I am not the biggest nor fastest reader. Atm this is in my basket and i am happy that I can concentrate on what I am reading and that it is not something I do to calm the noise in my head.

For waking myself up laughing in my dreams atleast 5 times early this morning, I wish I could remember what I was laughing at, but it was definitely nicer than waking up shouting in nightmares.
For feeling a little bit more mentally well than yesterday.
For the motivation to shower and clean my teeth today before the CA meeting.
For remembering to turn my boiler on ahead of the shower.
For hot water.
For the CA meeting this evening, it was just the chair and I, but I was and remain very grateful for it. I had to read aloud, lots, but with just one other person there it was not so bad and I didn’t have to feel anxious about my volume. I actually didn’t feel very anxious at all, even when I stumbled over words and didn’t get the timing quite right.
For similarities, there are so many, it helps.
For (so far, at 8:18pm) resisting the urge to order my favourite take away tonight.
For feeling a glimmer of peace with myself in this moment.
For gratitude.
For my two cats, for all the feelings I feel for them. For their health.
For the TS forum, and everyone here, for how it always turns my day around each time I come here, before I go to sleep.
Thank you.
@Pica congrats on 60 days 
@MsMotorista congrats on 5 months

I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through today clean and sober. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for lots of laughs at work today, I was all fired up, motivated, trying my best to make it fun for me and others, today it worked, lots of genuine belly laughs and got some of my coworkers out of their heads and into the moment. I’m grateful that I can be that way and still do the job, a good job, the boss tells me so, which is nice to hear. I’m grateful that I don’t have covid, three of my coworkers have it right now, stress building at work because of it, short staffed now. I’m grateful my Sister texted me today to say her isolation is over, she still doesn’t feel 100% but she is glad she can go back to work next week and get out of the house. I’m grateful I can pray for my health and everyones, phsically, mentally and spiritually.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!

Good morning all,
I’m grateful I woke up early on my own. I’m grateful I had some quiet time to catch up on here and drink my coffee. I’m grateful for my home, and the loving people and animals in it. I’m grateful to have a day of possibilities available to me because I’m not hungover, or planning how soon I can start drinking. I’m grateful that those thoughts don’t come very often anymore. I’m grateful that I feel like I’m part of my life now, instead of watching it happen through a fog. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness, and sunshine.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful I woke up sober and hangover free again. Amazing! I’m grateful we had a nice night out for dinner last night. I’m grateful I get to feed all the pets in the morning. And have their bashing heads hitting me. Or the little love bite I get when trying to get water from the RO. And when I let the 2 crazy happy tail wagging dogs in from the cold they always make me smile. I’m even grateful for the fun guessing game, finding where the 2 girls are at that eat separately in the master bedroom. All this “I get” to do happily, hangover free, before coffee each morning. Then I’m really grateful for that first pull on my fresh ground coffee. The one where the coffee is the perfect temperature, not too hot, not too cold and you get that fulfilling morning glug. And grateful then I think. “Everything is going to be ok today.” I’m grateful everything is going to be ok today because I’m not drinking!! I’m grateful I get to go through life calm, and clear headed, and not overreacting. It’s a new fantastic kind of drug. And it’s so worth it.
I’m grateful I got to read a little more about surrendering this morning. How I still have to surrender even more. And I chuckled when I read the part about how there’s probably still areas that I cling to the illusion of control. THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL Now I’m just plain laughing at this. Because when I think I’m in control, it really is just an illusion. I can’t control shit!! I’m grateful I have learned to love to surrender. I know some days I hate always having to work on myself. But I love to surrender. Sometimes I think surrendering is a cop out. “I should do something about…… 
” I’m grateful that what I should do is stop and pause and pray for guidance.
I’m grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful I’m my work is done here. 
I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness. OUCH
