I’m grateful for @Faugxh birthday post. Happy Birthday! Your share hit home with me. Thanks for sharing!
I’m grateful I did some self care today. My anxiety was less than it has been. I’m grateful.
I’m grateful I finally have a dental appointment set. It’s been challenging to get in. It’s been stressing me out. 13 more days.
I keep getting busy and postponing it. For a few years now. I’m postponing my salmon opener for this. I’m grateful to not be willing to do it postpone it any longer.
Previous employer got out today. I haven’t heard from him yet. I’ve decided that if he drinks to celebrate getting out, I will not help him catch his cod. I told him I would before he went. I’m not willing to do it anymore. I’m grateful I don’t have to.
I’m grateful for healthy boundaries.
I’m grateful to be tired. I’m going to sleep good.
Your post is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing. I need to work on not desiring material things to make me happy. I know that I need to work on this. The more I pay attention to my HP, the less material things I crave. Your post really made a difference in my day today.
Good morning ~
I’m grateful that my sweetheart accompanied me to my AA speaker meeting. I’m grateful that she was able to meet my AA family and see who the people are that support me in my sobriety.
I’m grateful it is her turn to walk our pup this morning and I get to lay in bed and read everyone’s posts. I’m grateful that today is a day off and I’ll get to listen to records all day. Grateful to have held my sweetheart’s hand last night. We haven’t done that in some time. Lastly, I’m grateful that my 19 yr. old son finished his 4 th week of full time fire extinguisher work. So proud of him for keeping a job.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful to be able to feel happiness and gratitude from reading everyone’s posts here. I’m grateful to be able to feel again, and not be numb and stumbling through life. I’m grateful to know that all feelings pass, and I can just hang on tight when I feel bad or down and let it move through. I’m grateful for groceries in the house, especially my coffee. I’m grateful that my son is learning to drive. I’m grateful I don’t feel the crippling anxiety I used to when I start to think about his future. I’m grateful for sunshine, and plans to go thrifting with my daughter and mother in law today. I’m grateful to genuinely feel gratitude and love.
Everyone have a wonderful day
P.S. Happy Birthday @Faugxh , congrats @Hotic , hope the dental appointment goes good @JasonFisher - I work in that field and sometimes I think the anticipation can be harder for patients than the procedures.
I’m grateful to see Paula and Dora first thing this morning. Even if by accident. Alice says good morning. I’m grateful I’m not encumbered so I can let Alice out of the bedroom because I can hear her chirp and see a little orange paw sticking out under the door. Alice fucked us over on the subcutaneous fluids yesterday. I’m grateful we can try again today. I’m just hoping that means she’s feeling better.
I’m grateful we are proactive with our pets and testing Minnie for Cushings and Addison’s disease. Both treatable but Cushings is the less of 2 evils. But it would explain a lot about her changed behavior. I’m grateful we can afford to take care of our pets and be so proactive.
I’m grateful to have a nice warm little cat purring on my lap. I’m grateful we have so many pets. There’s always one for me.
I’m grateful and blessed to think of the new house with all the windows and all the new places the cats will hang out.
I’m trying real hard to be grateful we lost all three multiple offers on the condo. It hasn’t even been on the market a week yet. I’m grateful, I kinda wish we should have ……… but we didn’t……… so what’s the point? I’m grateful I don’t have real estate stress today. I’m grateful the only thing that matters today is getting Alice her subcutaneous fluids in her
I’m grateful I’m not drinking about any of this stuff.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful I got my Pilates lesson in yesterday. It felt so good to escape in a good healthy way.
I’m grateful for a beautiful weekend ahead of warm weather and less wind. Thanks for sending that over Jason.
I’m grateful I can recognize the stress building up in my back and I can actually feel it release as the stress goes away. Even when it’s good stress.
I’m grateful the parents to be of Norma G. Are going on a “Babymoon” are you kidding me? these Millennials will come up with any reason to travel or celebrate. Good for them “No son, we did not take you on a Babymoon before you were birthed.”
I’m grateful for y’all.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

I am grateful that today marks another day where I did not listen to the monster on my shoulder as enticing and convincing as it was. Those whispers of “c’mon just sample that wine, it’s just one glass, you are strong enough” are still lingering in the back of my mind. I cringe just even typing that. I am grateful to be stronger then my demons and to be wise enough this time to know be better. I am grateful for my support when I need it… my TS group, my meeting family, my friends who understand. I am grateful to have the strength to ignore the assh*les in my life who don’t get it and patronize and mock my decisions and actions.
