Iā€™m grateful for this community! For the friends I have made here.

@Pandita congrats for five months. Your share is awesome! Iā€™m grateful to read it.

My sleep schedule is off. Quitting smoking has my anxiety high. Iā€™ve been having trouble falling asleep. I havenā€™t been sleeping well when I do. This place has been helpful at calming my anxiety. Iā€™m grateful!

Itā€™s raining sideways and itā€™s over powering my desire to go get a pack of cigarettes. Iā€™m grateful for the the storm.

Iā€™ve been able to put alot of effort into my YouTube channel lately. Itā€™s working. Iā€™m grateful.

Iā€™m grateful for all the things I have spent my beer money on to make it happen.

Iā€™m grateful to spend the time I used to spend drinking to pursue art. My videos are an extension of photography. I enjoy it. More than drinking. I use to love drinking more than anything. Iā€™m grateful for the change.

Iā€™ve been painting. I love the challenge. Iā€™m loving the results. If I love something I get really good at it. Fishing, photography, and painting. Iā€™m excited about the future. I lost that drinking. Iā€™m grateful to have it back.

My anxiety always blows up over things I have zero control over. Lately itā€™s been war, politics, artificial intelligence, and algorithms.

Being in recovery reminds me to live in the moment. Keep my side of the street clean. Help others. Do what I can to make the world a better place. Iā€™m grateful for recovery.

At the moment life is pretty good. Because I quit drinking. Because I quit drinking I wonā€™t be doing any drugs. Iā€™m grateful.

Good morning all,
Iā€™m grateful to have another day off of work today. Iā€™m grateful that I will go visit my parents- I always feel like that ā€œrecharges my batteriesā€. Iā€™m grateful that my husband has another job interview today- that gives him 3 options to choose from. Iā€™m grateful that Iā€™m sober so I am able to handle to uncertainty that goes along with employment change much better than if I was drinking at it. Iā€™m grateful to see all of the milestones people are making, and to see people whoā€™ve slipped come back. Iā€™m grateful for a sunny day.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:

Iā€™m grateful I made it here safe and sound yesterday. Oh and sober. And grateful Iā€™m not hungover this morning.

Iā€™m grateful my first reading at the Hazeldon Betty Ford website was EASY DOES IT :grimacing: my back is already hurtin for certain :grimacing:. The reading said some shit about how alcoholics always do everything to excess. Sounds about right :man_facepalming:t3:

Iā€™m grateful for the freeloaders at my house. I got momma dove and her 2 babies nestled in on a vent making a mess. :blush:

Iā€™m grateful for my view. I got saguaro and mountains. And Silly looking Gamble quail and rabbits to look at.

Iā€™m grateful the tumbleweed the size of a Volkswagon Bug that came out of nowhere and hit my car didnā€™t cause any damage. I think :thinking: I just had to crash through it by going 80.

Iā€™m grateful this is a north south facing house lots of shade on my deck.
Iā€™m so blessed and grateful for this new exciting adventurous chapter beginning in my life. My last move.

Iā€™m just so fucking grateful šŸ„² :pray::cactus:

Slow down.
Calm down.
Donā€™t worry.
Donā€™t hurry.
Trust the process.

Nice! Iā€™m happy for you! And you got it made in the shade too. Hopefully that skinwalker looking squirrel didnā€™t follow you. I donā€™t trust him.

Hi everyone :sunny::sunflower::yellow_heart:

Iā€™m grateful my son did as well as could be expected without meds yesterday and last night. Alcohol detox is a bitch. Heā€™s sleeping deeply now after having conquered the first couple nights.

Iā€™m grateful for my homemade hot chocolate. Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t give up on myself when trying to create the perfect balance (for me :yum:) between the cacao, sweetener, and cinnamon. Itā€™s a happy treat.

Iā€™m grateful Eric has a beautiful view of the mountains and saguaros he loves. Iā€™m so grateful I learned as a child that the psychic space of nature is a huge factor in our healing. It fills me with joy to imagine you soaking it all inside, Eric. :cactus::desert:

Iā€™m grateful for this time to myself to think deeply, to speak and write my gratitude, and to read.

Iā€™m grateful I have people I miss. Before becoming sober, I didnā€™t have these friends because I didnā€™t want them. Friends only served one purposeā€¦ to come between me and my drinking. It feels good to think about those I care for and to know they care back. Iā€™m grateful for that. :heart:

Iā€™m so proud of you. :slightly_smiling_face::yellow_heart: Congratulations on your 5 months and the freedom youā€™re feeling.

I also want to thank you for being here. There have been times Iā€™ve laid my heart out and no one acknowledged me. But you have seen me and you let me know. I canā€™t tell you how much that means to me. Iā€™m grateful for you.

Today Iā€™m grateful for a normal, ok monday with no highs or lows :pray: Especially grateful for my husband helping me put the rototiller on the tractor, I think I will never get this heavy shit done by my own. Not without more practice than 4 times a year. There must be tricks, other people do it in a wink. :grimacing:
Grateful for my Missi cat. She lies on my belly and purrs. I will fall asleep soon :blush:
