Tough acts to follow, Jason and Brian…
Here goes, grateful for waking up this morning. Grateful for walking 10,000 steps with my sponsor today early in the mall.
Grateful for my loving and caring Hunny.
Grateful I will share at my sponsors’ anxiety and depression meeting tonight and contribute.
And especially grateful to have reached my weightlesss target even though I’m a gonna go a little further
Let’s enjoy another 24 friends
Thanks Tony. I see you joining in on here and the meditation, selfies , great minds and all that
I am grateful for Epic sagas like Star Wars and many more. I just started watching the new Boba Fett on Disney and had to come say even after 30+ years of watching this guy, a lot of the characters still draw me in. My inner child is beaming.
@Its_me_Stella 2 years is quite amazing! Happy birthday/ sober date, I am very grateful for you!
I am grateful to be sober. Saw a Danish movie yesterday, called der Rausch where some teachers tried to enhance their skills/life by having a constant level of alcohol. It failed. Who wonders. I am grateful I don’t doubt this anymore. I am grateful I was not thinking, ahhh how funny it was to stumble the stairs upwards and feeling like shit. When I watch a movie like this I can grasp the feeling. Thank you mirror neurons.
I am grateful that all went well with Dora and Paula over the holidays.
I am even glad I went home for Christmas as I don’t want to be in public transport during the next few months tbh.
I am grateful that for most things I face in life there is a solution. I am happy the cats eat the new wet food.
I am grateful for this thread and all you guys participating and sharing.
Hello guys I am grateful @Bootz showed me how long its been since I posted here.
I am grateful to God
I am grateful that my kids are still feeling me out but accepting me and my love
I am grateful that Christmas lasted 3 days and was with the people that love me for me even 4 1/2 months ago
I am grateful I will have two jobs next week and be a full time student starting 1/10
I am grateful I live in a safe sober place
I am grateful that every day I think more about the good parts of my life than the regrets
I am grateful my therapist calls me on BS when I need it and knows me well enough to let other things go until I see the crap for myself
I am grateful for the treatment I completed this year and the lessons I let myself surrender to
I am grateful for page 62 in the Big Book because it was written with just me in mind
I am grateful that another year is passing and I am in a better place than I was this time last year
As always I am grateful for you
Love and good thoughts to you all
I’ll do better posting
congrats on two years that is so awesome. I have been slacking the last couple of weeks so to see your milestone is very encouraging so thank you but I really must say that being “graciously hood-like” made my 2021 thanks hun
I’m grateful waking up after a great night’s sleep. For staying strong yesterday on a very weak moment, i was angry and annoyed and had a great urge to start drinking. But i stayed quiet, took deep breaths, told myself no. It worked. Grateful for having made appointments with friends i hardly see these days because we live wide apart. Grateful for my job and contract renewal next week. They have taken me on for the second time while i felt i didn’t deserve a second chance but they are very kind. I started off already bad and ungrateful again, showing up with hangovers, but now it’s different. Grateful also that financially i’m doing really ok.
Good morning all!
I’m grateful for good sleep last night and to be up early for my morning coffee time before driving north to home today.
I’m grateful for this coffee and all the coffee. Ha!
I’m grateful that I got this time on this vacation and had fun and relaxed.
I’m grateful to have the resources to have this trip.
I’m hopeful we will have safe travels home.
I wish you all a day of peace!
Good morning beautiful people! I’m going to keep this short this morning as I woke up with a pounding headache for no apparent reason so looking at screens not currently enjoyable…I am grateful for peppermint oil and how magically it helps headaches. I am grateful for another day. I am grateful for my family and dog. I am grateful for this community.
I’m grateful for waking up this morning.
I’m grateful for living in a safe warm place for my kids and I.
I’m grateful for my dad who calls me often, invites me over frequently and tries hard to support me.
I’m grateful for the people I’ve met here so far who have been supporting me through this difficult time in my life.
I’m grateful for a day of from dad life so I can rest and recoup.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for living in Canada.
I’m grateful for being alive.
I hope your headache eases soon. Warm hugs!
I’m grateful for dogs and kitties. Particularly mine
I’m grateful for my comfy, cozy bed. I’m grateful for my 94th sober morning. I’m grateful for empathy and compassion. I’m grateful that it’s been a big part of my recovery thus far, both giving and receiving. I’m grateful that I’m learning about shame and worthiness and how it fed my addiction. I’m grateful that we are all equals here, that we are all addicts, and that our shared humanity can help heal us. That it may not keep us all sober, but it sure gives us a better shot.
Today I feel like I’m bursting with gratitude! I’m happy.

I’m grateful I started my TS day with the meditation challenge usually it’s gratitude first. Always gratitude first.
I’m grateful I’m not very sick if I’m sick at all.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful I don’t drink.
I’m grateful for chats with special friends
I’m grateful I think the ten minute meditation might have helped my minor morning headache.
I’m grateful I stayed up real late sharing
I’m grateful my sharing feels good to me when I do it.
I’m grateful for my morning, sitting in the darkened room with my little fireplace flickering, little drugstore Christmas tree, dogs snoring and rain still coming down.
I’m grateful I’m not a drunk anymore.
I’m grateful my kids are good.
I’m grateful I thought about the hassle and the stress of moving outta here this morning and then let it go.
I’m grateful for my morning quiet time.
I’m grateful for my alone time. Maybe too grateful for that.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today and I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful the weather should clear up tomorrow for the foreseeable future.
I’m grateful I’m not getting shitfaced New Year’s Eve. And even more shitfaced New Years Day. It was always a continuous, full blown, 2 day bender for me. I’m grateful I probably won’t be crying with heart breaking sadness this New Year’s Eve.
I’m grateful if my kids are good I’m good. I’m grateful I know my happiness shouldn’t depend on how my kids are. But it is what it is. And I can still be grateful for that.
A sack of “Oh Wells,” is lighter than a bag of “What Ifs.”
@shopnography
Ahhhhhhhhh… I don’t even know where to start I am so grateful for my life today.
I am grateful for laughter and easy conversations. The type of conversations that just flow… like you have know a human forever. Yeah those ones, I am especially grateful for them.
I am grateful for all the people that helped me celebrate my birthdays yesterday. Yesterday was my best birthday ever, I honestly never remember having a better one.
I am grateful that I stepped outside my comfort zone yesterday and had guests over. It was my first time entertaining since being clean… actually, hahaha it was my first time entertaining (more than 2 people) in over 12 years. That was where my addiction took me straight down the rabbit hole to isolation and complete filth where I at least had the dignity not to subject anyone to my disgusting home.
I am grateful that isn’t my way anymore and that in fact I am obsessively clean and worried people will be opening my shower to check the inside ledge of the door frame.
I am grateful for the energy I feel beaming from my core I am on fire and I hope it never gets snuffed out again.
I am grateful for the coolest 2 year medallion evah.
Right!!! That’s awesome.
I’m grateful to God, please help guide me to be my true self while remaining clean and sober today. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. More later.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You rock. Ya you
That’s a very cool 2 year medallion, @Its_me_Stella. Suits you.
I’m grateful to be a lot more settled today. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about drinking, but the impulses were less strong and easy to dismiss.
Grateful that all six of us are together in the same room right now. All doing our own thing, but all perfectly content and listening along to the same music. It’s lovely. When we were first forced into lockdown last year, it turned out to be a magical time for our family. We spent a lot of time together and enjoyed each other’s company. Grateful that I feel the same again about our little period of isolation now. F@#k Covid.
Grateful for my in-laws. The are lovely, kind and generous people. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with them over the next 8 or 9 days. I am going to try to speak French with them as much as I can. My French is awful, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to improve it.
Grateful for the clarity of thought that my sobriety has allowed me. I look forward to seeing how much better it gets as my sober time increases.
Have a beautiful sober day, all.
Thank you so much Carolyn!! I am always grateful for YOU!
I’m grateful you got such a nice coin
