Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

[Cherry_Kisses]

I’m grateful that God sent me the most amazing sponsor.

I’m grateful that I have an opportunity to have a better relationship with my savior, because it’s been very rocky for the last 4 years.

I’m grateful that my sponsor is an addiction counsellor, and she is also studying to become a pastor. I could not have asked for a better person.

I am grateful that I can work the steps with her, and I am grateful for my home group of beautiful souls.

I am so humbled. Thank you God!

OH and the cherry on top, 7 days clean. 🤸‍♀🤸‍♀🤸‍♀

[Alisa]

I’m grateful to @I.cant.We.can for saving his housemate. Good job, Brian. It’s a heart you kept beating.
I’m grateful for @ Derrick English for telling me that I could get free Narcan, which I did.
If somebody’s in my home and they’re overdosing, I’m going to save them, hopefully. I don’t even know anybody at present who would be here that might be, but if they are, I will, and I am grateful that the reversal drug now is free, or over the counter, and accessible to so many to save lives.
Grateful for all of you.

[Sunflower1]

Hey Brian- that sounds rough and scary. I’m grateful you were there, sober, and able to help. I’m grateful that you are taking care of yourself after that. I hope you can rest and have a peaceful day tomorrow ( today).

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful for another hangover free morning.
I’m grateful Benson is on my lap.
I’m grateful for a good nights sleep.
I’m grateful for Daisy purring on my chest
at 5:15 am and letting me get 2 more hours of sleep.
I’m grateful for the friends I’ve made on TS.
I’m grateful I know drinking is no longer fun for me and just causes me trouble.
I’m grateful for the life changing adventurous challenges this year is going to bring, God Willing. And I’m grateful I will be calm and sober to reach new milestones in my life.
I’m grateful I got my 3 1/2 mile walk in yesterday morning.
I’m grateful I went out and found a new chiropractor and I will interview him tomorrow. I’ve never changed doctors before and I’m, currently, confident I know what I’m looking for in a chiropractor, and the guy I have now is good. I guess. We just don’t have that “vibe.” I hope I like the new guy.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful gratitude works.
I’m grateful for my totally random playlist on my walk yesterday, listening to so many different things. Comedy tracks, musicals, piano, rock, Christian, etc… it’s kind of fun to let God pick my music on random.

Gratitude is of the very essence of worship.

Oh my gosh, I have no idea why I don’t come on here first thing every morning, I really don’t. It puts me in such a wonderful place but I haven’t read this thread in 7 days and I have no idea why. I’m grateful I’m back here even though I haven’t read everything from the last week, sorry!

I’m grateful to be starting my second week open at my shop.

I’m grateful that I’m feeling excited and optimistic even though my first week was underwhelming.

I’m grateful that even though it feels like someone is trying to sabotage me, I’m not getting sucked into that rabbit hole of pointlessness and instead just letting it roll away and moving on (mostly lol).

I’m grateful I’m not spending money on alcohol to try to deal with the fear of not having enough money to pay bills. I did that a lot in my life and it just makes absolutely no sense at all…until I realize that’s what you do when you’re addicted to something. I used to always find money for cigarettes and alcohol, even when it was desperately needed for something else.

I’m grateful to be sober and clear headed and living my dream, and accepting that sometimes a part of living your dream is dealing with the terror of putting yourself out there and taking huge chances.

I’m grateful for all of you and I hope everyone has a sober and peaceful day.

[CATMANCAM]

Netflix and Prime, for helping me to eat proper meals. Also for the entertainment when I manage to watch something without eating.

Colours, for making life beautiful.

The nap I’ve had this afternoon, and for waking up feeling much better.

How amazing it feels when I manage to clean my flat, take a shower, and brush my teeth.

Satnav & Google maps, for helping me find new places.

Everyone that works in the emergency services and healthcare, and for the lives they save and improve.

Equality and Diversity, though we’ve got a long way to go, we have also came a long way.

Inheriting my mum’s green eyes.

Heaters, radiatiors, duvets, and blankets. For keeping us all warm in the colder months.

The lady who served me today when I picked a few groceries up, our shared appreciation for brighter days.

For the hospital eventually following through and arranging an abdominal scan for me tomorrow re my gallbladder, and the appointment they’ve scheduled immediately after it to review my results.

My 2 cats, and all the joy they bring to my life.

Sobriety and Recovery, for all the lives they save and improve.

Everyone on TS, for sharing and helping each other to stay sober.

Thank you.

[PaigeTurner]

Ahhhh…
So GRATEFUL to be back, fully focused and reading everyone’s posts. Day 86 today and grateful to God for the multitude of fiery pits HE alone has pulled, dragged or assisted in my escape.
Grateful for a new opportunity to move into a new Recovery home.
Grateful for my willingness to downsize all I have AND share a sleeping space for the greater good of my own growth and those whom I will be serving and loving.
Grateful I know how to pause and listen for Higher Powers still small voice and nudges and my willingness to obey.
Grateful for my ability to stay calm and closed mouth as the Director of the rehab I completed two months ago and owner of the current Sober home I’m in yelled at me, became offended, was quick to anger and took it personal as I expressed my gratitude for how she’s helped me get clean and that I was flying from the nest to further my own personal journey. Grateful the old Alison didn’t rear her ugly head and use her ugly tongue to say things she’d have to make amends for later. Lol! Pat myself in the back for that one.
The old me had a mouth and attitude that would’ve gotten me murdered. That’s fact.
This renewed Alison is NOTHING like her. Thanks Jesus!

