I’m grateful I woke up to a flag this morning :grimacing: it always bothers me when I get a flag for a meme. It’s never my intention to offend anyone. And I feel bad that I did. But I’m grateful after thinking about the meme It certainly could have offended some people and I’m sorry. :pray:t2: And I’ve taken it down promptly.

I was very grateful this morning for my peace and quiet time with God before I turned on the light to read my 2 books. This morning I just didn’t want to turn on that light. It was so comforting sitting in the dark with the glow of the fire being all peaceful like. I know if I turn my light on to read my devotionals my day is really going to begin. And that’s ok. But I really love my time with just me and God. I’m grateful to recognize that feeling.

I’m grateful for another great nights sleep. Ten minute meditation before bed. Coffee. No hangover. Up at just before 6. Perfect :coffee: happy cats and dogs.
I’m grateful I’m sober ALL the time now as I can be :100: in tune for my old pets. Especially Minnie. She needs to go out more often.

I’m grateful for my new chiropractor he helped me a lot yesterday. I’m grateful for my Pilates reformer workout I’m going to have this afternoon and tell my new trainer how I think I got hurt last week. I’m grateful for lunch at home today.

I’m grateful I’m reading more about codependency. I really look forward to reading my new book in the morning. Ok. So I don’t think I’m as bad a codependent as I thought I was yesterday. I reckon we all have codependent tendencies in us. I’m grateful I can recognize the days in the past where I was a raging codependent and I’m certainly no way near that. Thank God :pray:t2:

I’m grateful for my first hand knowledge of addiction through my recovered children :grimacing: and my knowledge of codependent tendencies. I’m grateful I can recognize my mother was a codependent child of a raging alcoholic parent. And I married a wonderful lady who is also a codependent child of a raging alcoholic.

I’m grateful for the similarities in our gratitude lists and our differences. I’m grateful for you all.
:pray:t2::heart: :ukraine:

Hope is free,
But despair can cast you
Everything that’s good.

61 days sober. 61!! It’s amazing, it truly is. I’m not coming here often because I’m really not struggling. I don’t know how or why I’m not struggling, but I’m just not.

I know I will, many times for the rest of my life, have moments of struggle with continuing sobriety but I don’t right now and I’m grateful for that above anything else.

I’m grateful to be starting my second month off my shop being open.

I’m grateful the first month, even with it’s bizarre twists, was better than I could have hoped.

I’m grateful I’m not hormonal depressed right now.

I’m grateful new dog is sleeping.

I’m grateful for this group and my life and my sobriety.

I’m grateful that my headache, congestion and drainage symptoms mean spring is coming and soon I’ll be seeing what others have been posting, green shoots and pretty spring flowers. Buds on the trees. I’m grateful that we have noticed a pair of cardinals active in our bushes out front - I hope they make a nest and wonder if it’s the same pair from last year? :thinking: I’m grateful this headache is not from a hangover! And it’s not a migraine, either. Knock on wood I’ve had some relief from migraines very recently.

I’m grateful I found a local tattoo artist who has an impressive portfolio and I contacted him via IG and will make an appointment for a consultation soon. It’s exciting! I’m grateful I am not overthinking things as much and am taking action more - it’s definitely part of my recovery work.

I’m grateful for less treacherous, icy conditions for walking my pup (for us both) but I’m also grateful I appreciate all the seasons, and that this year I feel my seasonal depression was not as bad as prior years. Still present, just less severe. I’m grateful for my tools and for the willingness to use them. I’m grateful for my supports and the willingness to reach out to them.

I’m grateful for my amigos on TS :heartpulse:

Sorry for the double post.
I just wanna keep this thread on my radar.
I’m attempting to make a daily gratitude list.
This will surely help me stay accountable.

I woke up with the sun today, ready to wake and joyfully sober.

This morning I get to lay in my bed, sip earl grey tea, and complete safety training courses online.

I get to be lovingly supportive of my wife (Kerrie’s) need for space. Allowing her to focus on her personal wellbeing.

I got to visit with my dear friend and sponsor, Bob,
Yesterday in my home and share a lovely conversation with him and Kerrie.

I have a new job opportunity and am in the final phase of screening.

I got to talk on the phone with two of my former supervisors who are generously recommending me for this new job opportunity.

I got to reconnect with my friend David and open myself up to his offer of financial support.

I have more friends and love coming my way than I can handle, and it makes my heart swell, everyday.

I found the exact dresser I was looking for, this week, and today I get to unpack my clothes into it.

I have a beautiful new home to share with Kerrie and we get to decorate and arrange furniture together. Taking our time as we do so.

I get to fill out a rental application and provide bank statements to my landlord today, opening my heart to wonder instead of worry.

On Saturday, I get the opportunity to show my character and integrity to my landlord, when we meet in person for the first time.

Outside my front door is a beautiful neighborhood, full of trees, nestled in the foothills of picturesque mountains, walking distance from shopping/dining and AA+NA meetings.

I don’t HAVE TO walk anywhere because I have my truck and my license again.

I get to call whomever I like, at any point in the day, and tell them I love them /miss them /hope to catch up soon.

This afternoon I get to go to my first yoga class in damn near two years.

I get to share that experience with my wife.

Today I can be compassionate toward myself and others, without fear of judgements or misunderstanding

Today I get to make progress in many different aspects of my life, through simple straight forward effort and honest attention.

I do not need to drink or use to be OK today.
I get to love myself instead.

Good evening.

I am grateful for nutrition packed food and the benefits I can see it gives to my body.
I am grateful for our health care system in Canada.
I am grateful for the clouds and the beautiful memory they pulled me into of my Nan and Grandad tucking me in at night. Fluffing a billowing pink satin comforter over me that had beautiful embroidered Chinese dragons on it. They used to tell me stories of the dragons running through the pink clouds and I would have magnificent dreams about them. I wonder if that’s why I am often lost in dreams when I look at the sky. Thank you clouds. Thank you Nanny and Grandad.
I am grateful for listening to my body today and not driving more than I should.
I am grateful that I pushed past my fears and bought a 2 week yoga pass.
I am grateful that today I am much more aware of my limits and am willing to live within them.

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through a productive, clean and sober day. I’m grateful for recovery, including mine. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the raspberries my coworker shared with me and that eating them transported my memory back to my happy childhood home. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful it was payday and I was happily surprised to find out my supervisor granted me a raise. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful my Uncle had successful surgery today and that my Mom keeps me in the loop about such things. I’m grateful that I have this Tuesday off, it will be my first day off in weeks. I will be grateful if they don’t change the schedule as my last four? days off got rescheduled due to coworkers getting sick, fired or quitting. I’m grateful some of my treatment brethren and 12 step group members have been reaching out more lately. I’m grateful that I had the courage to ask them too as my schedule with work has made it so that I don’t get to meetings or fellowship opportunities lately and I know I do need to stay connected as best I can. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful I can seek out a sponsor again and hopefully help a sponsee as well, since I have lost contact with the ones I had. I’m grateful for the secret Santa gift I finally got at work today Lol chocolate mmmm
God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You are awesome. Ya you!!

p.p.s. I’m extremely grateful its day 923 without booze, day 776 since my recovery truly started(in my mind) without drugs, day 471 without any nicotine, and lastly day 9 without gambling. Maybe someday I will work on caffine and sugar but for now progess not perfection and easy does it.

Late night check in because I’m really grateful to be sober right now.

A friend called me at 8pm because she was hurt and needed to go to the ER. I was able to drive her and sit with her for the 2 hours it took. In the past, I would have been drunk at 8pm.

I’m grateful that my friend is okay and that we had fun together despite the circumstances.

I’m grateful that sobriety allows me to be there for my friends and family.

I’m grateful that I have a clear mind and can appreciate all these positive changes.
