I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through another productive day while remaining clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I am posting today as I missed posting yesterday for the first time in probably more than a year and maybe only the second time since I started using this thread, I did read some but got distracted then fell asleep before posting. I’m grateful some of you are noticing, this thread serves a very real and strong purpose and the other ones can get chaotic at times especially to start a new year. I am grateful I have been taught to communicate what you need from a place of assertiveness and confidence and that I can do so with love towards myself and others, if someone doesn’t understand that ok but I don’t need to own a “feel bad” feeling about it ever again. I’m grateful I remembered to reset my day a few times the last few days instead of getting angry or resentful, I can let go and let God. I’m grateful to see @Callie99 Caroline ready to post her gratitude and that the meditation thread is helping some of us. I’m grateful I got a call from a friend yesterday, I could get used to that, even though they don’t love talking on the phone I like to hear peoples voices, I’m old school I guess. I’m grateful that I crushed it at work today, and I’m tired, I worry a little though that the boss will notice and expect that all the time. I’m grateful that my housemate got us internet, our landlord decided to cut off our cable, internet and home phone that is included in the rent. I am not impressed but glad to not have to use up my cellular data plan. I’m grateful that I can use said communication skills to tell the staff that run this sober house that this is unacceptable, we are in a lock down, some people require internet to work from home and t.v. and phone to stay a little entertained, connected and sane during highly stressful times. I’m grateful I left the landlord and treatment staff a message and I can patiently wait for a response, God willing. I’m grateful that I was singing along with the music at work today and got a nice compliment about doing so, Its been a long time since someone commented on my voice, I used to sing alot, majority of my family does, even extended family, some teach music and participate in large choirs, get paid to sing, there was a time, many many many 24’s ago I was getting pressured to pursue a vocal career. I’m grateful that I have gotten over the fact that my voice is mostly ruined from decades of smoking large amounts of pretty much anything you can think of. I’m grateful I sing along now just because I like to. I’m grateful that the boss drove me home after work seeing as the temperature is -20 with the wind. I’m grateful to read @Its_me_Stella is coming from a place of love and reminds me to not be embarrased to feel the same way, I hope you are feeling better my booster twin. I’m grateful I can admit at times, as a man using these loving words and feelings is hard. They were not “cool” or acceptable in the eyes of society, particulaly around other men, or at least that’s the way it used to be. I’m grateful that people in general seem to be trying to change this antiquated pattern. I’m grateful for humor and laughter, it feels so good that relase of seratonin, dopamine, endorphins? I feel like I should know but don’t feel like looking up the answer. I’m grateful to be getting prepared to write a long post, my longest ever, sometime soon , reflecting on my life and recovery, it has been suggested by a few of my counsellors , supports and sponsor to do so, after my rapidly approaching milestone passes. I’m grateful for 728 days in a row without any drugs or alcohol.
God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. You are beautiful, inside and out. Ya you!!

Morning,
Today I’m thankful that my friend invited me for a cup of tea and a left over mince pie. It was nice to catch up and put a trip in the diary.
I’m thankful that my first thought of the day isn’t 'when can I start drinking? What do I have to get done until I am ‘free’ to drink? ’ It’s a nice feeling.
I’m thankful for a surprise meeting with another friend who I haven’t seen for so long. We had a lovely catch up and afterwards I thought how glad I was that I haven’t been drinking as I look so much better, no dark circles and fresher skin.
Have a lovely weekend everyone

I’m grateful today that my husband and I are on the same page regarding COVID precautions and when he was potentially exposed at work this week after several colleagues tested positive, we canceled all our plans and are isolating. Sad to cancel, but it is important to protect ourselves and, more importantly, others. So far we are feeling fine - so grateful. I’m grateful we enjoy each other’s company and that I enjoy my own company a lot more these days!
Edit to add that I am grateful that my canceled plans are no longer due to drinking! Whether that was being too hungover or unable to not drink before an evening outing or event…those times are long gone and I am beyond grateful for that.
I’m grateful for a light blanket of fresh snow and the plow that came by this morning. I’m grateful that when I took a spill on the ice yesterday while waking my pupper it wasn’t worse and though I woke up sore I am okay. I’m grateful I keep my sidewalks salted so that no one will ever slip and fall in front of my house.
I’m grateful for you all on this thread

