I’m grateful to God thank you for a nice clean and sober day. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for moments that leave me to believe in a power beyond me, for example, our @eph-M-eral who came up with the term gratidudes just texted me while I was writing this with a picture of her and her gratimom, I am so grateful for that pretty cool. I asked her if I could mention this, she said yes and that she says hello , not to worry she is busy momming, Lol I have said it before, adorable. I’m grateful that I got out for two and a half hours of walking today and visited numerous people in there homes that I haven’t got to see in the five weeks, give or take since I started working. I’m grateful that one of them was my friend who I took out for a nice dinner at Kelsey’s, my treat for his birthday, he got steak, I got salmon , we got an appatizer and dessert, it was delicious took over two hours and I’m still full, never did that shit when I was drinking and using, and I would have been upset when the cheque came, didn’t faze me sober. I’m grateful that I have plans to sit down with my sponsor tomorrow morning. I’m grateful for all the music I enjoyed while walking 10+ km today, I don’t have a pedometer or fit bit, I know I walk enough Lol I’m grateful I had a short but nice chat with my Mom today. I’m grateful for meditation and prayer. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
God bless you all 
& 
p.s. I cant believe I took a picture of my desert and not my dinner Lol I don’t normally do the picture of my food thing, anyway, you rock. Ya you!!

I’m grateful for being alive. I’m grateful for my two beautiful children and the time I get to spend with them this weekend.

Good morning Gratitdues 
and Happy NYE. I knew this was the first place I was headed this morning.
I’m grateful I don’t drink. I’m grateful my friends who live in and around Boulder are okay. My heart hurts for anyone effected. 2021 was the worst year of my life. I am honestly so ready for it to go. Whenever I leave a job I always try to ask myself what did I learn that I can take with me. I do my best to forget the bad parts and move on. So 2021 thank you for teaching me that I could climb 14 thousand foot mountains and not die. Thank you for teaching me about love. Thank you for teaching me about mental health and how important it is to check on the people you love. Thank you for teaching me to say I love you and say it a lot. Thank you for teaching me to be kinder to myself and others. Thank you for teaching me about grace in a break up. Thank you for teaching me I can get through anything. Thank you for teaching me how resilient I am. Thank you for keeping me safe, when I did everything I could to hurt you. Thank you for teaching me that it’s okay to feed and nourish myself. Thank you for teaching me about meditation and how to better deal with anxiety. Thank you for telling me I need to stop drinking. I’m grateful I listened and I will try my effing hardest to stay sober. Thank you for bringing this community and these amazing people who have become my sober family into my life
Thank you 2021 for making me who I am and making me that much stronger. I’m grateful for a new year and new things to learn. Let’s turn the page now

I grateful to wake up well rested and feeling good this New Years Eve…
Its a great day for reflecting on life. I’m grateful to be sober and to have clarity of mind.
New Years has been a holiday that I’ve always liked. It has always been a focal point for positive change. Sometimes those changes last, other times by January 2nd its business as usual for habits I wanted to break.
This year seems to have a reflect on how far I have come vibe. The best goal that I can come up with is to stay on course. Stay sober. Keep working on myself. Keep doing the next right thing. Keep staying out of bars, avoid parties where drinking will be involved. Keep on keeping my distance from drug users and dealers. Keep avoiding them like the plague. Because that’s what they are. They are a deadly plague that social distancing has been working to keep it from contaminating my life. 6 feet is not enough distance for that plague. As much distance as you can possibly have is effective. If they make eye contact, look at them like you will punch them in the face if they try and talk to you. Its been working. I am grateful.
Keep feeding my gratitude list with new things to be grateful for…
Yesterday was big ocean. It was fun because I was on my A-game from being clean and sober! We ended 2021 with a sober crew! 
I am grateful!

