I am grateful that I remembered that I had a choice today. That first thing this morning I woke up to something that set my day to a vibration I wasn’t really wanting. With tears in my eyes and sadness over following in my heart I chose to lay back in bed and do a meditation to ground myself. I am no use to anyone when I am in a chaotic state.
I am grateful that I have access to my tools when I need them today and that is due to my constant practice of them. Constant as in all the time, even when I am not aware. I am grateful that I am able to be present now so that while I was running my dog yesterday and was watching her have so much fun I noticed a silent flow of gratitude. It was so crazy, it was just flowing in the background of my mind as I watched her play. " I’m so grateful its not raining anymore and the snow has melted" , “I’m so grateful this ball doesn’t hurt her face” " I’m so grateful her toenail is healed well." on, and on, and on. That 24 hr flow of negative talk that i had running through my head had been replaced with a constant flow of gratitude.
I am grateful that I now have my answer to the question I asked myself a couple of months ago. " how did you pull yourself from so far gone with your addict?"
I am grateful my answer is that because of the constant flow of positivity all the negativity is weakening. The voice of my positive, higher self is LOUD while my addict tries to whisper from the other side. That day of the ADHD meds something literally forced the words " Call your sponsor" very loud out of my mouth.
I am grateful for where I am in my life, and I am grateful that others have the courage, and humility to be open and honest where they are at in theirs. We never have to be alone again in anything we do, never.
Love you guys.

I’m grateful to read so many wonderful things from all of you.
I’m grateful for how excited my husband got when he realized I had been sober for over two weeks. I’m also grateful he seems to be handling that travesty of a football game well.
I’m grateful I recognized that I’m spending too much time with screens doing work (it’s bizarre to me to be doing something I love so much that I can’t stop working lol) and I need to make an effort to put them down and breath.
I’m grateful for Advil, heating pads, comfortable couches, blankets, endless television and the freedom to take care of myself when my body is torturing me.
I’m grateful for my little dog who is ridiculous and cute.

This was such a breakthrough moment for me awhile back.
We basically conditioned ourselves to wake up grateful each morning. I know I have. I just think that’s pretty cool.

I’m grateful for the skilled surgeon’s delicate work today, she was truly wonderful. I’m grateful for the rest of the medical team, they were all great. I’m grateful it seems i only needed one pain killer after the procedure… it appears ibuprofen and Tylenol should carry me going forward. I’m grateful for the fear i have of narcotics, it’s probably the only reason why i never got addicted to them. I’m grateful to be ordered off work for 6 weeks (I’m gonna try to go back in 4). I’m grateful for all of you, you all mean more to me than you’ll ever know.

I’ll be grateful to sleep early tonight, night all!!

I am grateful that I get to know me better. And who thought that at 40 there were still things to learn about myself.
I am grateful I can say what is a fact about me without the akward feeling of fishing for compliments. Not always of course.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can go to work, really only Home-Office made me sick.
I am grateful that for so far I didn’t have to heat too much as gas prices are exploding and I have no other choice.
I am grateful I got a batch of sweet cats that won’t scratch me even when I am overcome with cuddles. They stay and might think: ahhhhh, it’ll be over soon. This is my little revenge for coming during the night checking on my face if I am still alive to feed them most probably.

I woke in the middle of the night in significant pain, I’m grateful to be alive and feel pain. I’m grateful for the ability to take this pain and bear it. I’m unwilling to risk taking anymore of narcotics prescribed even though i feel it would most likely be a non issue. I feel can’t always trust my brain, I’m grateful to know that i can’t always trust my brain. I’m grateful for you all, and this place to come.

I’m grateful to God I’m sober and hangover free and the slight headache I have is not from drinking last night and hopefully my wonderful espresso roast will chase my little headache away. Or more water.
I’m grateful I can take Advil if needed. I’m grateful I don’t have to worry about booze and Advil affecting my liver values. If I take Advil responsibly I hope I’ll be ok. I’m grateful I don’t take Advil every night for hangover prevention anymore.
I’m grateful the Ol Burner is on my lap.
I’m grateful to be looking over at the old girl lying in front of the fireplace listening to her snores.
I’m grateful I read about “Just For Today.” I’ve always applied it just to not drinking. Like just for today I won’t drink. But I can practice that with all the shit I got going on, trying to get out of here on Saturday. I’m grateful I know what I got to get done today. I’m grateful one of those things will be making time for my sunset beach walk.
I’m grateful for manis and pedis and that I treated myself to one yesterday. I even got the shiny buff 
I’m grateful for the 30 minute foot reflexology massage immediately after. I always feel like I’m tripping and out of my body when they work over my feet. I’m going to miss that the most.
I’m grateful for the chat my wife and I had yesterday. She thinks she’s the enemy and that you all must think she’s the enemy. I told her we are all our own worst enemy and how I try to make my recovery about me and not her. And I’m grateful I told her, and I accept half of the responsibility if not more, for the 38 years out of 40 we were drinking together. It was our life. It is our life. I’m grateful we got fucken dialogue man 🥲
I’m grateful I got the smartest daughter in the world. She told my wife. “Mom you’re never going
to un-live the day her children surprised her with that intervention last year.” And my wife acknowledged that yesterday. But she is also not ready to stop drinking today.
I’m grateful 40 years ago January I met this beautiful girl (I loved her cute bangs) that became my wife for better or for worse. And in sickness and in health. Until death do us part. 🥲
I’m grateful for hope.
I’m grateful for tissues.
I’m grateful I can share from my heart with y’all.
Jump-start Your Day With Gratitude
It’s the title of a book.
Frankly, I don’t think I need to read that one

I am grateful my wife stuck with me, she obviously didn’t have to. She is my biggest and loudest cheerleader!! Her love and friendship will get me/us through this!!
I’m grateful I have finally made this decision and can’t wait to see what the next 20 yrs of marriage holds. The 1st 20 was amazing, and now only getting better.
I’m grateful for my kids. They don’t know dad has quit drinking yet, I wanted to wait until I made it 30 days before I made yet another empty promise. Tomorrow is the day!!!
I’m grateful I found this community to get shit out of my head and help my mind relax.