Good morning all,
I’m grateful the work week is done for me. I’m grateful that with all of the people coming down with coved, etc. , I haven’t gotten sick. I’m grateful that being so short staffed means I will get overtime- I’m going to put the extra money towards a vacation we are planning in June. I’m grateful that I like my coworkers, and we can laugh and joke. I’m grateful that I have this thread. I’m grateful that today I will get my house back into a comfortable order, clean up, and have a lunch date with my husband. I’m grateful for the beautiful pink and purple clouds I can see from my living room as the sun rises.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful I woke up to the sound of laughter. I’m grateful that Keely isn’t concerned about dog hair on the duvet, so Chesney is up here cuddling with me. 
I’m grateful for Ethan @Winter_Ov_Thanatoz. I’m grateful that he’s much more musically well-rounded than me, and he makes the time to introduce me to new stuff on the Froot Loops thread. I’m grateful for this soul friend of mine. 
I’m grateful that Caroline @Callie99 is well enough to return to work today. I’m grateful for her sweet heart and beautiful spirit. She brings a lovely glow to this little village. 
I’m grateful for good music, Cajun food that reminds me of home, and for the warmth of Keely and her boyfriend’s house when it’s -4° outside. I’m grateful for Chesney and Cash and their unconditional love.
I’m grateful for those of you who talk nerd with me on the Our Brains and Recovery thread. It’s an important subject(s) to me and I appreciate y’all who tag along.
I’m grateful for Eric @Dazercat and thankful that he, too, has been a wonderful friend to me. It’s fun to talk about all the places we’ve been and the places we still have to go. I appreciate you.
I’m grateful for Rosa @RosaCanDo. It’s amazing to me how I resonate with so many of her shares. Reading her posts are like finding a little piece of home. I appreciate your light and beauty.
I’m grateful to see the newer folks who are hitting the gratitude thread early on in their recovery. When we keep our soul rooted in gratitude, our eyes are opened to the many blessings we have.
I’m grateful for each of you. You all have something unique to offer, and I’m grateful for your sharing. You’re helping others to grow.
Edit to add: When I read the things we girls share, myself included, I sometimes get Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman” going through my head. We are, you know… every woman. We’re deep and multifaceted. We have it all inside of us.

Long pause………sigh…………
I’m grateful…………
I’m grateful I feel like I’m just going through the motions here to get this over with. Which I reckon means I really need to do this.
I’m grateful for my Daisy cat. Especially in the morning when she’s on the counter, in my way, when I try to make coffee and she bashes into me and I get to grab her and work her over. She’s so soft.
I’m actually grateful I’m not encumbered with any pets on my lap or the couch next to me. Bums 
I’m grateful I get to have another dinner with my daughter tonight.
I’m grateful for my peace and quiet time in the morning. And on my afternoon walks alone to the beach to watch the sunset. I’m grateful, even after all this time, I found a great new place to sit and watch the Pacific.
I’m grateful I got my meditation in yesterday with Maverick. Ya I nodded out. 
guess I needed it. I’m grateful after the meditation I was not feeling too energetic and forced myself to walk to the cliffs at the beach and it really perked me right up.
I’m grateful for coffee.
I’m grateful for lunch at El Cholo yesterday and that I don’t drink margaritas anymore. Late Friday lunch at Mexican restaurant with no afternoon plans use to be a perfect recipe for a bender. I’m grateful I saw this table get up and leave. They weren’t drunk or anything. But two of the people left pretty full margaritas on the table when their ride showed up. I never knew that was an option. 
I would have pounded them. I’m grateful I guess some people can drink or leave it behind and I definitely know I am not one of those people. I’m grateful I don’t have a margarita headache this morning. I’m grateful my kitchen isn’t littered with stale old margarita fixins and empty tequila bottles (there’s liquor stores a block or 2 away in almost every direction here,) and nasty dirty martini glasses with the salt stuck onto the rim.
I’m grateful I can smell it. It’s so gross 
Sorry………
I grateful for gratitude.
I’m grateful I think I feel better now than when I started this post.
When black clouds come over me
they darken my skies
If its how I look at things
Give me new eyes.
John McAndrew
Give me new eyes.
I’m so grateful for John McAndrew. I’m grateful one of his songs played randomly on my playlist last night. I could use more of that.

Im grateful I packed a couple more boxes.
Im grateful I can work on not letting all my stressors get me into a bar.

Im grateful I’m going to sit and relax and watch some football. Maybe drop a meme. Maybe a football nap is in order.
