I am grateful to be sober. It never gets old the split second when I realize, nooo, I don’t drink anymore. I don’t feel sick in the morning due to drinking, purging, crying myself into bad sleep.
I am grateful Dora and Paula let me sleep atm.
I am grateful for all I have. I am grateful I feel better when I make a decision, no justification towards others. It’s my life.
I am grateful I get to go cycling with my brother in may. It’s been some time. I am grateful we are going to get time together.
I’m grateful to God, thank you for another day clean and sober, please help me to rest well. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for all my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for humor. I’m grateful for my job. I’m grateful for showers. I’m grateful for meditation. I’m grateful that I have things to work on , like maintaining a better sleep schedule, eating habits, stop the gambling I started, pay the rent I owe. I have been using the excuse that I don’t like my landlord and he really is a slumlord , so I have not rushed to pay him, I have the money hidden in an envelope in my room, but it is making me feel bad knowing I should have paid over a week ago once it came to my attention. I’m grateful that I feel bad that my sponsor and sponsees have all stopped talking to me and after weeks of trying I gave up trying to reach them. I’m grateful to get these hard things out kinda into the open but may need some of y’all to gently remind me to stay on these things, that prayers, daily readings, meditation, work and a couple 12 step meetings a week on top of daily gratitude doesn’t mean everything will fix itself. I’m grateful to be willing to ask for help with maybe a yoga challenge as my winter weight is piling on and I can feel the difference. I’m grateful to admit being lonely has led to watching adult videos which i never did much in the past and fear it could become a problem, as many have said, myself included I am an addict and can easily get hooked on just about anything that feels good. I’m grateful to get this out there as I needed to, it has been building and making me sad and angry. I’m grateful I feel safe to mention it all here and hope it doesn’t seem inapropriate for our gratitude thread. I’m grateful for the H.O.W. of the program as well as the courage to change. I’m grateful that the first few days of year three are already challenging me to be better… lets goooo!!
God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you.
Grateful to be there for my partner, she caught Covid.
Grateful no symptoms for me yet.
Grateful to have lost weight, now I can just maintain.
So much to learn on TS, grateful for reading advice and ‘lessons’
Grateful to be sober and have low, low cravings.
Just this present moment ~ together we can 
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for being self employed so I can go away for a couple of days whenever I want.
I’m grateful to be fit and healthy enough to climb a fell (though it felt like a mountain at the time).
I’m grateful to live in a part of the world that is beautiful.
Have a great day x
Oh and I’m also grateful that I saw my first snowdrops of the year, spring is on the way 
Today I’m grateful for a good morning with a lot of errands done. Grateful I can rest after cooking lunch. I feel grumpy because all the chores consumed the time I wanted to spend at the office before lunch. I’m grateful I did them anyway. I will check on H.A.L.T to find out what really made my mood change from ok to grumpy. Grateful for HALT 
I’m grateful that all of my paperwork for surgery has gone through. I’m grateful to be in slightly less pain today. I’m grateful that I’m sober and alive. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for ibuprofen mostly fuck Tylenol. I’m grateful the snow stopped, i don’t think I’ll be snowblowing again soon. I’m grateful for you all and this place.
So grateful to read all the updates in this thread. I’m grateful for everyone sharing what’s going well and I’m grateful for everyone sharing their challenges.
I’m grateful for support in my hardest moments. I’m so grateful to have people that pick up the phone when I call them. I never answered my phone in addiction. Whether I was drinking or hungover or anxious from those things, I never picked up. I was never there fully for anyone.
I had a rare and out of control strong craving Tuesday night. The whole day I was angry, none of my tools were working. I couldn’t seem to find myself, it was like I was gone. I reached out to a friend and it got me through the night. Sober and infuriated.
I have been having scary and sad dreams about my aunt who has been starting awful drunk fights with everyone. I’m so so grateful she forced me to confront this last night. I was able to focus on my own behavior and what I need if we’re going to have a relationship moving forward. This flipped her switch and she went off.
I’m so so grateful I knew arguing, proving my side (hi ego!), Or any of my usual responses wouldn’t be helpful. I’m so grateful I didn’t take any of the bait, even when she brought my deceased mother into the conversation. It was hurtful, the outcome (her telling me to never speak to her again) is not what I wanted and it makes me feel sad. But if I had gone to that low place with her, or given in & removed my boundaries I would just feel 1000% worse.
I’m grateful for change!!!
I’m grateful for life in sobriety, not because it’s #amaze & nothing but light & love but because I can be authentically me. I don’t have to drink to avoid the real way I feel about things. I don’t have to do and say things I’m not comfortable with just to ‘make things easier’.
I’m grateful to be 31 and finally learning a pinky-nail’s amount about who I actually am.
Today I am grateful that I’m making more progress on my to-do list, and when I have thought about not wanting to work on something in particular, I have gotten up and worked on it right away - take action and spend less time dwelling. @erntedank I think it was you saying to spend 5 minutes on something just to keep it moving, and it is a similar idea to what I’m trying. It works. It feels good to be making some incremental progress each day and to be less inclined to my usual “I have to do it all and do it perfectly or not at all” tendencies. I am grateful I can recognize this as progress in my thinking that is showing up in my behaviors.
I am grateful to be grateful - like lots of others here have said, when gratitude shows up as an impulse and without “trying,” it is evidence that our practice of gratitude is paying off, it’s becoming part of our psyche and is becoming imbedded in our neural pathways. How freaking cool is that?! We are actively changing the structure of our brains and proving that neuroplasticity really exists well beyond traditional views of brain development (used to be believed that brains are fully developed by our early 20s and then it’s all degradation from there…not so!). I am grateful I studied psychology in college and am still fascinated by science and it’s evolution via research. @ShesGotMoxie I really need to check out your brain science thread soon! I’m grateful you started it and it’s been on my mind.
I’m grateful that the bitter cold winter days usually mean the clearest skies, beautiful, bright star scapes, moon rays and sun beams, and calming pastel swaths at daybreak and twilight.
Always grateful for my amigos here.
I’m grateful we had a reprieve from the snow in the valley. The weather has allowed construction to resume on the Habitat for Humanity triplex that’s going up in town. I know these families are looking forward to having new homes this summer. I’m grateful for the volunteers who give their time for this project. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to help out. It makes me happy to imagine the life these families will bring to these houses.
I’m so very grateful for my oldest daughter. I’m grateful that although we live states apart, we’ve never been “out of sight, out of mind” to each other. I’m grateful for her perspective on things, that she shares new music with me, and we get excited about the same silly stuff. I’m grateful we get each other.
I’m grateful for my husband. Some of my shares may not portray that, but those are only small pieces of a much larger puzzle. I’m grateful he loves to cook as much as I do, and we’re often in the kitchen together. He sometimes forgets that he’s the sous chef, but we’re working on that. 
I’m grateful for the days he prepares the main meal. It helps tremendously when I’ve had the chicklets all day. Eric speaks often of how he and Kelly are a good team. I’m grateful I can see that with my husband. We are a good team, too. Our relationship ebbs and flows along the shoreline of love. I’m grateful I have y’all for when the ebbing becomes too much.
I’m thankful for y’all.
I’m grateful for happiness and tears.
I’m grateful for tears of happiness.
I’m grateful I shared my happiness with someone yesterday without feeling I might be bothering them.
I’m grateful I must be feeling good about myself because I got a lot of sober selfies in my phone and I’ve actually kept quite a few of them.
I’m grateful I realize this sober life is so much better than the best day drinking.
I’m grateful to be able to just feel my feelings.
I’m grateful I didn’t have a headache this morning.
I’m grateful I had Benson on my lap and Mavy came in and snuggled on my left side arm pit and chest.
I’m grateful I didn’t get mauled by the cat. You see, Benson is a barker. The slightest thing can set him off. When there is a cat snuggled on you and he starts barking at something you can get seriously injured as the cat claws come out and dig into you for traction to escape 
Anyway always grateful when that doesn’t happen.
I’m grateful we got my bday dinner at Spago tonight with my daughter and SIL. (Still not my birthday)
Grateful for Becky starting and maintaining the happy birthday thread. @Ravikamor
I’m grateful I’m even talking about my birthday. All my life for some reason I never mentioned “my birthday.” I would never tell people. It’s just another fucking day. Lot of food for thought there.
I’m grateful I think it just boils down to what I thought, people thought about themselves on their birthday. I don’t know what people think when it isn’t their birthday. How the fuck would I know what people think when it is their birthday? I’m grateful I don’t know what anyone thinks at any given time. I’m grateful this word salad makes sense to me. A lot of sense and I need to use this in my life.
I’m grateful all that jibber jabber brought up the memory my wife or girlfriend sent me a dozen roses to the Deli on my birthday. Must of been 39 years ago. Ya I cried even then.
Im grateful I haven’t run out of tears yet.
I’m grateful for y’all.
Im grateful for this gratitude practice I do because it always starts my day off in a good mood. And it basically just makes me happy.
Oh. And I’m grateful i spread my love yesterday and I’m pretty sure I cheered someone up on here and I invited her to this thread. I hope you’re lurking. You are loved. 
I am grateful for the wonderful gift of witnessing a sunrise or a sunset.
The Gratitude Habitat
Edit:
I’m grateful I shared my birthday rose memory with Kelly just now. She said it was probably Valentine’s Day 
Fuck 
I’m grateful for my sobriety and living as honest as possible.
I’m grateful for these precious minutes and hours I get to spend with my love whose been given a grave diagnosis.
I’m grateful my sober home will still be there when I return from this leave for my love.
I’m especially grateful to my new sober friends from the rehab and sober homes and meetings. They’ve been so lovely to me and helpful during these moments of hardship.
I’m grateful for the Lord’s strength and courage given to me as I face bouts of sorrow, loss and confusion.
I’m grateful for my spiritual mentors and Godly friends in Christ.
Im so grateful for this app and all of you whom are open and willing to discuss similar and different obstacles we face in life.
Life on life’s terms … I once hated all these AA/NA sayings yet now I adore them.
I’m grateful for my street brother whom helps so much!
I’m grateful for having a heart of gratitude today.
I’m grateful for being interviewed twice already for a sales position.
Please hold myself, my love David, my friends and family up in your prayers.
Merci beaucoup
Love,
Alison

I’m grateful that it sounds like my parents are coming to visit Sunday.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You rock. Ya you!!
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a short day at work. I’m grateful for workouts and yoga. I’m grateful the fish I cooked for dinner was edible! Pretty good even! I’m grateful tomorrow is Friday. I’m grateful my kids are healthy, happy, and learning to navigate their lives a bit. I’m grateful I’m sober and figuring my stuff out so I can help them figure theirs out. I’m grateful for laughing with my husband at a funny YouTube video.
@Callie99 , I’m sorry you are hurting. I hope you can get some rest and have a better day tomorrow.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Grateful that I can live mindfully… I have anxiety visiting me today.

Grateful to be willing to attend online Emotions Anonymous tonight.
Grateful Hunny’s Covid symptoms arent worse.
Grateful for the 12 steps.
Grateful to be in the present moment ~ together we can!
I am grateful to almost be 20 days sober.
I talked to someone today who I knew in the height of my “life is completely fucked up and I’m barely holding on” time, when I was sad and grieving my parents and angry and chain smoking and drunk a lot. I told him I exercise, and quit smoking and now have quit drinking and he didn’t even know what to say. I’m grateful that in 8 years my life is barely recognizable to what it was before.
I’m grateful that I recognized I needed to get sober because of things that happened with a couple friends in the last few years. I’m very sad that one of those friends wasn’t able to recover and died a few days ago. It’s surreal to think she’s gone, but not surprising, which makes me even more sad.
I’m grateful for all the little plant babies I put in soil. So excited to watch them grow.
I’m grateful I got my sellers permit today so my shop is going to open on my projected date of 2/2/22!
I’m grateful to be clearly able to remember all of this and work on all of this because it’s so exciting and it would really suck to be going through this half in the bag all the time.
I’m grateful that I saw a room full of alcohol in a show today and all it did was make me feel sad for the passed out girl in the middle of the room.
I’m grateful for sun and dogs and fresh air and love.
Gosh. This has your power over your addictions written all over this post. I hope you are feeling proud. You have made tremendous strides and I can’t wait to see pics of your shop if you can share!!!
Oh wow, thanks so much, that means a lot. I guess trying this multiple times paid off, huh? I finally learned the lessons! I will definitely post pics of the shop!
