Grateful for 110 days sober. Grateful for my doctor who has been following me closely during my early months of sobriety with labs and EKGs. This week was my first time with both all within normal limits. I cried, of course, and thanked him; to which his reply was, “it has been you going to meetings and doing the work”, which just made my cry harder. He doesn’t realize that without his referrals to a psychiatrist, a therapist, a GI doc, a heart doc, and monthly labs that I’d never had made it this far. For today I’m grateful to be sober.
Just look at you
So happy for ya Jules.
Our bodies can be amazing healers.
Congrats on the 110
@Dazercat thank you so much! When I first came here you had shared similar transformations of healing and I’ve always remembered that as a goal. Thanks for all your continued support and positivity!

Good evening all,
I’m grateful to be done with work for the week. I’m grateful that I am tired, and tried to work out, but ultimately I just stopped and stretched and took a hot shower. I’m grateful for hot showers. I’m grateful for the plate of Thanksgiving leftovers that I just demolished. I’m grateful for the hours spent with my mom, sister, Granny, and my daughter preparing the food yesterday. I’m grateful for H.A.L.T.- turns out I’m hungry and tired a lot of the time😏. Im grateful to see so many of us made it through this holiday sober. Im grateful that we will all be here for those who may have slipped, when they are ready to come back. Im grateful for TS and this thread. Im grateful for the hot chocolate I will have shortly complete with frothy milk thanks to the new milk frother my mom got me. She really is the best mom. Im grateful to have her to learn from and look up to.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Hi!
I am grateful to God
I am grateful for sobriety
I am grateful for my family
I am grateful for Life Rebuilders
In that order
I am grateful that I was able to laugh with my family yesterday
I am grateful that when people tell me they are proud of me I feel less like “just wait”
I am grateful my kids are safe
And as always I am grateful for you
Good morning, gratidudes - nice to see all of your inspiring shares, especially since the holidays can be particularly tough on sobriety. I am truly grateful for so much and not sure where to begin, but, nevertheless, shebabbles…I am grateful for the Thanksgiving that went awry. Instead of a stressed out day filled with timers and red faced nervousness about when to do what, Thanksgiving as we knew it was canceled and I spent a quiet day caring for my mom with a couple of amazing visits from my brother. I am grateful for the make shift meals we shared, and the hot chocolate on the patio in blankets. I am grateful for my little-now-big boy who has said some of the most loving things to me this week that I’ve ever heard. I am grateful je’ll be with me full time for several instead of half time while his dad and sm are transitioning into a new home. I am grateful to have attempted to start to date again with a new perspective and level of self worth and love. My red flag meter is strong and active! I am so grateful for Eric reaching out and grateful to see all of you lovely sober people. I am so grateful to have had a sober Thanksgiving and intend to stay that way one day at a time.
Good morning to all of you!
I’m grateful for all that I’ve been learning since I launched this little project for myself. Sobriety is not as hard as I thought it would be because I’ve learned so many strategies to help me cope. I’ve learned them from reading books and websites and from reading so many posts. I’m truly grateful to keep adding strategies to my toolbox.
I’m grateful to be in a time in my life when I can focus on this without too much other stress. Over the past 30 years I’ve always been in a tougher spot than I am now. I’m grateful for the peaceful chapter I have now and the time to work on this.
I’m grateful also to be aware that this chapter won’t last forever. I need to prepare myself and my sobriety for the tougher times that will undoubtedly happen again. This is why I’m learning and saving up information and strategies. When life throws me lemons, I want to be ready to make lemonade and be able to continue to leave the booze alone.
I’m grateful to have a warm and safe and loving home.
I wish you all peace and health today. Today is day 30 for me and I never would have made it here without the support of friends and family, both in person and in this community.
Have a great day!
