I’m so happy to read that you are feeling relaxed on your trip. I think holiday visits and travel can be extra challenging for sobriety. I’m just in the first few weeks so I’m thinking about that a lot as we have this first round of holidays.
I am grateful to get to read about your journey. Thank you for sharing.
I’m grateful to have a warm and safe home.
I’m grateful to be on this journey of living well after ending my relationship with alcohol.
I am grateful for the concept of living alcohol free and how much I’m learning about it now that I’m working on it.
I’m grateful for some days away from my job and the economic security to be able to enjoy the time.
I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to interact with so many kind and caring people on their journey.
Peace!
Good morning from American Thanksgiving Day.
Today I am grateful for a day to focus on gratitude.
I am grateful my kids and I are going to see the Eternals. They’ll understand all kinds of backstory and have a great time the rest of the day filling me in on all things Marvel.
I am grateful that this will probably be the last time we celebrate Thanksgiving, moving our celebration to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, where we will spend the day learning about culture, foods, and history of those Native to America.
I am grateful to have both kids in my house, ready to eat vegetarian “stuffed turkey.”
I am grateful that my mother may not be coming in today (she lives about an hour from here). I know that’s not exactly nice. However, she’s not feeling well and I’d rather she rest and not bring in germies in. If she stays home, the kids and I will cook and dance in the kitchen. If she does, we’ll do the same. 
I will not resent her today, one way or the other.
I am so grateful for you.
I am grateful you brought up Indigenous People’s Day! I’m grateful I saw a post from NPR on Instagram about what the “original” Thanksgiving meal might have looked like: no wheat, no cane sugar and no dairy products. The dishes they described sounded delicious!
Good morning all,
Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating. I’m grateful that I slept in this morning- of course I would on a morning I need to get up and get going 
. I’m grateful to be going to spend time with my family, they are just amazing! I’m grateful that this morning is cloudy and drizzling, but the sun is coming up behind the clouds and it is beautiful. I’m grateful coffee and chai. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day 
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. I am so grateful for many things, but first and foremost for 264 days of sobriety. When I wake up tomorrow I will start the 100-day countdown to 1 full year. I am grateful for my family, friends, job, and this amazing group of people and so much more. But I would be really grateful for now is to have someone to help me cook all this food. 
But, I am even grateful to be hangover free and happy to cook the food for family and friends. Have a wonderful day all!
Today I’m grateful we don’t have to cook, since we are pushing our Thanksgiving meal to tomorrow. I’m grateful we have delicious smoked meats and sauce from a local smoke house…mmmm Kentucky BBQ is so good. I’m grateful my little girl Lupe is so well behaved and gentle with my niece and the worst thing she does is sit and stare and beg when we are eating. Oh, and obsessively sniff Maya’s butt - turns out her diaper was wet, good dog for indicating. I’m grateful we have been sleeping well with me on a day bed and my partner on the floor on some foam pads, he loves it, by the way. I’m grateful I woke up feeling great and not in the pain I was in last night with shoulder and neck tension from so much driving.
I’m grateful that Eric, my partner, truly feels like he is part of the family. His father died when he was 5 years old and he grew up with a lot of trauma, not just from the loss but also due to an abusive step father who came in the picture in middle school years, who the family was lucky to be rid of when Eric was a freshman in high school. I’m grateful for my loving and close knit family who accepted him and have loved him because I love him. And continue to love him and family visits are really lovely as a result. I’m grateful this visit is really what we needed and it’s all working out wonderfully.
Always grateful for my amigos here. 
Happy Thanksgiving,
I’m grateful every morning is Thanksgiving for me.
I’m grateful I don’t need a Holiday to to remind me to give thanks and gratitude.
I’m grateful for my second Thanksgiving sober.
I’m grateful I don’t have the stress of traditional family Thanksgivings to temp me to drink.
I’m grateful my wife is sleeping in. More quiet morning time with my devotionals and warm cat.
I’m grateful I get to really enjoy my morning times now.
I’m grateful I’ve always been a pretty good morning person. I’m grateful it’s much easier now that I’m sober and retired to do mornings.
I’m grateful for the phone calls from my kids to wish Kelly happy birthday. And the beautiful flower delivery from my son and his wife. The fancy dark chocolate peanut butter cups 
not so much. I’m grateful my wife told the kids not to send any more sweets because she’s the only one who eats them now. I’m grateful for the God given strength I have to be able to live with booze in my house and those fucking peanut butter cups. . Ya peanut butter and chocolate are probably my all time fave.
I’m grateful my daughter got her solar panels installed recently as they are having black outs in Cali because if the high Santa Anna winds. So she has some electricity.
I’m grateful I don’t envy and get all angry anymore because I can’t drink like a normie. I’m grateful I actually haven’t felt that way for awhile now. Good for them
I’m grateful today. I don’t want to drink.
I’m grateful tomorrow. I probably won’t want to drink either.
I’m grateful for my house and home and pets and family and heat and my fireplace, and my cars, and electricity, and plumbing, and healthy old cat and dog. And I’m especially grateful for all the gratitudes and this amazing thread on TS.
I’m grateful for my first family and how I was raised.
I’m especially grateful for the love of my older sister that I still cherish in my heart after all these years. I still love you Susan And think about you most days.
There is always something to be grateful for.
P Graham Dunn
Ooh almost forgot.
Grateful for tuna dip and Fritos later.
Today I’m grateful for a warm house and chill outside. Grateful for my dear, lovely cats. Grateful for my well stocked food storage so I can stay at home AND cook a delicious meal. Grateful for competent colleagues. Grateful I did some wash-up and dusting today 
Grateful for twa. Grateful for the awareness when I have to pause and the conistency to continue when I gained energy back. Grateful I don’t feel exhausted today! Grateful I will be to bed early today.
I’m grateful for recovery. It gives me 365 days a year to reflect on things I’m thankful for.
I grew up in an extremely abusive family. My step dad never let me fit into his family. The holidays always made me feel like I was missing something.
I used to step up my drinking on holidays. The emotional pain got worse during the holidays. It required more booze.
I’m grateful I don’t live like that anymore.
This year is different. I feel inner peace today. I’m grateful for that.
I had an awesome photography adventure yesterday. No wind. Awesome sky. Magical sunrise and sunset.
I’m grateful to be able to enjoy those now. As a drunk I was too shit faced to do anything positive in the evenings. Mornings were not my friend.
I’m probably going to have dinner at my best friends house today. There will be drinking there.
I’ll feed my face and bail out. The weather looks good for an epic sunset tonight.
I’m going to get my chores done and enjoy my time off. Tomorrow is my last day off for a while. The grind begins.
I’m feeling calm and focused about this crab season.
We put our crab gear next to the Keta. She is keeping me focused on why I don’t drink.
Pay day is getting closer. She is going to be mine!
Professional Salmon fisher has been my favorite job title for a while… Im about to change that to Sober Skipper. Her last two owners were drunks. This was my boss’s starter boat. He sold it to another drunk. He has drunk himself into poor health. That why he is selling her. He still drinks…
Im grateful I found the strength to quit!
Happy Thanksgiving! First, I am thankful for 8 days of sobriety. Second, I am thankful for my family, the list goes on and on. I have a warm home, food, a job, friends, and two sassy cats.
I choose life and joy today.
I don’t normally post on here but I’m always reading everyone’s gratitude for inspiration. Today I must say I’m grateful for heat especially on a holiday. Our furnace has been on the fritz over the past week with temperatures in the 20’s and 30’s. Brrrr! Hubby has changed every part possible and as of last night it finally started working. Having a warm comfortable night of sleep was much needed. I haven’t thought about drinking in a long time but I was put to the test. Constantly thinking a few shots would warm me up but knowing where that would lead kept me from going down that road. I’ll save the rest of my gratitude to share with family at dinner later. Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends.
Happy Thanksgiving Lisa.
I’m grateful for all you contribute here.
I’m grateful you got heat too.
Stay warm.
