Absolutely awesome for sharing that I now have 121 days not one drop of alcohol and an extremely determined to protect this with all cost. I’ll call used to be so sneaky and would trick me to even like a little grandma yay and my chocolate syrup for my ice cream how evil that drug is unbelievable. Never again I can see it coming and smell it a million Miles away and I will turn and walk and drop people like a rock that have anything to do with it or try to bring me down. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work you got this!

I’m grateful for those people who instill goodness in my life. They are like fresh air and sunshine to me.
I’m grateful for my daughters, thankful that we have such closeness in our relationships. I’m grateful that they both congratulated me this morning on being 5 months sober. I didn’t even know I’d reached that mark. 
I’m grateful for my husband. Even though he doesn’t always snap to my deep thoughts, he is always here with a hug or an “I love you”. When he doesn’t understand me, he just holds my hand. I’m grateful that he tries. 
I’m grateful for the sweet card I received yesterday from a beautiful human being. Reading it felt like being hugged. I’m grateful for soul friends. They bring so much beauty to my life. 
I’m grateful for my parents and siblings, for new and long-lost friends, for the fur babies here and gone. I wouldn’t be who I am without those I’ve loved along the way.

I didn’t go for bread at the hardware store, either. It’s making a difference for me. We’re doing well, Eric.

I’m grateful for my life. The chance to wake up another day and live. I’m grateful for my friends and family. Always there when I need them, even when they don’t know it. I’m grateful to be sober and healing. Never did I think I was gonna be an alcoholic when I first picked up a drink all those years back, and then never did I think that I was gonna be able to achieve and maintain sobriety when I was deep in my active alcoholism. I’m grateful for what feels like another chance at life after being depressed for so many years.

I’ve had a couple of days off the water, but I have been soooo busy! I’m grateful because I’m doing things for all the positive changes I’ve been making in my life.
We ran all of our gear, and it was disappointing. We moved some, but I don’t expect much tomorrow when we run it again. I kinda hope its belly up and we start bringing it home. It was my best crab season ever. Im grateful.
Skipper was low key drinking beer last trip. That was dissapointing too. Im grateful to have a good understanding of the insanity of alcoholism. It makes me even more grateful to be sober.
Our 3rd guy, Tweekys replacement called in and skipper got Tweeky back on the boat. Working with him for a couple of days reflects how grateful I am to be clean and sober. Nothing changes if nothing changes is crystal clear to me.(pun intended) I’m grateful to be surfing the wave of positive change, even though it feels a little over whelming at times.
I’ve had three great examples this season to reflect how grateful I am to have been willing to make all those changes necessary for me to stay sober.
I found myself feeling down on the 2nd day. Catching onto Skippers low key beers. Tweeky sneaking hits off his meth pipe, once again accidentally walking out as he has his frosty meth pipe in his lips, seeing him spaz with energy, but lacking the focus to be an asset to anything. Spun! Worthless…
I wanted to lash out at him and be mean. I didn’t. It’s a waste of time and energy. That growth for me. I am grateful.
Things have changed between Matt and I since I bought the boat. We get along fine and work together really well. I just don’t feel the bond we had. Thats OK too. It’s time for me to sail on. The time is getting closer. Im grateful for that too.
This!! This is what I needed to hear today!

Hey, wow, thank you! Sometimes it’s cringey to look back at this childish behavior but mostly it feels good to acknowledge the difference and the progress. I appreciate you saying this, it helps me release some of the shame of saying it out loud.

My husband didn’t have a problem, either, and there were times I swear I drank more just to spite him, spite myself, I don’t know. 
I think you and I are finally gettin’ where we need to be.

Feel the need to express some gratitude. For some reason i feel very down, even after having had a fine, productive, healthy day with the most beautiful weather and meeting up with a good friend. What makes me feel so low? I can’t figure it out. I will try to just accept it and emphasize some positive thoughts. I’m grateful for still being sober. Grateful 6 months is in sight (2 more weeks). I’m grateful i live and work on a wonderful place. I’m grateful i was able to make my friend smile and feel better when she was feeling sad. I’m grateful for the fresh fruits i bought on the market today. I’m grateful for the orange and tangerine trees that are providing us with loads of fruits at the moment. I’m grateful for the 30 day yoga series. I’m grateful for the amazing nights of sleep i’ve been having the last week. I’m grateful my back is hardly hurting lately (for years has made me suffer). I’m grateful i’m in good health in general and that i’m working on making it even better. I’m grateful for all the stories, support, sharing, wisdom provided by all the people on this forum.
A wonderful day/night to everyone, wherever you are!

There are days when happyness and grief come along one after the other. I’m grateful we visited a friend in the afternoon. The family called us to say it’s time to say good bye. He passed away in the evening. I’m grateful he is released from the horrible pain. I’m grateful for palliative care. I’m grateful his suffering ended, he has wished for it quite some time. I’m grateful my husband cries over the loss instead of getting drunk. I’m grateful I always have candles at home and can light one for my late friend

I’m grateful to God thank you for lovingly guiding me through today and helping me stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I got the covid booster shot an hour ago and feel fine, just as I did after the last two doses. I’m grateful for the egg dinner I just had, delicious. I’m grateful that I can chill out to the new marvel movie movie shortly and get my nerd on. I’m grateful I figured out how to change and turn up or down the music they play at work. I’m grateful that I slept well last night. I’m grateful for all the different daily readings too @Dazercat and one of todays hit me at the right place and time. I’m grateful that when my coworker was clearly intoxicated I was fairly quickly able to ignore it, better them than me kinda thing, then refocus on me and my work @JasonFisher . I’m grateful for people who reach out just cause they care we all need that sometimes, thanks friend. I’m grateful that I can intuitevly manage alot of things now that used to baffle me as long as I keep trying, do the work and the next right thing, particularily when I don’t want to.
God bless you all.

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

I’m grateful for this book, having the appetite to eat this steak. Grateful for making it 15 days sober. For finding it in myself to stop feeling sorry for myself. My entire day and the chance to move forward. Much much more but that’s for right this moment which I’m learning to be better at not giving to much to the past or letting life pass by thinking about the future. Many blessings of positive energy!

I have a crushing headache tonight so I’m going to put my phone down soon but I didn’t want to miss expressing gratitude today.
I’m grateful that people can change. You just have to want to and put in the work. I’m grateful I ate all three meals today. It was a struggle but I overcame the internal battle that flares up inside me to not eat. I’m grateful I did. I’m grateful that all days are not this hard. That I know this sadness and stress will pass. It’s okay to feel it. I’m grateful I have a safe home with a puppy and kitty inside that love me. I’m grateful that I don’t have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, if I can afford to get medical help, or that I don’t have to worry about any basic need. I know how lucky I truly am. I’m grateful I have my meditation ahead of me tonight, it’s become a part of my routine that I love. I’m grateful for books and YouTube videos and people who dedicate their lives to helping people. I watched a video with Maya Angelou earlier today about being human. How it connects us and how if we choose to see our shared humanity it instills such beautiful, imperfect empathy in all of us.
I’m grateful that I’ve been given a shot at life. Love you all
