Morning
I’m grateful to be home safe after a few days away. It’s nice to be back in my own home, my own bed. I slept well last night, I’m grateful for that, my sleep can often be unsettled.
Eric said drinking is like a merry go round, you’re right Eric, it is. But not so merry, right? Always wanting to get off, almost getting off and then when you’re about to step fully off, the darned this sets off and round you go again.
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to
I am grateful for…
•Having a job that makes me enough money to cover my bills.
•Having two living parents.
•Having a daughter to love, and who loves me.
•Having custody of my daughter, even after messing up here and there.
•Another clean/sober day.
•Having an amazingly awesome and helpful recovery coach.
•Having a kid with my daughter’s father. He is an amazing dad - horrendous boyfriend. But I couldn’t ask for my daughter to have a better dad.
•Having a mom that helps with my daughter when I go to work.
Today I am grateful for:
- 31 days free from all mind altering substances
- My family, including my TS family
- My passion for making dreamcatchers
- God and the relationship I am building with Him
- Essential oils
- Meditation
Good morning.
I am grateful for books and ideas. I am grateful for other people’s experience and stories. I am grateful for coffee and love, for excitement and wind. I am grateful for my eye sight and that I have such enhanced senses. Alot of my life I have found this to be a burden. I could hear through walls and smell things from other worlds it seemed.
I am learning that it’s a gift and goes hand in hand with the other highly sensitive aspects of myself. I am grateful for music and fellowship, I am grateful to be a part of.
I see you Twinsie, I am grateful for you. Oh, and the moon, I am grateful for her too.
I’m grateful that I’m not waking up this morning trembling, paranoid, and sick And dragging myself to the liquor store to be the first one there and the last before they close
I’m grateful that this morning I don’t have to go through my text, or walk around my house and see if anything is missing, or wonder who is here. Or do I have to hide out? Or did I do anything dumb? Am I going to the hospital or am I going to jail?
I’m grateful that I know exactly what I did yesterday, and I have the energy to do what I want to do today.
My grateful for
- My sobriety
- The roof over my head
- Food
- Friends and support
- Music
- My freedom
Grateful to see my sober twin first thing on here. Good morning doll face
I’m grateful I didn’t drink yesterday, I’m not drinking today, and I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful I had Alice and Benson in my lap this morning. I’m grateful it’s just Alice now, purring and tamping. I’m grateful for all the time she is giving to her daddy.
I’m grateful I got my Pilates work out rescheduled yesterday.
I’m grateful Kelly learned how to give Subcutaneous IV fluids to a cat. I’m grateful I’ll be around to help her with it Saturday. And I won’t be gone long and can help her when I get back.
I’m grateful for the many examples, all you sober Warriors, have shown me going through this declining stage of life with an old pet. I’m grateful I know I can and will get through this sober too. I’m grateful we feel our feelings. It’s ok. I’m grateful to learn It’s so detrimental to our health to numb our feelings, and to realize they don’t actually go away. They fester. Numbing them will cause resentments, and anger and more stress. I’m grateful to be free from that. I’m grateful I’m learning to calmly deal with my feelings in a healthy way.
I’m grateful to be reading feelings are energy. And repressed feelings block our energy. We don’t do our best when we are blocked. And again. Repressed feelings do not go away.
Thank you Codependent No More
I’m grateful for the sunshine I see this morning out my nice clean windows out back. I’m grateful for a good nights sleep. I’m grateful we don’t really have anything on the schedule today. Except for lunch out and probably Instacart.
I’m grateful for all my blessing and TS and Gratidudes and my wife and kids and pets young and old. I’m grateful for my health. My eyes and ears and legs. And I’m grateful for my memories. I still got them. Just don’t ask me what I had for lunch yesterday . Not those memories. The other ones.
Oh ya,……I’m grateful I can use this thread as my own personal daily journal or whatever. Thank you I’m grateful I can come here and write how I feel and put what’s going on in my life. I’m grateful I feel this is my personal thread and that y’all are here on this journey with me. I’m grateful I still look forward to this bit of my day every morning. I’m grateful I really think it’s key to my sobriety.
Thank you again.
Gratitude
Just feel it!
Grateful in being vulnerable and daring greatly.
Today I’m grateful that I take my time to look and search for specific things for our home. Grateful I’m confident in my ideas how it should work out when finished so there is no stress.
Grateful for my husband & a friend who worked together today really good. Grateful they like my cooking. I’m happy when people like what I throw together as meal. Grateful I like to cook at the moment despite there’s lot of work. I’m also grateful that it’s fine when I say I won’t, let’s have a take out. Greatful for Bigfoot letting me groom him today. Such a special time together for me and my big cat. Grateful I feel good today.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for what I learned today.
I am happy that the company where I applied called me again. They seem to be interested. Makes me suspicious and hopeful.
I am grateful it’s the weekend soon.
