I’m grateful to be going to bed very early, sober, and waking up very early, hangover free. I’m grateful I’m still reading my book on my screen in bed at night. And only my book!!
I’m grateful to be enjoying a book again finally. I’m grateful I love biographies and I’ve always wanted to read about Michael Jackson. I’m grateful Jermaine Jackson wrote a book about his brother Michael. I’m grateful for the great musical talent MJ brought into this world
I’m grateful for my grandmother. Today would have been her birthday. I’m grateful for her hard butterscotch candies and 7UP’s and her cooking and how I use to get dumped over her house, in Lowell , when I was a child every Saturday night. I’m grateful for all the wonderful memories I still have about that fantastic lady. I’m grateful she wasn’t afraid to walk me through the projects to church on Sundays. I never associated her codependency with mine as my grandfather was an alcoholic. And now that I think about it she wasn’t codependent as far as I could tell. I’m grateful for her humor. Especially about her deafness. Sometimes she could tell I was getting frustrated (or anyone,) repeating myself louder and LOUDER so she could here me. And sometimes when you least expected it, she’d say “why didn’t you say so?” she could “read the room.”
I’m grateful for grandmothers
I’m grateful ODAAT sober is getting me prepared for my/our move coming up next week. I’m grateful for the first time ever I’m going to live in a house that I’ve never drank in. And create sober memories and God Willing there will be grandchildren. I’m grateful it will be my last move. It’s exhausting. Please God let this be my last move.
I’m grateful for my new coffee buddy Alice. She was up on the island again with my coffee yelling at me
I’m grateful for you all and all my blessings and especially the blessings of sobriety, that I reckon I need to continue to work on every day. And I’m grateful that is getting easier ODAAT.
Only open your mouth if what you have to say is more beautiful than silence.

I’m grateful to God please help guide me to be my best clean and sober self while doing your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery with all its blessings and challenges. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I am going to make the most of this day off and go pick up my pay cheque which means i still have to go to work since they still hand out hard copy cheques. I am going to eat, go to the library and get my lease read, signed and scanned and the twelve other forms along with it. I’m grateful I can try out the new washer at home after completing my tasks. I’m grateful I can put on my music and walk around the city since the sun is out. I’m grateful I can call my friend to see if he wants to meet me at the library for a game of cribbage after I have done my lease stuff. I’m grateful my back is sore because pain means we are alive or some bullspit like that. I’m grateful to see @Bootz I had a dream last night about a card game of poker where I was losing my mind in a rage, that happened way to many times in reality, win or lose, wow I could be a bad winner and loser… sigh bootz’s comment about reprocessing in dream sleep reminded me. Never used to remember dreams, wonder why Lmao I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful to see @Mtrav0040 and @Here.I.am joining us. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful I can try to watch the Raptors game this evening.
God bless you all. &

I’m grateful for my alcoholic wife. I pray for her to want what I have everyday. I’m grateful I can see me in her everyday if I we’re still drinking. I’m grateful I can see the turmoil and the chaos in her every day as a reminder that I never want to go back to that. I’m grateful it doesn’t cause my life to become unmanageable. And here’s the kicker…
ONLY I CAN CAUSE MY LIFE TO BECOME UNMANAGEABLE. Right? I’m grateful I’m responsible for my actions. Not my feelings. They come and come. Good and bad. They come and go.
I’m grateful I’m having one of those moments……
Like ya. I just discovered that lost coin and I want to share it with everyone. I’ve always said, if my life becomes unmanageable………. But that would be me? Causing my life to become unmanageable, by my actions.
I’m grateful I can just throw my thought process out here.
I’m grateful it’s housecleaner day.
I’m grateful we got to take Benson to the vet yesterday and it was just a healthy pet yearly and shots.
I’m grateful Kelly and Alice did so good with the subcutaneous fluids yesterday.
I’m grateful the holding pattern I’m in before we move is getting closer to its end. I’m grateful for the excitement of moving to a new town. I’m grateful for the restaurants the new town has. That’s why we moved I’m grateful for the night life and shows we will be able to see. My wife already booked a concert for us to see in June. I’m grateful that will be my first sober concert. I’m grateful I can add that to my list of firsts finally.
Barenaked Ladies here we come
I’m grateful I know I got to live ODAAT, but I’m grateful, God Willing, the sober adventures I will be having in my near future. I’m grateful I feel like a kid that has taken his training wheels off. Like my daughter. It took her a really long time for her to be comfortable without her training wheels on her bike. But when she took them off she never fell down.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for my blessings.
I’m grateful for y’all.

