Good evening all,
Iām grateful for a good day. Iām grateful that I am sober and so when my daughter needed help with math, and I couldnāt help her, we didnāt hesitate to FaceTime my mom. I would NEVER do this in my drinking days because I would have already been really drunk and wouldnāt want her to see me like that. Iām grateful for all the things that surprise me like that. Iām grateful that I made brownies for dessert. Iām grateful we will eat them while we watch Wheel of Time. Iām grateful for all of the amazing milestones here recently!
Everyone have a wonderful evening

I am grateful to be closing out a solid day of recovery. Alllll day recovery, itās incredible really. I am grateful that celebrating my Sober Twinās 2 years was what started my day of recovery. I am grateful for Eric and his two years. I am grateful for his birthday a couple years ago when I told him he would regret having to reset his āticker thingyā; he knew exactly what I meant. I am grateful that interaction started an amazing friendship that I wasnāt expecting.
I am grateful for the set of steps I started today and the new way I am doing them. I am curious about it and I love that feeling. Curiosity, I am grateful for Curiosityā¦ I mean how crazy is that.
Curiosity is so pure and I thought everything pure in me was gone. I am grateful I was wrong.
When I was driving home today I found myself in tears, sobbing at the movie I was seeing in my mind. It wasnāt a movie, it was my life. I guess my step work took me back there and I remember the fear. I could feel how scared I was the first time I had to go back for more dope. Once I realized I was hooked, I remember that feeling like it is yesterday and I am grateful for that too.
I am grateful for homeschooling and that we can get back to business tomorrow while in-person schools are closed a bit longer due to COVID.
I am grateful to be learning new things everyday and for the opportunities to apply what I learn.

I am grateful that there are people here, whether day live on the other side of the ocean or in my home country, which I have never met in personā¦Are willing to give me the full support in overcoming my addiction.

Iām grateful to wake up sober and well rested.
Itās a violent storm with gust to 90 MPH with steady 60-70 MPH wind since yesterday. Itās going to drop to 40 this afternoon through tomorrow. Iām grateful for the break.
I was tired from our last two trips. We ran half our gear in heavy seas the first trip. The pots were coming up wrecking ball style. 2nd trip the ocean was calm, and we ran all of our gear at turbo speed. Itās close to home and close together so there arenāt any breaks. I slept and worked on videos and ate good. I brought crab home. It was worth the effort. Iām grateful for a day of self-care.
Iām grateful for self-care. As a drunk, I never practiced it. I like it!
Im grateful for @Dazercat! Congrats my friend! I thought about you eating crab yesterday. I toasted you with a claw and wished Santa Monica was closer, so I could share my feast with you. I celebrated your milestone with double fudge brownie ice cream for desert!
Im grateful that @Angie650 has found her way here. Welcome!
We are still catching crab. Itās better than Iāve ever seen it this far into the season. We caught over 5000 pounds last week. We have delivered over 60 thousand pounds this season. This has been my best season. Iām grateful.
No fatalities for any Oregon boats this year either. Iām grateful for that.
Today is payday, I have a break from work and I have zero desire to drink today. Im grateful!

Iām grateful the first thing I see when I go to the TS app is a beautiful picture of my mom and dad sitting on a bench in Fredericksburg TX at this beautiful nursery and they look so happy. And it reminds me of the acres and acres of purple lavender that was out back as far as the eye could see.
Iām grateful and feel humbled to accept so many affirmations yesterday on my 2 year soberversary. It felt different, like so many people have said. I donāt know. On my first year I just felt more prideful and beboping around with Madonna. This year I felt more exhausted most of the day yesterday. And overwhelmed with the love here. Iām grateful to be able to feel these feelings. Iām grateful today is just ODAAT in my sobriety.
And probably tomorrow too. 
Iām most grateful for Carolynās share on my thread. Itās so obvious and I know Iāve read it before. But I just gotta quit going to the hardware store for bread 
. They still donāt have any bread 
maybe now, reading it posted from someone else who gets it, it will stick. Iām going to tag you in on my reading today on my thread too. God giving me the reading I needed today 
Iām grateful when I read Living Clean, in the morning,I feel like Iām in Stellaās classroom and sheās my favorite third grade teacher. I was reading about spirituality this morning. I swear Stella wrote this chapter.
Iām grateful for my health.
Iām grateful for my life.
Iām grateful for my wife.
Iām grateful for my grown up children.
Iām grateful for my pets.
Iām grateful for abundance sunshine all day.
Iām grateful to get back to the daily grind and Christmas is over.
Iām grateful for my exciting, scary, unknown future, as we plan a near final moving chapter in our lives. I so donāt want to go through the act of moving again. But Iām good at it. Imagine how nice it will be doing it sober. Another first to add to my goals.
Iām grateful for my new calm demeanor. Even if some people donāt see it. I see it. More importantly I feel it.
Weāre all broken.
Thatās how the light
gets in.

Aww thanks Jason.
Just point that boat south.
I couldnāt have done it without you. Whenever I think maybe I can drink ālike a gentleman.ā I have a good chuckle and think of you and chapter 3. God that will always seal the deal. I love crab legs 
. I was pretty grateful for the jumbo shrimp and bone in rib-eye last night for my celebration.
Grateful you back safe and checking in.

Grateful for me time now in the evening, I need to be alone and I need the silence

I am grateful my twins are back in school this morning and donāt have to do Zoom school! I was a little bit worried about that with the Omicron spike. I am grateful they are both healthy.
I am grateful I have a therapy appointment this morning - Itās been 4 weeks since my last one which seems like a long time. It will be a virtual appointment.
I am grateful for all of you on TS even though I had screen fatigue this weekend from checking in so much! Lol. I couldnāt sleep Saturday night from all of the screen time. Iām grateful I was able to catch up with seep last night and that I am not hung over. Iām forever grateful about that!

It snows occasionally here, mostly above 1000 feet. I have seen a few inches of snow on the beach a couple of times in 20 years. Its wet and doesnāt stick long. Itās mostly rain. We get an average of 74 inches of rain in the winter. Iāve seen it rain twelve inches in a day here. The rain hasnāt hit yet. This afternoon is going to dump. most of the time its 2-4 inches of rain over a couple of days. Then itās nice for a few days. When the skies are clear it gets cold, we average 50ish degree temperatures most of the time in the winter, sometimes 60 degrees on sunny days.

I am grateful itās Monday and I will be able to have some contact with the vet. Switch some food up, maybe get my old sick girl weighed. I am grateful for the experience I have had and the trust I have in myself. I remember before I had worked in the industry and my Rottie would get sick how helpless I felt. Grateful I do feel quite so anxious and out of control anymore.
I am grateful for our NA literature that is written for addicts by addicts. Yesterday I was a part of two book studies using two different books. I too often feel I could have written them and that is the beauty of the program. I am grateful to be reminded often through our literature of how similar we are in our thoughts and our actions as this allows me to understand other addicts on a completely different level. They are me and I am them. I am grateful that the feeling of terminal uniqueness has left the building.
I am grateful that the holidays are over and I can now put my nose to the grind with my kiddo and get her through this school year. I am grateful that I feel peaceful around her choice to not take medication. Her body, her choice. I am grateful that she is open and willing to extending her school year if it comes to that, she is a good kid and she works very hard.
I am grateful for my life today.
