s much better now. I can get back at it before it gets out of control.
I’m grateful for my health. It’s mostly always pretty good.
I’m grateful for the peace and quiet of my neighborhood.
I’m grateful I have a chiropractor appointment today which means lunch out with wifey. Although when we go out to lunch she drinks. When we eat lunch at home she doesn’t drink. But that’s not my problem as I will not be drinking today. And I probably won’t be drinking tomorrow. Who’s with me?
I’m grateful for you 
Some days are brutal. Just know that we all have these days. A slip will not make it better.
Some reading I saved from November 11th.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for some nice people around here.
I am grateful I live in peace.
I am grateful I have access to clean water, food and a warm shower.
I am grateful I can buy what I need. I am grateful I don’t want what I cannot afford. Yesterday I read:
We don’t do what we want but we want what we do (Wolfgang Prinz).
I am grateful I keep on going. Mentally I am in no perfect state and it is okay. It is the worst part of the year.
Again, I am grateful I don’t drink.

Welcome back Marianna.
Gratitude is key to my sobriety. With those children I but you got lots to be grateful for when you’re not high. If you’re interested. Read the very first post at the beginning of this thread. This is a great place to share what we are all grateful for when we don’t pick up. Coffee is always on. Plenty of room for more gratitude.

I’m grateful I don’t drink.
I’m great that even though I wasn’t able to sleep the last few nights - I still feel better then when I woke up with a hang over.
I’m grateful for the fancy marinated olives and sparkly water I’m unwinding with after work.
I’m grateful I’m not unwinding with a glass of wine, but I have to be honest it crossed my mind on the way home.
I’m grateful for the crisp cool weather.
I’m grateful that I got to take Rue out for a walk before it got dark tonight.
I’m grateful I’m making chicken masala tomorrow.
I’m grateful that my boss didn’t care that I didn’t drink any wine when our distributor came in to taste wines for our spring menu. (although he might think I’m pregnant now 
)
I’m grateful reading all of your gratitudes and that they remind me to try and always look for the good things in life.
I’m grateful that I’m officially 50 days sober today.

I am grateful to have good online friends, even the ones who are allowed to eat gluten. 
I am grateful I made my bed. I am a week into making my bed putting on pjs, brushing my teeth and cozying in.
I am grateful that I will beat this with the help of TLC, RD, SMART and you.
And of course, I am grateful for you.

How is your cheese and char business coming along. I was at Trader Joe’s looking at all the cheese and thought of you. I’m bringing the cheese and charcuterie board for Thanksgiving and I’m taking it very seriously