I think I missed some of your posts, or didn’t pick up on it - you already have a Scottsdale home?! You are a fast mover ( pun intended )!
I think having a home where you have never drank is pretty pretty cool! I hope to have that one day too!
Today I’m grateful the gyn checkup is done and everything is fine. Brrr … not my favourite medical checkup although my doc is super nice. Greatful I fostered all my plants today. A lot of plants . Grateful I had a nice walk around our garden in the evening with my husband. We both enjoyed it. Grateful for all the work he does. Grateful it was sunny and windy today, it will be hopefully tomorrow too.
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to.
I’m grateful to be in a healthy mindset at the moment, I’m eating better, exercising and sleeping well. Definitely noticing changes to my body.
I’m grateful that both my son and daughter got a job of Thursday, 22 and 21 and just finished uni.
I’m grateful to be a support for my friend who is having problems with her partner.
Grateful for everyone here
Good morning all,
I’m grateful yesterday was a great day off work. I got to hang out with my sister and do some shopping for her birthday. We got a pizza stone and had pizza night last night- it was really good! Had some good conversation with my kids and brother in law. We are helping my BIL set up to propose to his girlfriend! It was a good day, I’m grateful I was sober to enjoy and remember all of it. I’m grateful to have found some motivation to tackle some organizational stuff in the house that’s been driving me crazy. I’m grateful I feel peaceful and happy today.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Good morning Sunflower
I’m grateful for “my recovery.” I never say that. After all “I wasn’t that bad.” Ask anyone that knows me. And, I don’t think I was that bad. I’m grateful I know it wasn’t and still isn’t a contest. I’m grateful for being sober today. And yesterday. And………probably tomorrow
I’m grateful to be here. On this app. On the gratitude thread. With Alice curled up on my lap sleeping peacefully and my coffee. And you guys.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for my eyesight. I’m grateful I re-walked the trail to the fitness center and back home yesterday looking for my gold cross of Christ ring, that fell off my finger . That ring means a lot to me, but as I was scanning the trail and the pine needles and the mulch I spent more time thinking about how grateful I am that I have my eyesight. I found my ring back at home in the mulch where I was talking to “my guy,” literally and figuratively the last place I looked when I got back home I was just about to give up. I had already looked there.
I’m grateful “my guy,” showed up yesterday and turned on the irrigation and cleaned my gutters and did some weeding. I’m grateful I got a “guy,” that does that for me.
I’m grateful the weekend is here, and the waiting is over, and we got nothing on the schedule except me packing a bunch of shit in the car for my trip tomorrow. I’m grateful, of course I won’t be leaving until after I help Alice get her subcutaneous fluids and I feed the dogs lunch. I’m grateful it’s all about the pets in my house.
I’m grateful I don’t feel resentment lately, today, yesterday, currently, about my wife’s drinking. I know that can change. It’s a feeling. I’m grateful I can deal with my feelings, or just let them come in and feel them, and eventually the uncomfortable ones, and even the comfortable ones, come and go. But I’m grateful I’m just feeling sadness, that my wife is missing out on the wonderful gift of sobriety with all its fucking benefits. I want her to have it so badly. But I just can’t ………. Sometimes I feel like I’ve given up. Yes. I surrendered it to God. It’s always been to big for me to handle. I’m grateful I can accept the great team we make as things are. And I still wouldn’t trade that in for anything.
I’m grateful my life is very manageable, “presently.”
I’m grateful for my quiet time, and I’ll have a lot of it this morning, because it’s the first morning she’s been able to sleep in all week

I’m grateful for beautiful thoughts this morning. My mind has been overwhelmed with sadness, and it feels good to have some encouragement going on in my brain.
I want to share this with you. I find it incredibly inspiring.
I’m grateful to God please help guide me to do your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful I got the day off and I can attend an NA International service day event from 2-6 with dinner and speakers and whatever else. International service day is actually tomorrow apparently, this is when we could reserve the space, life on life’s terms. I’m grateful the sun is shining. I’m grateful for the laughs I got from re-watching the secret life of pets. I’m grateful my Mom e-mailed me again this a.m. I’m grateful for warm coffee and showers.
God bless you all. &
Today I’m grateful for a smooth grocery shopping tour for me, my mum and a dear friend. Luckily it was light traffic, I found everything on the lists quickly and I met a former neighbour I like a lot. Made my day!
Grateful the cats are well, I’m constantly worried because they goof up a lot lately. Grateful for the fun they have. Grateful for the joy they bring me. Grateful to be sober. Really really grateful to be sober.
