And yes I’m a fast mover. :joy: I’m grateful that’s still one of my weaknesses if you can call it a weakness.

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 :blush:. 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.

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 :heart:

Good morning Sunflower :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 :wink:
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 :scream:. 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 :pray:t2: 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 ………:cry:. 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.” :pray:t2:
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 :blush:

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. :v: & :heart:

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.

Morning,
I’m grateful that I’m on this path taking one step at a time.
I’m grateful that you’re all on the same path, some a little ahead, some a little behind but all walking together.
I’m grateful to be in my own skin, I’m happy.
I’m grateful that it doesn’t matter if I repeat myself here, repetition solidifies.
I’m grateful for photos from all around the world, I love them.
I’m grateful that I’ve just decided to have an at home day, I need one.
Have a great day :sparkling_heart:

I’m grateful it’s SHOWTIME!!
The car is pack and I’ll be ready to go after lunch.
I’m grateful I’m well rested. Sober. Not hungover. Can you ever say that too much? Not hungover. I’m grateful to relinquish my crown of being the hangover king. AND I STILL DRANK. Idiot :man_facepalming:
I’m grateful grateful grateful I STOPPED doing that.

I’m grateful to have Benson on my lap this morning and Benson sleeping next to me last night. :thinking: I think he knows something is up :thinking:

I’m grateful I’m not having a codependent relapse this morning. Not yet anyway. It is easier when I’m alone. I enjoyed movie night last night with a certain someone passed out on the couch. The movie was so good. So real. So sad. I wanted to share it with her but I couldn’t. And the kicker is I don’t feel resentment this morning. I could actually feel that resentment fucker trying to get to me this morning. But no fucking way! Not this morning. I pray when she wakes up I will be strong. I will not slip.

I’m grateful the thread Are You Affected By a Loved……… is getting some action. It’s unfortunate some of us have loved ones who are addicts but we can recover there too. It’s really hard. But it can be done.

I’m grateful I have no idea what I’m walking into in this new home this afternoon all by myself, but the rush of excitement is exhilarating. I don’t even know what I’m sleeping on tonight. I’m grateful I’m getting too old for this shit and this is my last move. Just burry my next to a saguaro :cactus:

I’m grateful the new house has a wet bar that I will use for coffee, and smoothies, and teas, with a little fridge for sparkling waters. I’m grateful there’s no wine room. It wouldn’t matter because I don’t drink. But it’s a waste of space.

I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt this morning.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for my new adventure in life.
I’m grateful I have no idea where I’ll be doing my gratitude tomorrow morning.
I’m grateful I’m not even thinking about drinking.
I’m grateful to have you all :heart:

Good morning all ( I see you @Dazercat)
I’m grateful that I saw 600 days on my counter this morning. I haven’t been checking the counter like I used to because right now I feel pretty solid in my sobriety, but I really like the look of this number! I’m grateful that the sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. I’m grateful that my husband is out with my son doing a driving lesson. I’m grateful that my daughter spent the night with her best friend across the street. I’m grateful my life is manageable now, I don’t feel like I have to hide. I’m grateful that I painted my bedroom a lovely and calming safety green yesterday. I absolutely love it. I’m grateful that today I will have an easy day- coffee, bathe the dogs, crochet some wash clothes for my kitchen. I’m grateful for you guys!
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Thank you! I’m not sure if it’s a real milestone, but I think my mind decided it was going to be, so I had some of that good ole milestone malady ( is that the name of it?). Anyways, it’s a great number and I’m feeling much better today!

I remember I use to make up milestones because say……139 days back then was a milestone for me.
600 is a beautiful thing.