Renewed heart, renewed mind.

Thanks TS brothers and sisters!

[Its_me_Stella]

I am grateful for subtle reminders of how far I have come and I am grateful that I am now living in the present moment and notice them.
I am grateful for reassurance although I don’t feel I need it right now, it’s always nice to get that little extra “yes” that you’re looking in the right direction.
I am grateful that our PR team will be able to go back into Hospitals and Jails soon and that I will be a part of that.
I am grateful that NA has been able to stay strong helping addicts during this fucked up pandemic.
I am grateful that I was one of those addicts that came in during COVID and that I have managed to stay clean.
I am grateful for the delicious food I have been feeding my body lately and the energy I feel. I am grateful that I can see positive effects immediately because, well you know, we all sort of like instant gratification… I am grateful I am not dizzy all the time and on the verge of passing out.
I am grateful for well written books and words that hit home with me.
I am grateful for music and the connection it creates between people in countries across the world.
But most of all I am grateful for my life today I am grateful that I still have one, that I have managed to survive all of the abuse I have inflicted on myself. I am grateful that those feelings have changed in me, I don’t feel deserving of pain anymore. I am grateful that I know that I am a good person.

[Peace]

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.

I am grateful for ibuprofen as my back is being a b@#tch!

I am grateful for this community.

I am grateful for my family and my cats.

[Sunflower1]

Good evening all,
Caught whatever sickness my daughter had and I’m feeling crappy so it will be brief tonight. I’m grateful I have sick time at work and I’m not afraid to use it. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for you guys. Everyone have a wonderful evening

[I.cant.We.can]

I’m grateful to God thank you for today and please help me rest well tonight. I’m grateful for recovery, day 755 in a row sober and clean. I’m grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful my housemates are o.k. and the one who has been really struggling is visiting his Mom’s for a few days, or at least that’s the story. I’m grateful for lots of hours at work this week and that tomorrow is my day off. This week will be the first time I have put in overtime hours at a legitimate job since the early 2000’s wow Lol I’m grateful it was mild tonight and I walked home with my music and walked right past my house and did an hour walk just cause I was enjoying the music and exercise. @Sunflower1 hope you feel better after some rest. I’m grateful that my ex Kelley, who I have shared plenty about on here before, reached out to say she is on day two of a new attempt at sobriety, never give up friends.
God bless you all. &

p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!

[Nowenbrace]

Howdy All, Got my booster shot today, grateful for no reaction so far. Grateful for HP, fellowship, meditation and exercise. Grateful for willingness to bear discomfort and growth.
Hope you have a joyful 24!

[Hopeful777]

Woke up this morning feeling grateful for being sober.

For keeping my anxiety at bay, using alot of breath work techniques to help me.

For keeping up the gym, totally loving pilates and yoga classes, and actually making conversations with other people in class, when normally I shy away from talking, as could never think what to say, and would be stilted and anxious. I even had someone save me a space for me and my mat, was grateful and touched by that.

For not spending money I can ill afford for instantant gratification and quickly followed by regret. Paying off my debts slowly but chipping away.

Not looking back in regret, not looking too far ahead, just focus on what I can do good today, grateful for finally understanding this concept ODAAT.

So greatful for my safe place here, for you all, I would never be at this point without you.
@PlantLady19 so true, this gratitude thread sets you up for the day.

[PinkyP]

Morning,
Today I’m grateful for the last 24 hours which were wonderfully af for me.
I’m grateful for that some of the reading I’ve been doing has awakened me to notice my character faults and I’m grateful I can change this.
I’m grateful that I spoke to my partner last night about stopping drinking and he was very supportive and said let’s do it together. I’m happy that I told him that I may not do the weekend visit with friends in a few weeks but that I’m just concentrating on today atm.
I’m grateful that although my sleep has been pretty bad the last couple of nights, I know it will be better soon.
I’m always grateful to be here and to you
Have a great day x

Yes, me too!!

[Ceeds]

I’m so incredibly overwhelmingly grateful for this giant community. I have been unwell.
Coming here to read has been my savior in returning home. I come here, I read the hope and strength and progress and I know, I know my home is sober.
Thank you.

[Hopeful777]

It really makes a difference

[Dan531]

Stay with us, it’s okay to be unwell. The important thing is you recognize how you feel and what helps, even if it only helps a little. I wish you well, we’re here for you.

[TigerMatriarch]

I am grateful I am sober and in a pretty good head space for it being February. February is always the hardest month of the year for me with my SAD. The last 2 Februarys were scary ugly and I was drinking increasing amounts in an attempt to cope in all the wrong ways. This is year I am having ups and downs but I am better sober and I am grateful.

[TigerMatriarch]

Good for you! What a blessing your partner was supportive
