Today Iā€™m very grateful to waking up sober. To have achieved one week being sober since for me the hardest part are the first days. For my kids that are so innocent. For my husband. For my family in general. For being healthy.

Grateful for a calm morning. Not even Paula sitting on the fence of the balcony shocked me too much. The sticky things give her support up there. This was not the plan. Weā€™ll, itā€™ll be a net then.
Grateful to be sober. Grateful for having an apartment without mold. I have heating. I am happy I am vaccinated so I wonā€™t have to test and pay for it at work, starting with this next week.

Going again to the cinemas this afternoon before lockdown. Have to catch up a bit.

Grateful I wonā€™t stress about it as sobriety is a piece of freedom no one can take away from me. And itā€™s much more worth than anything else.

I am sorry to hear about the upcoming lockdown. I suppose it goes into the ā€œthings we cannot controlā€ category. Wishing you strength and positivity and hoping the restrictions will be brief.

This morning I am grateful for waking up without a hangover and puke-y tummy. A friend recently commented on my complexion and I know my skin looks brighter because I am sober.
I am grateful for being up before the sun so I could see the shining full moon in all its glory before its was dimmed by the daylight.
I am grateful for my home, which is everything I wished for when we decided to move across the country. It is old and solid, it has stories.
I am grateful for quiet time with coffee, dogs and cats, in front of the fire before the rest of the house wakes up and the chaos of the day begins.
I am grateful for my friend who sends me early morning memes to start my day off with a laugh.
I am grateful for good books.
I am grateful for you all, and for your gratitudes.

I love this. This is absolute truth. Thank you, Franzi.

Today Iā€™m grateful for old friends and new ones, for my partner getting home safely from a successful work trip, that my new haircut looks good even after a shampoo (though nothing like the sleek salon look!), that I slept really great last night and feel back to myself, that Iā€™m picking up a box of fall vegetables at the indoor winter farmers market this morning to take to my family, and that I will be seeing them Monday evening. Canā€™t wait. Iā€™m grateful itā€™s only been a few months since I saw them last - nothing like the year and a half apart we had to endure - and that itā€™s relatively easy to get to them. Iā€™m grateful to feel really good and peaceful this morning, my partner and pup snoring away while I got my day started early. Quiet early morning watching the world light up out my window.

Always grateful for my amigos here. :heartpulse:

Good morning all,
Iā€™m grateful itā€™s the weekend and no work! Iā€™m grateful that work is busy and I donā€™t have to worry about working enough hours to pay my bills. Iā€™m grateful that I no longer feel like I have to prove anything to myself or others by working the longest, the hardest, the fastest, etc. I can just work, do my best, and thatā€™s enough.
Iā€™m grateful for a clean home. Iā€™m grateful for food, hot showers, beautiful houseplants and flowers. Iā€™m grateful for this day.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Good morning Sunflower :sunflower:
Iā€™m grateful for my nice warm Daisy on my lap.
Iā€™m grateful for all the love and joy of my cats and dogs this morning. And every moment I see them.
Iā€™m grateful the heat is on and the cats find new places to hang and look so adorable especially in the breakfast nook.
Iā€™m grateful wifey got up early so we can get our dogs walked before my Pilates workout with my trainer. Iā€™m grateful I got in 2 workouts on my own in this week before I see her.
Iā€™m grateful for 3 afternoon evening walks I took this week so far with different music on and the beautiful sunset I saw behind my house as I was walking my trail in the ponderosas pines. Iā€™m grateful this could be a new routine. Iā€™m grateful I think Iā€™ve walked off all the queso and meat I ate in Austin and Iā€™m back pretty near goal weight range. Iā€™m grateful I havenā€™t stressed out about gaining weight. I will not gain it all back like I use to because I donā€™t drink anymore and my inhibitions wonā€™t be relax and I wonā€™t be stuffing my face with food while I drink, thinking itā€™s keeping me sober.
Iā€™m grateful for the lime Rickyā€™s I made last night while cooking my pork chops.
Iā€™m grateful for my new cashmere beanie I wear in the house as soon as I get up. I keeps me nice and warm. Iā€™m I think Iā€™ve figured that out after all these years. Keeping the head warm, which I knew, seems to be keeping the rest of my body, not so cold. Iā€™ve always just thought it silly to wear a knit beanie in the house. Ya, well, guys donā€™t need to know all this but Iā€™m grateful to be warm presently.
Iā€™m grateful to God for all my blessings.
Which includes you.

Thatā€™s huge Sunshine girl!! Iā€™m so happy for you and grateful you are here. Great job. We all know how hard that first week is. Iā€™m grateful for ODAATs and reading your accomplishment as it is a great reminder for me that I never want to do that first week again.

