Iām grateful for my gratitude practice. It does keep me sober.
Iām grateful for my
Iām kinda grateful for all the sleep I got last night. Might have been a bit much.
Iām grateful my son is getting breakfast in bed for his birthday. His wife just sent a pic. Iām grateful they are so happy in love and they arenāt afraid to show it. Which leads me to being grateful Iām going to be a Grampy.
Iām grateful when I called the vet again yesterday for Alice, sheās struggling to pee again, they had a cancellation at 2:30 and we took it. Thank God Iām grateful for my calmness when the wife wakes up frantic about a pet. This would not be the case if I was hungover and still drinking. Iām grateful we got things sorted out at the vet and Alice has another UTI but a different type. We got a different antibiotic and a follow up next week. Sheās an old girl cat and this could happen again. But. The bloodwork they did showed her kidney values to be in a normal range which was a totally unexpected surprise. They havenāt been in range for a few months. Yay!! for prescription KD diet. Maybe itās paying off.
Iām grateful for my pets and all the hassles are so worth it. They bring so much love in my life and fun. All 6 of them. Iām grateful for my early mornings feeding the six of them and all their little different behaviors and noises they make. Iām grateful I can do it with a calm clear head and not just toss and slam food bowls around because I feel like shit and feel like itās a chore. Iām grateful I look forward to them every morning. Even when Maverick is planted on my neck and head, @ 4 am, left side of my face. Purring, and his whiskers just barely touching me and I can feel his breath on my cheek. Iām grateful I trimmed his claws yesterday.
Iām grateful for you all and this gratitude thread. It works if we work it and we are worth it. And so are our pets and children.

I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful I never suffered from physical withdrawal symptoms when I quit alcohol. I honestly have no idea how I would have done it facing the probable symptoms from caffeine withdrawal.
I am grateful we had such a wonderful view in the Alps in the far south from the office window. Need a good wind for this.
I am grateful I am still sober.
I am grateful for Dora and Paula. I was thinking what would be if I had to choose between them. I couldnāt. I love them so much.
I am grateful we still have enough work even a lot of people are sick/quarantined.

Grateful to have finished all grading.
I am grateful for my partner. We have been through a lot together. He lost his father last year, around the same time I got sober. We were on our own separate roller coaster rides in one relationship and under one roof. I have definitely given him reasons not to trust me and havenāt been the best partner while in my addiction. Getting sober was mostly because I was at rock bottom but I also couldnāt stand the thought that I put our relationship at jeopardy.
He has stuck by my side through all of the ugly and hurt and has been understanding and forgiving and proactive and for that, I am forever grateful for him. He came into my life for a reason and I will cherish him forever.
This is such a worthy goal and gratitude. I so very much want the peace of mind of being debt free. So many of us live as slaves to our debt. Itās a burden that weighs us down. Thanks for sharing this gratitude Marie. It resonated with me.
Iām grateful for the funny new avatar above. It put an inquisitive grin on my grateful face this morning. Welcome Mel. @mrm0808
Iām grateful I donāt drink anymore.
Iām grateful I donāt even want to drink anymore. Iām grateful I donāt have to say that stupid phrase. āIām not drinking any less either .ā
Im grateful I was up in the dark this morning praying and talking with God by the flickering fireplace. And not rushing to get to my devotionals because I got things to do today. Just peacefully sitting quietly with God Not necessarily even praying. Just being
Iām grateful the little things that tried to fuck me up this morning didnāt bother me. Forgot my glasses. Spilt my tea. Didnāt have the coffee prepped properly. Heater isnāt working on one side of the house.
Iām grateful I planted a seed for my daughter and sister to chat on the phone about family history and health a week back. I donāt think theyāve ever really talked before because of our past estranged relationship. I got a message from my sister saying they had a really nice chat They both have a ton in common. Especially living with no immediate family around and being surrounded by spouses family. And only spouses family. I pray they can continue some kind of a distant relationship with modern technology. And I will butt out.
Iām grateful Iāve blown off my afternoon walkās because itās just too friggen cold out and life got in the way the past couple of days. I think Iām driven to walk mostly to prevent weight gain. And of course for the psychological benefits. But I donāt feel bad now when I take a couple of days off. I will get back to it. I always do.
Iām grateful for reading about, and having a show Iām watching, talk about the importance of having hope. I donāt know how to work on that in some areas of my life. On the show The After Life. The widow is telling the widower āIād rather you have hope than be happy.ā Because heās finally happy. But he doesnāt have hope. . I grateful itās a great defense mechanism not to have hope. Then youāre never let down. But then youāll never get what you want. Iām grateful today Iāll be happy. If hope comes a knocking. Maybe Iāll let it in. I donāt know.
Iām grateful I can gibber jabber about my shit right here.
I grateful for yāall. And grateful Iām donāt with gratitude for now. Iām grateful Iāll feel gratitude during most of my day, because thatās what my gratitude work has done for me and Iām grateful for that.
A heart of gratitude leaves no room for complaining

Iām grateful for 4 months sober. Iām grateful for 4 months without a hangover. Iām grateful for this app and community that helped me get those 4 months and on a journey to a better me.
Edit: In case youāre wondering what Sober Banquets is all about. Itās a personal milestone I added because I have 2 business trade show banquets coming up this month where drinking is ridiculous.
