Thanks for asking. Slow. I am going to be leaning more into corporate breakfast/lunch catering. Pre-cut and sorted charcuterie has popped up in pretty much every store, so people like to question the cost. Still plugging along.
Hi Bootz ( I donāt know your name yet )
I think itās so wonderful you grew up in a body positive home. Thatās never a term that was said in my home growing up. It was either thin or you are too thin and need medical help. I can only imagine being involved in the fitness community and how many different directions you could get pulled in. Thatās pretty awesome that your mom installed that in you. Itās something I hope I can teach my kids one day. I think a lot of people are effed up by the diet industry. That teaching kids about nutrition, exercise, how to cook, and to love their body and fuel it would do the world so much good.
Thanks for the sweet note
50 is an awesome number!
Thanks Jason, I know you have strung together a lot of ODAATās. Just following your lead

Congrats on 50 @Callie99!
Grateful to see you here and trying @EarnIt .
Grateful for simple things- hot water to shower, plenty of food in the fridge, a family who loves me. Grateful for warm blankets, and hot Chai tea in the morning. Grateful I stumbled onto TS and this thread.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Iām grateful to God for guiding me through another day while remaining clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery with all its challenges and blessings. Iām grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that I am tired after another very late night phone call last night, from Kelley, she called this evening to say sheās feeling better and is safe and sober(awesome). Iām grateul that it was games night at the teatment center and I won the games I played, I like to win, surprise right, who doesnāt. Iām grateful I got to help make dinner and it was good. Iām grateful that I can get support and advice when Iām visiting the treatment center from both fellow clients and the professionals that work there. Iām grateful for music, exercise and laughter. Iām grateful to have an appointmemt with housing tomorrow.
God bless you all. &

Good job on 50 Caroline thatās Awesome
Iām grateful for my mindset tonight after a few days that have so not gone according to plan. Didnāt even post last night, was falling asleep while trying to. Iām grateful I know this thread and the Gratidudes arenāt going anywhere, and will still be here tomorrow.
Iām grateful yesterdayās festival of work zoom meetings went mostly well, though stressful. Iām grateful I didnāt cancel plans with a new pal after work even though I was feeling a little like hiding out at home. Iām grateful I made it back home safe even though it was blizzarding and - of course - my check engine light came on. The shop can take a look at Grover (my car) on fri, and Iām grateful I donāt need it much before then. Iām grateful for the beauty of winter, that I mostly enjoy it - blizzards and all. Iām grateful today went well though I am beyond tired!
Iām grateful for the strength I get from all of your posts. Even if or when we are feeling weak, the sharing of it all I think is what makes us stronger.
Yep, we all just did another day. Just like that. Grateful.
Last one up turn out the lights, yeah? Unless Ericās up by then?
Wooohoooo
Congrats on 50!!!
Iām grateful to be sober everything else is a bonus
Today Iām grateful I woke up well rested. Grateful I napped all afternoon yesterday and went to bed early, I felt exhausted and needed it.
Iām grateful I managed some tidy up today. Grateful for playful cats, they make me laugh. Grateful for food at home so I can cook lunch without having to shop first. Grateful my husband finally manages to sort and store his belongings in the new house. Miracles happen
Iām grateful for the wonderful NA reading I just read. It was just beautiful. Jft.org no matter how I feel today Iāll go on with my recovery
Iām grateful to God I donāt drink.
Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful to be up early so I can start my day with my devotionals and yāall before yet another vet appointment. Second round of FELV shots for 2 cats. Hopefully it will be an easier trip than last weeks.
Iām grateful for lovely voice messages on WhatsApp back and forth from my friend Julie in London. She is so cool. I left her hanging for 2 weeks and I knew it wouldnāt matter and we just continue on.
Iām grateful I get to get up early and do my thing instead of sleeping in to a ānormalā time.
Iām grateful I went on a walk at 4pm yesterday since I didnāt have time to get my walk in in the morning.
Iām grateful I tried my wifeās dealcholized wine yesterday and it just didnāt feel right. It felt very uncomfortable. But she is trying to cut back and Iām trying to be supportive and interested and I told her Iād join her with a little. Iām really glad it made me feel uncomfortable. It also made me feel like I wanted more. But I didnāt want more.
Iām grateful I found a nice sugar free banana, blueberry, recipe so I can make myself a treat for Thanksgiving.
Iām grateful again that my wife is trying to cut back on her drinking. Itās not the way I would do it but I will support her effort no matter how I really feel. Iām grateful that she has an awareness about the whole thing.