I am grateful I never lost my life to addiction
I am grateful I never lost my life to suicide.
I am grateful my family never gave up on me.
I am grateful I have made all of my direct amends I needed to from this set of steps and now can just focus on my living amends from here on out.
I am grateful that it is the weekend and to be going for dinner tonight with my family.
I am grateful that I have enough money to buy people small gifts because it makes me feel so good inside.
I am grateful that when I donā€™t have the money that I will still be able to write letters and that will be just as special.
I am grateful for the heartache I feel, itā€™s my body telling me something is wrong and I need to keep moving forward. I am grateful that I am thinking about sitting in these feeling this time even though I donā€™t really know how to. I am grateful I have therapy on Monday and maybe I can get some help.
I am grateful that my friend was able to save her rescue farm animals from their flooded barn in Abbotsford. They had one casualty, her name was ā€œChickenā€, she was a chicken and she didnā€™t make it. I am grateful for the help she is receiving to house her animals until she can figure out what to do. They are homeless and scared.
The world right now is showing me all that I have to be grateful for, so that I can pull my head out of my ass and get over myself. My life is amazing and I know that.

Thank you for being a huge part of my daily recovery.

I am grateful for going to bed and waking up sober.
I am grateful that I am still making my bed first thing, even though I donā€™t know how many days itā€™s been.
I am grateful for the burst of energy and a desire to bake. 1. I generally donā€™t bake because measuring feels tedious. 2. I like savory breakfasts. 3. Both of those are void because I stood in the kitchen with kiddo and s(he) measured and I guessed and it came out great.
I am grateful for sunshine. I am going to embrace every day that my face doesnā€™t hurt because itā€™s comingā€¦oh, itā€™s comingā€¦ :snowman_with_snow: :cold_face:

I am grateful for you, you lovely people.

Good morning all,
Iā€™m grateful for quiet early mornings and hot coffee. Iā€™m grateful for a day full of possibilities, and not a recovering day from to much on a Saturday night. Iā€™m grateful for plans to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year- Iā€™m partly being selfish because spending it with them takes all the stress off of me hosting, and Iā€™m partly very very grateful to spend the time with them- itā€™s my Dads favorite holiday, and with his fairly recent health concerns, I really feel the need to spend time with them. Iā€™m grateful for the sunrise. Iā€™m grateful for you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Iā€™m grateful for another day that I donā€™t have to, Hell, I donā€™t want to drink.
Iā€™m grateful to learn that ODAAT works for me but there are other ways to do this, recovery, and Iā€™m grateful to be learning that. But I am grateful ODAAT is working for me.
Iā€™m grateful for the Christian music thread.
Iā€™m grateful for a little change up in my Sunday morning routine. And grateful for the change up in my afternoon routine. Walking and listening to completely different playlists that I havenā€™t listened to in a really long time. Iā€™m grateful changing things up, just a little bit, here and there, is helping me each day so far.
Iā€™m grateful itā€™s Daisyā€™s turn on my lap this morning.
Iā€™m grateful Minnie took over the bed in front of the fireplace last night.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m up early enjoying my piece and quiet and the couple of worship songs I listened to.
Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t have to cook last night and the scallops I ordered were cooked perfectly.
Iā€™m grateful for Sunday football most of the day and evening and weā€™ve incorporated soup day into it.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m going to make another early run to the store this morning for fresh bread and just a couple of things for the soup dinner tonight. Again, a big change of my routine.
Iā€™m grateful itā€™s not 3 degrees here this morning M :cold_face: I hope your not frozen.
Iā€™m grateful we get another day. And generally sunny and cold here that always warms up to really perfect cool temps.
Iā€™m grateful to have seen Brian up in the noose bleed seats last night at the game. Looks like you could not have gone farther back.
Iā€™m grateful for all the recovery, the support, the love, the fun, the food and pets and nature and selfies and even the sadness, and gloom we can all share here at TS and on this Great Thread, with each other and be just a part of it. And know someone out there genuinely cares and loves and supports us back. And laughs with us and celebrates with us. And can cry with us too.
Iā€™m grateful I found this app 688 days ago.

Today Iā€™m grateful for the sunshine that woke me up, meaning that I slept in and slept great! That I had a really wonderful day with my partner yesterday after our week apart and we were feeling really amorous and sentimental, too, telling stories about when we first met and the early days of our love story. That my little girl is adamant that we need to walk NOW and doing her prancy dance with her nails clickety clacking and so I must cut this short. Grateful to be getting ready at a leisurely pace today to hit the road before dawn tomorrow!

Always grateful for my amigos here. :heartpulse:
