I am grateful to be sober.
I am happy I bought a laser pointer which makes a red butterfly :butterfly: and Dora and Paula are loving it. It is hilarious and I get them to move longer sprints.

I am grateful I have a warm apartment. I am grateful for our social system which I always appreciate more when I talk to an old friend who moved to Bolivia.

I am grateful we somehow made a regular zoom call work with some girls from highschool. It’s easy and good to catch up with them. I am grateful for that.

I am grateful my parcel arrived where I sent it so I will get my money back. The Stollen I sent my mom back is lost, it seems. Anyways.

I am grateful I still have a job and that I come along with most of the people there.

Something happened this week, I wrote about it I think, what I noticed during my rare meditation sessions. It is therefore basic concept, stupid it seems. That is that I notice a thought as what it is : a thought. Not more not less. I can let it go,watch it and don’t judge it. And I see more clearly how often I mindlessly react on the first thought that crosses my mind. And then I read somewhere today that when I pick up it is a decision. And it got me into thinking that seeing this as a decision was only possible when I got hold of this thought as a thought. For me it was always automatically and then oooops, bottle already empty, me falling into bed, hungover. So, I am grateful that I learn to see more clearly, be humble to be able to say that for me picking up would be a decision. It wasn’t when I was in active addiction. I wasn’t the driver of my own life,I was only watching from a back seat.

Grateful I can share and no-one will throw me out :see_no_evil:

Today I’m grateful for a day full of joy. Our new sofa arrived, we already napped on it after lunch with the cats and it was marvelous. We all love it, husband and I even had a little pillow fight on it :grin: It’s sooo big and there is room for sooo many pillows :blush::blush::blush::blush:
The new house starts to become suitable for every day use step by step. I’m very grateful for it :pray:
I’m grateful for a lot of laughter today. My husband even locked up Miss Marple in the bedroom because she stole the small parts of the chest of drawers he assembled :rofl:
I’m grateful for this beautiful and heartwarming day.

Hi everyone :yellow_heart:
I have been sleeping on and off today,I just can’t seem to stay awake. I feel so much better.

First off I’m so grateful for the beautiful human who sent me the sweetest and most thoughtful self care gift package. I love you, thank you for making me feel special :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::kissing_heart: I’m grateful you are in my life :blossom:

I’m grateful for meditation and how deeply I’ve been able to go inside myself. Forgive myself, see beauty when I had lost it, and learn from trauma and mistakes.

I’m grateful Ian reached out today and I had a chance to apologize sincerely to him. That we are going to try to get coffee and be friends again. He is my favorite person in the entire world. I’m grateful that sobriety has showed me so much of the mistakes I made in our relationship. That I can own how I made him feel, how I was making myself feel, sincerely apologize, and change the outcome. Or maybe the outcome remains the same and I have made peace with that. But right now it feels like the other half of my heart is coming back to me and I’m grateful I can try and make amends. That I know that whatever the outcome I will be okay.

I’m grateful that I have the energy to make dinner tonight. Eggplant Bolognese Pasta bake. I’m grateful I have food in my house. I’m grateful Rue comes home tomorrow. I’m grateful the weather has been beautiful and I can leave my windows open and feel the breeze.

I’m grateful for you all. Especially those of you here. I was loosing myself before I found you guys. I honestly felt like I was drowning. Thank you for being here. Thank you for making me feel like I belong. Thank you for listening to me and looking out for me. Thank you for caring. I feel like I know all of you, even though we have never met. I love you guys :yellow_heart:

Also I am grateful I don’t drink :yellow_heart::blossom:

I’m grateful to be sober today and for all of my sober days behind me.

I’m grateful for all of my drunk days behind me because i wouldn’t have become the person i am without my alcoholism. It has made me more empathetic to others and made me appreciate smaller things in life. I could go on and on but i won’t.

I’m grateful to see @Bootz handling difficult times as well as one possibly could. It sure seems like shit rolls downhill and we’re at the bottom of the hill sometimes. Keep on ODAAT, we’re all here for you.

I’m grateful for all of you.

I’m grateful to see Brian’s mug again, enjoying his breakfast on My “anything can happen Saturday.”You’re killing this sobriety sir. You look so damn great :blush:
I’m grateful for my anything can happen Saturday as I’ve gone totally off my morning routine and I’m loving it. In my opinion being an addict has kept me in some pretty intense competitive routines. Not always a good thing. But I am grateful for my addictiveness to sobriety and grateful I stick to the routines that have gotten me this far. I’m using my competitive addiction to make sure no one ever catches up to me or where I have to start over. No way. Do I know what would happen if I changed up a day? I’m grateful to find out. Not sure where I’m going here. But it doesn’t matter as long as I’m grateful. I’ll always be grateful I’m sober.
I’ll always do a gratitude list. Because it is that damn important for me
Grateful I never have to be hungover.
Grateful if I can’t remember something it won’t be because I was drinking.
Grateful for the new calmness in my life.
Grateful for my morning routines.
Grateful it’s going to be basically good weather here for the rest of my stay.
Grateful for all I have and have had.
Grateful for all my life experiences and that’s it’s ok to slow down.
I’m grateful I don’t have to be as adventurous as some people and that’s ok. I’m still adventurous in my own new way.
I’m grateful for you all and that you put up with this guy. Ya me :wink:
Grateful for my yellow beanie :kissing_heart:
I’m grateful I’m happy wearing it because I’m so happy to be sober AFAF.
:pray:t2::heart:
Even if there are many problems still to be solved, I will make the most of the benefits sobriety brings.
I pray to learn to enjoy the good that each day brings and not to be apprehensive about the future, which is in Gods hands.

Today is another day clean and sober and I’m grateful for this fact.
I am grateful for the remnants of crunching snow under my feet as I walk, for use of all my working limbs and for my spirit of correction which alerts me when I’m mentally , emotionally or physically about to make a wrong turn.
I’m grateful for my protectiveness toward my own heart , sobriety and worth. (I’m finally putting myself first and not in a self-centered and prideful ugly way)
