Good Saturday morning, all.
I am SOOOOOO grateful that I didnā€™t drink yesterday. There were points that I was so certain that I was going to do it that it was already done in my head. I had to get hold of myself and remind myself not to panic and that nothing was done yet. It was then a case of leaning on this beautiful community and allowing the knowledge that I didnā€™t want to drink to override the impulses.
I am grateful for the expression, ā€˜No matter how far I go down this road, I am always the same distance from the gutterā€™. So, so true. It ran around my head a few times yesterday.
Grateful to have been taught an important lesson yesterday evening. At the dinner party, I spoke to a guy that I had spoken to 3 or 4 times before - always when I was drunk. I had it in my head that I didnā€™t like him so much. It turns out that drunken me couldnā€™t see what a good guy he was/is. I love finding a new reason to enjoy sobriety, even after 334 days.
Grateful to be turning 51 years young today, and feeling better than I did when I turned 41. I finally understand the expression ā€˜A new lease of lifeā€™, and am delighted to be talking about me.
Grateful to celebrate 11 months of sobriety yesterday. Milestones mess with me, but they also drag us through, at times. A small part of not drinking yesterday was that I didnā€™t want to be the guy who fell off the wagon at 11 months when he was so close to a year.
Have a great day, all. :blue_heart:

Iā€™m grateful to be up at 5:30am and ready to make the most out of my Saturday. Iā€™m grateful that while Iā€™ve been feeling lonely lately I am most definitely not alone. Iā€™m grateful that if I just push myself to show up, or to reach out, I can get the support I need.

Iā€™m grateful to hear all of your sobriety accomplishments.

Congratulations @JasonFisher very excited for you! Your photography is always stunning by the way. I just started a photography class to get to know my camera a bit better. I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing except that I really enjoy finding beauty in my environment in sobriety, helps with the gratitude.

Happy Saturday morning!

Iā€™m grateful to wake up early, refreshed and well-rested on this Saturday morning after enjoying a Friday evening with no alcohol!

Iā€™m grateful for the progress I was able to make on my overwhelming work projects. I did have the experience of good energy all day, every day. My productivity was good!

Iā€™m grateful to have an amazing colleague at work who is stepping up to help me with these projects.

Iā€™m grateful to be learning so much about how to relax in the evenings without alcohol. Next up will be a vacation without alcohol in a couple of weeks.

Iā€™m grateful for a warm and safe home.
Have a great day and I wish you peace!

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.

I am grateful that I have been up since 5am and it has been 13 hours since my booster and I only have a slightly sore arm.

I m grateful that I am learning how to redirect my energy which can turn into anxiety. Exercise and a meeting will help me get that feeling out today not alcohol.

I am grateful that I got a good sleep last night and that I donā€™t have to do anything today if I am not up for it.

I am grateful to be here with all yaā€™ll. :two_hearts:

Good morning all,
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, so time to find gratitude.
Iā€™m grateful that I have a home to clean, and people in it who love me. Iā€™m grateful that I have a job that lets me keep this home, buy the supplies to clean it, and the workout equipment that I will use when Iā€™m done with chores. Iā€™m grateful for Christmas lights inside, and soon to be outside of my house. Iā€™m grateful that there will be hot tea, chai, hot chocolate, and a variety of bubble waters when I want a beverage. Iā€™m grateful for clean bedding and clothes. Iā€™m grateful for my husband. Iā€™m grateful for my kids. Iā€™m grateful for my dogs and rabbit. Iā€™m grateful to be sober.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:
(Morninā€™ Eric, I see you up there making your listā˜€ļø

Iā€™m grateful the heater just click off a few minutes ago and I can be in the quiet stillness of the morning listening to Minnie breathe and the sounds of the house.
Iā€™m grateful Benson is on my lap.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™ll be getting my booster this evening.
Iā€™m grateful I have my reformer instruction today.
Iā€™m grateful we get another beautiful weather day down here or up here in the mountains.
Iā€™m grateful I got my late afternoon walk in yesterday.
Iā€™m grateful I can share my feelings here.

Iā€™m grateful my son and his wife are going to have a baby.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m going to be a grandpa or maybe grampy?
Iā€™m grateful, that I feel terrified, about the whole situation and grateful Iā€™m not going to start drinking about it. ( this is where yā€™all can bail if you want. Bit of a rant ahead.) I know Iā€™m suppose to be happy. But, fuck how Iā€™m ā€œsupposeā€ to feel!! I feel terrified for that baby. Thatā€™s how I feel! The way the world is now and everything going on here in my country and well, thereā€™s this pandemic :grimacing: that apparently we will live with for ever :grimacing:. And just knowing, I shouldnā€™t watch the news, and I hardly ever do, doesnā€™t mean this shit isnā€™t happening. Did I mention climate change yet? FUCK !! I better not go on much more. But you all know what I mean. Iā€™ve been a pretty big activist the past 6ish years and Iā€™m just afraid.
Iā€™m grateful I will not drink about it.
Iā€™m grateful I can let my feelings out here with yā€™all.
Iā€™m grateful my best friend, my only friend from childhood, is already a grandpa just recently, and I get to talk to him soon. He said by text Iā€™m going to love it.
So Iā€™m going to have to pull out the big guns. And let God do his thing.
And God is already doing His thing in my life when I read this in Living Clean first thing this morning.
Surrender means having the open-mindednesses to see things in a new way, as well as the willingness to live differently.
:pray:t2::heart:
God grant me the courage to surrender even more and continue to have even more of an open mind to see things in a new way.

Iā€™m grateful yā€™all are here.
Letā€™s go out and get another sober day together. Whoā€™s with me?
:pray:t2::heart:

Iā€™m grateful to God. Iā€™m grateful for pets and the joy they bring. Iā€™m grateful for plants, even the little one in my room. Iā€™m grateful for music and exercise and how they work so well together. Iā€™m grateful to read your struggles and successes it inspires me, you guys rock. Struggles as small as waking up irritable, to making your bed, as big as dealing with death one day, and life another, and doing all this while learning to live without our booze or drugs, we are pretty bad ass in my opinion.

Iā€™m grateful for a moment to check in.

I just took a three hour nap. I have to go offload crab in 20 minutes. Itā€™s been epic! We moved some gear into better fishing. And filled the boat again. Iā€™m grateful.

Our nice weather is still going strong. So am I. I am grateful.

I just checked the weather and the 11th looks like the weather might give me a day off.

Keep grinding!

Good morning familyā€¦

I am grateful for the opportunity to experience the richness of everyoneā€™s lives through an app.
I am grateful for the book I am reading and how it mentions rapture as being pure gratitude,that it is the " willing engagement with the whole messy miracle of life." I am grateful for the people who are willing to go deep into the darkness to sit with themselves in order to eventually rise out of the ashes.
I am grateful for the people who shared at the meeting last night. I often find that a good 'ol small town AA meeting is just what the doctor ordered. Plenty of clean time there and those people are happy with their coffee and pockets full of cookies. ā€œItā€™s a simple programā€¦ā€ I am always reminded.
I am grateful that I reached out for advice yesterday and got exactly what I needed.
Someone reached out to me, bit the bullet, used her phone list and made a new friend. Addicts helping addicts, we canā€™t do this alone.
