I hope everyone has a peaceful, happy Sunday

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I saw Callie’s cute little avatar and I’m going to do my gratitude first. I was actually going to go to the Are you Affected By A Loved One……thread first. I thought I’d change it up a bit but I can’t.
Gratitude first and foremost.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful for you guys.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for a really great stress free Saturday yesterday. I’m grateful it’s going to start warming up again.
I’m grateful for old fun family pics and the technology to send them in a group text to have a fun time laughing about them with my kids when they are so far away.
I’m grateful I’m going to head over to the Are You Affected ……. Thread because I really want to post over there when “I Don’t Have To.”
Let’s get us another grateful sober Sunday or whatever day/night your having.

“Courage does not roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.

[JasonFisher]

I’m grateful for another sober weekend.
I’m grateful to wake up feeling good. Both physically and mentally.
I’m grateful to celebrate 900 days in a row without a drink. I celebrated with some delicious Ahi tuna steaks.
I’m grateful to remember everything I have done for 900 days in a row.

901 mornings ago, I woke up on the hotel floor from a two day bender feeling like I got ran over by a train. I was in Hawaii with the girl I was crazy about. She was not happy with me. I got to hear about all the stupid things I had done that I couldn’t remember doing. I had ruined our trip. I felt like the dumbest piece of shit that ever lived. I’m grateful I remember how that felt.

I paid for the trip with money I saved not drinking for seven months. I had been active here for seven months. I came here and got the support I needed to put the bottle down, and not pick it up again. 901 days ago.

I’m grateful for this place. Its been here 24/7. Its easy to access. I always find support or read what I need hear to keep me focused on all the reasons that drinking is not in my best interests.

This forum was easy to access while COVID made everything else impossible to access. I can touch base here while I’m on the ocean. It helped give me the strength to not drink when I came back to land. I had been building my strength to not drink on the way in with this place.

This place helped me stay sober through my first sober crab season, my second, and my third. I am grateful!

Our small town had a new bar open recently. Like we need another one. That makes five. We have one gas station. One grocery store. One convenience store and five bars and a liquor store.

This one plays live music. It was packed last night when I went to the grocery store. I wasn’t even tempted to go check it out. I’m grateful for this change in me. I saw the same old drunks out on the front patio. Its just a new bar with the same old bullshit. I’m grateful to no longer participate in the same old bullshit.

Its an easy town to be a drunk. Its become easier for me to stay sober. I am grateful!

I have my packages shipped to the crab yard. I went and got them yesterday morning bright and early. There were beer cans and signs of drinking happening the night before. Previous employer hasn’t stopped trying to make alcohol work for him. His 45 day vacation at the grey bar hotel wasn’t enough to make him want to change. I’ve decided not to help him catch his cod. I’m grateful to to be able to make that decision and know that everything will be OK for me.

I’m grateful to be sober and I’m grateful for all the changes I’ve made in my life. I’m excited to see where I’ll be 900 days from now!

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I’ve never heard of the Gray Bar Hotel before. Does it come with an ocean view

I’m grateful to read all your gratitude and honored to be able to follow your path Jason. Kicking ass for 900 days. I always feel weird saying I’m proud of someone because I associate it with my children or someone I’m really close to IRL.
I’m proud of you man

[Butterflymoonwoman]

Today I am grateful for:

• God 1st and foremost. Bcuz truly without my HP in my life, I have nothing.
• The birds chirping and the really cool experience I saw early this morning with 2 geese. 1 goose was honking way up high on a building. The other one was honking about 10 meters away from me on the ground. Guess they were trying to find each other. As I walked away, the goose on the ground went flying by me so close and I saw it fly up to his partner. Very cool. Plus, geese remind me of my grandfather who pasted decades ago. So I said hi!
• My job and my motivation to want to be a better employee. I’m attended team mtgs now, doing enhanced training for other clients, and being on time and not calling in
• My clean time and my ability to want to work on myself
• Good healthy food and my willingness to learn to listen to my body when I eat food
• The sun shining
• TS and my friends and family
  

[JasonFisher]

The building does have an ocean view at this grey bar hotel, but the cells have no windows.

Thanks man!

I thought I was hard headed when it came to quitting drinking. This guy wont surrender. This latest encounter with the law and the punishment was minor compared to what he has been through.

Im grateful to be able to observe and reflect on my own experiences. I talked to him briefly. He sounded like he wanted me and Tweaky to help him. I’m sick of both their shit. Last summer was not very fun. Im not doing it again. I’m so grateful I dont have to.

[Caite1025]

I am grateful to be grateful. I am grateful that I am sober.
I am grateful my injuries are healing and that I will be 100% next season.
I am grateful for my kitties and my big snuggly lazy bulldog.
I am grateful that I am a role model for my friends who still are battling the struggle and who want to break the vicious cycle.
I am grateful that my life is no longer a cycle. I am grateful that everyday is what I make of it and that whatever my day pans out to be, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

[I.cant.We.can]

I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for a busy day at work and that I handled it all by myself. I’m grateful that I am tired from it. I’m grateful I did nothing for about an hour after work. I’m grateful I then had a shower and went to my home NA group. I’m grateful the corner store had what I needed on my walk home. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful to see some fellow TS members reaching awesome milestones @Dragonflygirl82 800 and @JasonFisher 900 days. I’m grateful for the food I just enjoyed. I’m grateful I can find something to watch on Netflix or Disney.
God bless you all. &

p.s. I believe in you, you rock. Ya you!!

[Dazercat]

Grateful I’m not drinking today.
Grateful I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
Drinking sucks.

The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfaction
Billy Joel

[Its_me_Stella]

I am grateful that I have found a new super power, it’s called “Your shit not mine”.

I am grateful that this new superpower gives me so much freedom from heaviness, anxiety, dread and chaos.

I am grateful that I have a genuine disinterest in people’s bullshit, I always have. Drama, gossip and pettiness can all eat shit they are energy drainers. My energy is on fire and worth gold, I offer it carefully.

I am grateful for open, honest, calm conversations where I am heard.

I am grateful for fun in recovery and all the great summer events planned for 2022!!! My calender is packed already, I am so grateful to be a part of this life.

I am grateful for “Ah-ha” moments when ideas fall into place and fit snuggly like a jigsaw puzzle. When I can smile softly to my wise mind and say “I see now…”

I am grateful that my heart voice sings all day long and when she isn’t belting out tunes she is humming quietly in the background.

I am grateful for my daughter and her efforts to communicate with me.

I am grateful for my parents and all of the support they offer.

I am grateful for my friend Cheryl.

Good morning

I’m grateful that I’m learning how to experience stress, sadness, and disappointment without having a drink.
I’m grateful that it’s getting easier.

And I’m grateful for another sober day

[ShesGotMoxie]

Hi everyone

Being here at my parents-in-law, watching my dad-in-law dying, is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. But I’m grateful I’m here, witnessing his last days, holding his hand and comforting him when he’s bewildered… it’s an honor.

I’m grateful for my life and the lives of my family, and I’m grateful to know that this sadness will help me to grow.

I hope y’all are doing well.

[erntedank]

Today I’m grateful for all the things I got done. Chores, plants, cats, cooking … I can’t even remember what I have done all day. That’s frustrating but I’m grateful I KNOW I’ve done a lot. Grateful for my cozy bed, for laughter with the cats, for tea, for handling a call sober without craving (phone calls mostly stress me out and trigger me). Good night and good luck

[Scotie]

!!! My work days nearly to a T. And Right? That feeling of working, a little relaxing made enjoyable moreso from gettin at it at work n being in solution, ( By the self handling it) then vibe right into a meeting- came home to Moon Knight on Disney +. What are you watching on Disney these days and days past??

[I.cant.We.can]

Lots of star wars and marvel, no moon night yet, almost every sports movie they have, all the boba fett and mando, probably start on luke cage soon. to stay on track i will say i am grateful for wing delivery while watching nba playoffs, i am grateful i got emailed a bunch of contracts and lease for my new apartment this morning, i am grateful to have a job and meetings all close to home, i am grateful there are also daily meetings close to home where i am moving, some right in the building i believe. i am grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today and giving me the strength to stay clean and sober while trying my best to be willing to give over the wheel

God bless

p.s. You are awesome. Ya you!!

edit/p.s. guilty pleasure (even as a single 43 y.o. male) of watching all the pixar stuff whenever they come out with something

@Its_me_Stella

My energy is on fire and worth gold, I offer it carefully.

I LOVE this @Its_me_Stella! I might need to print this and stick it on my mirror so I see it daily.

[Sunflower1]

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for my life today. I’m grateful that I was finally able to get out of the cycle, and out of a numb and monochromatic life. I’m grateful that this life is so much better, even when it’s challenging. I’m grateful for TS. I read just about everything, but only engage in a few threads so I don’t get overwhelmed. I am amazed by all of us. I’m grateful I am sober this evening and was able to go pick up my husband when the wheel on his bicycle broke.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
