Today I am grateful for:-

Having a roof over my head, a warm bed and food in unsettled times
For waking up with no hangover
For paying a chunk of my credit card off, and a plan to clear all my debt I caused when drinking and not being able to stay in a job. It will take time but relieved not to be hiding from it
For wanting to improve me and my life
For you all ❤️‍🩹

Hello,

I am grateful for my partner. We have been through a lot together. He lost his father last year, around the same time I got sober. We were on our own separate roller coaster rides in one relationship and under one roof. I have definitely given him reasons not to trust me and haven’t been the best partner while in my addiction. Getting sober was mostly because I was at rock bottom but I also couldn’t stand the thought that I put our relationship at jeopardy.

He has stuck by my side through all of the ugly and hurt and has been understanding and forgiving and proactive and for that, I am forever grateful for him. He came into my life for a reason and I will cherish him forever.

This is such a worthy goal and gratitude. I so very much want the peace of mind of being debt free. So many of us live as slaves to our debt. It’s a burden that weighs us down. Thanks for sharing this gratitude Marie. It resonated with me.

I’m grateful for the funny new avatar above. It put an inquisitive grin on my grateful face this morning. Welcome Mel.

I’m grateful I don’t drink anymore.
I’m grateful I don’t even want to drink anymore. I’m grateful I don’t have to say that stupid phrase. “I’m not drinking any less either :man_facepalming:.”
Im grateful I was up in the dark this morning praying and talking with God by the flickering fireplace. And not rushing to get to my devotionals because I got things to do today. Just peacefully sitting quietly with God :pray:t2: Not necessarily even praying. Just being :pray:t2:
I’m grateful the little things that tried to fuck me up this morning didn’t bother me. Forgot my glasses. Spilt my tea. Didn’t have the coffee prepped properly. Heater isn’t working on one side of the house.

I’m grateful I planted a seed for my daughter and sister to chat on the phone about family history and health a week back. I don’t think they’ve ever really talked before because of our past estranged relationship. I got a message from my sister saying they had a really nice chat :heart: They both have a ton in common. Especially living with no immediate family around and being surrounded by spouses family. And only spouses family. :grimacing: I pray they can continue some kind of a distant relationship with modern technology. And I will butt out.

I’m grateful I’ve blown off my afternoon walk’s because it’s just too friggen cold out and life got in the way the past couple of days. I think I’m driven to walk mostly to prevent weight gain. And of course for the psychological benefits. But I don’t feel bad now when I take a couple of days off. I will get back to it. I always do.

I’m grateful for reading about, and having a show I’m watching, talk about the importance of having hope. I don’t know how to work on that in some areas of my life. On the show The After Life. The widow is telling the widower “I’d rather you have hope than be happy.” Because he’s finally happy. But he doesn’t have hope. :thinking:. I grateful it’s a great defense mechanism not to have hope. Then you’re never let down. But then you’ll never get what you want. I’m grateful today I’ll be happy. If hope comes a knocking. Maybe I’ll let it in. I don’t know.

I’m grateful I can gibber jabber about my shit right here.
I grateful for y’all. And grateful I’m don’t with gratitude for now. I’m grateful I’ll feel gratitude during most of my day, because that’s what my gratitude work has done for me and I’m grateful for that.
:pray:t2::heart:

I spent way more time catching this than I probably should have but it was fun. I’m grateful for learning how to do screen shots. It’s fun.

I’m grateful for 4 months sober. I’m grateful for 4 months without a hangover. I’m grateful for this app and community that helped me get those 4 months and on a journey to a better me.
Edit: In case you’re wondering what Sober Banquets is all about. It’s a personal milestone I added because I have 2 business trade show banquets coming up this month where drinking is ridiculous.

I’m grateful for waking to a new day. I’m grateful for stretching the night’s slumber from my muscles. Stretching feels really good, doesn’t it?

I’m grateful I’m getting out of the house again today. This is big for me, y’all. Yesterday was great, because my hike was out in nature with no one around. Today involves going to the market(s) for groceries. I’m grateful my husband will be there. I’m grateful I’ve learned ways to block out others’ energies, so that I can accomplish these necessary tasks. That doesn’t always work, and I’m grateful that I don’t lay as much shame on myself as I used to. I need to wear a warning sign… “Major construction in progress”. :upside_down_face: I’m grateful I’m better prepared than I was last weekend. Panic attacks are truly awful.

I’m grateful for all the “rock steady’s” here. You touch lives and make differences each and every day. Thank you for being here. :purple_heart:

It’s funny you say that. I connected with an old business associate at the last show that had fallen back to drinking during a divorce and Covid. He approached me about my sobriety and we talked and talked. He’s getting sober again now. It was amazing to connect that way with him.
