I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze anymore.
I’m grateful I’m not hungover again.
I’m grateful for the fun little rant I had on the “Are You Effected By a Loved One Who is An Addict” thread. I’m grateful deep down. I am not tired of working on myself. Working on myself is working. I’m pretty content about it. I think I’ve totally surrendered to alcohol or addiction or however you want to put it. Most days. Trying to control the addict creeps in my head sometimes. But so much less frequently. And I remember how exhausting it can be trying to control people or addiction. And it never fucking works. And I’m grateful I can feel sad some days. And I’m grateful I can feel happy some days. And I’m grateful I feel pretty content most days.
I’m grateful for my Al-Anon reading this morning that I’m going to post on the “………loved one ………” thread. I don’t want to call it my thread. It’s for everyone and anyone who wants to learn what I’ve learned. Anyway…. “Taking the First Step” is not a matter of reading the words……”admitted we were powerless……” But of fucking living it!! Ok so it didn’t say fucking living it, but that’s what they meant. I’m grateful when I read my devotionals like that and can think to myself. Hey! Im doing that! Today anyway.
I’m grateful for Ricky Gervais and his humor and his love for dogs and the way he advocates for all animals. And, he’s a funny cunt
Gosh. I don’t know what else. But I’m grateful I feel good.

Today I’m grateful that I just hit 6 months of sobriety.
One of my fatal flaws, and part of having ADHD is not recognizing my small accomplishments. Never thinking I’m doing enough, even if I completed everything on my “to do” List.
I’m grateful that I haven’t succumbed to temptation or broken the promise I made to myself in regards to my sobriety.
I’m grateful to be alive today.
I’m grateful that my daughter had a great day skating with her class yesterday even though she was so nervous when I dropped her off.
I’m grateful for this app and the community support it provides.
I’m grateful for making it through another day with depression.

Today I’m grateful for self-employment. Grateful that on days like today, when I have cramps and feel uncomfortable and queasy I can have a nap after lunch. I’m grateful for a friend who called in the afternoon, otherwise I might have slept uninterrupted until tomorrow morning. I’m grateful this brings back memories from my early teenage years when I could sleep 24 hours / 7 days a week, only eat, read, sleep, repeat and drink one teapot after another. Makes me smile To be honest, when I’m on vacation it is still the same. Only in a hotel and I have to be dressed properly for mealtimes. What a nice realization
I’m grateful for a lot of smiles today, for a good chat with my friend, for funny times with the cats,for my cozy bed where I hit the pillow now. I’m grateful for a nice day

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a couple days off of work. I’m grateful that even though I am really struggling to have any motivation for anything, I managed to do some yoga to hep clear my mind a bit. I’m grateful that although I don’t know what’s causing me to feel so tired and unmotivated, I can roll with it until it passes. I’m grateful for take out for dinner tonight. I’m grateful there’s so much on TS to keep my mind occupied. I’m grateful I ordered the book that @apes2020 has been talking about recently (Meditations by Marcus Aurelius) and I can start reading it tonight. Maybe. If I can just find the motivation . I’m grateful for you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I’m grateful to God, thank you for guiding me through today, and helping me be clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery and all its blessings and challenges. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful my Mom, counsellor and sponsor reached out today. I’m grateful I didn’t fully freak out at work today( I did a little), it was very close, had I not done the work with counselling, therapy, sponsors , step work, voluntering, gratituding and so on, the old me would have come all the way out, told everybody where to go, and how to get there Lmao I would have walked out to never be seen again, instead I smiled (angrily)and breathed(frustratedly) walked away for a minute then came back with, when you… I feel …because…, I am sorry… how can we fix this … yada yada
I’m grateful that when I was told not to feel that way I didn’t flip the fuck out. I’m grateful the walk home with music was nice tonight as its not as frigid. I’m grateful I made myself lots to eat when I got in, after a little breathing and needed meditation, may have to do it again. Let go and let God. Why does some of this feel so hard some days, while other days it rolls off my back, c’est la vie!
I’m grateful for the link I got from the sober sports thread that has all the Nfl, Nhl and Nba games, been watching it alot. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful to God , please help me rest well tonight. Its one of those days I could probably continue to go on and on but just going to try and relax instead.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are a star, shine bright. Ya you
p.p.s. @seekingsolace HUGE congrats on your six months, keep moving forward.

I am grateful for the NA step working guide and the addicts who collaborated to create it.
I am grateful for step work, my own, and others.
I am grateful for the New Moon and the opportunity for fresh starts.
I am grateful that therapy will start 30 mins later from now on.
I am grateful that we didn’t get a dump of snow last night.
I am grateful for the snorts I can hear as my dogs start to wake up. I can imagine the bullies rubbing their faces on their blankets and Lyric grooming Nuggie back to sleep. I have seen it so many times it’s burned into my memory, the same sounds with the same actions.
I am grateful for lazy dogs that like to sleep until 9.
I am grateful for doggie diapers and clippers so I can keep Annie clean as she lives out these last few months.
I am grateful that I have been preparing myself for many years that I would lose my shepherds very close together.
I am grateful for Annie coming into my life. While I was working at the animal hospital she kept coming in to be recast, she kept re-breaking her foot. Finally, I went out to the waiting area to talk to her owner and got the story firsthand. Eventually, it came out that they needed to rehome her, and well, I had the perfect home.
I am grateful I had a dynamic duo shepherd team to work with while I owned a dog training company. One police-bred German and a Malinois/German cross, they were equally insane and the best of friends.
I am grateful for my life today.

Today I’m grateful for office @ home, for wood-burning stoves and the neat heat they produce, for cats sleeping in front of them. Grateful for mutual office time with my husband this morning, it went not too bad and the new desk is big enough for us both. Grateful for take away food and cat litter my husband brought home. Grateful for a lot of work that is done. grateful I was not productive after late lunch, instead I read the newspaper, rested a bit and came here to read around. Grateful it’s 5.30 p.m. and I feel ok with feeling tired. Grateful for my Missi cat who sleeps by my legs, purring

I’m grateful to have said goodbye to a decade that was chock full of life things, dreadful lows and wonderful joys and everything in between. I’m grateful for my husband who has been my steadfast best friend through it all and that we have grown together with love and respect.
I’m grateful even though I was unsure of the outcome, I listened to my growling tummy and managed to eat some soup. Wish me luck! I’m grateful the visual symptoms of migraine have subsided, but I’ll end this here for now to be safe.
Grateful to my TS amigos. Thanks for all the HBD messages
