Morning
I’m grateful I’m on this path. I’ve been thinking about what would happen if I drank, not in the ‘I want a drink’ way but just playing the tape. We’ve been invited to a 50th at friends of my partner, I don’t know them well but would know other guests well. I’m not going, my partner is. I’ve been imagining the evening, I can see myself, it’s not a pretty sight. Either arguing, telling people what I really think of them or passed out on a settee somewhere. I’m grateful I can see how drinking is not an enjoyable way to spend the evening or weekend.
I’m grateful for all the shares, honest uncut heartfelt shares.
I’m grateful I’m here 
Thank you for bringing this up @PinkyP. I have a 50th birthday coming up this weekend as well. It’s a huge family reunion and I want to and will participate. But to be honest, I have been feelings a bit stressed about it. Everyone in this family has “fun stories” to share about me. They always come up at this reunions as they became part of the family saga. I don’t like hearing them obviously, as they make me feel ashamed. However, I try to accept, that this has been part of who I was and am not today anymore. Laugh a bit about it and then move on. I’ll see how that goes. I am grateful I can mentally prepare for the days to come.
I totally understand what you’re saying.
I have this too but my family have never said anything to me about my behaviour, it’s just me imagining what they are thinking about me.
I agree, laugh it off at the time and move on, hopefully it will all fade in everyone’s memory before too long and they’ll reminisce about different memories of you.
Hope you have a great party
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for the nice weather we have atm.
I am happy when Dora jumps on the sink to bump my head when I am on the toilet. Every time.
I am grateful I can pay all my bills.
I am grateful Yoga found me.
I am grateful for this community.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a good nights sleep despite some weird dreams. I’m grateful I’m off work today. I’m grateful that I am able to exercise, and for how much it helps my mental health. I’m grateful ( well, I will be when I’m done with it🤨) for a clean home, clean clothes and bedding, and food for my family. I’m grateful for my family here, and my TS family.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Grateful for books. I really love them. Thank you Lord
I’m grateful to have made it back home safely yesterday. I’m grateful for the loving pet reception I got when I came home. I’m grateful for my morning time with Benson and Alice on my lap. I’m grateful for at home coffee. I’m grateful for the almost 9 hours of sleep I got last night. I must of needed that. I’m grateful my back hurts much less worse.
I’m grateful when the cable guy never showed yesterday 
after waiting 2 hours I wasn’t angry. I just told them to reschedule it for Friday. “Easy does it.” They could have been out eventually and I would have usually said ok 
And waited and waited. But I just calmly said let’s reschedule. So fucking what if I don’t get everything done today?
I’m grateful, but sad, I’m taking it easy. These moves are killing me. I’m grateful for my whole new mindset, I don’t have to be a white tornado and get all the boxes unpack today. Usually after a move I’d have us out of the boxes in 2 days, 3 tops. Without much help from the wife. I guess that was the excessive addict working in me. I’ve always been that way. I always thought I was just a hard worker. I’m grateful for my sober calm work ethic and I hope it helps my body not be in so much pain. But it’s hard. My mind thinks of the stress. And that hurts my body. I’m grateful I did deep breathing meditation on the couch yesterday for about 45 minutes before the cable guy didn’t show. It paid off in gold.
I’m grateful I’ve been too busy to be on here much except my gratitude and of course a meme or ten. And that’s ok. Training wheels are off and I’m doing this thing called “life” sober. But it’s so nice to know y’all are here.
I’m grateful for the exciting adventures in moving kind of a life I live. I’m grateful It’s a blessing and a curse. I’m grateful it’s OUR life. And again I’m grateful to be doing it sober. I’m grateful I sometimes feel like a kid. It’s been reminding me of when I first left home and moved to Austin back in 79. Except I’m more cautious and not liquored up all the time and able to drive and go anywhere when I want or need to. I don’t know…. Sometimes my mind just feels like a little kid, out here doing this thing called “life,” SOBER. And I love it. It’s worth it. And so am I. And so are you!! Ya you 
. Especially you!
I’m grateful I just now saw a text notification that my granddaughter, Norma, just got her 28 week sonogram and she weighs 3 pounds and has a big foot 
oh poor girl. I hope she doesn’t inherit grandpa’s canoe feet 
How do they know she weights 3 pounds 
I’m grateful to be joining that family group text as soon as I wrap this up.

Good morning everyone. 
I am grateful for a quieter morning today, my life has been on like Donkey Kong. Phew!
I am grateful that slowly my kiddo is chipping away at her assignments and we are getting through them.
I am grateful that I listened to my heart last night and came home after my sponsees cake instead of visiting my bf (man-friend? bit old to be called a boy…)
I am grateful that I am an addict and I can recognize addict rooted behavior in him.
I am grateful that I feel comfortable enough to tease him. When I could sense he was disappointed I wasnt coming by I said… “Ooooh I smell a little co-dependancy surfacing.” he chuckled.
I am grateful that I am heading in the other direction to a woman’s meeting today, my sponsors homegroup.
I am grateful for my sponsor and the suggestions she gives me. When she found out I had “lost” my homegroup to a relationship she suggested I find a meeting that I attend alone on a regular basis. This woman’s nooner with her is going to be it.
I am grateful for the thoughtful nature of all of my sponsees and that they are currently all putting everything they have into their recovery. I always tell them I will put as much into their recovery as they do, these women are really calling my bluff!!! Hahaha.
I am grateful that TS is always here when I find time to open the app.
Good morning everyone,
I’m grateful that I have a job that allows me to be flexible with office hours. It pays well and it provides for my family and it gets me outside.
I’m thankful that I can take my son with me while I work sometimes. He’s got such a good heart and he amazes me every day with what he absorbs.
I’m thankful that I have such a good old dog to walk with on a morning like this one.
I’m grateful for old friends visiting.
Today I’m grateful I made several appointments, this was overdue. Grateful procrastination did not win today. Grateful for my cuddling cats, they are so sweet. Grateful I can take the weather as it is today instead of constantly worrying when I finally will be able to till. Not today, not tomorrow. It’s thunderbolt now. It is as it is 
I can’t change it.
Grateful for a full fridge, my dishwasher, the washing machine and the catfood delivery today.
I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while doing your will just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery, with its ups and downs. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for sleep. I’m grateful my fridge and cupboards are full. I’m grateful to see @JasonFisher getting ready to post and was pleased to read you got your medallion recently and to attend your home group, I am grateful to read about your dental stuff and getting your smile back, doing that for myself was life changing and one of the greatest gifts of my recovery thus far, I am sooo excited for you, you deserve it sir. I’m grateful for the support and likes after my halt post last night thank you @Lisa07 @Mno @Cjp @erntedank @Bootz the support helps and means so much. I’m grateful for honesty, open mindedness and willingness. I’m grateful for sports this time of year for entertainment and a distraction, nhl and nba playoffs and mlb a month into the season. I’m grateful that I didn’t get into sports betting as that would get my gambling bug going. I’m grateful I haven’t gambled for 71 days, used nicotine for 532 days, taken drugs for 838 days or consumed alcohol for 984 days. I’m grateful to see all the savings from quitting these horrible, disgusting habits. I’m grateful for music, laughter and humor. I’m grateful for courage to change.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are a star, shine bright. Ya you!!
It a beautiful day, Im sober, the bills are payed for the month! I am grateful!
There a men’s meeting tonight. I’m excited to go. There has never been a men’s meeting here before. There has always been a woman’s meeting. Sometimes I have had a rare day off, unable to go because it’s a woman’s meeting. It pretty cool that I can go tonight. It’s even cooler that I’m looking forward to it. I’m grateful.
I’ve been sponsorless most of the time. I had a temporary sponsor in Utah and as I got to know him better. I learned he didn’t really have what I want. He invited a female newcomer along on some step work we were doing.
Once I figured out he was 13th stepping on her. I lost respect. When he was clearly distraught after she stood him up to meet us at the meeting after our step work, I ditched him.
I’ve met a new candidate. 
I have huge trust issues, with alot of experience in recovery. I’ve invested into the wrong sponsor before.
My first one. He relapsed. I ended up being his sponsor more than he was mine. He stabbed me in the back later on too. I became unwilling to have a sponsor.
I’ve had alot of good mentors along the way. I’m grateful for them.
Being willing to try an official sponsor shows signs of growth for me. Trust issues protect me, but they also isolate me. I’ve been in isolation mode lately. The less I interact with people the less I want to. Social anxiety almost stopped me from going to the meeting on Monday. I can’t be of service if I’m isolated. I need to be of service and give away what I have to others. Because it helps me. I’m grateful I have experience, strength and hope to give away today.
I put my phone number on the homegroup list the other night. Reluctantly. Today, I’m grateful I did. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Making myself more available to recovery I wouldn’t hesitate to answer the phone if somebody wanted to go to the bar as a drunk. I should be the same way in recovery. As they say. If you put as much effort into recovery as you did into feeding your addictions, your chances of success are good.
I want to be successful at staying sober. Long term recovery is the goal. That is a change in thinking that I’m grateful for too. I did not feel that way three years ago.
I used to be very social. Sober. I want that back.
I didn’t want to die a lonely old drunk. I don’t want to die a lonely old sober guy either.
I’ve made alot of changes and I’m still making them. I’m grateful for the willingness to keep changing.
I’m not grateful for auto correct. I spend more time fixing auto corrects changes than I do making the post.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful to wake up to cat purrrs and puppy kisses.
I am grateful I reached out to a sponsor for support and advice.
I am grateful to be here with everyone. 
Wow…this was an epic read thank you and yup on the kids right??? Brings tears- so grateful for them and all they are and continue to be. Love the wildlife written out here.

Grateful i can change over time
Grateful its not too late
Grateful for my copy of the autobiography of malcolm x
Grateful to my cats
To my mom
To my phone and wifi and bills paid
Grateful to not be alone
Morning
Today I’m grateful for a rare full day off, I’m enjoying a cup of tea in bed right now.
I’m grateful to read other gratitudes, I can relate so much and they make me grateful for those things too.
I’m grateful my body is enjoying exercising and so am I.
I’m grateful to be happy, obviously lots of things contribute to this but I feel like I’m doing an ok job atm with my lot.
Thanks to everyone here
I’m grateful that For a 24 hour period, i was my FULL WORST VERSION OF MYSELF.
and yet: i’m so thankful that i’m still sober, that i didn’t PMO
I’m thankful that i’ve put the work in and have stabilized my thought process. I have uncovered the brain washing and exposed what was really happening to me. I’m so thankful.
Today is Day 169. Along my journey there will be days like yesterday. The key for me is to recognize THAT’S IT’S JUST ONE DAY. We wake up tomorrow and start again, this time with the knowledge of what the worst version of myself did and now how i can be better. My goal is Day 365 and behind. Day 168 will be a memory to keep in the back of my mind and how i got there. This is why i’m so thankful for TS. I can detail my journey for future versions of myself to go back and analyze.
It’s mid afternoon and I take a break to rest. Grateful I can pause whenever I need to
I’m really grateful for don’t give a fuck! After the thunderstorm yesterday at night I watched the weather forecast: It will stay that way for deep into the next week: rain daily possible, also thunderstorm. As it was sunny and windy all morning I pulled together all my courage and headed to rototill my vegetable garden. It won’t get dryer if I wait. Grateful I did it. I have no idea how I will clean the dammed rototiller roll from all the soil picking on it. And I don’t give a fuck. I did it, also mulched all the lawn around the patches. Grateful the fenced vegetable garden is now ready for the seedlings to be planted 
Greatful I felt good, competent and not anxious while working. What an accomplishment. I never felt comfortable working with heavy machines and my anxiety got worse since our late dear friend who always helped me and encouraged me to try it myself became ill 2 years ago. He still coached me on the phone and was always there for a garden talk with his endless knowledge. He loved the farm work. I miss him. He would be proud of me I’m sure, he IS proud of me
Getting this feelings off my chest makes me cry. I’m grateful for the time we had together. He taught me so much and we had lot of fun.
Grateful I look like a green grass monster from mulching, using a mower as mulcher - an effective technique another friend brought along years ago 
The weather is still sunny. I’m greateful to have the opportunity to do some more work. Or not. I’m greatful to have a choice
