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. Iām 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 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. Iām sick of both their shit. Last summer was not very fun. Im not doing it again. Iām so grateful I dont have to.
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.
Iām grateful to God. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful for a busy day at work and that I handled it all by myself. Iām grateful that I am tired from it. Iām grateful I did nothing for about an hour after work. Iām grateful I then had a shower and went to my home NA group. Iām grateful the corner store had what I needed on my walk home. Iām grateful for music. Iām grateful to see some fellow TS members reaching awesome milestones @Dragonflygirl82 800 and @JasonFisher 900 days. Iām grateful for the food I just enjoyed. Iām grateful I can find something to watch on Netflix or Disney.
God bless you all. &
Iām grateful to be up before 6 and bump this gratitude thread to the top. Itās been 12 hours since thereās been any gratitude on here. Iām actually feeling the same Ol things Iām grateful for.
Iām grateful for those same Ol things.

Grateful Iām not drinking today.
Grateful Iām 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

*I am grateful the weights went up super easy in the gym this a.m.
*I am grateful that I truly understand that lifting was easy peasy because I am recovering during sleep and not detoxing. (what a waste that was)
*I am grateful that my final exam /exit exam tomorrow is it for this class. Wow.
*I am grateful for continued clarity of thought. Improving, not daily, but definitely there.
*I am grateful I donāt want to drink, not even a little.
*I am grateful for my life.
*I am grateful that I am starting to feel grateful when I write that I am. Used to feel like a fraud because I felt nothing. yay.
I am grateful that I have found a new super power, itās called āYour shit not mineā.
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 peopleās 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 āAh-haā moments when ideas fall into place and fit snuggly like a jigsaw puzzle. When I can smile softly to my wise mind and say āI see nowā¦ā
I am grateful that my heart voice sings all day long and when she isnāt 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.
Iām grateful that Iām learning how to experience stress, sadness, and disappointment without having a drink.
Iām grateful that itās getting easier.
Being here at my parents-in-law, watching my dad-in-law dying, is one of the hardest things Iāve ever done in my life. But Iām grateful Iām here, witnessing his last days, holding his hand and comforting him when heās bewilderedā¦ itās an honor.
Iām grateful for my life and the lives of my family, and Iām grateful to know that this sadness will help me to grow.
Today Iām grateful for all the things I got done. Chores, plants, cats, cooking ā¦ I canāt even remember what I have done all day. Thatās frustrating but Iām grateful I KNOW Iāve 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
!!! 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??
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
Good evening all,
Iām grateful for my life today. Iām grateful that I was finally able to get out of the cycle, and out of a numb and monochromatic life. Iām grateful that this life is so much better, even when itās challenging. Iām grateful for TS. I read just about everything, but only engage in a few threads so I donāt get overwhelmed. I am amazed by all of us. Iām 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
I would like to invite you to join this great thread of people if youāre interested. No pressure. Have a good read around if you like.
Gratitude works for me.
Have a good night.
Grateful that you are there with him, and the others there. It is very much an honor. Thinking about you during this time. Sending thoughts, love and hugs. xoxo @ShesGotMoxie
