Iām grateful for you all right here. And grateful for the strength of the Gratidudes. Together we are stronger.
Thank you for your kind self, Miranda. Iāve definitely cried a small river. Itās amazing how many tears the human body can produceā¦ and keep on producing. But youāre right, they are cleansing and healing.
You are a good writer and I can see the beauty and passion deep within you. Your shares and responses to me have been perfectly timed and more personal than youāll ever know.
Thank you for being a willing vessel for The Great I AM to speak to me the way I need.
Iām grateful that I donāt have to go anywhere today, so I can sit by the window and enjoy the surpise dump of snow we got overnight rather than having to go out and having to shovel, scrape windows, and worry about driving on the road with people who do not know how to drive in the snow.
@anon74766472 I am wondering if I am thinking of the post you are referring to, considering people making fun of anotherās problem. I saw it briefly in the middle of the night when I had to get up to feed my cat, and thought to give it more attention in the morning, but it was gone when I rolled out of bed for the day. Whether it is or isnāt, Iām sorry youāve had that experience, but Iām glad you have threads where you feel more secure to post.
Iām really grateful for this forum and everyone on here. There are times that I feel like Iām going crazy because of the constant change of emotions and how strongly I feel them. But then I come on here and get overwhelmed with support from people who know exactly what Iām talking about. Thank you guys.
Iām grateful that Iām no longer numb. It sucks sometimes, but its better than not feeling anything.
Iām grateful that Iām safe, warm, and surrounded by simple comforts. My heart goes out to all those in the world who are suffering. I hope peaceful days are on their way.
And Iām grateful for a sober weekend where I get to watch the sunrise over the saguaros
Iām grateful for a long night of sleep, including sleeping through storms.
Iām grateful my sister lives nearby and we have a newish routine of a long Sunday walk together.
Iām grateful for a warm and safe home and to be far away from the war in Europe. I pray for peace.
Iām grateful to be sober. I worked through some cravings and dangerous thoughts about drinking yesterday and I successfully made it past them. Thank goodness! I was able to do that because of great learning Iāve had in this forum. Iām thankful for the sharing that so many have done here. I would not have made it through last night without all that wisdom that has been shared.
Iām grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to remain clean and sober. Iām grateful for recovery and all the challenges and blessings it brings. Iām grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that my house is getting thoroughly cleaned up, lots of furniture, clothes, dishes being removed, a seven bedroom recovery home where people move in and out often can pile up large amounts of clutter that we can now donate, not later, now, Lol ā¦ in the time I have been here thatās been the problem, weāll do it later attitude, no its an action now program, if only a little at a time, progress. Iām grateful to have Tuesday off and will not be taking anyoneās shift. Iām grateful to read that my new apartment will be ready to move into mid May and that I will stick to my plan to move in for the 1st of June. Iām grateful for daily readings, prayer and meditation. Iām grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they teach. Iām grateful to read supportive messageās towards each other and please know my thoughts and prayers have been with you even if typed out late @ShesGotMoxie HUGS @PaigeTurner@anon74766472 glad you are here. Iām grateful for clean clothes. Iām grateful for windows, to look, listen, touch and smell through, and that it is nice enough to have mine open. Iām grateful for warm showers and coffee. Iām grateful my parents are celebrating 30 years of marriage this week. Iām grateful for music and how it can affect my moods and that if I donāt like the affect I can change the song. Iām grateful I can walk to and from work today. Iām grateful I feel safe to post here, even my prayers.
God, please keep us all safe, let us be healthy and happy. Please use your healing light, shine it through us to keep our darkness at bay and to allow us to help ourselves and others to best do your will. In your name I pray and remain your humble, loyal and loving servant. Amen
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are freaking amazing, donāt forget to smile and breathe, it feels good.Youāre doing it nowā¦ good right? Ya you!!
I am grateful that the crippling anxiety and panic attacks that used to hold me back from life have disappeared.
I am grateful that I know how I got rid of them and am able to explain that to people who currently suffer in hopes they can help themselves too.
I am grateful to be invited out with friends, I am grateful to have friends!
I am grateful to be open-minded and have been willing to go to a bluegrass live show last night. It was amazing, so good I bought their vinyl canāt wait to listen to it while I clean my house!
I am grateful that I am learning that participation is a huge positive influence in recovery. That pushing myself out of my comfort zone, especially around food, (going to restaurants, going to potlucks) is why I am seeing growth there.
I am grateful for @PaigeTurner and her willingness to look at herself. Itās hard stuff, really hard but wow the benefits I am reaping are beyond words, my friend.
I am grateful that I can notice when old behaviors start to want to creep back in. Itās easier to act in those manners. I know they worked for me before, I know I got what I wanted when I wanted it. I keep reminding myself to not behave that way and to be patient. I remind myself to trust that my higher power will direct my life in a way that suits me best and that MY WAY WILL NOT END UP WORKING!!! I want my life to work, I am so fucking sick of struggling.
I am grateful that my struggles, although have been difficult and I have at times been fighting for my life, have not been as difficult as others.

Grateful for this forum. Grateful i downloaded it on a whim and ignored it until a random notification came up five days later and it felt like a message from myself.
Grateful for the air that feels good. My house im in, roommates i feel safe around, my family, the skills i can still learn, the people still in my life despite my serious bullshit.
Im grateful i have the discipline to keep practicing art. and hopeful i can have the discipline to keep practicing sobriety.
Grateful for poetry and books and film, and things i can enjoy sober. Good coffee and tea. Bread and cheese. Berries and oranges.
Grateful to be alive and safe in this terrifying world, and to have the resources to help others a little bit as they help me.
Iām grateful today that my head is better after the weather induced migraine. That the severe weather didnāt cause too much damage here and that I can grieve for people, including two little ones, who lost their lives to the massive tornado west of us. Iām grateful my heart can break but it still beats with love for humanity. Iām grateful for some rest today after listening to that freight train outside last night - it was scary and we spent some time in the basement when the tornado sirens went off. Iām grateful for my basement. Iām grateful it didnāt flood and hasnāt flooded this spring so far.
Iām grateful for getting through pain and fear with the love and support of my husband.
God Lord Iām glad your ok Rosa.
Kelly mentioned a winter tornado event but I couldnāt remember where. Holy shit! Iām grateful you have a cellar. That must have been pretty scary.
God Bless
Iām grateful for everyone checking in on me and your kind messages. I have been taking some time to take care of myself and my family. I promise I will get back to you. Your words make me feel loved and so much less alone. Iām able to take care of myself and others largely because of things I have learned from you all

Iām grateful for my body. That it allows me to run, walk, swim, and move freely.

Iām grateful I ordered my groceries for the week so I could talk to my friend tonight instead. Iām grateful that I was able to be there for her to cry and talk with.
Iām grateful I skipped squats tonight, simply because that is what my body was telling me I needed. Iām grateful Iām more in tune with her these days.
Iām grateful for the giving nature of humanity. It fills my heart that people will do what they can to help others. It makes me cry with hope and love for our species.
I believe in miracles. I believe I am one. I believe we all are.
Iām grateful for meditation, the beauty of nature,
silence, wind, movement, books, music, poetry, kind humans- all of which kept me strong this past week and going into a new one tomorrow.
