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

Outstanding Love this-rage and read yup that was my last 3 days-got into an epic book and soooooooo heart happy right now because of it and the connections I have w others here, in my home group and in my heart.
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through a productive day. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I made it to work on time to open and stayed positive and present. I’m grateful I took a 20 min. nap this afternoon. I’m grateful I went to my NA homegroup and handed over the treasurer duties as I will be leaving that group soon, when I move on May 19th I will be in a different NA service area and will find a way to help there. I’m grateful my clean date for drugs is the 17th so today marks 27 fucking months woooo without the shit that, ruled, ruined, and shaped so much of my life. I’m grateful that I can accept what I have and haven’t done with the help of this place, NA, AA, a higher power, treatment, family, therapy… it takes a village they say Lol. I’m grateful I called my Mom to wish her a Happy Easter before logging on here to post. I’m grateful I read a bunch earlier today and that I always read all your gratitudes. I’m grateful for daily readings and prayers.
God, please help me rest well tonight. Shine your healing light through me, let it ease my pains, mental, physical and spiritual, let it keep my darkness at bay. Allow it to shine through me so I may not get lost and have the strength to help others. In your name I pray and remain your humble, loyal and loving servant. Amen.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Happy Easter!! Don’t forget you rock. Ya you!!
I was having a super great day. My husband came home.We aren’t getting along. I’m trying to hold my Shit together because I don’t want to fight in front of our daughter. I’m holding in so much anger I feel like I’m going to explode. I’ve tried removing myself…my daughter knows we are upset. I want to slam a cupboard or kick a wall but I won’t. I know it will upset everyone more. I think it all comes down to my husbands drinking. I can mostly handle it ok, but then I think I’m building up this resentment. I’m gonna have to look more at some of the threads about this or join a group. This anger and resentment is soooo bad for me and everyone around me. I just realized I posted on the wrong thread… Sorry. I tried to move it. Oh boy… Maybe it’s a sign I should talk about what I’m grateful for-I’m grateful for sunshine. I’m grateful for the ocean. I’m grateful for breath. I’m grateful for my fur babies. I’m grateful to have a place to share and vent:heart:-I’m grateful I did NOT slam a cupboard or kick a wall. I’m grateful I am in control of my emotions even if I can’t control others.oh and one more…soooo grateful I haven’t even thought about drink even through all of this!!! Wow!! I just realized that!!! Amazing!!! Thank you all:heart:
I’m grateful for a lovely Easter Sunday. Low key just the 2 of us, dog walk, exercise walk in nature with my Christian playlists, brunch, deck time, nap time, chat with friends from Austin for an hour and a half saw the Celtics win a buzzer beater. And that’s all of the game I saw basically. Grateful to blow off an offer on the condo. It’ll be there tomorrow. Or Not I’m grateful I needed and took a day off and rested.
I’m grateful for pics of my son and grand baby momma in the sun at the beach on their Babymoon, they are having so much fun. I’m grateful we are planning on seeing them soon before Norma G. Is born. I’m grateful for all the exciting, adventurous, life changing happenings coming up this year. And I’ll be sober for ALL of it. One little day at a time.
I’m grateful Alice, was my coffee buddy this morning yelling at me to finish making it so we could sit in my chair.
I’m grateful my wife signed us up for our second booster shot today and all the little errands we’ll get done around it and lunch.
I’m grateful I didn’t drink bottomless mimosas and double bloody Mary’s and endless desserts at the brunch yesterday. I’m grateful I don’t have to explain to servers and bartenders just how I like my drink only for them still fuck it up because I was such a critical drink snob. I love just ordering my green ice tea with lemon. I’m grateful when I take a nap in the afternoon it’s not from drinking my lunch or brunch.
I’m grateful for Mavy neck snuggles last night in bed and the soft rhythmic breathing right in my ear hole. Also grateful he’s generally good for only 5-7 minutes of that and let’s me get back to sleep.
I’m grateful for my blessings and morning quiet time and sharing it with guys guys.
Stop trying to calm the storm.
Calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Feel like I really need to express my gratitude for the wonderful visit with family this past weekend. I’m so grateful for their love and support - they really are my world. I’m grateful for getting there safely despite the high winds and my migraine and car sickness, for my husband who drove the entire way while I couldn’t even keep him company most of the way, for my rockstar puppers Lupe and how well she traveled, how calm she was with my family and how she didn’t react to dogs on a busy trail we hiked - she is such a cool and collected girl these days! I’m grateful for relaxed time as well as some serious giggles and playtime with my niece, and that she was so excited to see us and remembered us! It was a whirlwind trip (literally!) and I’m grateful for more plans to visit soon. I’m grateful I was able to help drive us home yesterday and we made it safely and with enough time to unwind before bedtime.
This little girl is growing so fast and I’m grateful I can be a part of her life.

I’m grateful I just recently passed my 200 day sobriety mark. That it just seems like yesterday I came on here embarrassed to tell my family and friends I had stopped drinking asking for advice. That it has been the singularly most life altering choice I’ve made in my life so far. That the domino affect sobriety has had on my life, my mental health, my happiness, my self worth, and my health has been truly life altering. It makes me cry just thinking about it.
I’m grateful that this community and specifically many of you in the gratitude thread have been here for me at all hours, through awful days, and I am eternally grateful.
