I’m grateful I was smiling while making my bed this morning. Every day I have the chicklets, they try to destroy it. Toddlers love a made up bed. I’m grateful I make my bed every day. The times when I haven’t, I’m mopey. It feels good to walk into my room and see things in order (most things ).
I’m grateful my oldest daughter found a psychiatrist she likes. Since Covid began, there’s a tremendous shortage of good mental health care. She’s suffered from OCD with overwhelming, irrational fear for years. I’m so grateful she’s finally getting help.
I’m grateful that life seems to be heading in a direction that feels normal for me. I’m still trying to figure that one out, because I’m not sure what normal is. I guess I’m grateful for coming into my own sense of normal.
I’m grateful for meditation. I’m even beginning to be able to practice it unguided. I’ve never been able to do that before except with walking meditation. It feels good to be able to take as little as 3-5 minutes and get myself back on track. Intrusive thoughts have been a bitch for me in sobriety. I think meditation is my love language. At least one of them… God knows I can express myself in a myriad of ways.
I’m grateful for my home, my family, music and books, poetry and laughter. I’m grateful for y’all.
I am grateful that I feel so much lighter today.
I am grateful that therapy starts at 9:30 instead of 9.
I am grateful that some positive things have happened because of this pandemic such as meetings of NA have been opened up world wide via ZOOM.
I am grateful that there are a boatload of meetings in BC for Brian to attend at his preferred time.
I am grateful that FOUR members took multiple years of recovery last night and one member was “coming back”. What a great meeting.
I am grateful that all the chairs were filled last night.
I am grateful our meeting rooms are back to full capacity.
I am grateful that Eric and I are not the only sober twin-not-twins on the forum.
I am grateful that I am laughing today, its been awhile, it feels good.
I am grateful that my sponsor called me when she got some distressing news from her Dr.
I am grateful that sponsees are just as important to sponsors as sponsors are to sponsees.
I am grateful that I feel secure enough in who I am to be open and honest with my Dr about my meds.
I’m grateful we got Alice to the vet yesterday as we are getting socked in today and I don’t think we are going anywhere. I’m grateful I don’t have to go anywhere today. I’m grateful Alice ate this morning. I’m grateful the new veterinarian we had was very nice and I’m grateful to get a different doctors view on Alice’s issue. I’m grateful my wife knows what’s going on with Alice and she can give her all the meds and I can be the big strong questioning silent type.
I’m grateful my wife is so happy to see the snow and hopefully Alice will let us enjoy our snow day.
I’m grateful to be reading Living Clean. I’m grateful to read I’m normal . I’m grateful I think I know my strong points in recovery and that is what I tend to share and I can only share my experiences and share from the heart. I’m grateful I reckon I can share some of my experiences that also worked through my recovered children. I’m grateful I spend a lot of time on TS seeking out new people. I’m grateful I read that is normal. And if that keeps me sober today, then I will keep doing that.
I’m grateful to God and the miracle of recovery that my children are not in active addiction anymore. And grateful I haven’t felt like the “other shoe is gonna drop,” anytime when we least expect it. I’m grateful my kids all have spouses they love and homes and their own life. Far away from me I’m grateful I wish we were closer but we are not distance wise, but we are very very close family wise, text, talk, and just grateful how close we/I feel we are to them. And that’s what’s really important.
I’m grateful, hopefully the only shoveling I’ll have to do today is for my dogs. I’m grateful they were able to go out in the snow and run back in this morning. I’m grateful they were kind of funny doing it and Benson was like fuck this when he saw the snow and ran back to the house before going. And told him to get his ass back out there and he did
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful for the new people that join in on this wonderful thread of gratitude. It works. It you work it and you’re worth it. I’m grateful for you old fucks like me on here too. You keep me sober! Thank you
Gratitude brings about a healthy outlook and helps someone realize life’s difficulties can be faced with dignity, and it is a fundamental element in recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction.

Dignity Never thought of it that way. I’m grateful for dignity
I’m grateful to have 100 days today.
I’m grateful for my best friend allows me to use his car everyday.
I’m grateful that I get to be of service today.
I’m grateful that when I’m upset I sit with my feelings now. When I use to get upset I would lash out. Immediately putting up more bricks in my wall I spent years constructing. I’ve learned that I usually play a key role in why I’m upset. Not always but at least part of it. I’m able to acknowledge my part in it, apologize, and maybe … most importantly… change my actions going forward. I’m grateful it makes me feel seen. I’m grateful it helps me grow.
I’m grateful for the hot weather. I’m grateful for my February tan. I’m grateful for walks. I’m grateful for chats with my best friend. I’m grateful that anything positive is possible. I’m grateful for miracles and magic. I am grateful that I am love. I’m grateful that when I give love I am also able to receive it.
I’m so grateful for my sober life that sometimes it makes me cry. I’m grateful that I hit a low point where the life that was caged inside me broke free and I knew something needed to change.
I’m grateful for 149 sober days of freedom
Love you all
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for the rain today, and that the drive home in it wasn’t bad. I’m grateful I voiced my opinion at work. I’m grateful I can acknowledge that I didn’t do it gracefully, and I will try harder on that. I’m grateful for pizza. I’m grateful for my pups.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I’m grateful to God thank you for lovingly guiding me through another productive day while helping me stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for recovery including mine. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the graitdudes. I’m grateful for the help from @Its_me_Stella with finding more meetings. I’m grateful to see peoples ODAATS piling up @Bran522 with 50 yessss @PaigeTurner triple digits club, nicely done and @Callie99 staying strong and getting stronger with 149 in a row woooo I’m grateful for washers and dryers and that I use them now, all by my grown up self, not getting my Mom, girlfriend, or paying the attendant guy at the laudramat to do it, or those years where I just didn’t have clean clothes. I’m grateful that I can accept my role at work and help my coworkers with bus fare and advice as I’m the middle aged guy who gets all the hours and makes all the tips, in my recovery journey I have received a ton of help, rides, bus fare, food, you name it, so paying it forward feels good and it is the next right thing. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayer and meditation.
God bless you all. &
Yesssss…
Wonderful you were courageous and kind enough to put yourself first.
Honoring your boundaries and with grace will teach others how to treat us. (Well… Hopefully)
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for tea, Yorkshire Tea, the best tea, a proper brew. The best way to start the day (in my opinion of course )
I’m grateful for reading glasses, they take away the fuzziness. There’s at least 2 pairs in every room.
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink, or want to, yesterday. And I’m grateful that I won’t be drinking today.
So happy to be here, thanks everyone
Today I’m grateful for energy. Grateful I slept well despite Miss Marple gave me acupuncturecuddles. Grateful I snuggle my cats as often as they want. Grateful for the joy, peace and laughter this 3 little furmonsters bring to my life. Grateful most of the chores are done before breakfast. I like it.
Grateful I came to an end with a long ongoing issue yesterday at work. Grateful I can pack this stuff in the archive. Grateful I did a final summary, it’s interesting how concise things can be summarized with a few distance to the affair. I’m grateful for my talent to write