I am grateful I went to the meeting today even that I have feelings of inadequacy now. I’ll see. We are so few, three today that I feel obliged to talk. I don’t like that feeling.
I am grateful for a warm shower, a warm bed, electricity, for access to a good health care system.
I’m grateful my barber is back from his 2.5 month vacation so that I could get my hair cut and no longer look homeless.
Grateful that the long storm we’ve had has finally moved on and I’ll be able to see the stars tonight.
And grateful that tonight I won’t be blowing a bunch of money on getting wasted in the name of some “holiday” that doesn’t actually have much meaning to me personally, but instead will enjoy a nice walk to look at the sky–just my walkman and me.
I am grateful for this site/app/community as it helps me to write a better english
It’s frustrating sometimes to not be able to express truly what you mean because of your own language limitations.
Oh that must be frustrating. I admire you! You are doing a fabulous job. Thanks for sharing
I’m grateful for my new kitten and the unbearable cuteness of the relationship she has already made with my Jack Russell.
I’m grateful for less anxiety which was obviously amplified by my continual use of alcohol.
I’m grateful to be sitting on the couch snuggling my two fur babies and feeling relaxed in my own skin.
I’m grateful for my daughter getting her first job and gaining more confidence
I’m grateful that I will have no problem picking her up when she is done her late shift because I will be sober and I will be able to drive.
I’m grateful for all the friends I’ve made here, for the continued support, encouragement, knowledge and sharing.
Thank you♥️
I know it is my friend. Bless your heart.
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today and helping me stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for recovery, including mine with all its challenges and blessings. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful my cousin got married today. I’m grateful that my sadness of not being there will pass. I’m grateful I got sent a wedding picture and my cousin Janet and her new hubby look very happy. I’m grateful that my sadness with not getting to meet @M-be-free49 who at one point was going to be my sober wedding date today will pass as well. I’m grateful for the walk home I just had after work with music and a full moon or real close to full(beautiful). I’m grateful that all the people out and about walking, driving, partying for the holiday did not give me even an ounce of FOMO I lived that life for a very long time, I’m grateful to say I’m over it. I’m grateful that it was payday and I don’t blow my cheques anymore. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they teach. I’m grateful for humor and laughter.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good. Ya you!!
Grateful for mindfulness and oneness with life, fellowship and kindness.

Grateful to take part in another 24, night all
Grateful for a coming retreat
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for the rest I’ve gotten being off work most of this week. I’m grateful I have a job. I’m grateful for yesterday- going up into the mountains and hiking/ playing around with my husband and kids. I love the cooler temperatures and pine trees. I’m grateful to have a place like that fairly close by. I’m grateful for podcasts and music. I’m grateful for exercise and that my body lets me do mostly what I want. I’m grateful my family has enough food and water, a safe loving home, and each other.
Everyone have a wonderful day
I was medically retired from the military on honorable terms with 100% disability in 2018. I was beyond pissed that because I got hurt doing my job they were going to cast me out. I am ashamed to say this but most of my military belongings went in the garbage when i first separated. But 7 months clean today I’m beyond grateful it happened the way it did. I was hit by an IED while in a vehicle. Broke 13 bones. Was a little messy. I regained my ability to deploy but the mental and alcohol had its hooks in me. So while I was blind with alcohol the military noticed it and rushed me out before I did something stupid and got a dishonorable and lose my pension. It was rushed and unexplained but I am now seeing they were doing it to protect me and to make sure I didn’t completely soil a pretty decent career. So after 4 years I think I can say I no longer hold a resentment towards my command.
I’m grateful for another sober great nights sleep and hangover free morning.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful I had Benson and Alice on my lap.
I’m grateful I just have Alice purring away on me now.
I’m grateful Daisy has adjusted her schedule so I get her I’m bed before sleep and first thing in the morning. And grateful for my evening tv watching buddy Maverick.
I’m grateful we got house cleaners this morning and it’s a short day for them here.
I’m grateful the weather is nice.
I’m grateful for multitasking: I meditated yesterday afternoon while instacart was shopping for my groceries. I’m grateful for the big smile she gave me when I gave her the extra tip.
I’m grateful it didn’t bother me that I didn’t get my afternoon walk in. I’m grateful I got some other extra things done around here and prepped for my trip Sunday.
I’m grateful for all the different threads on here that help keep me sober.
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful for Minnie’s health.
I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful I can sympathize with her and I understand how much she is doing for Alice these days trying to get all the meds down her 2 or 3 times a day. And getting bitten in the process. I can see it wearing on her. And Alice just doesn’t want to cooperate anymore and I don’t blame her. I’m grateful getting the antibiotics down Alice is one of the easier meds.
I’m grateful Alice is eating.
I’m grateful we can both be scared together.
I’m grateful I can feel it all sober.
I’m grateful I’m proud of myself for that, for being able to feel it sober.
