Grateful for u also my friend love ur gratitude list!
My gratitude list for today:
- So so SO grateful for my HP. Without that connection in my life, none of what I have today would even be possible
- Grateful for my hubby cooking a homemade meal. Grateful for the food we have (bcuz we literally would have nothing to eat when all of our $$ went to drugsā¦ food hampers and $ store items was what was on the menu)
- Grateful to be able to feel the connection I have with hubby now that we are clean & sober. Kissed him on the shoulder just now, while he cooked. I used to be so shut down and mentally unwell. āWallsā as high as they could possibly be
- Grateful for mindfulness
Good evening all,
Iām grateful for a not bad day at work. Iām grateful for Apple slices with peanut butter and honey. Iām grateful for help, and that I know itās ok to seek it out. Iām grateful for love and forgiveness. Everyone have a wonderful evening
Back on my feet and out of the house.
I am grateful for all the wonderful shades of green, radiant sunshine and the first bumblebees. They always make me laugh. If they manage to stay in the air, anything is possible, right?
Grateful to be sober and breathing in the beauty. Have a great day everyone.
Today Iām grateful I made it here Itās so busy at the moment and Iām always exhausted.
Iām grateful for my three cats, they are lovely, funny and give me purring and cuddles, tamping and snuggles
Iām grateful for a nice weekend with friends and a great trip with my husband
Iām grateful I learned so much here, it helps me to handle the difficult situation with my mother. Iām grateful for boundaries and asking for help, for being open and honest.
Iām greatful for a dear friend who helps me dealing with my mother, grateful they like each other very much so I can step back a bit, I need distance.
Grateful I recognize my ambivalent emotions, I hesitate to drive over to my mother but my moral compass urges me to do my duties and take care. Itās joyless, Iām still disappointed, upset, hurt plus a dozen other feelings and to be honest Iām pretty sure Iām gonna yell at her and feel worse afterwards, it never changed anything, she wonāt listen and I wonāt get any answers, as always. She drives me crazy, itās always the same bullshit with her. I would be grateful for a temporary mute-button for my feelings and my temper. I need more calm in my life and less stress.
I know this shall pass too so Iām grateful for ODAAT
Good evening, all.
Iām grateful to be back in the gratitude thread. Really back in. Reading properly instead of just skimming through. Itās easy to convince yourself that youāre doing it, when youāre actually just going through the motions.
Grateful to be off work at the moment. At times like this teaching truly is the best job in the world.
Grateful for my (decaf) coffee and truffly chocolate thing that Iāve just had. Grateful that my calorie intake has reduced so much that I can indulge myself a bit occasionally.
Grateful to be playing football with my 12 year old son later today. I have been invited to play with some old boys and they need another player, so Iām bringing him along. It will be the first time we have ever played in a (semi) competitive match together. I have dreamed about this day. Itās quite big for both of us. If I hadnāt stopped drinking, thereās no way it would be happening. Iām so grateful that I did.
Grateful to read all of your gratitude. It reminds me what itās all about.
Take care, all.
Good morning all,
Happy to see you doing good @Singtone! Iām grateful to have a few minutes before work to find gratitude- I wonāt be mad that itās because the office is late opening for us againš. Iām grateful for green trees and blue skies. Iām grateful to be able to provide a home, plenty of food, and other luxuries for my family. Iām grateful to know that anything I might struggle with has been faced by others, and thereās probably a thread on here to help me. Im not alone. Im grateful to be able to work on myself, even when I get sick of it and start thinking how unfair it is that others donāt have to ( thatās another line borrowed from @Dazercat). Im grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Iām grateful for the beautiful snow falling. Iām ready for Spring, but totally fine with Father Winter having a couple last hurrahs with Mother Nature.
Iām grateful for promising news I got this morning. With everything thatās been happening these past weeks, some good news makes me happy.
Iām grateful Iāve found ways to support myself when others canāt or wonāt. I know it may sound harsh to some, but Iām grateful I donāt give so much of myself to those who ignore it. Iām learning to immediately turn my attention towards someone else who appreciates me. Thatās really hard for a giver, but Iām finding that I feel better, less defeated, when I take this approach.
Iām grateful for these past 8 months of sobriety. Iām still learning and growing, but one thing is for certainā¦ I will never go back to drinking.
Iām grateful for @Butterflymoonwoman
Iām grateful for a pretty good, not great, nights sleep after a fuck of a day . It was so extremely good productive and rotten too. Iām grateful all the ups and downs didnāt make me want to drink.
Iām grateful I got a bunch of phone calls done for the move. And grateful I didnāt get scammed. Iām grateful I spent 2 hours non stop on the phone and the well orchestrated scam on my bank account failed. I hope. So far anyway. Iām so upset I fell for it but they did not succeed. Iām grateful I didnāt give out any important info but they also seemed smart enough not to ask for it. They were real pros. Fuckers!! Iām grateful my stupid pride was really hurt. Iām grateful I can see how much other good stuff I got done yesterday. Iām grateful I never drank about it. And Iām grateful Iāll never use Zelle again. Iāll write you a check the old fashioned way or you donāt get paid. Iām grateful I still have some of my wits about me.
Iām grateful I brought my iPad to bed last night for the first time since my February challenge. I was too fucken wiped out to read but 2 nights ago I read my book in bed. Thatās it. Nothing else. Iām really enjoying my book but Iām not reading it because I canāt find the time. I think I can now bring my iPad to bed. Just read my book. And stay of TS and Twitter late at night.
Iām grateful for the weather we are having. Especially since it canāt make up its mind if itās going to rain or snow. But we got weather. We love any kind of precip weather event.
Iām grateful for the snow rain or sleet pounding on my skylights.
Iām grateful my back doesnāt hurt this morning.
Iām grateful for cuddle time with Maverick late last night and first thing this morning. Iām grateful how he bashes his face into my face around 6 in the morning to get me up. Iām grateful heās gentle. Itās not that he wants breakfast. Iām grateful for his timing.
Iām grateful for another day in the life. And I canāt think of any good reason to drink today.
Grateful to be here with yāall
Oh most importantly, I just remembered, Iām grateful for the faith I have in the power of Gods spirit.
I Read something about that on the Hazeldon Betty Ford reading this morning. I love the way they put it.
Gratitude is the best medicine. It heals your mind, your body, and your spirit. And attracts more things to be grateful for.
Live Purposefully Now
Congratulations on your 8 months Moxie. Iām grateful to be your sober sugar twin whenever I see my counter I think of you first. Especially this one with all you been through.
You. Are. Amazing!!
And such an inspiration.
Beautiful post. Sounds like alot going on for u or had been going on lately. Iām grateful ur okay and worked thru everything that came ur way, without a drink! Way to go my friend even tho ur post sounds very overwhelming in a sense with everything that happened, u still find the positives and thats wonderful! Proud of you Eric! I too am grateful for u!
I am grateful to be sober for some time now.
I am grateful for acceptance by my neighbors and the meals we share together.
I always think of you when I see my counter, too. Iām proud of you for sticking with the no sugar added. Thank you for your kind self. Youāve given me so much support since Iāve been here, and this journey would never have been so sweet without you.
Iā'm grateful I stayed pretty calm with my mother, it seems writing down all the stuff here got it out of me in some way Grateful I got her a new dishwasher, a small one which is better to handle. Grateful for the ability to install it by myself. It works, so this issue is ticked off the to do list.
Grateful Iām tired from an intense day. Grateful for a lovely visit by an old friend. Grateful to sit in the evening sun sober. Grateful dinner is waiting in the kitchen. Grateful for take out food. Grateful I feel relieved, no idea where that comes from, itās nice.
Thank you
Iām grateful for choosing not to drink, I donāt want to drink.
Iām grateful for reading a post that reminded me why I donāt drink. It made me think about the last time I drank and what an embarrassing mess I mustāve been. Itās good to have a reminder of what will happen again if I do.
Iām grateful that my head isnāt full of drinking thoughts from when I wake up.
Iām so grateful today for my home, my bed. I had a long tiring day and pretty much walked straight upstairs and wound down.
Iām grateful that I was grumpy, I needed to feel grumpy. My grump has passed on by now and Iām feeling relaxed and thankful.
Iām grateful to relate to so many gratitudes, it makes me feel connected and that Iām not alone, thanks everyone
Good morning guys
Today Iām grateful for my early morning wake ups being pleasant, waking up before my alarm feeling good and excited for the day. I havenāt felt this way in a while, alcohol and depression made waking up so hard.
Iām grateful for this optimism Iām feeling for the future. Iām making some bigger moves, trying to move and buy a new home, waiting for some answers from our bank and on a home we want. Iām grateful I feel clear headed in this process
Ive got 2 weeks today, and Iām grateful for you all for helping me get through these first few weeks. It was really hard, but reading and engaging with you all has really helped me. Grateful for each sober day.
Thanks for listening x
Yay for 2 weeks! Thereās a lot of good going on for you right now. Makes me happy.
Good morning, all.
Iām grateful for a long night of good sleep. My body is weary after playing football yesterday. Iām grateful for that. I played with my son properly for the first time. Iām so grateful for that. He was excellent. He not only played well, but he approached the whole thing with such humility. I am so grateful for that. Grateful for the extra connection that it has given us.
Grateful to be off work again.
Grateful to be going to see friends this evening.
Grateful for the nuts, seeds and berries that I am about to have for my breakfast.
Grateful that I am not hungover this morning.
Grateful that I have not felt hungover for over 15 months now. It still seems impossible.
Grateful for all of your shares.
Have a great day, all.
