Good morning, Iāve been procrastinating on my gratitude list ever since I got back from vacation, and the disease of addiction doesnāt take a vacation.
Today I am grateful for getting up early, having slept the necessary hours and being sober, breathing calm, connection with my family, my friends, my recovery partners, with myself, with life, with GOD.
Today I am grateful for everything that is revealed daily, for this new way of loving myself and others, learning to be compassionate and humble.
Today I am grateful for the health of my parents and my siblings for working on my relationship with them, talking more with them even when I want to isolate myself.
Today I am grateful for what my higher power gives me Today, what I need and can handle, I am grateful to discover that the will of my higher power always favors me even if sometimes I donāt understand it or donāt want to let go of the reins.
Today I am grateful for this new stage of my recovery process in starting a sentimental relationship, learning to manage my emotions, always vigilant and grateful.
Today I am grateful to work on my seventh tradition, that I am not a leech and I can put a plate of food on my table and pay rent.
Today I am grateful for the blessings that come, for the addicts who receive the message, for the colleagues who strive to stay clean, and for the faith and hope of those who are yet to reach a group or a rehabilitation center .
Today I am grateful for taking action on my recovery, working and writing my steps, for taking the time to make this list and share it, for living honestly and asking myself the right questions in my moments of frustration.
Today just for Today I am grateful that I am clean and do not need to use thanks to the compassion and love of my higher power.
Paddleboarding ahhhhhhhhh-going Kayaking in june-4 nights 5 days on the Lake in Big Bear Vacaaaaaa whuuwhuuuut. Im smiling at your post. First time I got sober i went kayaking theough little naples and it was its own kind of wonderful to go from wanting to die to wow what.Is.This.Here! Thank you for sharing!!!
Iām grateful Iām still here
Iām grateful Iām sober.
Iām grateful for all the people that think Iāve helped them. Yāall have helped me so much to stay sober.
Iām grateful we can all be in this together.
Iām grateful for all the young people on this journey, almost envious. Yes envious of yāall. I donāt really have any regrets from my past. But I do wish I had the courage to have started my sober journey earlier. Iām grateful I also know I cannot change that. But you guys are the fucken Warriors!!! Go out there and change the world. Seriously, you guys rock!! Iām grateful my kids are clean and sober. As a parent I know their struggle and so dang proud of them. And because they are clean and sober, they are living a great life.
Iām grateful for all my Alice time.
Iām grateful Minnieās meds shipped overnight. I hope we get them today so I can start her on them tomorrow morning. Iām grateful Minnie still loves her walks in the morning. The rest of the day is kind of a struggle watching her. But she loves her walks.
Oh here she comes Iām grateful she came over for a pet.
Iām grateful we have a signed contract on the condo. Now we wait 10-12 days for contingencies to go away. Iām grateful weāre near the end of our other contract and we should close Monday. No reason not too.
Iām grateful when all this is over I found out Phoenix has about 6-8 non stop flights to Dallas and LAX so if the pets are good, we can visit our children easily more often. Iām grateful I miss my grown up children and want to see them so badly. And Baby G! . Iām grateful thereās a great vet 11 minutes from the house and they do boarding too. They come highly recommended from 2 or 3 people Iāve met. And theyāll be able to give Alice and Minnie their meds when we travel. Iām grateful for all the work Iāve done planning this as calmly and sober, and hangover free, as ( I hate to say should) life should be. I guess āLife on Lifeās Terms.ā Not a slogan I use but a damn good one.
Grateful for yāall.

I am grateful that my life is bursting at the seams with fullness.
I am grateful for the 34 years of NA that were celebrated last night as an oldtimer took his cake. I am grateful that the meeting format last night was changed so that he shared for the whole meeting. Listening to his experience, strength and hope wasā¦ well it brought me to tears and I could have listened to him forever.
I am grateful to call him my friend and to know that I can meet him for walks and that he will share his message with me whenever we spend time together.
I am grateful for the new man in my life who is so thoughtful and caring. Who makes me feel safe and cherished. I have never felt cherished before and itās all I want to feel now.
I am grateful that a package I mailed to South Africa made it to my friend with all of its items inside! The mail crime is fierce thereā¦
I am grateful that there is another cake tonight celebrating 5 years of clean time, taken by a young lady who is a new mumma. She is my Friday walking buddy and I just adore her.
I am grateful for my cousin and the fact that she went to rehab 16 years ago, then stayed clean by getting active in NA. She was the perfect role model for me and the right person for me to keep my focus on. All of those years I was suffering in my relapse, without knowing it, she kept my hope alive.
Irises are one of my favorites! Thank you for relocating the slugs. I have memories of hanging out with my farmer grandpa and he would squish bugs and it caused me distress, even as young as I was. They all have a place.
Grateful that I feel and sense calm. Grateful that I simply am. Grateful that I can treat myself with loving kindness today so that I can be present and grateful to those around me. Grateful that I donāt have to feel pressurized and out of my mind- because there are resources to wrap myself in.
Iām scared right now due to employment related issues, but I know that I MUST MAINTAIN GRATITUDE.
Iām grateful for Godās presence in my lifeā¦
For the support of my wifeā¦
For legal employment contractsā¦
For Hope of a better vocational callingā¦
For Faith in the power of prayerā¦
For my Mom, whom I need to call and provide her with my update.
Its going to be so badass when you look back and say so glad I hung in there because ānow look.ā Thank you for your share because it made me grateful I did hang in there this last week and even though the details are differing, it was fear as well. You (we together through tons of support ) got this my dude.

Everyone have a wonderful evening
I am grateful I went to the interview yesterday. I still have a flight reflex in these situations.
I am grateful itās only 3 days this week at work.
I am grateful I had a call with my mom yesterday. Somehow itās better with her atm. I donāt know the exact reason. I try to understand some of her comments better also with understanding our national history.
I am always happy to see Dora and Paula play or fight. You donāt here anything. itās fĆ¼r against fluffy fur.
Morning,
Iām grateful that I didnāt drink yesterday or want to.
Iām grateful to be on a healthy path at the moment. Initially I ate so much sugar and junk but that has levelled off now and Iām beginning to see a difference. Iām grateful that the differences Iām noticing spurs me on to keep it up.
Thanks to everyone here
Iām grateful itās Daisyās turn on my lap. Iāve missed her warm purry chonkiness on my lap
Iām grateful my grandcat Boo made it through her dental surgery yesterday and pray the biopsy comes back negative. Iām grateful my niece/daughter is in the process of rescuing an injured outdoor orange cat, and acclimating it to vets and indoor life. And theyāve named it āOrange City.ā Iām grateful the apple doesnāt fall far from the tree. Iām grateful Iāve been through that hell and the reward sitting on my lap purring and bashing me made it soooo worth it. Iām grateful we can encourage her and help her with vet bills.
Iām grateful for kind people that take care of animals.
Iām grateful for my coffee.
Iām grateful for all the good stress and chaos going on in my life right now and how Iām handling it sober. Iām grateful for recovery slogans. Especially ones I donāt use much but itās exactly what Iām doing. āSlow and Steady.ā Thatās never been my style. āSlow and Steady,ā itās kinda nice
Iām grateful I listened to my body yesterday and didnāt push myself to exercise or power walk. I did an afternoon medi and it put me out for almost 2 hours . I guess I needed it.
Iām grateful the affects from my second booster didnāt make me sick but could have explained the blahā¦ā¦urghā¦ā¦feelings yesterday along with the stress. And Iām grateful I didnāt try and power through it.
Iām grateful Minnieās pills did come in yesterday and I got her started on them today. Iām grateful Iām proactive and already got her next bloodwork appointment and ultrasound as they book up really fast around here.
Iām grateful during all this stress of moving and buying and selling and nursing 2 geriatric pets my wife and I work together like a well oiled machine. Iām truly grateful for the lady I married almost 39 years ago. Iām grateful for the exciting life with all its adventures, hardships and rewards and more new adventures ahead with her. Iām grateful for another slogan I might want to use with her āeasy does it.ā I know both those slogans been around awhile. Itās time to use them in this new phase of my recovery.
Easy does it, Gratidudes, slow and steady.
When Iām trying to hard to change things, when I forget to let goāwhen I demand too much, too soon, of myself and others, Iāll ask God to remind me that Easy Does It.
ODAAT In Alanon
