I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I remembered about “muting and ignoring” on here instead of engaging in something that would be unproductive and cause the moderators unnecessary work.
I’m grateful maybe I’ll remember to use this feature sooner next time instead of trying to figure out if I should engage or not.
NOT!
I’m grateful Alice won’t leave me alone. I guess sometimes she just needs her daddy. I’m grateful she seems ok. I’ll be more grateful when we finally get that urine culture back hopefully today .
I’m grateful I don’t try to rush things. Most of the time. I’m getting so much better at it.
I’m grateful we had fun watching the SAG Awards last night. Bring on the Oscars. I’m grateful CODA won a few awards. I’m grateful for my hearing. I’m grateful I can appreciate how hard it must be for a deaf cast to win an award.
I’m grateful for the handicaps my family had when I was growing up, it’s made me more aware and emphatic to other peoples struggles, especially the ones that are not so obvious to the eye. I’m grateful for my sister who had MS and I learned a lot from her struggles.
I’m grateful I did all I could to help her. She was my favorite person in the world. 🥲🤗 Love you Susan.
I’m grateful I still have no idea where I’m going with gratitude when I do my list. I’m grateful I just know if I start it with a few basic things my heart and my God will take over and I will be filled with a treasure of unexpected gratitude and that will keep me sober. I got and have had so much in life that I am grateful for. I’m grateful for unexpected tears of gratitude and the way they fill my heart and soul.
Fucking Susan! Get out of my head! She would appreciate that. I grateful she was an artist in profanity. I’m grateful for all the road trips to the mountains we use to take. And all the last minute unplanned camping we use to do. Shit. I’m stuck.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful for love.
I’m grateful I know what love is.
I’m grateful I can still love someone when they’re gone.
I smile because your my brother.
I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it.
An embroidered pillow she got me that I’ll never give up.
I am grateful to be going into the night sober; I’m worried I won’t sleep, but that’s nothing compared to the other…
I have a pint of clean water, I am grateful I can take this from a functioning tap whenever I want.
I’m grateful for being able to be honest about my illness
I’m grateful for kind people in this world
For now, that’s plenty.
Today I am grateful for friends. Lately I’ve been a bit rubbish at keeping in touch with my friends, I’ve got out of the habit of meeting up and making the effort. But today I phoned my friend, it was so nice to speak to her and things were good between us. And another friend has been in touch to meet up and I will get together soon. It’s so easy to fall into the ‘I can’t be bothered’ mindset for me but I totally realise how important friends are. I need to put the work in!!
Thanks for being here xx
I’m grateful that I have true compassion for others. Had I not known trauma, I’m sure I would still have that compassion, but it may not have come as easily for me. I’m grateful I’m able to put a definition to pain and do my damnedest to support others and myself.
I’m grateful I’m here. I’m grateful I’ve quit putting all my eggs in one basket. I did that again and again in my past and all it got me was grief. I’m grateful that I give of myself to as many as I’m able, and I’m also grateful I know when enough is enough. I’m grateful I take care of me first now.
I’m grateful for music and meditation. I’m grateful for those little nudges from the universe that keep me on the right path.
I’m grateful for grace that I have learned over time.
I’m grateful that I was given the gift of voice and language. I’m grateful I have one. I’m grateful that I’m learning that it’s okay to use it. When I was little I was left completely alone in every single moment of my emotional distress. While it taught me to be self sufficient and independent. It gave me a near crippling anxiety for reaching out when I’m in distress. I created beautiful worlds where I was given emotional support and reassurance that I was not given in real life. I’m grateful I have a real one now. I’m grateful in my sobriety that I’ve started to overcome that crippling fear. That I’m finding my people. That I’m reaching out for help. That I’m finding I’m worthy of being taken care of too. Of emotional support. Of caring. I’m grateful I use my voice to protect others. I’m grateful I use it to name my feelings, to get to the bottom of them. I’m grateful I always put myself in someone else’s shoes. I’m grateful it helps me come from a place of love and understanding. I’m grateful for my people here. You are like rocks to me. Like family. I have been able to share pieces of me that I never believed I could. I’m grateful I can honestly say that I know what it means to heal caverns in my soul that started forming when I was just a little girl. I’m grateful that I have you all to thank for giving me the permission to reach out and that you never made me feel weak for doing so.
I’m grateful that Ian is feeling better. I’m grateful for a slight break in the heat. I’m grateful Ian and I both love cooking and taking care of one another. I’m grateful he’s taught me I can receive, I don’t always have to give.
I’m grateful for long walks. I’m grateful for peace rallies. I’m grateful that we get to choose every day to make the world a kinder, more beautiful place.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a warm, safe home full of love. I’m grateful for enough food for my family. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
The beautiful friendships I have made here… I really don’t feel so alone anymore.
Being able to get my new meds to help me balance my moods

I am grateful to you all.
I’m grateful the calm has found me again. Yesterday wasn’t too peachy. I’m grateful for my mind’s ability to process. It’s a wonderful feeling to think about things rather than just reacting. There is grace in that. My grandma would be proud of me.
I’m grateful for Ethan. I’m grateful he stays in touch and shares the music tracks he’s working on. That guy’s got talent! I’m grateful he’s doing well.
I’m grateful I’m watching the chicklets today. Hearing their squeals of laughter and seeing their excited little faces when I show up makes my whole day. I love them so much.

I’m grateful for so much more, but I’m off to get the girls. Y’all have a beautiful day.
I mentioned on here that I was struggling with depression and the urge to drink. I had been feeling down for a few weeks and I was pretty angry about it. Why should I feel depressed if I was doing everything right? Making all the recommended changes? It wasn’t fair.
But as I was talking to someone at AA about this, they shared their experience with me because it was similar. Hearing from someone who knew exactly what I was talking about was incredibly helpful and brought me alot of peace.
I’m grateful that I can accept the lows with the highs.
I’m grateful that I’m no longer angry at myself for being unhappy.
I’m grateful for sober communities where we can help each other get through these times.
And lastly, I’m grateful that now I can start focusing on others. I’ve been stuck in a cycle of self-pity, anger, and overall unhappiness. But there is alot to be grateful for I want to be better but I accept that it’s a process.
