For waking up alive, safe, and sober.
For hot, clean water for showers.
For an in-person meeting last night, despite my fked up head telling me bs the whole time and making it hell.
For meeting my best friend after this for a bit of clothes shopping as our favourite shop has a 75% sale.
For 6 hours solid sleep, I needed it.
For pain, reminding me I’m alive to feel it.
For another in-person meeting tonight, where my head usually behaves itself.
For a reliable car, especially after all the trouble I had with my last one.
For my two cats for saving my life every single day, they are my reason.
For CA and the fellowship, I still have hope that this can last. 
That I no longer poison my mind, body, or soul with substances.
That I no longer live in the shame of secret active addiction.
That I no longer feel trapped with no way out.
That I no longer obsess over cocaine.
That I no longer find it impossible to tell myself ‘no’.
Thank you.

I’m grateful I’m up early hangover free and sober after a pretty good nights sleep.
I’m grateful I’m not bringing my screens to bed anymore. I’m grateful I do a 10 minute meditation before sleep and lights off.
I’m grateful last night I was tempted to check something on line when I was in bed, and ya, I played the tape forward, I would have probably been up another hour looking at Twitter or TS or Zillow. I’m grateful I thought if it’s important I’ll get to it tomorrow. Well it’s tomorrow and I cannot remember what it was. I’m grateful for my new going to bed routine.
I’m grateful I don’t react as much as I use to. I’m grateful I read how I’ve been a reactionary all my life. Even a crisis reactionary. Especially in restaurant management. 
Callie. Which wasn’t always bad. But it was ingrained in my way of everyday thinking for years. Much easier to learn about this and do this codependent stuff sober. Double bonus.
I’m grateful I love my 2 Pilates Reformer trainers. I always feel so great after doing it. @Hopeful777 just tagging you Marie because you do cross my mind and I wonder if you feel as great as I do after walking out of your Pilates session? Sober Pilates rocks!! I’m grateful I got my ass out in the cold and snow yesterday to get to my session.
I’m grateful to think about you all at different times and our commonality in our different countries and states. And we all have the same goal. I don’t know. It’s seems like I know just a little bit about you all and I’m grateful for that.
I grateful I read on the Hazeldon Betty Ford website, are you spending as much time working your program as you did drinking? Or something like that. So when I feel like I’m spending too much time on TS, whether it’s memes or foodie pics or whatever. I can cut my self some slack. I use to spend way more time drinking when I drinking all day. TS is my only recovery platform. It’s working. So I reckon I shouldn’t worry about it, if I’m on here too much.
I’m grateful I’m learning I don’t have to jump into the first feeling that comes my way and WALLOW in it.
Seriously learning this right now. I’m grateful I already know it feels good not to react to every little thing. I’ve learned to pause, or take a deep breath. Or think about it. Before I react. But I don’t have to WALLOW in my first feeling either. I’m grateful this might take some work.
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

I’m grateful for all the kiddos that have ever passed through my life, and for those still here. I’m grateful that although it’s through shared grief, some of us are reconnecting. Looks like I’ll be having some extra guests this summer. I’m grateful for my own kids and that they’ve always had a lot of friends. It enriches my life and theirs.
I’m grateful Eric has been learning about kind and loving detachment. It’s a helpful tool that I use when my world becomes too much.
I’m going to take a break from TS for a little bit. A day after learning about my son and son-in-law’s dear friend passing, we received news of a young man who lived with us for a short time passing, too. I won’t keep laying this grief on y’all, and if I visit here everyday, I’ll end up doing that. Please send light to our family. The grief has been so hard to bear.
I love y’all, and I’ll be back as soon as I’m able.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I made my PhD in France. I am grateful I met so many wonderful people during my time there.
I am grateful for the wonderful moments I had there. I am a bit sad at the moment for what I lost. I gained sobriety, though.
I am grateful Dora and Paula spent the afternoon on the balcony without any escape attempts.
I am grateful I make these new and different experience without caffeine.

I’m grateful I have the opportunity to teach, and to teach one-on-one, for a job. There is very little that is more satisfying for me than to see my students genuinely learn and grow. In what I’m actually teaching them, but also to help foster and maintain the love of learning, and increase confidence in them to know that they’re good enough no matter how long it takes them to learn.

Today I’m grateful for the input and insights I get from TS: detachment - a perspective I want to use more often, the silent signs of changing life terms - I’ve been feeling them for some weeks now, the constant reminder that all our feelings are valid - and that doesn’t mean to wallow in it, take a seat and have a cup of tea is fine. I feel a bit sensitive atm and I’m comfortable to read all these powerful posts

As I walked to the door of work today, after having a great holiday away, I felt a truly genuine full sense of gratitude towards my employer for having me there, for paying me for my skills for providing me money so I can turn on the heating at home, for the work being interesting and varied, for the folks I work with. It was a great feeling and it came from nowhere, in fact I was expecting the opposite, I was expecting to feel very blue to be back at work.

