I’m grateful to be up wicked early. Got some menial chores done. Got every one fed. Got my coffee done already and working on my turmeric green ginger tea.
Grateful I can get my gratitude list in early like I usually do. Grateful I was prepared to do it later. Grateful I can do gratitude anytime.
Grateful I can get Minnie in at the vet today at 8 am. Just a check up.
I’m grateful I enjoyed my conversation with a real estate agent in Cali yesterday. She sounded very confident on the phone and I know her boss and my friend would not have recommended her if she wasn’t very good. I’m grateful we had a great time schmoozing on the phone.
I’m grateful for the phone call with my agent in Scottsdale. Although she said she’d call me “right back” after we talked a bit. She blew me me off. 
. And I’m ok with that. We talked enough. By then it was just jibber jabber. Maybe she got another call. Who knows. If I really needed to talk to her more. I could have just called her back.
I’m grateful shits getting real around here. But I’m just going to take it ODAAT. Why worry about the parking for the movers in Santa Monica today, when the condo isn’t even listed yet. Parking sucks!! and I’ll need to get permits for a moving truck to park and pack and load. 
I’m grateful there is absolutely no reason to worry about that today. Or tomorrow even.
I’m grateful, in the scheme of things, with all the horrific things going on in this world today. I got shit to complain about. #fuckputin. I’m grateful I can pray and donate for Ukraine 
. I’m grateful to read stories of courage and strength so unimaginable in a totally unacceptable situation. I’ve never had to be that strong in my life. God Bless.
I’m grateful for you all.

Today I’m grateful to see my TS counter passed 150 (almost 155) days. Even though I’m not focused on counting days it was still cool to see my “codependent” reset was 150+ days ago. I’m grateful I started my own thread a while back and that I’m feeling the urge to write about this, the best place for me to write about this is there. What it means to not be tasting my husband’s home brews out of some sense of obligation or worried about hurting his feelings, to be making a choice for myself and not be swayed by his behavior. To see him FINALLY learning how to respect my boundary because I’m enforcing it and it’s all with love, not any resentment. It’s been a wonderful shift that I’m very grateful for.
I’m grateful for the talks with my guy about the future and that he said he’s really happy to see me excited about the future again. We talked about the stark contrast between what others are experiencing across the world right now. We agreed we are staying informed without becoming obsessed (a struggle for us both) and that gratitude and a future forward perspective is helping us. I’m grateful he said he has seen such a change in me the last few years, that there was a time when I could not talk about the future because I was so stuck, and that I could tell him I’m grateful he helped me get to this place. He says I did it myself and of course that’s not true. He did say that he admires that I’ve built friendships and kept old friendships or reconnected and that he wants to learn from my example - I’m grateful he can learn from me, too.
I’m grateful for my amigos here on TS

G’morning y’all 
I’m grateful my son-in-law received the news yesterday that he got the GM position he’s been interviewing for over the past 2+ months. I’m so proud of him.
I’m grateful that we’re spending the weekend with Keely and her boyfriend. I’m sure y’all know by now how much I enjoy going there. And I get to hang out with Chesney and Cash, too! 
I’m grateful that my 2-yr-old chicklet is feeling better today. She’s had a stomach bug for the past few days, and I’m thankful that she’s getting back to her happy little self. 
I’m grateful for peace in my home. My husband and I have had long rough patches over the past several years, but I’m grateful that talk of divorce isn’t on the table anymore. I’m grateful that my sobriety is not only teaching me, it’s opening his eyes and heart as well.
I’m grateful for hope. I’m grateful I still dream of who I want to be when I grow up. It’s fun to dream. It keeps my spirit alive.
I’m grateful that I’m finding worth in myself. I’m learning how important it is for me to grow and thrive in an emotionally safe climate. I am worthy of emotional validation.
I’m grateful for all of you. Have a beautiful day.

I’m grateful for Chicklets on the gratitude thread.
I’m grateful it’s impossible for me not to have a big smile when I see said Chicklet.

I’m thankful for 
It makes me smile and touches me deeply, I feel the same sometimes 
It reminds me of my mentor long ago who always said “You are never to old to start something new!” He himself was a good example.
Today I’m grateful for errands done, coffee arrived (oh I will have coffee tomorrow 
), lovely cats, my husband and the forestry operations he does. Grateful he is well, the work is dangerous and I’m always a bit worried. Grateful my mum is ok, grateful I laughed today and I’m very grateful for my cozy bed. I love to sleep or just hang around in bed with books and cats. I’m grateful I have loved it for all my life.

I’m grateful I know the world is a beautiful place.
I’m grateful I am finding productive ways to help overseas.
I’m grateful I can be there for loved ones as support but not have to absorb all of their emotion.
I’m grateful for life stories, videos, pictures- all we share on here. That it shows how important connection is. That there is healing in connection.
I’m grateful I talked to my dad for the first time in a year. I’m grateful that when I called I was in a place of love and forgiveness. I’m grateful I didn’t put my armor on before the call, like I usually do.
I’m grateful for two meditations I did yesterday that brought me to tears.
I’m grateful that I’m making real life changes and I’m moving into a place of active recovery. I was passive in many ways, not that that is wrong. I think that is a part of recovery, until you feel ready to take the next leap.
I’m grateful that I’m noticing coping mechanisms that I developed as a child to survive that stuck with me in adulthood. I’m grateful that I don’t have to process emotion, distress, trauma, sadness, and hopelessness on my own anymore. I’ll have to remind myself of this one a lot, but I see it and I’m going to do the work and lean on others.
I’m grateful for nature.
I’m grateful there’s a lot of really amazing humans here.
I’m grateful how much you all have taught me.
I’m grateful that we don’t need to wait one minute to show kindness to others,
And bad ass women who stand with humans and peace

I am grateful the clouds parted just enough this evening that I was able to see Sirius. The nights can be hard, but the stars are like old friends that I look forward to seeing at the end of each day.
In the silence and calm of sobriety, there is time and attention for those little wonders that get lost in the haze and overstimulation of addiction.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful television isn’t the only option these days. I am grateful I allow myself that watching the news, being informed isn’t good for my mental health. Even or because it is so close.
I am so very grateful for a very long talk I had with a friend in Bolivia yesterday. It’s always very grounding. We were close in school and then during here PhD of ethnology she fell in love there. I am grateful for internet which made this happen.
I am grateful we have the opportunity to get information of all kind, good quality information, more or less free information. I am grateful I live up in democracy.
I am grateful for my warm bed and Paula laying on my lap purring.
I am grateful I get things done. I am grateful for a nice chat in the garage yesterday when I brought my first bike for annual maintenance.
I am grateful days are getting longer. I am grateful I don’t waste my time being drunk. I still waste a lot of time but I don’t feel ashamed and awful after.

I’m grateful for making it almost to day five and for having less of a craving today. I’m grateful for spring on its way, my adorable dog, my amazing daughter who inspires me everyday and for my husband who is trying really hard tonight to be supportive. I’m grateful for music and dancing and laughter. I’m grateful for spending time with an old friend today, for having some alone time, for wandering slowly through a really unique market with lots of interesting food, drinks and plants and not feeling in a rush to get anywhere. I’m grateful for all of the inspiration I’ve gotten from these posts. I’m grateful for “Rise Botanical” no sugar no alcohol drinks that I discovered today. I’m even grateful for kimchi that I bought today and put on my salad. It was actually pretty good

I am grateful for learning to let go, and being patient with myself in the process. My journey with this did not start when I cleaned up 2 years ago… it started about 5 years before that. This has been a long twisted path for me. With lots of driving down the same dark and bumpy roads, popping my tires again and again. Finally its startng to stick. Finally.

Last minute, skidding across the finish line, “daily” gratitude list. LOL
Walking up early, fully rested and ready to start my day.
My wife waking up early, fully rested and ready for intimacy.
Taking a gamble and mixing sweet & spicy tea with coffee and then immediately feeling like a genius. So f’ing good.
Having the time to unpack, decorate, clean the new place with care and attention and not rush anything.
Getting to go to the grocery store and get everything on our list, plus a few surprises.
Light rain on a dusty truck (aka free car wash)
The joy of being in my truck again. Just all things truck, really.
Simple solutions to household challenges.
My dressing room is coming together nicely and it’s giving me a sense of home again.
My lovely neighborhood and our proximity to virtually everything we need.
The leaps and bounds Clint is taking and our growing friendship.
Being able to provide a beautiful takeout dinner and not having to go pick it up.
The peace and heart-swelling joy of sharing a scrumptious meal with two people I love.
Receiving my new driver’s license in the mail.
Sharing a couch and a laugh with the ones I love.
The peace and quiet I have right now, to just lay back with my feel up and make this gratitude list on TS.
I didn’t have to use our drink to feel any of this. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
I only have these things because I didn’t.
I love you guys. TTFN

I’m grateful it’s a snow day. More like a snow weekend. I’m grateful it’s not much snow but just enough to be pretty and still a pain in the ass 
I’m grateful, like Rosa, I just don’t want to slip and fall walking the dogs. I don’t bounce right up like I use to. But I’m grateful for the childhood memories of waking up knowing it’s going to be gray skies all day and fresh dry pretty powder. I’m grateful it makes me think of comforting grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbells tomato soup, someone must of made for me when I was a child. Must of been grandma 
So I’m grateful I stayed up too late chatting with friends and grateful I got to sleep in and know I got shit to do today. Except make the donuts 
I’m grateful for all my blessings. Especially the simple ones of just being able to wake up and go to bed in my own home without being bombed. I’m grateful my heart is breaking for Ukraine . I’m grateful I was able to make some donations to at least try and help. I’m grateful, even though it sucks, I really cannot do anything else about it. I’m grateful I’m not alone in these feelings.
I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful when one of us is hurting @Pica and brave enough to put it out there we come together like a family to try and help. I hope you have a better day today Pica.
I’m just grateful
Hope is seeing light in spite of being surrounded by darkness.
