I’m grateful for another night of great sleep and for delicious coffee in the morning.
I’m grateful for stories of gratitude, love, and compassion. I’m grateful for empathetic people and small kindnesses. These are the qualities I’m trying to focus on. The world feels dark right now but there are still beautiful days and good people.
I’m grateful that despite the fear and terror in the world, we can still come on here and be grateful for things. We can still be grateful for this world, flawed as it is.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a nice weekend with the family. I’m grateful for the sunrise this morning. I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful for change, even if it’s scary. I’m grateful for exercise and that my body lets me. Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m grateful for that post by @anon52066378 on checking in #39 (If you haven’t read it yet, it’s so powerful to start your week with, truly amazing).
I’m thankful for my beautiful wife and my boys. From where i came from to what i’ve tried to do to my life, to what i have now… IS A FREAKING MIRACLE. No other way to look at it.
I’m thankful to my god Jehovah, for always pointing me in the right direction.
I’m thankful that i have a job and coworkers i like.
I’m thankful for finally using my magnesium supplement and getting sleep 3 straight nights while remembering all my dreams, which is insane.
I’m thankful for my dad, who’s still alive and fighting to be in my kids lives.
I’m thankful for my mom, in her old age she’s still going strong.
I’m thankful again for my wife, cause taking care of 2 boys all day has to be rough, and she does it with grace, love, and patience.
Thankful for TS community, which has aided me in changing my life.
I’m grateful for making another healthy decision for myself this morning:
I found a bottle of wine that was peeking out from under my bed right now when I was unplugging my space heater and I was extremely upset and shouted “NO!” I called my husband and dumped it down the drain, with him on the phone, and felt liberated. I’m gaining more self-respect and self-love. I’m ecstatic that I was upset instead of excited like I used to be (when I’d find alcohol I’d hidden before). I finally feel that I’m ready to be on the road of lifelong recovery. Been waiting for this for a loooooooong time.
I’m grateful I woke up feeling very sad and burdened with a heavy heart and just going through the motions this morning doing my same ol same, same ol, same ol, shit I “Get To Do,” every morning. I grateful I been thinking and praying about the suffering right here at TS and the suffering in Ukraine.
Im grateful I got to read my first devotional reading.
Im grateful I got to read my chapter or section in Codependent No More.
Im grateful I’m still reading about detachment. There’s a lot to read. I’m grateful I can use detachment preferably with love about situations and it doesn’t have to be detachment from a particular person. In this crazy awful mixed up hateful evil world I cannot learn too much about detachment. Preferably with love. If not with love then detachment with anger is ok for now. It’s a start.
I’m grateful after my readings this morning I felt better.
I’m grateful I already had Benson on my lap.
I’m grateful Alice is on my lap. I’m grateful she can still jump up on me in my chair with the ease and grace of a cat. The way it should be.
I’m grateful I enjoyed watching Winning Time, a series about the Los Angeles Lakers at the beginning of the 80’s my favorite time in basketball. I hated the Lakers.
I’m grateful my wife will be happy with the unexpected light dusting of snow we got last night
I’m grateful for the serenity prayer.
I’m grateful for my house and home and pets and wife and kids, long distance and friends, long distance.
I’m grateful I called my best childhood friend yesterday. He’s already a grandpa of 16 months.
I’m grateful I left Julie a voice message yesterday too.
I’m grateful for y’all. Detach. Detach in love or detach in anger but strive for detachment. I know it’s difficult, but it will become easier with practice. If you can’t let go completely, try to “hang on loose.” Relax. Sit back. Now, take a deep breath. The focus is on you.
And to steal a page from my buddy. Ya You!

I am grateful that I was honest last night in my share and called myself out on my own shit. ( it’s hard to bullshit a bullshitter, Stella)
I am grateful that although I acted out on some ED rituals and the thoughts are starting to seep in I am accepting them and working through the anxiety.
I am grateful for therapy and the skills I have learned.
I am grateful to be thought of as a person who can be trusted with deep personal information.
I am grateful that I am learning how much information is suitable to share with different people. I used to class everyone together under “NEVER TRUST”.
I am grateful that I am learning to really let go. My whole life people have thought they knew me. I have been very good at showing enough of myself that everyone was satisfied that they were close enough. Nobody knew me at all. I find myself sitting back still, in this comfortable place watching others get very vulnerable and I admire them. I wonder how they can be so brave to stand in a room of potential threat with no armour on.
I am grateful to be learning from these people and to be a witness to their courage. I am not there yet, but I am sure my day will come.
I am grateful that I am teachable and that my thirst for knowledge seems insatiable. All that I want out of this life, is to live my days raising my spiritual awareness.
I am grateful to be able to do that in so many different ways.
Thank you for the part you all play in my recovery.
I’m day 21. Your story sounds very similar to mine. I am committed to this sober life. I’ve done it before in the past for years at a time. I remember those were some of the happiest times of my life. I want that back! Congratulations to you and good luck. Enjoy your vacation!
I’m grateful to be here and to be safe. I have food in my fridge, water, a nice cozy home and I have you on here who gave me a warm welcome back I know I don’t have to be ashamed. This here is my safe space.
Thank you for this
I am grateful I experienced the world before the internet, before cellphones, before tablets, and all manner of shiny digital wonders.
Even in the silence, I feel like the world is louder than it used to be. It’s something I can’t describe. But when I think the years before all the digital toys, the air feels like it was silenter. I’m not sure why, but I’ve increasingly felt a profound sadness and sense of loss in connection with this change. It’s not at the forefront of my life, but more of something that exists in the background.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that after many anger and resentment I felt I still went to the first session of an addiction related course. I’ll see.

Today I’m grateful for another semi-productive monday and that I allow myself to be lazy on monday if I want to. Grateful for spontaneous grocery shopping after an appointment, it felt good to be spontaneous. Grateful for interesting documentaries on TV, watching them with husband & cats on the couch, this is my little piece of peace in the world.
I had a boss tell me once I had to find a way to detach myself from others. I thought he was crazy, I thought to myself but that’s my gift. You chatting about it and this journey has me rethinking how I think of the word detachment.
I’m grateful that you have brought it to the front of my mind

I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I haven’t gambled in 14 days but it is surprising me just how much it’s bothering me. I’m grateful I cleaned my room, did laundry and ordered pizza tonight instead of totally bingeing on tv, movies, or games. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for humor and laughter.
God bless you all. &

Morning,
Today I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday, I didn’t want to, it wasn’t an option.
I’m grateful I had energy and enthusiasm to take out the dog yesterday evening after work. I listened to Annie Grace’s podcast, it was about how drinking water has a huge impact on your motivation, productivity and of course your health. I do drink water during the day but am going to up my intake and see how I feel. I’m grateful for that time yesterday, I think I just needed 40 mins unwind time on my own, I came home in a good mood.
I’m grateful for lovely lovely sleep. I used to struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep. Now I listen to a sleep meditation on insight Timer and I’m away.
I feel good this morning and I’m grateful
To Do,” every morning. I grateful I been thinking and praying about the suffering right here at TS and the suffering in Ukraine.
I know I don’t have to be ashamed. This here is my safe space.