There is a place is Minneapolis in Native Land. It’s a restaurant and the only serve decolonized food. We weren’t able to go because they are always booked. I want to, though.
Maybe we could meet up there sometime!
Thank you, Eric. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Wish Kelly a belated Happy Birthday for me. 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone 
Today I am thankful for all of you. For being sober. It’s my favorite Thanksgiving I can remember in a long time. I’m thankful for Ian and my friends. I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful I got the day off from work. Im thankful for my fur babies. I’m thankful the meal turned out yummy. I wish I could fully express what you all mean to me. Thank you for being my sober family. Thank you for always being here. Thank you for helping save me. Sending all the love
Good morning all!
I’m so grateful to be alcohol free for 28 days and to have successfully navigated the territories of Thanksgiving without any booze! Yay!!!
I’m grateful to be clear headed and well rested on this early Friday morning with 3 more days of the Thanksgiving break.
I’m grateful for libraries and the freedom to read so many books for free.
I’m grateful for my kind and loving family. It has been a very very long journey from my abusive childhood to this morning. I’m so proud of my sons having grown into kind and loving men despite the family dysfunctions.
I’m grateful for a loving husband. He is my soulmate and even tho we have been drinking buddies, he is being just the kind of supportive I need. And he’s reducing his use significantly along the way.
I’m grateful to have a very fulfilling career that not only provides enough financial support to live comfortably, but more importantly, feeds my soul and inspires me to be a better person.
I’m grateful to have lived long enough to have had many amazing and several terrible experiences that are feeding me some wisdom. I’m a woman who has come through some shit and am proud to be getting older and humbly finding peace in the pursuit of wisdom and health. I hope to live a long time with this lens, having worked hard to cast off the suffocating masks of anxiety, anger, fear, and insecurity.
I’m grateful to have pretty good health and the opportunity to work on improving myself to better love and serve others. I mostly love to serve others because it makes me feel good. So actually, it’s a selfish goal. Hehehe
I’m grateful to have found so much support and so many resources in online platforms like this. People may say many negative things about social media, but this is definitely an area of amazing human community and I’m grateful to be able to access it from the comfort of my home anytime, day or night. This is really quite amazing.
I wish you all peace!
I’m grateful for the lovely 2nd sober, kind of boring, but perfect, Thanksgiving Day I had yesterday. And I’m grateful I feel pretty darn good this morning. As always grateful no hangover this morning. And grateful I still got my 106 days of no added sugar.
I’m grateful my wife didn’t have to make pies yesterday for just the 2 of us. I’m grateful I got my fat ass out for a walk yesterday afternoon after the feast and during a game. I’m grateful I didn’t eat too much. But I did still feel stuffed . I guess I’m getting old or maybe I just don’t eat like I use to, since I lost all that weight.
I’m grateful for the leftover turkey sandwich in my future. Grateful like Ross on that Friends episode 
I’m grateful for TS and Twitter and how you both help keep me sober yesterday even if I might have spent too much time on line. I’m grateful my Twitter use is now mostly for the good and support and caring of others like us. I’m grateful to have switched my focus to the good and kindness and fun stuff on Twitter. I’m grateful it’s out there if you seek it.
I’m grateful one of the kids is putting together a zoom call this afternoon. If she remembers. 
I’m grateful my son put together a beautiful looking spread for his new or second family in Dallas that he and his wife hosted. And I only got 2 phone calls for help. I’m grateful he can call his Dad like that.
I’m grateful I can always answer the phone now sober. Especially when it’s one of my children. It still brings tears to my eyes, right now, because this was not always the case. I know I’m not alone. But it’s just hard to imagine ignoring a phone call from your child because you didn’t know if you were sober enough to talk to them. 🥲 That’s almost the best benefit of being sober. 🥲
Love you guys.
Be thankful for today, because in one moment your entire life can change.
Some meme from #recovery poses
What a beautiful share.
I’m happily grateful for your amazing first AF Thanksgiving. I know you’ve been around some but welcome again to this fabulous thread.
I’m glad you’re here.
