I’m grateful I have a way to help my cat in the twilight of her years beyond conventional medicine, though it’s not always easy to get her to stay in one place to do it! But I think I’ve figured out something that will work… For now. :laughing: And I’m grateful for as long as it works. I can’t do anything else for her kidneys, but I was able to help her quite a bit in that area for a while, and so I’m grateful for that. Nothing is a panacea, and eventually we all go to the clearing at the end of the path.

I’m grateful she has people on this forum who care enough about her to check on her well being or offer advice, like @Dazercat and @Alisa . She will never know about it, so I will have to be twice as appreciative for us both. :wink:

Hello, I’m tired today and a little fatigued, but I know that I have to make this list, it’s a commitment to myself.

  • Today I am thankful for having a stable job.

  • Today I am grateful for my discipline in my exercise routines and healthy eating. I have been learning more about my diet.

  • Today I am grateful that my parents are together enjoying their grandson’s graduation party, there is a lot of happiness in the family now.

  • Today I am grateful for having tools to overcome negative thoughts.

  • Today I am grateful that my higher power loves me and blesses me daily.

  • Today I am grateful to realize that I still get hung up on frustration by circumstances, and have the strength to let go, let go of the reins.

  • Today I am thankful for taking a shower and having a clean bed.

  • Today I am grateful that although I feel a low mood right now, I am certain that I am not going to anesthetize him with substances or alcohol.

Morning,
Today I’m grateful for beating a craving, my first proper craving this time round. I used my ‘play the tape’ tool which was pretty effective. I also remembered advice that I’ve read on TS that it will pass, it did. I realised that I was hungry too and after I’d eaten I didn’t think of it again. Good also that I don’t have anything in the house.
Grateful for everyone here, great advice and grateful for the people who take time to post.
Grateful to be waking up fresh.
Thanks everyone :sparkling_heart:

I’m grateful for my husband’s support today

I’m grateful for my family, my home, my pets and my new kitten.

On this beautiful chill morning I’m grateful for for the view, I love this place. Grateful my cats are fun and demand breakfast. Grateful for a warm shower in a clean bathroom (chores done yesterday👍)
Grateful my drunken husband found his way on the couch sometime while I slept, he was loitering around somewhere on the farm, I didn’t look where he was. Grateful that I don’t care much, I’m so used to his fucking up together plans and me having a good time on my own. Grateful that I now will have delicious breakfast, groom the cats and drive off to attend an exposition I want to see.

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 had today off, second day this week, I needed it, even took a nap. I’m grateful my parents came to visit and took me out for lunch. I’m grateful Eric @Dazercat has 800 days sober wooo. I’m grateful that my parents talked some sense into me today as did my house manager. I’m grateful for what @JasonFisher mentioned about big changes and that being a prime time for our addict to get us, I have been noticing it here. I’m grateful I still haven’t gambled, day 19, really wanted to, in the past I would try and win enough to pay off debts. I’m grateful that this mornings Jft was what I needed to read. I’m grateful all these changes can be broken down into smaller managable pieces. I’m grateful that my plans I made for the money I have been saving, for my new place and school, can still happen regardless of God laughing and sending me a very significant Bill this past thursday, it doesn’t have to stop anything or delay anything. I’m grateful I can do the right thing, make a payment plan. I’m grateful when my old thinking of fuck it, blow it all up arises I don’t have to act on it, I’m sober and mostly rational now :crazy_face: . I’m grateful I can pause, breathe, nap, eat, talk and type about these “problems” that I obviously made. I’m grateful I have learned to take responsibility instead of running. I’m so grateful that this forum is always here. I have not been getting to twelve step meetings, in person or online, I don’t have a sponsor, can’t just walk to and visit at the treatment center as they still aren’t allowing visitors. I’m grateful that hard times can lead to good times if we can fight through them and remember we aren’t alone. I’m grateful for perspective and that my first world problems are small. I’m grateful I have food, a warm bed, loving parents and siblings. I’m grateful for music and laughter. I’m grateful the time change is happening which means more light, less dark, sounds good to me. I’m grateful to God, please help me to be happy healthy and strong, guide me to do your will.
God bless you all. :v: :heart:

p.s. You are amazing. Thanks for being here. Ya you!!

I’m grateful, when I woke up this morning, I was kind of down after such a wonderful high yesterday and I’ve learned in life you cannot chase those feelings or highs. Well, you can chase them if you want to :slightly_smiling_face: But I can create new highs and just celebrate another day in sobriety. Just for today I will not drink and that’s pretty cool :sunglasses:
