I’m grateful to be up without a hangover. Even after 832 days, this never gets old. I’m grateful I probably won’t have a hangover tomorrow either
I’m grateful to be handling all the good stress and chaos in my life right now in a sober fashion.
I’m grateful Alice just jumped up with me and Benson. I’m grateful yesterday the vet said Alice didn’t have to go back for another check up for 3 months. I’m grateful I get to go to the vet again today with Minnie
I’m grateful for modern technology, especially with real estate contracts, deadlines and docusign. Especially when it’s working
Good morning Jason.
I’m grateful when this is all over this is my last fucken move . Until next time but seriously, I’m getting too old for this shit. I’m grateful, for the first time ever, I’m not going to have shit in boxes for my next move. No I’m not! If I don’t have room for it I’m getting rid of it.
I’m grateful for the chat with my sister the other day about her not visiting next week and we got to get caught up on my end.
I’m grateful for another day and to see what it brings in my crazy world this month. I’m grateful May is right around the corner but I can still live ODAAT.
I’m grateful it’s Good Friday and Holy Week and everything that goes with it. I’m grateful I may not be celebrating and going to church and doing religious things for Holy Week. But I do, and I will, stop to honor our Lord and God Jesus Christ throughout the weekend. I’m grateful I do this most days anyway. But it’s more special this week and I can recognize that. And I know in my heart our Lord did not need a bunch of fan fare to worship Him. All He asked for, was for us to “Just Believe.
I’m grateful for everyone here on this gratitude thread whether you post or read or drop in or just lurk around. You’re all worth it. And gratitude works if you work it. And again, you’re all worth it!!
Bless you.
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
Mark 5:36
Thank you.
And by the way. You “Not being able to drink like a gentleman.” Is a thought that crosses my mind at least once a day. I’m grateful you’ve instilled that thought in my head, hopefully forever. It’s my favorite phrase.
I think that thinking keeps me sober.
I’m grateful for the little scar across my thumb. It reminds me of my dad teaching me to use a hammer to nail two boards together.
I’m grateful for homemade hot cocoa. I’m grateful for a warm house, cozy clothes, and very little on today’s agenda.
I’m grateful for the family/friend get-together we’re having this weekend. I’m grateful I finally delegated a couple dishes to others, and I won’t feel overwhelmed by all that has to be done. I’m guilty of trying to do it all.
I’m grateful for my morning alone time, and I’m trying to be mindful of reacting in a productive way when my husband intrudes on it.
I’m grateful to be a work in progress. If there’s one truth I know for certain, it’s that there will always be something for me to improve.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for a nice day at my friend’s house with BBQ and letting the horses out for the first time this year. Seeing them jumping and running around - I have never seen this before.
I am grateful for all the flowers and the colours they have that better my mood.
I’m grateful to God please help me be present and to do your will today. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful my parents made it safely to pick me up this morning and are taking an after lunch nap. I’m grateful I will get to see my sisters, brother in law and neices when they get here later. I’m grateful I can help make dinner if they will let me. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for music and creativity.
God bless you all. &
Today I’m grateful to be of service. I learned here on TS that being there for others to help is essential in many ways. I’m a caring person in general but today was somehow special. Grateful I did grocery shopping for my mom (as every week) and for a dear friend who is in bad health condition (every now and then, more often the last months). Grateful she asked me to bring it upstairs because she was not well. Grateful I’m healthy and can support loved ones.
I’m grateful for awareness. I heard some strange sounds in the evening and told my husband I’m checking out what it might be. We have new cohabitants! Sounds like some animal made itself comfortable in the adjoining building (open, build of wood, we have a farm). And I think they breed. How lovely is this! Grateful for this new life-on-the-farm experience
Grateful for the nap in the afternoon and Missi cat who purred away on my belly for an hour whilst I was reading.
Grateful the house is still quite tidy, I’m proud of doing chores daily, I love it neat
Grateful it’s Easter, I love Easter. Grateful for church service on our local TV, I don’t want to attend in person as the infection rate is still high here. Grateful for 3 days of joy coming - hopefully
Edit to add: I’m grateful the seedlings grow well and I’m in time with all of my plants I want to grow. Especially grateful for my husband who announced that the fielfence will be repaired next week. That’s necessary. No Fence No harvest due to wild animals scuffing everything that is not fenced
Super grateful that I was vulnerable enough to reach out of my feelings just enough to ask for help with my current situation-and it pays off to have more than enough phone numbers of peeps to talk with that are doing the deal and finding peace.
I don’t know. It was already dark and I didn’t want to disturb them with a bright light hounting for a look I’ll get a look tomorrow, maybe I see or hear them.
I am grateful I am sober today and have the freedom to evolve, not be stuck in my ways, not to have my future locked off from me as it used to be. I am grateful I am able to take care of myself, to deal with adversities, to soothe and stand by myself. that I don’t have to abandon myself first thing whatever happens. I am grateful I do not longer believe I am the worst person there is and I deserve all the badness. I am grateful to be able to tell better between what is real, what are feelings, which are based in the now and which stem from the past, from a childhood where I did not get what I needed. that makes navigating the present a lot easier, to be able to differentiate. and less scary. I am grateful the world has become a lot less scary for me now. and I am grateful I was able to grow some courage to act despite being afraid. knowing that the fear is internal, an internal reality but nonetheless not the only truth, I can counteract it and act despite it a lot. that gives me a lot more freedom. I am grateful I have become unstuck in this way.
I am grateful I am in good physical health and have less pains than I used to have. yday I walked through a gallery for hours and this would have given me knotted muscles in the back and shoulders at any other time in my life. I felt fresh and light as chicken when we left. I was grateful then that my body is there for me as I am there for it too with all the weightlifting I do. I am grateful I am strong.
I am grateful I am young enough to overcome the pain I feel towards my family and still form a better relationship with them before they are too old. they don’t change. but I have changed. so our relationship is less painful for me now. I am grateful I didn’t have to cut them out of my life.
I am grateful I am my own person more than ever. I am grateful I am in the process of accepting evermore what I am and what I am not. this feels very good every time I accept a little more. I can only recommend it. half a year ago I still thought I am mostly a loser and was pretty lost. now for the most part I don’t really believe that anymore. because I don’t have to. there is no law that says you must hate and sabotage yourself. it’s not good ethics to do so.
I am grateful I can feel my worth in relationships with others. if you don’t treat me with kindness and care, I will not sacrifice myself to make you do so or believe fully that it is because of something wrong with me. I will let you go, peacefully as I can.
I am grateful I am not as mentally ill as I was most my adult life. I have far far less days where the depression is so bad I am really disabled. I am grateful that I deal with it so much better. I am like a different person dealing with it now, and no longer slave to my self-obliteraing believes and feelings.
I am grateful I do not strive for material wealth beyond a certain baseline. I am grateful I am satisfied with the things I am and do not need brand things or expensive new things to feel good. it makes life a lot easier.
I am grateful I know about good nutrition.
I am grateful I enjoy reading and learning and thinking. I am grateful I am creative and am finally growing the bones to let myself be aswell.
I am grateful I have the most wonderful doglets who love their mamma and I get to care for them and give them love and everything they need forever so they’ll never feel less or abandoned or not good enough. I am grateful for every day I get to spend with them and their antics and exactly how they are.
I am grateful my partner found recovery. I am grateful he is doing so much better. no more lies. and a lot more love in my life again.
I am grateful for psychoanalysis without which I probably would never have got better.
I am grateful I didn’t take my own life in the years I could not help thinking about that every single day.
I am grateful I live in a peaceful country where I have the freedom and security to live this life of mine.
I am grateful for TS and the ppl here that I have met that inspire and awe me. it’s a miracle to be able to see into others like this, and to let others see. I really think so.
I am grateful I am on holiday a few hrs from where I live and it’s lovely to be away. and it’s not bad to be me anymore. I am grateful I am less stressed about looking bad and being wrong whereever I go. I am grateful I am kinder to myself in every way than I used to be. i am grateful my partner is also kinder to myself and himself in every way. I am grateful that although I lived vegan for many years, I’ll get to go out in a bit and eat a fisch bun for breakfast because it’s my fucking birthday and I want to. it’s allowed. I am grateful for my recovey because even though depression and self-loathing is hitting me hard at the moment, I knew if I’d write a gratitude list I’d feel better and I do now. I am grateful for that.
That’s beautiful Faugxh.
I hope you are feeling better about yourself now and you can have a wonderful birthday. Enjoy the fish buns. Had to Google that one.
Morning,
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful that I slept in my daughter’s bed last night, I have woken up with no aches or pains as she has a lovely mattress.
I’m grateful to have been thinking and reflecting recently, not something that I’d usually do much.
I gave up my job last year, I was a teaching assistant in a primary school. I had done this for years, did a degree at 46 and another qualification to allow me to teach classes. I seemed to lose the passion, I don’t know what happened but I was very unhappy for a few years. Looking back I see that’s when and why my drinking increased. So I just left. Best thing I ever did for myself.
I’m grateful to work for myself now. I’m earning more for far far less stress. I’m so glad I made the decision to leave, I look back and wonder how I managed to function some days.
I’m grateful it’s a gorgeous morning here, I’m going on a walk later with my daughter.
I am full of love this morning, I’m so happy and content, things are going well for me.
Thanks everyone, have a great day
. Until next time

I’ll get a look tomorrow, maybe I see or hear them.
Had to Google that one.
