I’m grateful for @CATMANCAM’s kind words yesterday. It was not a good day. I tend to just say that the day is dark when it’s also bitterly cold and that it could rain. I’ve learned, in general, not to bother, but when it’s bad enough I’ll admit that it’s dark and that I don’t like it. So in those times it matters to have someone acknowledge that it’s dark. And because it matters, it is enough, and for that I’m grateful.

Today I’m grateful all the work on the checklist is done. Grateful I forgot to buy something I need sunday, it gives me a reason to stop by my favourite health food shop tomorrow. Grateful I like my car, it carries me everywhere and is reliable and comfy. Grateful I have a good garage, very professional. Greateful for being tired after an intense day and going to bed where the cats wait for me. Grateful for snuggles from them and my husband. Not to forget: I’m grateful I discovered that my main PC has a camera. For the last year I thought it doesn’t. No comment …

Today I am grateful to be clean, feel good about myself, and breathe life. Today I sang romantic songs for myself, and I didn’t have melancholy, I just feel that I begin to see myself with love and more compassion.

Today I am grateful for meeting my daily routines and goals for my mental and physical health, because I have healthy senses and good motor skills.

Today I am grateful for the long rain at noon even though I was anxious because I could not stay still and I wanted to return to the office quickly, I had to calm my mind and contemplate my surroundings, great ideas came to me to architecture designs and I am grateful for that, I think I have a great idea for an interior space in the rainy season, and I think it works well in the climate of the Amazon.

Today I am grateful that my nephew graduated from high school, he is a good boy and a person with whom I had to make amends, I did not give the best example in my time of active addiction, I am glad to know that he has me as an example not to do things that harm oneself and the family.

Today I am grateful for feeling emotions more deeply.
Although experiencing moments of overwhelming sadness I also recognize the joy I am feeling through sobriety is something I had almost forgotten.
I am grateful that I was able to express my emotions calmly and breathe through the discomfort I felt within myself the majority of the day.
I’m grateful for expressing my emotions calmly even though I felt like a volcano waiting to explode.
I’m grateful for the tears that flowed from my eyes as I looked deeper within myself to understand some of the emotions I have had buried for so long.
I’m grateful for everyone here who has been so encouraging and inspiring and caring and I am especially grateful tonight for @Its_me_Stella for voting for peanut butter ice cream

I’m grateful to catch up on this thread. To catch up everyone’s shares from the last couple of weeks and relate to them. It enhances my gratitude.
I finished my 3rd sober crab season yesterday. My obligations and commitment to that boat are finished now. I’m officially only employed by myself now. Doing both was stressing me out! I had a bit of a meltdown. I My fear of my workaholism surfaced. Previous employer’s drinking was stressing me out (He has been demoted from Skipper to previous employer status) And some fear about actually being self-employed again and everything that comes with it. There’s still a lot of pain attached to those memories. It surfaced. Every painful memory, mistakes I made, my workaholism, Things I regret because of workaholism, fear of failure, fear of success, current global events, and how nothing ever gets fixed. We just move from one disaster to another. My inner conspiracy theorist is triggered. It all added up to the worst anxiety attack that I’ve had in a while. I had zero desire to drink. I am grateful.
I ate and I rested. I participated here as much as I could while it was happening. Talking about it takes its power away. I’m grateful for this place!
My inner alcoholic hits me from every angle. Sometimes one or two angles at a time, sometimes all of them at once. After thinking about it with clarity of mind because I’m sober. I recognize this. The perfect time to get me is while I’m making major changes. It couldn’t get me to think a drink will fix anything. I am grateful!
It was my best crab season ever. I wasn’t tempted to go to the bar last night and celebrate! I am grateful.
No serious injuries, and no close calls this year either. It was a pretty easy season (for crabbing) We fished close to home. I am grateful!
Previous employer was sober my first sober season when I started. He started drinking at the end of that season. I’ve been worried about being at the whim of a potentially reckless drunk for a couple of years. He is an alcoholic. He isn’t finished yet. He is talented. The best fisherman I have ever fished with. I learned a lot! It was challenging at times, but it got me where I wanted to be, I made enough money for my boat. I’m grateful I was able to stay sober fishing with him, and I’m grateful to no longer be at the mercy of his active alcoholism. I hope he figures it out and is fotunate enough to stay sober one day.
I am fortunate! If I didn’t quit when I did, I don’t think I’d still be here. I love being alive! I am grateful!
I see many of you nurturing your inner artist! It makes me grateful to see this. It’s been so good for my recovery!

This is huge isn’t it. I’m so proud of you!!!
Amazing! I struggle with this one and I can not wait for my true inner voice to be stronger than the alcoholic voice but at the moment I’m just trying to be louder to drown out the noise.
Thanks for your post and congratulations on your amazing and inspiring recovery

Today I’m grateful I tried something new and it worked out.
Grateful for special bathroom fittings I had installed in case one cat needs a but-shower. Works perfectly! Grateful cat is happy and fluffy again, not stinky.
Grateful for dishwashers, I would never cook without it anymore.
Grateful I cooked a lot today, yummi food for at least 4 days. Grateful for fridge and freezer.
Grateful for a cozy couch, nice Agatha Christie films and a pause in the afternoon.
Grateful there is still a bit of saturday left to enjoy things I like. Because doing chores is not my favourite waste of time.

