Good morning all,
I’m grateful that I feel happy and peaceful this morning. I’m grateful to embrace these feelings, I know they won’t last forever. I’m grateful that I don’t work until Friday. I’m grateful to have time with my family, and time to rest. I’m grateful that drinking plays absolutely no part in my time off. I’m grateful I have the energy ( maybe not the desire 
) to get caught up with house stuff that stresses me out. I’ll feel better once it’s done. I’m grateful to have found this place, this thread, and you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I am grateful for people that show up in my life that inspire me to be a better person.
I am grateful for my step group and the safety I feel with the three women in it.
I am grateful for step four, particularly resentments this go around.
I am grateful for the willingness to look at how my resentments have turned me into an awful person.
I am grateful that I am humble enough to ask my sponsor for help with one particular resentment because I just don’t know what to do.
I am grateful for her wisdom and all of her resources.
I am grateful that I have the time to sit and do a 12 step exercise specifically on this resentment.
I am grateful that I can see light at the end of a very dark tunnel that has voices screaming at me of pain, humiliation, fear, anger, sadness…
I am grateful that maybe, just maybe I will be able to let this go.

I am grateful to have been blessed with time to myself this morning.
I’m grateful to have already cleaned up and packed out my roommates belongings who jumped ship on the home and responsibilities here.
Grateful to have also been able to clean out and organize my bffs vehicle.
Grateful to have the opportunity to use his vehicle a d get such things accomplished.
Grateful that I’ve accomplished so much already before noon and I actually don’t feel rushed to get anywhere or do something else. Like this is really something I ought to dive deeper in to… I usually feel pressed to do for someone else or go get something else done blah blah. Huh… (im literally getting revelation on this as I type)
Grateful that my friend entrusts me so much that they are not rushing me or pressing me to get back. That I’m gifted this time to be me and in process of being me I’m also getting things done that need to be done. No rush rush. Whoa… This is big for me.
So grateful for many of you who congratulate each other and share so much good stuff. It helps meore than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for celebrating me too. It’s new to me and I’m learning how to accept compliments without saying anything other than “thank you”.
Thank you. I’m grateful for you.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I made it to my appointment this afternoon.
When I left the company I saw how a bird got hit by a car or it flew into the front wheel. It was flying, hopping, crawling to the sidewalk. I am grateful it didn’t bleed. I went there and pick him up and lay him into the grass. He died after some seconds. I cried.
I am grateful I sensed the stress mounting inside of me. I own it. I create it. I have yet to find a way out of this, my, treadmill.

Thank you for taking care of the bird. I understand that <3 I am grateful for people like you who know that life has value.
I am also grateful that my boyfriend ceased being an enabler. He was bringing me alcohol because he thought it was what I wanted, and he, knowing my history, wants me to have whatever I could possibly want. I asked him if he was doing it for me, or for him. He hasn’t brought it up (do you want a drink?) nor brought any to the house since. Yay

This morning I’m grateful for the cloudy sky outside. We didn’t have rain in months, maybe today. Grateful for a decent night’s sleep and a horrifying nightmare: I was back in school. Not for all money in the world I would spend one hour at any school anymore in my life. Interesting how deep bad experiences stick even decades after.
Grateful I woke up next to my snorring husband, it calmed me immediately to realize I’m home and loved and have a cozy life.
I’m grateful for tea. A fresh cup of tea makes the world a better place for me and schoo away disturbing thoughts - and nightmare anxiety.
Grateful my old boy lays on my chest purring and wags his tail over my face. so sweet and soft

Tonight I am grateful to be given the lesson which showed I’m still thinking about MY comfort and demanding consideration. Today I will allow people to be imperfect and as my Uncle says, be ever mindful of the needs of others.
Anger was known today 
And I’ll be grateful for a new day to unfold.
Sweet dreams sober friends.

There’s something about the way you wrote and what you said (other than the fact that I do work up until Friday) that made me do a double read and say “did I write that?”
I especially love the part:
Thank you for your post.
P.S I love your profile pic!

Me too friend me too.
I am grateful that my brain is retaining information I read now.
I am grateful to have been reminded that anxiety and enthusiasm come from the same source. So when immediately I went to blame my body sensations on anxiety I was able to think for a second and say… " nope this is enthusiasm for sure."
I am grateful for the courage to reach out to a new friend and invite them for a walk.
I am grateful for the heartfelt conversation, and honesty between us.
I am grateful for what feels like a constant river of tears these days, it’s like another part of me has come undone. Keeping myself out of self centered thinking has been key so I am grateful for all of the addicts in my life that share their recovery with me.
I am grateful that I slept in until 7:30 yesterday and I thought that was the end of my sunrises until the fall… but I was up at 5:30 today so guess where I am heading.
I am grateful to live at the beach so I am able to experience the more beautiful sunrises.
I am grateful for the exponential growth I have had in the last 7 years. If you had seen me then you wouldn’t think I was the same person. Recovery takes patience and some times a lot of time.
I am grateful I never gave up on myself.

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I got a full nights sleep last night without getting up and no screens when I go to bed.
I’m grateful I got a move date for Cali.
I’m grateful I have lots of confidence in my agent and my mover. And in my sobriety to get through it.
I’m grateful I’m not thinking about the huge Hall Pass I have to get all liquored up while in Cali alone in a hotel dealing with a move. Because I’m sure I would have deserved it after a big ordeal like this.
I’m grateful what I deserve is a clear, calm, headache free, mind and healthy body, with some extra pride in my step. And a big smile.
I’m grateful for surrendering and I struggle with acceptance. I’m grateful I actually think surrendering is fun. I’m grateful my readings, 3 of 5, were about acceptance this morning. 
I’m grateful there’s my God trying to get His message across to me again.
Acceptance means simply admitting there are things we cannot change.
Fuck. That’s all folks.
I’m grateful I interrupted my gratitude list for a crisis phone call from my sister. She just needed a family member to talk to. I’m it!
And I’m grateful the vet called and interrupted that call to give us Alice’s blood work.
I’m grateful my day is a bit upended presently. Already. But. I’m calm and sober and hangover free and I can reason it out and prioritize and get through my day with my rock of a wife.
I’m grateful for my great team. Me and her. We’re working it again. Together as one.
I’m grateful for ya.

I am grateful I started the last element, air, in the yoga teacher training. Not quite sure if I like the quality of air. It all is logical for me. I hated water, hip openers and now it’s chest and breast, opening the heart. All makes sense.
I am grateful that winter is over. I am grateful I have enough.