Iām grateful for another day. Sober, calm, flexible, and full of feelings that will come and go.
Iām grateful for my health.
Iām grateful for my family and pets.
Keep coming back
I am grateful nobody I know was trapped in the mudslides.
I am grateful I decided to do my grade 12 last year it has definitely helped with homeschooling my kiddo.
I am grateful that I was asked to give my old sponsor her cake and medallion last Sunday.
I am grateful that although I felt slightly nervous I just let the feelings pass. There were no feelings of being unworthy or useless.
I am grateful that a new friend in my homegroup asked me last week to give her cake to her this Thursday!
I am grateful for these two women, one has 17 years the other 19. They are both very strong women in my recovery who I can call, cry to, lean on, laugh with, learn from; I guess they both feel they can count on me.
I am grateful I had enough money to pay off my visa this month.
I am grateful that I have the ability to afford grooming for my dogs and massages for myself.
I am grateful that the Pain BC zoom classes are over that leaves me a couple weeks break before DBT starts.
I am very grateful I am headache free at the moment.
I am grateful that Chelle is at home and being taken care of by nurses.
Iām grateful for the break I gave myself from online activities and that I came back and read the 100+ posts I missed on this thread last night - grateful that you all share all the feels here and how living a sober life on lifeās terms through gratitude can work. Iām grateful for Miss Lupe keeping me company while my partner is away this week, and that she somehow fills the space in the bed that he leaves behind, all 45 pounds of her, and that I can watch the blankets over her rise and fall as she softly snores at night. Iām grateful for early morning wake up calls from a dog that needs to go potty and the sunrise peeking out over the rooftops. Iām grateful that Iāve made some space for myself and didnāt even really know how much I needed it, and that some calm before the storm of driving to visit family for a week is putting me in a better headspace to be present with them. Iām grateful we have the ability and time to go see them for an extended Thanksgiving and can bring Lupe with us. Iām grateful that although I donāt have anyone to water my houseplants, I do have some self watering systems and grow lights on a timer and will gratefully accept what awaits when we return. Iām grateful I still have a few days of respite and time to prepare before we hit the road.
Iām so grateful for the vulnerability you all show on this thread - thank you. Im grateful to be sober and in recovery from alcohol and mental health conditions. Always grateful for my amigos here.
Iām grateful for the day off today.
Itās my coworker girlfriends birthday today. Skipper was nice enough to give us the day off.
My last day off, I crashed my drone. It was a low slow crash. I was filming on the beach and I hit a sand dune. Sand got into the camera gimbal and it was sticking. I was able to fix it last night.
Iām grateful I didnāt have to send it in to have it fixed.
The wind is dropping and this afternoon is going to be a rare windless day on the cape and even more rare for me to have the day off while itās happening.
I have to go to Bandon and cash my paycheck. Conditions will be nice for filming my favorite stretch of beach.
Itās going to be an epic day off! Iām grateful Iām not drunk and will be enjoying it on a natural high.
My bills are paid and this paycheck will all go into savings for my boat. It will make me 2/3 of the way there.
Crabbing is looking like it will be opening on December 1st.
The official test has verified what we already knew. Thereās crab and they are ready to harvest.
Iām not going to get a break before the season starts. Being so close to having all the money for my boat makes me grateful for the early start.
We are all baited up, the gear is ready. This weekend we will do boat maintenance, and install all the crabbing equipment. Next week will be easy. Iāll be watching all the other boats rushing to get ready. Iām grateful we are more prepared than any other boat on the dock.
Crabbing potentially big money, and big money brings out the worst in people. Itās cut throat competition.
Iām the oldest crabber on the dock now. The oldest crabber died a three years ago. Meth took him to an early grave. His heart gave up on him near the end of the season. He died running gear. He was a nice guy. 57 years old.
Iām 53 and I feel great. Clean and serene. My body is healing. I may retire from crabbing after this season.
Iām hoping I can make enough money salmon and tuna fishing that I can focus on my art during the winter.
Thatās the sober life Iām creating. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy thinking about it!
It overflows my gratitude cup!
Grateful today for:
Essential oils and warm baths
Day 4 of sobriety
My love of learning
TS
I am grateful I can walk. I am happy I dragged myself out and had a walk in the fresh air for roughly 2.5 h. I am grateful I am not scared walking in the dark, in the woods.
I am grateful my weekend seminar was cancelled due to illness. So, hopefully I catch up a bit with the rest of the course.