I am grateful when things finally click, and how that feels to my spirit. It’s often like a pressure valve has been released and I become lighter.
I am grateful that, as per usual, all of the right people have been put into my life at the right time.
I am grateful for the lessons I am taught and the fact I am in a position to learn them.
I am grateful for the full moon and the energy I can feel from it.
I am grateful for music, books and meditation.
I am grateful to be at a point in my life where I feel grounded, whenever something disturbing comes up, it doesnt take too long to recalibrate anymore. SO grateful for that.
I am grateful that an old timer shared at my cake on thursday and commented on the positive change he’s seen in me since coming to this area. It felt nice to know that I am exuding what I feel inside.
I am grateful that everyday I have recovering addicts in my life, everyday I am surrounded by the most amazing people who are dedicating the rest of their lives to being their best selves. I can’t imagine having anyone else as my people.
Grateful i have enough money to be calm today
Grateful to share
For my sister and seeing her
For a falafel sandwich and apricot cookies
For rage and reading instead of drinking about it
For laughing until i cried at a funny tweet
For a full tank of gas
For coffee
For two more days off
For 42 days sober
I’m grateful to God please help me to be my best self, do your will and help others, 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 I had a really nice day off yesterday and got to spend it with all my immediate family for Easter and my big Sisters birthday. I’m grateful I got a surprise message last night from a dear friend of ours(M) and that she is doing well, we chatted for quite a while. I’m grateful I opened the restaurant all by my responsible self today and will do it again tomorrow. I’m grateful that I am done work early enough to attend an in person twelve step meeting, AA tonight and my home NA group tomorrow. I’m grateful I got to the bank and realized I have exceeded my personal savings goal for this year and its only April. I’m grateful that even at 53 days without gambling and more money than I have had in a while I am determined to not gamble on anything, even though it keeps creeping in, just play one poker game, but to heck with you, you little gambling bug voice, not this minute, next hour or today. I’m grateful for the sunshine and nice breeze to accompany my walk home and around the city doing errands. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful that the Nba playoffs start for my favorite team the Raptors soon.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are incredible. Ya you!!
p.p.s. Congratulations @Hotic on 1200 days @Faugxh Happy Birthday!! and @Lionfish four years is stupendous, keep moving forward.
Morning,
I’m grateful I had a great day yesterday, I think @Faugxh 's post put me in a good mood straight away and it just kept going.
I’m grateful the weather was so good that I did a bit of gardening.
Then my daughter and I went for a walk, it was nice.
I’m grateful I caught up with a friend, she was asking about my drinking and I was proud to tell her I’m still not drinking, it felt good. She had told another friend and I was glad more people know.
I’m grateful the nice weather didn’t trigger me, it didn’t enter my thoughts at all looking back. I feel strong.
Thanks to everyone here
One week sober. Grateful. Two days of this has been an actual holiday away… That’s incredible, as usually I would have used the opportunity to DRINK AND SINK. I feel so Sober and grateful this am listening to birds singing. Going to have an early traipse around a bluebell wood later!
Happy Easter everyone
I’m grateful I spent time worshiping Jesus Christ this morning. It felt good. No great! I’m grateful even though I’ve been caught up in so much busy stuff I finally made the time to really think about Holy Week. I feel like I’ve missed Holy Week. But that’s ok. I believe God know what’s in my heart.
I’m grateful I’m sober this Easter. 3rd one in a row. I’m grateful we will be going to an Easter brunch at the club and I will not be getting all liquored up on bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary’s.
I’m grateful my vet called Saturday evening with Minnie’s test results and it shows Minnie has Cushings disease and we can start treating it. It explains a lot of her behavior lately. I’m grateful there will be more tests to come. I’m grateful I already ordered meds and hope they get here 1-2 days delivery. Always grateful I’m proactive with my fur babies. I’m grateful it’s not Addison’s disease.
I’m grateful we’ll figure out our move around Minnie’s vet appointments in a couple of weeks. I’m grateful we can be flexible for that.
I’m grateful Alice cooperated yesterday and we got some subcutaneous fluids in her
I’m grateful for Happy Easter text messages from my kids.
I’m grateful when I realize the more time I spend on here the stronger my recovery becomes.
I’m grateful for my life. I’m grateful for my wife. I’m grateful for my grownup children and their spouses and Baby G on the way and my pets. I’m grateful for TS and I’m grateful for Gratitudes.
I’m grateful I stopped and read Our Daily Journey today. I use to read it all the time and the Bible. But I’m taking a break from that now. But being Easter I felt called to read it today. Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20
“If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not—nothing else matters.”
Jaroslav Pelikan
