I think this is what I’m struggling with too. I’ve been having an almost OCD tendency to be available to every newbie, give input on every thread and support everyone on here. 
Since New Year though this app has exploded with activity and it’s just too much.

Lots to be grateful for this morning.
I am grateful that I have not gotten COVID.
I am grateful that Brian and I are booster twins and I am hopeful he feels better than I do. 
I am grateful that Rosa was open and honest about how she can feel sometimes and that people surrounded her with the support she needed. (There have been many times when I have felt very insecure on this forum. It has been awhile but I have gone through episodes of deleting all my posts, erasing posts after I type them out, being silent, afraid to be judged. I understand. 
)
I am grateful that I was able to look at that behavior and see what was going on, realize that it was my deflated ego acting out. When I looked at it even closer I saw that I was placing people including myself on all levels of tiers. There is no humility in that.
I am grateful that my life has become more serene since I have been able to look at people as just people. To stop with the judgement of self and others.
I am grateful that Eric always says “The share is for the person sharing it.” I have learned that from him and I believe that too.
I am grateful for meditation.
I am grateful for the feeling of getting lost in the flicker of candle light.
I am grateful for all of you.

Yes! Same! I just can’t manage too much time on the daily check in and it was disappointing for me for a while but I’m at peace with it now. When I was a “newbie” there were folks who had been here a long time that would chime in, but honestly it felt like other newbies were the most supportive because we were all sort of at the same place and going through similar stuff. When I remembered that time for me, it helped me let go more.

I actually feel relieved! 
And I completely understand that the share is for the person sharing, but I have to limit my intake. I have to come first right now. Accepting that feels good.

I see you, and I’m always like “Dang, I wish I had her exuberance!” 
It does take a toll when there are so many new folks, though. We have to take care of us first.

Today I’m grateful to fall asleep soon. Grateful I’m tired, full, sober and that a cat sits on me purring. I hope the headache is gone tomorrow. I’m grateful that I managed to do some chores and cooking despite all the unwell-being

Grateful for life and you all.

I saw this earlier and thought of my mom
You really don’t realize it until you get older, I do now. Especially the last few months.
I am feeling better today, which is good because I’m going back to work Saturday 
I’m grateful you checked in on me the whole time I was covid girl

This is so true and you’re realizing it much earlier than I did. It’s only going to strengthen your relationship with your mom. 
It was hard on me to have my first two babies while I was still a teenager, but I’m truly happy now that it worked out that way. I didn’t have to wait too long for them to realize I was a kid when they were little.

Morning,
Today I’m grateful to be able to drive my daughter to work at 4.45am and then take our chocolate lab on his morning walk.
I’m grateful it’s Friday and a long, tiring working week will soon be over. Tiring but satisfying. Pizza tonight I think.
I’m grateful to have a pretty relaxing weekend coming up, catching up with jobs and getting ready for the week ahead.
Have a great day x

Good morning gratidudes and thank you all for your sympathy, it means a lot to me! 
I’m grateful I woke up and the headache is minor to almost gone. What a relief. I’m grateful for the beautiful colours of dawn I watch from my cozy bed. I’m grateful my old boy is in good condition - I can tell that by him vociferously miowing me out of bed at 2.30 am because he was starving to death 
I’m grateful it’s friday. I don’t know why, but I like that it’s friday and I like that pizza evening was mentioned on the tread. I’m grateful for this inspiration.
I’m grateful my late friend’s wife called me yesterday and told me she is out of reach for the next 24 hours, she needs sleep and rest.

I’m grateful for choices. I am supposed to visit some friends tomorrow evening and spend the night as it’s a long drive. We have been friends since we were children. One of them has returned to an abusive relationship. The other, her sister, was assaulted by him when she tried to step between them and has dealt with the trauma of this by increasing her alcohol intake. It is a sad home. There are children involved.
I’m grateful I have the choice at all times not to go, or alternatively, to leave at any point because I won’t be drinking. I’m grateful I can show them love regardless of whether I can physically be there - or not. I’m grateful I don’t feel the need to fix them.
I’m always grateful for the space to express myself here if the emotion of this gets too overwhelming.

I’m grateful my 3 youngest kids tested negative for covid, I’m grateful my wife isn’t very sick with it. I’m grateful i got to catch up here last night. @Ceeds I’m grateful to see your wisdom in a bad situation and to try and make it better for your friends the only way you can, loving them.
Have a great day all.

I’m grateful @Dan531 Dan’s wife is doing okay, that @Ceeds has joined us on the gratitude thread, and that we have a lot to be grateful for even through difficulty. I’m grateful that my partner’s colleagues are honest about contracting COVID after he was back at work for a couple projects this week and that we can isolate and see what happens. I am grateful we have gotten this far without getting it (as far as we know) and are vaxxed and boosted. I’m grateful I have been cooking up a storm and our fridge, freezer and pantry are stocked for just such an occasion. I’m grateful the forecast has changed yet again and we might actually get a bit of snow, though nothing like what areas south of us are expecting. That’s fine by me!
I’m grateful that when I was feeling some feels yesterday I decided to share them and I am grateful I got some support here - thank you, amigas. It seems that I hold back a lot until things build up I just decide to spill. I’ll try to let things out more often.
I’m grateful for a whole week of good enough sleeps and no major headaches, just some minor sinus pressure and tension that is manageable and not life disrupting. I’m especially grateful since the person I see for acupuncture has been away since the holiday and came back positive with COVID so I haven’t been to see her in over a month. I’m grateful that my mood has been much improved so far this month and I’m making progress on building heathy routines.
Always grateful for my amigos here.

I’m grateful to be a gratidude @erntedank I LOVE this tag.
I’m grateful I got several very productive workouts in this week and increased my distance and speed to running.
I’m grateful it’s Friday which means the grands are coming over tonight. 
I’m grateful for the knowledge that God not only hears my prayers but he answers them. Imean, how weird is that? Billions of people on the planet and he hears me, answers me. ME! The slow child that took 59 years to figure that out.
I am SO grateful to be sober, clear headed and figuring stuff out.

I’m grateful for my sight… spiritual and physical. I’m grateful that I’m relearning how to cope with distressing emotions, and this time it’s without the pretense that “it didn’t happen to me”. Before I started drinking heavily, I coped with painful incidents and situations by pretending it happened to someone else, or some alternate version of myself. I’m grateful that I’m strong enough to face these things more healthily. I’m grateful for my soul friends here who hold me up when I’m down. They help me to keep growing. 
I’m grateful that it’s only a 2-hour road-trip to get to Keely’s. I’m grateful for her sweet and sassy self, that she lifts my spirits and I lift hers. I’m grateful for her love of animals and that I’ll get to hear new stories from her work at the animal hospital. I’m grateful that I sometimes get to go snuggle the doggies who are in recovery.
I’m grateful for comfy hoodies and beanies, new Valentines socks @Callie99 , the skinny French fries I’ll have later today 
, and my road-trip playlist. 
I’m grateful for all the love in my life.
