A decent night sleep
For feeling rested after the weekend
For not acting on negative feeling, taking time to evaulate before reaction

As always for maintaining sobriety

I am grateful for a sober Superbowl Sunday. I can’t remember the last sober Superbowl. Probably when I was a kid.
I am grateful to hear my RL friends Rob and Shad maintained their sobriety over Superbowl.
I’m grateful for being able to stay active and put in 2.35 miles at the indoor track this morning.
I am grateful for the days getting longer. I noticed on the way to workout this morning that the sun was starting to rise instead of it being full dark out. Though I will miss seeing the moon in the morning.

Good morning.
I’m grateful to be up in my own home. Coffee in my living room with Benson and my fireplace keeping me warm. And to be able to watch the light rise and fill the ponderosa pines on the west side of my house.
I take this for granted every morning. But I’m also so very grateful for this.

You know, sometimes I come on here and I don’t know or don’t feel like “doing this.” Doing this whole gratitude business. But it’s true. If you don’t feel like you have anything to be grateful for, you can always start by saying I’m grateful I’m not on fire. I say this because my sons mother-in-law’s house burned down yesterday in Dallas. To the ground. The house my daughter-in-law grew up in. I debated sharing this here. I’m not looking for tags or replies or I’m so sorry to read this. It didn’t happen to me. Glenda will be ok. Her 4 daughters came in to town yesterday. She has a boyfriend who smelled smoke at 4 am and she can stay at his house now, and they saved the dog. If I know Glenda, just send her some prayers :pray:t2: She would appreciate that. So I’m really grateful for everything today. Especially grateful I can share that on here. Let it out. And continue to process it.

I’m grateful one of the last things I read on here was about having an open mind. I’m grateful my first Reading from my Al-Anon book this morning was about having an open mind. Gee? :thinking: Is my God trying to tell me something?

I’m grateful I physically feel great this morning. I’m grateful I haven’t really had any pain the last few days except that small headache yesterday that coffee and Advil took care of. I’m grateful the last few days have warmed up to the upper 50’s and we’ve been able to have some deck time outside.

I’m grateful for the fun I had yesterday watching the super bowl with my wife and some of you on the sober all sports thread. It’s a great way to watch the super bowl. And so cheap. And easy clean up after. I’m grateful my wife and I were rooting for the Rams. It’s so much nicer when we are on the same side. She’s such a rabid fan. I hate when we are on opposite sides. I’m grateful I didn’t pass out during the game as was usual. And I remember it all. Especially the awesome halftime show.
:pray:t2::heart:
Today, let’s just be grateful for everything we have :pray:t2::heart:

I am grateful for our Healthcare system and although it has taken sometime to see a specialist I am grateful the day is here.

I’m grateful for:

Not sleeping outside tonight. The ground would be so much colder than my mattress.

Not being on day one. There have been hundreds of them but today is not one of them.

My thermal camping clothes that I’ve just put on because I am absolutely freezing today.

Gloves, I may even have to put them on when I’m done with my phone and ready to sleep.

Changing seasons, that Spring is soon to come, and with it warmer days and nights.

Quick and easy microwave meals.

Supermarket home delivery services. There were only 2 items missing today. I’ve got what I need for the week.

Not acting on my urge to binge after the nightmare I had during my nap this afternoon.

None of my family knowing about my cocaine addiction.

My notes app, it’s so useful.

My lovely cats, Prince and Wolfie, I love them both so much.

This forum and everyone here, for the safe space to share and the connection I feel.

Thank you.

:blue_heart:

@Its_me_Stella I hope the procedure goes well. :pray:t2: I’m grateful for your mom.

Good morning all. I’m grateful to woke up hangover free again today. I’m grateful i’m heading towards 7 months sober. I’m grateful i decided to follow up on my intuition and cancel my participation on a project i was gonna get involved in. Sobriety is helping me with this, being better in tune with myself, realising better what’s good for me and what not. I’m grateful for friends, few but good ones. I’m grateful for the place i live and work. I’m grateful for my decision to finally find a therapist and go work on myself.

Much love to everyone!

I’m grateful for my husband and the way he takes care of me. There’s very little he does that I can’t do myself, but he’s always here and wanting to do things for and with me. I appreciate him.

I’m grateful I still love to dance in the kitchen and slide around on the wood floor in my socks. It’s fun, and I’m sure, funny for others. :crazy_face:

I’m so grateful that I’m retaining knowledge from the books I read. It’s one of the perks of not drinking all the time.

I’m grateful for the music shares on the Froot Loops thread. @Mno and @Alisa have added a lot of new songs to my personal playlists. Thanks y’all. :blush:

I’m grateful that I’m learning about the way my brain works regarding addiction and habits and the why’s of certain behaviors. I’m sure the earlier title of my thread caused some people to mute it (I didn’t know that was a thing until pretty recently :upside_down_face:), but the work I put into Our Brains and Recovery has taught me a lot about myself. I’m grateful for the ability to learn.

I’m grateful that Caroline’s best friend cooked dinner for her. My best friend did the same for me. :kissing_heart:

I’m grateful for the shares on the Autism Support thread. Those of you with older children are giving me so much hope for my little 5 year old chicklet as she grows older. I appreciate y’all. :purple_heart:

I’m grateful to be here and to be in a calm state of mind.