I’m grateful I don’t have massive amounts of liquor, wine and champagne in my house. I’m grateful when I go shopping I never have to hear the cashier say have a good party. When all the booze is actually for just my wife and me. I’m grateful I don’t have to search out the manager in grocery stores and stand around by the “good stuff,” waiting for someone to unlock the special glass case. I’m grateful for my second New Years without getting all liquored up for 48 hours. I’m grateful I’ll wake hangover free and actually get good sober sleep. I’m grateful I don’t wake up to the stink of dirty old leftover cocktails, and old gin, and sticky lemon juice, with a messy kitchen of dirty cocktail glasses. I’m grateful I have more room in my freezer since we don’t keep half a dozen frozen martinis glasses in there any more. I’m grateful I don’t go out and celebrate New Years. I never really did. As you can see I’m grateful I don’t drink anymore. I’m grateful I’m getting sick reminiscing here about it. New Years equaled a big Hall Pass for me to drink. Like flying. It was my time of year to really cut loose and say “Fuck It!”
I’m grateful my Hall Pass for drinking was revoked.
I’m grateful I survived it all those 45 years.
Im grateful I really don’t miss it. I don’t fucken miss it at all.
I’m grateful this was not part of my gratitude list in my mind this morning. I guess I needed this.
I’m grateful, like Brian, for the last 2 years, as fucked up and shitty as they have been. I think the isolation helped me with my sobriety. And what I’ve accomplished the last 2 years by just not picking up is good enough for me. No matter what else happened or didn’t happen.
I’m grateful for this gratitude practice. I hope we need a bigger boat.
I’m grateful for each and every one of you gratidudes, and the year full of gratitude that we all got to share. I’m grateful I can honestly say I read everyone of them. I could be wrong and missed a few. But my stupid pride thinks I read every one of them. And if that makes me feel good and keeps me from picking up. Then I’ll be a prideful sonofabitch about it.
I’m grateful when I checked the weather it said, “Sunny conditions will continue all day.”
Happy Fucken New Years Everyone. I’m doing mine sober.
Alcohol can erase a bit of you every time you drink it. It can even erase entire nights when you are on a binge. Alcohol does not relieve stress; it erases your senses and your ability to think. Alcohol ultimately erases yourself.

Edit:
I’m grateful I found Annie Grace on Twitter @thisnakedmind. I’ve heard a lot of y’all reference her. Excited to check her out in the new year.

I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to remain clean and sober. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for my recovery.

I’m grateful that my sponsor didn’t get too upset that I slept in and missed our morning talk and coffee, oops. I think I am beating myself up more about it than he is
I’m grateful for warm showers and coffee.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are absolutely amazing. Ya you!!

I’m grateful that 2021 will be the last year I ever drink alcohol. I’m grateful I haven’t replaced my addiction with another one. I’m thankful I can see how easy it is to fall into that mindset.
Like Caroline @Callie99, I’m grateful for these mountains that surround me here in Colorado and the ability to climb them. I don’t do technical climbing, but I love the steep hikes… and it’s a blast to go across boulder fields. There’s no other feeling that comes close to being at the top of a mountain. 
I’m grateful to be heading to Keely’s to stay for the weekend. Every time I go visit, it’s like a mini vacation. She’s kind and thoughtful. I’m grateful for her and how sweet she is. 
I’m grateful for silly things… like French fries, bubbles, laughing, cozy pajamas, road trips, and purple nail polish.
I’m grateful that two of my kids have made the choice to be sober, and that they’re both doing so well. Keely has never had a problem with drinking and rarely drinks at all. I’m so thankful for that. 
I’m grateful for my life and the connection I’ve found here with y’all. Happy New Year

Good evening all,
I’m grateful that New Years Eve has never held much allure for me. This will be the second one sober, I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful that hearing coworkers talk about going out and drinking just makes me feel tired and queasy. I’ll take my tea and fuzzy socks thanks very much. Im grateful I’ll be up working out tomorrow while they are trying to nurse hangovers. I’m grateful we are getting rain today. I’m grateful for my kids and my husband.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I am grateful I started the new year with a clear head and slept until half past 6. Then Dora and Paula began to bite my feet. They seem yummy.
I am grateful I have a warm bed, enough food, electricity, some good friends.
I am grateful I have found sobriety, even when it’s hard some days, weeks or even months but drinking wouldn’t help shit with that. I would make it worse.
I am so grateful that the cats are fine.
I am grateful I am fine.
I am grateful we are here fighting the good fight.

I am grateful I made it through 2021.
I am grateful for the friends who didn’t make it through 2021.
I’m not grateful that they didn’t make it … but very grateful for them and the time that they were in my life.
I’m grateful that I didn’t have super challenges to get through 2021. Some seemed overwhelming at the time, yes, I guess that is just Life.
I’m grateful to be able to look forward to 2022, it seems like a very big number, going forward in the 2020’s!
I’m grateful that I am going to look for it to be a good year, that is my wish and my hope, for all of us. For our world.
I’m grateful that my kitty cat’s blood work came back today and it was all perfect, including her urinalysis, which the vet said was remarkably clear! Yay! She’s just slightly overweight.
Grateful for all of you and the trust, companionship, help and camaraderie that is shared.
Grateful that we will all be together to go through the challenges that will be in front of us, no matter what they are.
There will be challenges.
Grateful that we are not alone.
Grateful that @anon74766472 has Paula and Dora, a whole new world opened up to her.
Grateful it’s 2022.