I am grateful that I feel amazing after yoga, that I set an intention to just do my best and that’s what I did.
I am grateful that I am healthy enough mentally to recognize that things shouldn’t be taken personally. The whole “It’s not about me, it’s about them.” Attitude really helps.
I am grateful for this resilience I have grown and that instead of getting butt hurt and shutting down I can appreciate that the other person is processing big things in their life.
I am grateful that “a little goes a long way”, “less is more” and " brevity is the soul of wit"
I am grateful that the meeting I went to last night still happened even though there was a lot of disruption before hand. Our disease manifests itself in so many ways, being confrontational and willful are two defects of chracter I am glad I have been saved from. Just for today.
I am grateful that I see effort from my child in trying to be more independent.
I am grateful that I can feel normal mumma feelings of pride, awe and a bit of sadness as she grows in these teenage years.
I am grateful I am clean today and present to experience them.

I’m grateful to be having a good day on the pain scale, for the sunshine while walking Miss Lupe, for the lack of ice on the pavement this morning and some significant snow melting today that has not turned into rivers in my basement. I’m grateful to have some energy and willingness to eat nutritious food, take care of some household chores and to be about to make dinner tonight. I’m grateful for online Scrabble with my Mami and for texts with my Papi about tattoo plans. I’m grateful for simple pleasures, for watering my plants and inspecting them and finding new growth on my new additions to the family. I’m grateful I’ve found homes for some plants I’ve propagated.
I’m grateful to feel less anxious when going out in public. I’m grateful for my breath.
Grateful for my amigos on TS

I’m grateful to have caught up on some rest.
I’m grateful to be hangover free.
I’m grateful I’m not waking up to alcohol related problems like I used to.
I’m grateful for the good examples of how miserable an alcoholic existence is.
This crab season has shown me that every time I step foot on that boat. I watch my co-workers suffer. I watch them try and change it only to get dragged down because they can’t shake the illusion that drinking makes life better. That used to be me.
I’m grateful that I have dodged that bullet for
I’m grateful for the clarity of mind that not drinking for that long has given me. I’m grateful for all of those one day at a times. I’m proud to be sober today!
Just because not drinking has become easy, doesn’t mean I can stop feeding my recovery. I’m grateful to recognize that on this beautiful spring day!
I’m grateful for nature!
My goal is to slow my life down a little so that I can enjoy it more. I’m grateful for that goal. Workaholism is something I recognize that I fall into easily. I’ve been doing it again. I’m grateful to recognize that.

I never mind hearing anything you need to share. If you need to take a break for you then that’s what you need to do, but I know I’ll be worrying about you if you’re not here. And talking about grief is also how you get through it so if you ever need to, please please message me

I’m working on balance with my time spent here too. I kind of enjoyed the break, but I also got out of balance. Making the time to participate here last night and today has me feeling better.
Balance is something I have always struggled with. Just when I think I’m getting it figured out, life changes and I have to start over. Is balance even possible?
Work in progress…

Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a home full of people and animals I love, enough food and water, and the other luxuries that I take for granted. I’m grateful that humans can be kind, loving, and good hearted. I’m grateful that I found TS when I needed it, and a lot of the reminders of the goodness of people come from here. I’m grateful that @I.cant.We.can has 14 days no gambling to add to his impressive tally of sober days😊.
@ShesGotMoxie, I’m sorry for your pain, and by all means do what you need to do to take care of yourself. But use us if you need us, we are always here.
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I’m grateful I found someone who makes me want to be a better person. I’m grateful I’m doing my best.
I’m grateful for my heart, that I can trust it.
I’m really grateful I don’t drink. I’m grateful my addict isn’t in the drivers seat anymore.
I’m grateful I think through abrupt thoughts, that I get to the core of them.
I’m grateful I ask why.
I’m grateful my ego doesn’t dominate my actions or better yet reactions anymore. Sometimes my ego flares her head up and that’s ok. I acknowledge her presence, take a deep breath, and think with my heart instead.
I’m grateful I can see ego in others now and I can relate and come from a place of love, understanding, and compassion- but also create some boundaries.
I’m grateful for my emotions, deep feelings, and any experience that reminds me that I am alive. How simultaneously unbearable, mundane, magical and remarkable life is. I am grateful that I am exactly where I need to be right now.
I’m grateful I don’t try and pour from an empty pitcher anymore. I can feel when I need to fill myself up, I allow myself to take that time with less guilt.
I am grateful to be on this confusing, beautiful journey with myself, with all of you
