I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful work was kinda productive today.
Grateful sun was shining today.
I am grateful for information as it is calming me.
I am grateful I barely use the heating. It’s warm enough here in my apartment.
I am grateful that many institutions react on what’s happening and cut money cash flow. Everyone has to suffer, sure. I am praying.
I’m grateful for your avatar. Do you mind if I join you?
I am grateful to be going into the night sober; I’m worried I won’t sleep, but that’s nothing compared to the other…
I have a pint of clean water, I am grateful I can take this from a functioning tap whenever I want.
I’m grateful for being able to be honest about my illness
I’m grateful for kind people in this world
For now, that’s plenty.
Today I am grateful for friends. Lately I’ve been a bit rubbish at keeping in touch with my friends, I’ve got out of the habit of meeting up and making the effort. But today I phoned my friend, it was so nice to speak to her and things were good between us. And another friend has been in touch to meet up and I will get together soon. It’s so easy to fall into the ‘I can’t be bothered’ mindset for me but I totally realise how important friends are. I need to put the work in!!
Thanks for being here xx
I’m grateful that I have true compassion for others. Had I not known trauma, I’m sure I would still have that compassion, but it may not have come as easily for me. I’m grateful I’m able to put a definition to pain and do my damnedest to support others and myself.
I’m grateful I’m here. I’m grateful I’ve quit putting all my eggs in one basket. I did that again and again in my past and all it got me was grief. I’m grateful that I give of myself to as many as I’m able, and I’m also grateful I know when enough is enough. I’m grateful I take care of me first now.
I’m grateful for music and meditation. I’m grateful for those little nudges from the universe that keep me on the right path.
I’m grateful for this community. 
I’m grateful for grace that I have learned over time.
I’m grateful that I was given the gift of voice and language. I’m grateful I have one. I’m grateful that I’m learning that it’s okay to use it. When I was little I was left completely alone in every single moment of my emotional distress. While it taught me to be self sufficient and independent. It gave me a near crippling anxiety for reaching out when I’m in distress. I created beautiful worlds where I was given emotional support and reassurance that I was not given in real life. I’m grateful I have a real one now. I’m grateful in my sobriety that I’ve started to overcome that crippling fear. That I’m finding my people. That I’m reaching out for help. That I’m finding I’m worthy of being taken care of too. Of emotional support. Of caring. I’m grateful I use my voice to protect others. I’m grateful I use it to name my feelings, to get to the bottom of them. I’m grateful I always put myself in someone else’s shoes. I’m grateful it helps me come from a place of love and understanding. I’m grateful for my people here. You are like rocks to me. Like family. I have been able to share pieces of me that I never believed I could. I’m grateful I can honestly say that I know what it means to heal caverns in my soul that started forming when I was just a little girl. I’m grateful that I have you all to thank for giving me the permission to reach out and that you never made me feel weak for doing so.
I’m grateful that Ian is feeling better. I’m grateful for a slight break in the heat. I’m grateful Ian and I both love cooking and taking care of one another. I’m grateful he’s taught me I can receive, I don’t always have to give.
I’m grateful for long walks. I’m grateful for peace rallies. I’m grateful that we get to choose every day to make the world a kinder, more beautiful place. 
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a warm, safe home full of love. I’m grateful for enough food for my family. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

@I.cant.We.can congrats on your week free from gambling 
I’m grateful for you too
I’m grateful for another day sober so I can be the best me for my family and friends 
Today I’m grateful for 6 hours sleep.
I’m grateful for living in a vibrant city of art and self expression
I’m grateful I have a job and that I can work from home
I’m grateful for coffee… The act of grinding the beans, selecting the beans and drip brewing is so enjoyable to me.
I am grateful to you all.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can distract myself from what’s happening.
I’m grateful the calm has found me again. Yesterday wasn’t too peachy. I’m grateful for my mind’s ability to process. It’s a wonderful feeling to think about things rather than just reacting. There is grace in that. My grandma would be proud of me.
I’m grateful for Ethan. I’m grateful he stays in touch and shares the music tracks he’s working on. That guy’s got talent! I’m grateful he’s doing well.
I’m grateful I’m watching the chicklets today. Hearing their squeals of laughter and seeing their excited little faces when I show up makes my whole day. I love them so much. 
I’m grateful for the doctors and nurses involved with my father-in-law’s cancer diagnosis. I’m grateful a new team member is coming on board. It never hurts to have someone else’s professional input. I’m grateful he’s feeling better and has his appetite back.
I’m grateful for so much more, but I’m off to get the girls. Y’all have a beautiful day. 
I’m grateful for good advice and fellowship.
I mentioned on here that I was struggling with depression and the urge to drink. I had been feeling down for a few weeks and I was pretty angry about it. Why should I feel depressed if I was doing everything right? Making all the recommended changes? It wasn’t fair.
But as I was talking to someone at AA about this, they shared their experience with me because it was similar. Hearing from someone who knew exactly what I was talking about was incredibly helpful and brought me alot of peace.
I’m grateful that I can accept the lows with the highs.
I’m grateful that I’m no longer angry at myself for being unhappy.
I’m grateful for sober communities where we can help each other get through these times.
And lastly, I’m grateful that now I can start focusing on others. I’ve been stuck in a cycle of self-pity, anger, and overall unhappiness. But there is alot to be grateful for 
I want to be better but I accept that it’s a process.
I hope you are all having a good week so far
I’m grateful for this sober community. I’m grateful I enjoy my time on here whether it be for fun, or to get and give support. I’m grateful for the new people that join in, and hope (there it is! Hope!) they can find it a safe place and stick around reap the benefits of sobriety on here like I have. And make some really nice friends along the way.
I’m grateful for my practice of gratitude each morning. I’m grateful my wife gets to sleep in. I’m grateful for all the thousands of chores she does every day. No matter what. My wife gets her daily chores done. I’m grateful and pretty impressed that some mornings, at 3 am I’ve heard her cleaning littler boxes before she comes to bed. She never misses her chores. I’m grateful I realized yesterday how many chores she does around here. I mean I know she does tons of chores. But I really really was just very grateful and thought wow 
I grateful for what I do around here and we make a great team. And No. I don’t do everything. I’d be super grateful when that stinking feeling comes around ever again. And it will. I can remember, No. I don’t do everything.
I’m grateful I forgot my glasses when I got settled in with my coffee and blanket and ice pack and Alice got on me again. And started tamping and purring and settling in on me. I’m grateful I just sat here. And made a new plan. I’m grateful I couldn’t get up and just get my glasses. “Cat on the lap rule.” Especially if it’s Alice. You can’t kick a 16 year old cat off your lap. It’s written somewhere.
Anyway…… so I got to sit here with God and have a nice chat and pray about things. I prayed for HOPE. I’m grateful it’s not necessarily that I don’t have Hope. I just don’t think about it Hope. Especially in the big picture of life. The big picture sucks! I’m grateful I struggle with burying my head in the sand and trying not to let events all around me affect me. But I can’t just burry my head in the sand and not know that there’s some pretty shitty scary stuff out there. I’m grateful I’m so blessed but it’s not fair. Why am I so blessed? Why does a 6 year old school girl get killed in a bombing of a school house. What the fuck is wrong with people? So I’m grateful I try and go back to the Bible. The biggest book of all. It’s my safety book.
I pray and ask Jesus my God and Holy Spirit to stop the evil in this world…………..
If you can. Because yes I have doubts.
And that’s when I go to:
Mark 9: 23-24
"‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
I’m grateful I can pray to God to help me overcome my unbelief. And know in my heart that I’m trying. I really am. 
I cherry picked and posted Habakkuk’s prayer a few days back. But I didn’t post the Lords answer, because I didn’t like it 
I still don’t like it.
Habakkuk 1: 5-6
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwellings not their own.
So I’ll cherry pick my way over to:
Wait for the Lord
Be strong and take heart
And wait for the Lord
Ps 27:14
Because what else can I do?
I’ll just wait for the Lord.
I am grateful for this “…we don’t have to feel ok to be ok.” and " …who needs to fit in when we belong?"
I am grateful for the texts I got this morning, one from a sponsee setting herself up for a great day with self-acceptance from the get-go and another from a member claiming she’s managed her first 24 hours clean!!! These are the gifts I am given today because of the people in my life. I am so grateful for them
I am grateful that today is the day for some imaging that I have been waiting what feels a lifetime for.
I am grateful that I trust my Dr and when I tried to hand in my meds yesterday and she said " No, finish the 2 weeks." I didn’t react poorly or feel afraid. I am grateful I have 100% trust in my higher power and that I am not acting in self will today.
I am grateful for friends who share things that resonate with them, who think of me when they love something and want me to experience that thing too.
I am grateful to be a part of the solution today.