Keep doing that. I think being aware of it is half the battle. For me successfully being louder and taking action repeatedly has make the desire to drink less and less. working hard on recovery has made it valuable to me. My life is better today than it was while I was drinking. I’ve made a lot of changes. They add up.

Today, presently, I feel grateful for so much in my life. All my readings this morning had so much meaning to them, I kept thinking, I’m grateful I do that……Im grateful I don’t do this……… But I guess today I’m most grateful to God for 800 days of continuous sobriety. 800 days without a drink. I’m grateful I was up late last night and posted my milestone. Now today, I’ll get a lot of congratulations and admiration for my accomplishment. And ya know what? It feels fucking awesome! Ya it does! I’m grateful I love getting congratulated for each ODAAT of my sobriety. Yes I do! Thank you all very much. Every ODAAT IS A BIG DEAL!
When we recover loudly we keep others from dying quietly I just love that saying 
I’m grateful I’m still learning to Let Go and Let God. And even Let Go and Let People do their thing. I’m only responsible for me and my feelings. And I can barely do that.
I’m grateful, as a codependent, my life is not, and has not, been unmanageable for a long time. Sure my wife had too much to drink last night. And she said she had 4 pieces of pizza when she only had 2. I corrected her once. She insisted she had 4 slices. I dropped it. I win. Am I really going to argue about how many slices of pizza someone had? I don’t think so! And if she staggers out of the restaurant it’s not a reflection on me. No it’s not! I’m sober. I’m walking just fine. If anyone thinks it’s a reflection on me? Well fuck them! They don’t know shit. This doesn’t happen often. Actually, it’s hardly happened at all lately. Especially this year. But I remember what it’s like to have too much some nights. Shit happens. Im grateful we are still going out tonight for a nice dinner. Because it could happen again. But I’m not going to cancel because I got 800 days! I’m treating myself tonight. She doesn’t even know I got 800 days. Unless she sees my Twitter post. Maybe I’ll tell her, maybe I won’t. I wish there was a counter for codependency. Because I think I’m killing it!
I’m grateful I saw Jason Fisher checking in somewhere around here while I’m doing my gratitude. Your a solid rock for my sobriety. Buddy.
I’m grateful I checked in yesterday on the check in thread because I was stressed about the move. I don’t check in there much with my day to day problems. Frankly, I don’t have many day to day problems. And I’m never caught up on that thread. And that’s ok. I don’t have to be caught up on any thread. But I do have to remember how I got here and get back to basics sometimes. So I’m grateful I dumped my feelings over there about the stress I was feeling yesterday. And it always makes me feel better. And it did. And I’d do it again. I’m grateful I know nothing good can come from holding my feelings in. Nothing. I’m grateful I know I still need to work on that IRL but I can do it here.
I’m grateful for the magic of TS and especially the magic of gratitude. It works if you work it. And I’m worth it. So are you! Ya you! 
I’m not drinking today.
And there’s probably, no way in hell I’m drinking tomorrow

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for a nice talk with my mom this morning.
I am grateful for a sunny Saturday.
I am grateful I can let go of anxiety and panic from time to time. I am grateful Dora and Paula don’t think about war. I envy them for being unaware of this bs.
I am grateful I have all I need atm.
I am grateful I won’t drink today to calm me down.
I am grateful I can come here whenever I want and can be proud of my sober time. Here, where I am noone seems to care. Sometimes I think if you haven’t done detox or rehab you didn’t have a problem. People won’t take it seriously. I am grateful I didn’t need that. I am grateful I could quit before. So grateful I got this chance.

I relate to this sooooo much. I’m grateful you quit when you did, too. And me, too! I’ve been reading about rock bottoms and how we can define them for ourselves. I’m grateful for your share today.

Good morning everyone
I’m grateful for …
- My sobriety
- Food and shelter
- Friends
- God
- Music
- Watermelon juice ( favorite sober drink )
- This community
I have to keep things very simple right now. Learning how to deal with life and live responsibly and make the right decisions. I’m very big on my morning routine more than anything. I’m grateful for all the small things I took for granted or didn’t have in my life before … If I want to stay sober I have to participate in my recovery.

Thanks Rosa. Appreciate it. What are you cooking for my celebration? And what time is dinner? 
May I request no arugula .
Or you could join us for dinner at the Tinder Box.
I bet they don’t do a carnitas as good as yours.
@anon74766472
Franzi and Rosa I get the detox rehab thing too. I can relate. It doesn’t bother me anymore. It doesn’t matter how we got where we are. Or where we come from. I’m just grateful I am where I am. Fuck it. We’re sober. Our past is history. We all know what happens if we pick up that first drink. Whether we been to rehab or not. That part’s the same for all of us. That’s what matters.
I’m grateful I get to walk the dogs and it’s sunny and cold but not Icy.
