I am greatful for the meme thread here! Im winning a meme war rn with that material lol. Im greatful for this thread getting me to dedicate time to gratitude. I have a long list so:
I am greatful for:
My husband and his stretch of sobriety.
Us not fighting and frustrated because we cant functionally communicate when we are both drunk.
Boscoe brightens my day, everyday.
My new job that never ceases to challenge me one month in. I have a feeling this position will keep challenging me and i will become a stronger leader because of it.
18 days AF
Living for today
Warm blankets and cuddles
A warm home with a happy family in it
Coffee, Tea and lots and lots of sparkling water
My family and supportive community
Ancestors before me
…id like to say the kids in front of me, but were screwed lol
Introspection
Growth
Working towards goals
Adding another day to my clock alcohol free
I’m still grateful for Ibuprofen mostly right now. I’m grateful that i learned how to get and out of bed without feeling like I’m getting ripped apart now. I’m grateful that I’m a little better than yesterday. I’m grateful for you all. @Callie99 I’m sorry you’re hurting, i hope the new day will treat you well.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful to be up early enough to have coffee in my chair at home instead of while driving to work. I’m grateful I called my parents last night and chatted with them. I’m grateful to have sat with my kids last night while they looked at recipes they want to try making this weekend. I’m grateful that during that time I had the thought “ why would I ever want to miss this again”- I spent a long time numbing the bad and it numbed those times too. I’m grateful @Dazercat got to have dinner with his family last night ( happy birthday), and that @Dan531 is recovering well. I’m grateful to make my list here this morning, it always helps my day be better.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Grateful for warm tea soothing my scratchy throat
Grateful for my new career coach even though I’m already feeling overwhelmed by the amount of ‘homework’ she’s given me.
Grateful for really warm snow clothes that let me go outside and enjoy a little sunshine on my face
Grateful to feel like I took care of myself this week even though I still feel sad about everything that has happened.
I’m grateful that it’s Friday and I can take a step back and relax a bit today. I’m grateful I kicked butt this week and got a lot accomplished, kept up my routines, moved my body and felt good doing it. I’m grateful that I recognized I am tired today, I woke up groggy and slightly headachy and I’m grateful this feeling doesn’t trigger me to think “what’s wrong with me?” Instead I can recognize that I’ve worked hard and I’m just tired and that’s okay!
I’m grateful I have lots of reading material, both “just for fun” reading and self improvement type reading and that I have decided to get cozy and read part of the day. I’m grateful my partner came up with the idea of loaded baked potatoes for dinner which is easy and requires only minimal prep. I’m grateful for laughter, the whole range of it from chuckles to chortles to guffaws to cackles to belly aching tears falling can’t stop laughing even though it hurts types of laughter. I’m grateful I’ve been laughing a lot in that whole range lately.
I’m grateful to have woken early this morning and have that quiet alone time to myself. I’m grateful for homemade hot chocolate and warm buttered sourdough bread.
I’m grateful for my books… grateful I can be reading several and still retain knowledge from each. That’s something I absolutely could not do when I was drinking. I’m grateful my mind is becoming a beautiful garden.
I’m grateful that today is new and full of wonderful possibilities. I’m grateful I want to live again and can see potential for growth and joy.
I’m grateful Caroline woke to more positive thoughts this morning. I’m grateful that with time and new perspective life does get better.
Last, but never ever least… I’m grateful for Eric. If I could zap myself right on over to Cali, I’d give him the biggest, longest bear hug. Happy birthday to you!!! I hope you can feel all the love being sent your way.
Today I’m grateful that the funeral of my late friend is over. It was wonderful, it was heartbreaking, so many people, such beautiful flowers, a lovely farewell ceremony. I’m grateful my husband and I met a lot old friends and colleagues there.
I’m grateful I finished an important task this morning. It feels good to tick off an item on the to do list.
I’m grateful for my snuggling, purring cats next to me.
I’m grateful I can head towards my bed even it is before 6 pm. I feel tired and exhausted, sleep will help
I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful I didn’t pick up a diet coke at work today. I walk by this machine several times a day and I need to focus. Tomorrow will be three weeks.
I am grateful I stand my point and won’t go to the meeting tomorrow. Many might not understand and honestly I don’t understand why it takes place anyways. I am grateful I can let it go.
I am grateful for the fantastic book I am reading atm.
I am grateful I rested today but managed to clean the apartment. Always take the chance when motivation hits. Always. As it is rare.
I am grateful I work in another building atm so I get 10.000 steps and over 10 floors a day easily and I am paid for it.
I am grateful it’s weekend. I am grateful for a nice chat with my neighbor this afternoon. I am grateful she is open and talkative.
Happy birthday @Dazercat Eric. I hope you have a wonderful day today! I wish you all the best for your new year
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful it’s my 3rd bday sober.
I’m grateful my morning routine has been waylaid with sleeping in. Birthday wishes from family and friends.
I’m grateful my son called me early this morning.
I’m grateful he’s going to be a sober Dad.
I’m grateful the only sober work I’m doing on myself this morning is gratitude.
I’m grateful my coffee was too weak. It’s better than no coffee.
I’m grateful my biggest decision today is to either rush a sunset walk at the beach? Or do I get another foot reflexology massage? I think I’m going with Happy Feet
I’m grateful we got all the hard stuff done getting ready to leave tomorrow.
I’m grateful for an end to an era with my wife and family and living part time in Santa Monica. The investment and time in Santa Monica has paid of and because of this place and of course many other reasons. Thank God I have my grown up children back and free from addiction.
I’m grateful we won’t be driving around here anymore bringing up the horror stories of addiction at different landmarks, where my children were struggling one way or another. I’m grateful I’ve learned so much about addiction through my children and I’ve finally been able to apply it to myself.
I’m grateful if I can pass on any knowledge of it to help anyone struggling.
I’m grateful I’m going to remember the lovely sunsets and beach walks in Santa Monica. And the couple of restaurants we like.
Couple hundred
I’m grateful I’m learning to accept affirmations about myself. But frankly I’m getting tired of crying.
I’m grateful I’m feeling shit for once in my life and not reaching for the bottle.
Get the tissue
I’m grateful I am who I am. I can’t do anyone else.
Wrap it up Eric.
Grateful for the love on TS.
I’m grateful for Stella’s topic on love. I think about it every day. I’m feeling love right here right now and it feels great And wet 🥲 I haven’t even read anything yet. But just coming on this gratitude thread I feel so much love. Maybe love is not trying so hard to look for it. And just accepting the love you know you got the way it’s given to you.
Dazercat
I feel very grateful right now.
I am grateful that I came home to a banana peel on the counter last night. It may seem strange but for my daughter it is progress on many levels. We have been working hard with a psychiatrist on helping her become more independent. Feeding herself when she feels hungry has been one of her challenges.
I am grateful that when I said “You had a banana!” With happy surprise in my voice she said “yes, I wanted something sweet but didn’t want to eat candy.” This is the other part I am grateful for. As a parent with addiction and an eating disorder trying to instill healthy eating habits in an autistic child has been a massive challenge. I feel like her behavior yesterday was a small pat on my back that I am very grateful for.
I am grateful for the newcomer that was at our meeting last night, and that something I shared resonated with her. We always share step one when we have newcomers. My step one is pretty basic. I realized I was powerless over addiction when 1. I came to understand that I wasn’t “just a meth addict” I was powerless against all substances and 2. Nothing could stop me from using not even the love for my child.
I am grateful that a couple days ago I looked up the sunrise schedule and considered getting my butt out to watch the sunrises. Since I checked their time I have been waking up at 6 without an alarm. I am grateful that this morning I took the hint that my higherpower was giving me and got down to the ocean.
I am grateful for the energy of the sun and the power it has to change the sky the most beautiful colors. I am grateful for colors and how they take my breath away. I am grateful that I was so overwhelmed with love today as I watched the sunrise that tears were streaming down my cheeks. My heart and soul are so full and I am so grateful for my life.
I am grateful that I was able to take a bazillion photos this morning of "Eric’s " sunrise. Happy Birthday to you @Dazercat have an amazing day.
Fucken aye that’s amazing.
I’m grateful for your progress with your child and the warm pat on the back you felt.
I’m grateful you can be an amazing loving thoughtful mother and friend.
I’m grateful to God, please help guide me today to be my best self while doing your will and remaining clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery with all its blessings and challenges. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for public transportation. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers and meditation. I’m grateful that Eric @Dazercat got to sleep in, Happy Birthday!! I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
God bless you all. &
Hi All, I’m grateful to be able to go to the gym with my sponsor upon reopening.
Grateful for Eric’s Birthday @Dazercat and that he received so much love, you deserve it friend!!
Grateful to be clean and sober and a little further from danger
Grateful for HP love and abundance.
Peaceful present moment with you guys!
I am grateful for my just shy of 110 days by a few minutes AF. It’s been a difficult week. My biggest trade show of the year is next weekend. It’s the last minute scramble to be ready. I’m grateful I’ve spent time fortifying my tools for staying sober. This is always a booze soaked 3 day sales and partying extravaganza. I have a determined sober plan for this event. I need this show for my business sales and I’m grateful it is able to happen in spite of Covid but I’m very concerned with the mass exposure I’ll have to the public. I’m beyond stressed but I’m grateful I’m not thinking about handling it by drinking.
I’m grateful for people who make me re-think old habits of thinking.
I’m grateful I don’t have to be in survival mode anymore.
I’m grateful I don’t have to be afraid.
I’m grateful for my friends.
I’m grateful for the kindness of others.
I’m grateful that TS is a perfect example of the goodness in people.
I’m grateful we take care of each other.
I’m grateful I worked on NA questions today.
I’m grateful that it’s both cathartic and terrifying.
I’m grateful that I haven’t missed a day of meditation yet this year.
I’m grateful that I love myself. I’m grateful that I can say that for the first time I think ever.
I’m grateful for my scrapbook of little me photos.
I am grateful to end another day with realizing how lucky I am
I am greatful for this thread and community. Im greatful for laughter…it’s a beautiful thing i havent really REALLY felt for a long time. I mean good ol laugh til you cry and your face and belly hurts. Im greatful for 19 days AF. Im thankful im seeing a better version of myself sober. Im greatful for all these days that ive gone…i know im no patron…but its the longest stint since atleast 2005. Im thankful for tea, sparkling water, and spoiling myself with delivery. Its expensive but its a treat i know i deserve. I am worth sobriety.
Happy Friday
Or do I get another foot reflexology massage? I think I’m going with Happy Feet 
of restaurants we like.
