Getting to my gratitude late today.
I’m grateful I noticed a difference in my day not starting it with gratitude. It taught me that it’s even more important to recognize what I’m grateful for on days when I’m feeling low.
I’m grateful for the connection I had this weekend.
I’m even more grateful to have time to myself this week to refill my cup.
I’m grateful I really enjoy my own company these days.
I’m grateful for snuggle time with my pup even with the elbow digging into my bladder. I am so so lucky to have her.

I’m grateful I’m aware of my moods. I’m grateful I don’t try and drink them away, that now I try and find the source of what’s causing me to feel this way. I’m feeling lonely. I miss having a significant other to watch movies with and cook. I miss talking to them and being with them. I miss connection, I miss intimacy. I realized today this is the longest I’ve been single my entire adult life. I’m grateful I’m getting to know myself outside of me in a relationship. I’m grateful that even though I’m feeling lonely I am still grateful for so much.
I’m grateful for the foodie thread. I’m grateful that my tummy is full. I’m grateful that I have so much love to give. I’m grateful me and Ruby found a new trail after work. I’m grateful for her cute Valentine’s Day bandana. I’m grateful it helps people realize that she is a girl haha I’m grateful for the honey my neighbors gave me- from an actual beehive in their back yard. I put it in my balsamic vinaigrette. I’m grateful it’s cold out (for here). I’m grateful that the tornado that touched down in my neighborhood on Saturday night didn’t hurt anyone. I’m grateful I had a really emotional meditation last night- maybe that is also draining me a bit today. I’m grateful for my friends and family. I’m grateful for the love in my life. I’m grateful for my strength and that I’m teaching myself to allow me the same compassion I freely give others.
I’m grateful for my “gratidudes” and for inspiring me to day after day acknowledge everything I have to be grateful for. Thank you

I’m grateful to God, thank you for lovingly guiding me through today, clean and sober. I’m grateful for recovery and all of it’s blessings and challenges, bring them on. I’m very grateful for my family and that they stuck by me even when I have tried to push them away. I’m grateful for friends. I’m grateful my day started by reading a nice message from Mom quickly followed by a phone call from an OG Gratidude @Dazercat , love you buddy 
I’m grateful for all the gratidudes (if you are here and posting you’re one) and that we are growing, here’s a free pro tip, we’re growing because it works 
I’m grateful for all the shoutouts, gif’s and very kind words, it gets said alot, by many of us, but, that’s because it’s true, it means Alot!!! I’m grateful I went walking today, all bundled up through the snow, listened to my early day recovery song … Burning man by Dierks Bentley, the first few lines get me everytime, “half your life you struggle, half your life you fly, half your life making trouble, half your life making it right” I’m grateful that in the future I may have the opportunity to get back to ending the NA meeting with some music therapy and discussion, for those that chose, I started doing it right after we ended, actually it was very popular when I started doing that, back in late 2019 early 2020, time flies. I’m grateful I got groceries, laundry and house cleaning done, I didn’t want to do it, I wanted to relax but that would just leave more to do on a day where I have to work. I’m grateful that I walked to the AA meeting, there were only two ladies and myself there, the snowstorm and covid restrictions kept people away I think. We had a very nice discussion, they asked lots of questions, usually I go to this meeting because my recovery time is generally the shortest and I can ask the questions once we finish, if I want … God’s plan is always better than mine! I’m grateful I got called in for four extra hours tomorrow. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful that a couple that was walking there two dogs, one being a hyper husky puppy, let him or her come over and give me love, not sure any of us humans had a choice is what his momma said Lol that was the highlight of my day and making the snow angel was pretty fun too.
God bless you all.

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

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a nice weekend. I’m grateful for the really cool hike I went on with my husband. I’m grateful that my knees are only a little sore from it! I’m grateful for a body that lets me do things like that. I’m grateful for all of the deep shares here lately. They are very thought provoking and emotional. Sometimes it makes me feel like my measly lists aren’t very good. But, I feel gratitude, and I’m grateful to be in a place right now where I don’t feel the need to delve deep. Right now anyways- we all know how fast things can change!
I’m grateful for Brian’s 2 years and that he made snow angels- that’s pretty cool!
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I am grateful I slept okay. Paula was more or less calm next to my chest or in my armpit on her back. Every now and then her paws reached my face all soft and fluffy: pet me…
I am grateful when I wake up too early I am only tired and not hungover.
I am grateful I have enough.

Grateful to be thinking about what I’m grateful for before I even get out of bed this morning
Grateful to have my first consultation with a career coach this morning. I feel like I’ve always jumped into jobs because they
a. Paid what I need to survive
b. Were hiring
🤷
I’m grateful to gain some insight into what will fulfill me long-term
I’m grateful that sobriety means I have so many options
I’m grateful I don’t feel stuck in my life like so many around me
I’m grateful that I am responsible for where I am/where I’m going in life
I’m grateful to put down all my excuses.
I’m so grateful for all of the help I’m receiving along the way. All we have to do is ask.

