Oh weddings are hard! Good for you!!! It’s a great feeling to make it though an event like that. I have a couple of events coming up, and athough I’m slightly nervous, I’m excited for the feeling of accomplishing sobriety under pressuring circumstances. Congratulations, you must feel amazing

I’m grateful for feeling more comfortable in my own skin and remembering peices of myself that seemed to have been missing for so long.
I’m grateful for waking up this morning and feeling excited for my day, and learning little bit by little bit that being in the moment is more important than worrying about what you are going to accomplish tomorrow.
I’m grateful for laughing out loud and spending time with my sister-in-law without worrying about being perfect.
I’m grateful for my family and my furry friends and for this very moment where I’m snuggled up with my new little kitten. I mostly grateful that she’s finally settled down and I can get some sleep.
I’m grateful for all of you for helping me get back to a place I forgot existed, and for helping me continue on this journey that I have waited so long for.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful to have slept in for a couple days. I’m grateful I don’t have to work until Friday. I’m grateful to have opened my mind to a change in my work life. I haven’t settled on what the change will be yet, but the fact that I have decided something needs to change there feels good. I’m grateful for my coffee and for the sunshine today. I’m grateful @Dazercat got 800 days- that’s amazing! I’m grateful that this thread and the people on it matter so much to me. I’m also grateful that I can take a day or two away and not feel that I’m jeopardizing my sobriety.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful I spent some time e-mailing back and forth with my daughter this morning before doing my gratitude list.
I’m grateful I am very routine oriented, but I can also realize that corresponding with my daughter and friends can be more important and I can always do gratitude. Not sure I could handle a day or 2 away though. But I bet I could.
thanks Sunflower. I’m glad you’re here 
I’m grateful to be prepared as things unfold this week to pop over to Cali next week and get this move done.
I’m grateful both my wife and I think we are leaving the other alone to do the worst chore. Otherwise, she thinks me going to Cali to supervise the move would be dreadful. Im grateful I’m so fine with it. And I feel, I’m leaving her behind to take care of all the pets alone. Since there are 2 very old ones out of the six and cold dog walks alone and lots of meds to give. Im grateful she’s fine with that.
I’m grateful we make such a super team together.
Always!!
I’m grateful that no matter what, in our 38 1/2 years of marriage we’ve always, always, have had each other’s back. Except for some sketchy years in the early 90’s when we almost got a divorce 
In the most horrific of times through our years though It’s like we work together as one. It’s really amazing. And I’m very grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful it’s a not too cold sunny day and the window cleaners are coming to do inside and out. I’m grateful my wife doesn’t give a shit about clean windows 
. And I’m grateful I really love to have clean windows. And I’m grateful for those fun kind of differences.
I’m grateful to have another chance to test my sobriety with this move coming up. I feel very confident. I also know I’m not going to take any chances and ask the hotel to lock up the mini bar or clear it out for me.
I’m grateful I’ll be able to walk on the beach again if I have time.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful for this gratitude practice.
I’m grateful for the conversations I’ve been having with my daughter by email about her art. It’s way over my head but I want to support her 
I’m grateful for my house and home and wife and children and their spouses and my pets and my grand pets and soon to add grand daughter in July. Mother and child are healthy and well half way through the pregnancy.
I’m grateful I brought children into the world when I was young. Good plan there God
I’m grateful for y’all.
In order to keep an open mind, I am trying to avoid learning anything.

I’m grateful to feel rested up and ready to take care of many things that I have been wanting to take care of.
I’m in Bandon. I just cashed my final paycheck from crabbing and also my final paycheck from previous employer.
It’s enough to treat myself to that submarine drone I have had my eye on. It’s going to be the last thing I feed my camera addiction for a while. I’ll be able to film anything while I’m fishing this summer.
It feels really good to have an no alcohol or drugs allowed zone on the ocean. I’ve never had that before. I am grateful!
No cigarettes either. It’s been impossible for me to stay quit on a boat where everyone smokes. I’ve cut down significantly over the last few weeks. In preparation to quit % after crab season. I am grateful.
I’ve got my painting supplies out to keep my hands busy when I’m at home. It worked before. It will work again. I’m grateful to have a plan.
I’m going to throw my cigarette savings towards scuba gear. I’ve been talking about doing it for years. Time to quit talking and do it!
I’m grateful for the relationship I have with the ocean. She inspire me. Being sober makes it even more rewarding. I’m grateful!

I’m grateful for 7+ months of sobriety. I’m grateful that during these sad times I’ve resisted the urges to drink. I’m grateful I was able to mourn with my son and his friends. I’m grateful for good memories and laughter. They help us heal. At times like this, I’m grateful for my house and having space to put everyone.
I’m grateful for my oldest daughter and her husband. We usually go down to Texas for spring break to visit with them, but with the now three unexpected deaths, they chose to come up and be with family and friends. I appreciate them so much. I’m grateful Keely and her boyfriend came and stayed this past weekend, too. I can’t be thankful enough for my kids coming together for each other. I must’ve done something right.
I’ve missed y’all this past week. I hope you’re all doing well.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful my old landlord finally answered myle and apparently I’ll get some money back from my old apartment. So, this chapter will be closed.
I am grateful I think I am healthy although I am not really. Time will tell.
I am grateful for the smell of the laundry that dried in 3h on the balcony.
I am grateful my bike was ready today and I could go and get it. I am thinking of a new saddle as my butt is still hurting from yesterday. It’ll be an investment but hey, it’s an important part of mine.

I am grateful for the sun, dissolving the spring fog in the city. It brings hope and warmth, something that is urgently needed in the world right now. I am grateful, that after a few days in bed with Covid, I can now be outside again and refuel myself. I cannot smell or taste anything yet, but just looking at coffee and imagining what it tastes like, does the trick for now. I am grateful for the people, that checked in with me and looked out for me, during the past days. It’s good to know people are there, when you need them. I feel truly loved. Getting ready for a new day

I’m grateful for a good night’s sleep. Good food, and to have been able to participate here more the last few days.
This place has been a huge part of my recovery. It’s so easy to access. I’m grateful.
At home I use my computer. I keep TS running in the back ground while I’m editing photos and videos. I have a short attention span. The internet is an easy place for me to get distracted. YouTube, Facebook, gaming, TS all distract me from my video editing. It’s really easy for me to waste alot of time online.
In between crabbing trips I started staying offline so I could focus more on my video editing.
Crabbing was close to home and my hands were always in gloves that don’t allow me to use my phone.
When I did get a moment I was so far behind on my favorite threads that I felt I couldn’t invest the time to catch up.
Being able to catch up and participate has made me feel alot better. I am grateful. I’m grateful to be able to recognize that this morning.
The 12th step. Cutting myself off from being able to give away what I have in order to keep it. I need to do that. It keeps it real for me. It feels good to help others navigate all the pitfalls of recovery. It reminds me of all those challenges I’ve walked through. I’m grateful to see that this morning.
I’m just a drink away from being a drunk. I’m a drink away from being a crack head. I’m a drink away from being spun on meth. I’m a drink away from being a black out drunk driver.
Sober me doesn’t want to be any of those things. As a drunk, I became all of those things. I need to give away what I have. I want to keep what I’ve got. I am grateful to be sober!
The Internet is addicting. I’ve always struggled with spending too much time online. I’m grateful to be aware of that. I have to keep it balanced.

Today I am grateful that I am clean because I have tools and the ability to solve problems with myself.

I’m really, really, grateful to be off the merry go-round, of the hell on earth, of drinking. I read that this morning in my Hazeldon Betty Ford reading. I’ve always thought is was a merry go-round. And I just couldn’t get off it. Or didn’t want to 
And I’m grateful I’ve accepted my powerlessness over alcohol. Only then or now can I change. I’m grateful that ditto for my codependent behavior. I’m grateful, I know I’m so fucken powerless over others.
I’m grateful I got the heavy thoughts out of the way 
And I can be grateful when Daisy or Maverick are on my neck in the morning. It really is actually time to get up. I’m grateful they don’t do that at 3 or 4 in the morning.
I’m grateful for the fun morning routine of feeding Daisy and Maverick and Benson. The others? Not so much 
I’m grateful when I look at Minnie and she seems more gorgeous every day in her old age. Too bad that doesn’t happen to me
I’m grateful my windows are sooooo cleeeeeean
I’m grateful for the cat smudges on the window where their perch is right after the boys cleaned them 
I’m grateful it’s supposed to get up to 61 degrees today. Maybe I can get an afternoon walk in since I’m busy this morning. C’MON Spring!!
I’m grateful I crack people up 
My newish Pilates Trainer said that by text when she was warning me about disruption possibilities during our session yesterday. I’m grateful I have 2 really good Pilates trainers and they are so different. And fun.
I’m grateful I get to go out to lunch today.
I’m grateful for the new recipe I tried last night and it was awesome.
I’m grateful I don’t have to, or want to, or need to, drink today. And I probably don’t have to, or want to, or need to, drink tomorrow. @LeeHawk @Jesile And I’m so grateful for you 2 using my phrase. It always puts such a smile on my face. And makes me so happy 
I’m grateful for y’all right here
I’d like to make a motion that we face reality.