I’m grateful to God please help lovingly guide me through another day while remaining clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery and all the challenges and blessings it brings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for music and exercise. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for group hugs. I’m grateful for cheap coffee. I’m grateful I have been sleeping well. I’m grateful that its time to crank up the shower radio and dance and sing while cleaning up for work. I’m grateful to be nervous for a busy shift, apparently Saturdays are crazy busy, which they should be. I’m grateful for the principles and tools I have learned in recovery and thst I can apply them, they do work.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
p.p.s. congrats on your milestones
I’m grateful I slept in til 7:30 I guess I needed it.
I’m grateful to be warm.
I’m grateful for the love and support here at TS and especially this thread.
I’m grateful when I read about milestones. Because every fucken day we’re sober is a milestone. I know for me it is.
I’m grateful we went out to lunch yesterday so I still got that turkey sandwich waiting for me.
I’m grateful when I weighed in yesterday I didn’t gain any weight.
I’m grateful for all the little things in my life that I have and all my blessings. I’m truly blessed.
I’m grateful the rodent guy came yesterday and he went over the whole house and crawl space and didn’t see any activity and all the work they did last year still looks good. And he didn’t see any water under my house. Just normal dampness.
I’m grateful for the zoom call with my 2 girls yesterday. And grateful my son didn’t participate because he had a horrible headache. I mean I’m grateful for the decision he made and that he didn’t try to tough it out. Fuck headaches!!
I’m grateful on the call I learned something about my daughter and her chronic pain and how sensitive she is about it and how I might have been insensitive to it. I didn’t think I was. Neither did my wife. Even my wife said of all the people I would be the least insensitive to her pain. I’m grateful I know there is no right or wrong and all I can do is be more sensitive to her pain. Fuck chronic pain. I’m grateful for my daughter and all she teaches me. And calls me out. Especially when I clammed up and wasn’t talking. She said, “Dad you still think about that?” “We’re good.”
I’m grateful I came up with more gratitude because I didn’t really have much this morning and I feel better putting out here what I put out here.
I’m grateful I don’t have to cook tonight.
Silent gratitude isn’t very much to anyone.

I am grateful for the share this morning, where the lady showed the Under Armour building with the motto:
Today I’m grateful for snow! First snow this winter here. Didn’t last but I got pictures of my garden with snow in the morning
Grateful I did some grocery shopping for a friend who suffers from severe depression and generally is in bad health. Greateful I made them smile.
Grateful I watch the cats houseroughing or snorring or using me as pillow or sitting in a bag … they make me smile every day
Grateful I answered the phone and kept communication friendly but short with a drunk friend. I don’t feel comfortable when people call me drunk.
Grateful for the dishwasher, for the well stuffed fridge, for a warm bath my husband takes.
Grateful for H.A.L.T because I check in with Tired and feel nervous. So I go to bed really early today. My husband brought beer and I want to stay sober.
Ugh.
I broke my sobriety.
I’m so sorry.
I wanted to post. I also wanted to recede quietly into the background. Some place where I don’t have to face you all with this news. Didn’t want to think that I’d let you down, that perhaps my actions were triggering. That I might not be a healthy person for you or others to have in your lives.
I’m sorry if I’ve disappointed or triggered anyone.
I’ve learned a lot about myself in sobriety, but not always, or yet, how to make myself vulnerable. In the right ways. How to let others in, and who. And how to love myself first and foremost.
I’m grateful I get to learn this, damned hard though it is.
I’m grateful it’s not too late to pick myself back up.
I know I have to be able to stand alone in my sobriety. But right now, I know I can’t do this alone.
I’m grateful for all of you. For the deep concern from others. Showing me and telling me I’m worth it when I don’t have those words for myself. Thank you for your posts and PMs.
Onward.
We’re all here for you Onward indeed!
You brought tears to my eyes Emm. Wish I had your writing talent so I could put into words what I feel, but I don’t. Life can be hard, and none of us have it all figured out.
I love you and I’m glad you came back here.
Always onward❤️
I’m grateful for you M
No one triggers me. I trigger myself if I let myself.
I can’t imagine not having our gratidudette namesake in our lives. We need you on this gratitude wall with us.
It’s good you are back again. One… day at a time.