Today I am grateful for the long weekend I had with my partner - it really was lovely. We did a lot of healthy activities together, started talking about his plan for drinking after January is over and what that looks like for him (mostly I listened and held my tongue), and we had time where we were doing our own thing in separate parts of the house but it really felt more like we were doing so together. It’s hard to explain, but during the holidays we both felt lonely (upon reflection and after talking about it together in the last couple weeks we’ve come to this conclusion). There is definitely a vibe that is palpable when we are each doing our own thing and it feels very detached, almost like there really isn’t someone else in the same tiny house, a distance between us that I can only describe as “in the air.” Well, recently (really since he has been abstaining from drinking) its the opposite - we can be doing completely different things for hours and I still feel the connection to him, and he to me. It’s definitely psychological and possibly an attachment thing. When we FEEL closer to each other it sticks in our hearts and minds and we don’t actually have to be together to feel it. And I guess this is what I am afraid of losing when he starts drinking again. I am gearing up to have a conversation. It needs to happen. Wish me luck.
I’m grateful there are safe places on TS where I can share what’s in my heart. This is definitely one of them. @Sunflower1 and others who have said they feel a sort of way about sharing their gratitude and it not being “deep” - please know I am grateful for your share! It helps bring me down to earth when I get stuck in the clouds or heavy in my gut feelings. I would like to practice more gratitude for every day joys and things I take for granted at times. So I am grateful for the new humidifier I got yesterday for my plants and that I can stop moving my one big one all over my house now! I am grateful that I got Lupe up off the ground from her tantrum wearing her new winter booties and that her harness with it’s handle on top helped me get her going out of the garage, down the driveway, until she finally decided to walk of her own accord 
And I am grateful for early mornings and getting my walk on the treadmill out of the way before I take her out today so I will have more time in the rest of my day.
Always grateful for my amigos here, always!

I’m grateful I just learned I cannot listen to my Christian music for strength and do a gratitude list at the same time.
I’m grateful I have so many tools to give me strength to get through my days when they are stressful to me.
Grateful for music.
Grateful for my Christian music.
Grateful for walks, even if it’s a rushed 15 minute walk.
I’m most grateful yesterday when I was so stressed and overwhelmed I shared it with someone.
Then I did a 7 minute guided meditation with Richard Burr. I’m grateful I basically cried gently, but uncontrollably, for that 7 minutes releasing so much stress, and I actually felt my back pain leave my body. I’m grateful I did another 7 minutes of the same guided meditation straight away, without tears.
I’m grateful I was, and I am “Capable Of An Immediate Shift,” which is the title of the meditation.
I’m grateful for long chats with beautiful friends.
I’m grateful for short chats with beautiful friends.
I’m grateful I know I just have to let go of some things, especially the things I don’t even know why I feel I have to control.
I’m grateful for “what’s the worst thing that could happen?” It gets done later? It doesn’t get done on my schedule? I have to ask for help? 
I can’t do it all myself?
I’m grateful for what I did get done around here yesterday. I’m grateful I got a shitload done before noon. I’m grateful this will be the first time moving, and I’m in the waaaay early stages, and I won’t be drinking. I’m grateful for this “Another First.” I’m grateful to kick some ass on this other first, sober.
I’m grateful 3 years ago I came on here with a topic about planning a relapse for my 60th birthday. It was just going to be one night. I already had my wine picked out. I’m tearfully grateful I did that, and I can say I’ve not had any drink in my sixties. Thanks to caring supportive lovely strangers that for some reason gave a shit about me. I didn’t know anyone here then. And now I will be sober for my 3rd birthday in a row. (It’s not my birthday today. But it’s getting close.) I’m grateful for the magic of TS. It works if you work it. And we’re worth it.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today.
And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
And that’s all I’m gonna say about that 
I’m grateful for this amazing thread and the amazing people on it.
The reality is, when I drink or use or say ‘fuck it’ around any destructive behaviour, I don’t know when I’ll get my life back or what state it will be in when I do.

I’m grateful to have seen a rare leucistic red-tailed hawk this morning! She was almost completely white with only a few splotches of color on her wings. I didn’t have my camera with me, so I’m hoping she hangs around the area for a while. I’m so excited!
I’m grateful that Keely tested negative for Covid and only has a bad cold. 
I’m grateful to have gone out last night and taken some pictures of the full moon. It used to be one of my favorite things to photograph, and I’m trying to make time to get back into my photography. It is NOT like riding a bike.
I’m grateful for an attached garage. I took that for granted before moving to the mountains, but not anymore. It’s really nice to get into a warm Jeep when it’s single digits outside.

Today I’m grateful the day is over. I’m grateful for a good call with a colleague. I’m grateful for my loving Missi Cat who cuddled on me for hours today, there was no way I could do something without huging her
Grateful I enjoy such times without feeling guilty for not being “productive”. It’s just beautiful to be loved by a cat!
I’m grateful I’m sober. Therefore I don’t interact or speak with my completely drunken husband. I just take care the door is shut well so the cats stay inside the house. He sometimes leaves it open when he goes smoking outside and one day I will freak out because of that irresponsible fucking bullshit behaviour. I’m grateful I learned to let go my feelings through the sharings and experiences here on TS. I’m very grateful for it and thanks to all people I learned from
