Congratulations on your 7 months of clean freedom Chris.
I’m grateful for your service.
God Bless
Grateful that today it’s officially 1 month! Off to the dentist now. My gums don’t bother anymore! I celebrated with some proper icy lemonade. My go-to drink for celebrations now.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful the annual meeting with my boss is done. We talked openly and I made him clear that my time in this company is counted sooner or later. Preferentially sooner.
I am grateful I got some new sneakers. I am grateful for a calm Friday and a calm weekend ahead.
I am grateful heating season is over.
I am grateful I come along with most people at work.
Beautiful.
Isn’t it incredible how while we are in the cycle of self pity, poisoning ourselves in active addiction we are so blind. I was also and it was so much easier to blame other people for causing my pain instead of just accepting it and letting it go. It is a process for me but I am getting there. I am grateful for your share.
Good day.
I am grateful for team work and unity.
I am grateful for humility and the ease of accepting others ideas.
I am grateful for a conscious that doesn’t allow me to stray far from my values anymore.
I am grateful for boundaries and the strength to stay true to them.
I am grateful that I do not feel like if I don’t act on something this very second it will be gone forever. That’s how I have always felt and this thought pattern has caused a lot of wreckage in my life and the lives of others.
I am grateful for the ability to express myself without any guilt or shame attached.
I am grateful that I know that my whole story has a lot of value. I know that even though I have done some very shady shit, the fact I have learned invaluable lessons through it all makes it “ok”.
I am grateful that I am not willing to repeat old mistakes.
I am grateful I am done suffering.
Thank you for that! It is a great feeling and it was embarrassing for me even more at first. They were protecting me like the brothers and sisters I thought they were, but i said some horrible things to them when they were forcing me out. I wanted to do my 20 and see what was going to happen, not halfway and then on my way. But I have already been in the process of contacting these people and explaining everything and expressing my gratitude for having my back even when I didn’t have my own.
Today I’m grateful I finished making ointment. Grateful the kitchen isn’t crowded with pots and pans anymore. Grateful for dishwashers and my cats watching me cleaning the kitchen.
Grateful for leftovers, my cozy bed and that tomorrow is another day to be grateful
Hi,
Today I’m grateful that I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful that I have enough work so I can help out my kids as they finish uni.
I’m grateful for a gorgeous spring day today in the uk, it makes a difference to my mood.
I’m grateful for another great night’s sleep, this also makes a difference to my mood.
Thanks to everyone here as usual
I’m grateful that by ditching caffeine I’ve been able to sleep through more of Zelda’s early morning meowing. Wake up at 3am, make the cat food + meds, go back to sleep, wake up when she comes in crying, open office blinds, go back to sleep, wake up for whatever other reasons she is upset, give her loves, go back to sleep. Lots of going back to sleep rather than being awake forever.
Even though I am not sleeping perfectly, my mood is down, and I have constant headaches and body aches, I’m grateful that going cold turkey off 300mg/day is not nearly as bad as trying to go cold turkey off 1600mg+/day.
I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for recovery. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful to be home safely lying in bed. I’m grateful I got my laundry going. I’m grateful for receiving an e-mail today with an official move in date and time to my new apartment. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful that I haven’t gambled on anything for 24 days, this is hard, I realized I started gambling around 11 years old, which is years before I started drinking, smoking and drugging, which I started around 16. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for prayers, meditation and daily readings. I’m grateful for the threads I use here, gratitude, sports, meditation, sober selfies to name the main ones. I’m grateful for good chats with my sister recently.
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are a star, shine bright. Ya you!!
I’m so grateful I was able to see the International Space Station tonight! I didn’t intentionally set the time to go out for it, but rather I caught it by pure luck as I looked up into the sky when bringing in some groceries, and was momentarily confused by this bright dot where there should be no bright dot, and then I noticed it was moving.
Something like this is such a delightful surprise, and a surpise that is definitely less likely to happen if I’m laying around inside getting high or drinking. It is like a cosmic reward from the Unknown, from God, or the Universe, or whatever you want to label this force.
I believe that we are told that we’re on the right track through different ways, one of which being synchronicity. Somehow things just happen at the right time and it seems like it’s just luck, but I’m not so sure.
Congratulations on getting your official move in date email Brian.
When’s the house warming party?

I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
Always grateful for waking up hangover free.
Grateful for my health.
Grateful my back doesn’t hurt.
Grateful for sunshine and warmer temps.
Grateful for listening to my body and not
doing my 3 1/2 mile walk. It hurts when I get 40-45 minutes in. But my mind says you “should,” be able to walk your 3 1/2 mile trail. Do it anyway! It’s not that much. You love doing it! #fuckshoulds If it hurts don’t do it! That goes for walking too. I’m grateful I’ve been doing my 25-30 minute power walk loop and I’m grateful it doesn’t hurt . I’m grateful I can feel sad about it. I’m grateful maybe I can try the 3 1/2 mile trail walk again sometime. And if it hurts don’t continue do it.
I’m grateful I’m getting old but sometimes it sucks.
I’m grateful I’m getting old sober. That never sucks.
I’m grateful for my sober trip coming up tomorrow.
I’m sad to leave my wife at home with the bazillion pets chores especially Alice. But grateful I have confidence she can and will handle it like a the trooper she is. After all, this is the A Team
I’m grateful for TS and all the gratidudes
I will keep always in mind that today is my sole concern, and I will make it as good a day as I can.

Be the light today
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for a nice day today. No stress. Although I felt angry on my way to my friend this morning. We had a really strong north wind and I really hate wind from the front. Feels like in a hamster wheel.
I am grateful my yoga challenge is finished tomorrow, I think. I learned a lot already about myself and am curious about the following steps. The teacher training itself.
I am grateful for warm showers.
I am determined not going to the grocery store and by coffee.
