[Chikai]

Honestly, I need to make another gratitude list. Work has been difficult and I need to refocus on the positive.

I am grateful for…

•My healthy body that is able to move pain free.
•My beauty. I know, seems self absorbed. But I do not mean it in that way. There are many people who do not fit societies beauty standards, and the fact that I do is something I should appreciate.
•That I never lost custody of my daughter, even though I definitely could have.
•That my doctors finally realized I have ADHD and now I can get proper treatment and my quality of life will go up tremendously.
•That I found the All Recovery meeting which is not a 12 step or focused on a higher power and I love that.
•That the guy I saw outside work was impacted by something nice I did for him over a year ago that even I didn’t recall. We had such a nice conversation about things we were grateful for.
•That I didn’t ask for his number even though he was one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen… I am trying to remain celibate and single through the first year of my recovery…

Thank for the mention @I.cant.We.can .
I’m grateful for a nice Sunday. Nice and cloudy out, breezy and cool. Got to hike with my husband this morning, and the whole family pitched in to get the housework done. I’m grateful that I have a job. I’m grateful to be able to admit that I don’t really like that job, and I need to do something to change the dynamic. Don’t know what, but I trust that God/ the universe will help me figure it out. I’m grateful that I can trust my feelings and know that I’m not being mislead by alcohol. I’m grateful to have TS and you guys. Very grateful that I can come here whenever I need too. Congrats to everyone on milestones, and everyone who isn’t at a milestone but still made another ODAAT.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Grateful that the snow mother nature sent our way for the first day of spring (and yes, today was the first day of spring because the sun moved into Aries around 11:30am eastern time today and that marks the first day of spring, not the calendar day) melted and the clouds moved out by evening.

@Pica great job on your 90 days!
@Bootz what a beautiful area you live in!

[Nowenbrace]

Hi All, Grateful for a restful day after poor sleep last night.
For getting a small walk in tonight.
For Hunny’s excellent dinner tonight, puried squash soup w roasted almonds, Yum
For limiting my coffee today and choosing turmeric, Cinnamon, cardomin and Ginger chai Tea ( natural feels good)
Hopeful for a pleasant week and staying sober ODAAT
NIGHT All 🧘‍♂:heart:

[Jmillwill]

I’m grateful that I was able to face my demons before it got really bad. I’m also grateful we live in a fairly peaceful place. I was speaking to a friend in Ukraine this morning (we hosted his oldest as a foreign exchange student a few years ago). I could not even imagine what they are going through. I’m grateful we got 3 kids out of there.

[Its_me_Stella]

I am grateful that I had an easy morning yesterday before an afternoon and evening packed full of recovery.
I am grateful to see big progress from my stepwork this time.
I am grateful for the courage I found to be open and honest with my womans group about how uncomfortable the weekly potlucks were making me.
I am grateful I was met with love, understanding and compassion.
I am grateful that the one woman who has been hosting them was able to share the obsessive, intrusive thoughts she had all day about how terrible and insesitive she had felt and that she didn’t let those eat her up anymore.
I am grateful that I did not take those feelings on myself and feel guilty for my truth.
I am so grateful that she and I love each other so much and we tell each other all the time.
I am grateful for late night texts.
I am grateful that I get to have coffee with one woman who is coming back today and asked me to sponsor her and another who is a newcomer. These addicts keep me alive.
I am grateful its Monday and I get to go to yoga.
I am grateful that no matter how busy I become there are things in my life I can count on. TS is one of those and that creates a comfort in me that I can not explain.

[Sunflower1]

Good morning all,
I’m grateful to have seen the sunrise on my commute to work. I’m grateful to have a job. I’m grateful that I had a great weekend. I’m grateful for the food I prepped yesterday to get me through today and tomorrow at work. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for the saying “What other people think of you is none of your business .” I’m grateful I can come here if I start getting stressed at work today.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Thank Brian.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for the experience I am making with this company. They call when they say they will. I have a first interview on Monday scheduled.
I am grateful I am I rather good health.
I am grateful I realized I needed help before it was too late. I might not be as resilient as others but I notice when enough is enough. I see it with my friend. It always worked until it doesn’t. Until your body screams stop it! You won’t get it when I whisper so I will scream it into your face. And still… Realization can be far away.
I am grateful for the weather we have. Sorry, agriculture. But as I cannot change it, I am happy for the warm spring weather.
I am grateful I still have Dora and Paula.
I am grateful I take the rest day today although I feel a bit restless.

I’m grateful to Richard Burr for my sobriety and gratitude practice and for his guided meditations.
Especially the 7 minute one I just did. “I’m Capable Of An Immediate Shit.”
“Just in this exact moment.”
My mind’s been racing because I have to get everything done right now all at once!! I almost went over to the condo late last night to start packing. I’m grateful I didn’t.

I’m grateful I’m taking time for me. It’s not even 8 am yet. I’m grateful I did that 7 min meditation before my gratitude list. I’m so much calmer.
I’m grateful I’ll eventually get done what I need to get done today. And take care of myself in the process. And do the next right thing, to keep me sober. If I don’t get it all done right now. I get it all done when I get it all done.
I’m grateful to have a hotel at the beach and a deck for my gratitude and devotionals and the sun is just touching my legs keeping them warm. I’m grateful I imagine all of us Gratidudes here kind of on a gratitude mission trip. I’m grateful I know I’m not alone.
I’m grateful Kelly sent pics this morning of Benson and Minnie and Daisy. And from looking at the pics I knew exactly where she was in the morning pet chore process.
I’m grateful she had to ask me about the morning feeding she never has to do. It makes me feel better because I don’t even know which machine is the washer or dryer unless I open one of them
I’m grateful I miss the shit of of them.

I’m grateful God got me here sober safe and sound.
I’m grateful I’m not doing the Hangover From Hell this morning.
I’m grateful for my view of the ocean from my hotel room especially my side deck.
I’m grateful for my view out front @Lisa07 I can see the ocean behind the public toilets I’m glad they aren’t too busy around them
I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful I’m still feeling the tears of relaxation and gratitude I felt from that one little 7 minute guided meditation I did before I started my list. Dang emotional feelings of relief.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
Calm and steady

I will keep surrendering reservations as they crop up and use the tools of recovery to stay clean despite life’s challenges.
NA.org A Spiritual Principal A Day. Thanks Twinnie.

@Dazercat

I’m Capable Of An Immediate Shit.”

I’m grateful for this and I hope you’re on the toilet.

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful I DO NOT do my gratitude list on the toilet silly

[JasonFisher]

I’m grateful to be clean and sober.

It’s rainy today. It’s keeping me from working on my boat. I woke up feeling ambitious. Mother nature changed my plans.

Instead of feeling frustrated, I’m rolling with it. I’ve been prepping all my action cameras for a time-lapse extravaganza Idea I’ve had for a while. The rain is going to stop this evening and all the signs are pointing for an epic sunset and a almost full moon.

I’m grateful to be so in tuned with the weather and moon.

I’ve been listening to YouTube in the background. About the fentanyl crisis and how hard it is to buy any drugs off the street that don’t have fentanyl in it now.

We recently had a fentanyl overdose in my small town.

Drug cartels press it into exact replicas of prescription drugs. Oxys were my go to drug to get through crab season. I bought them off the street. I’m lucky and grateful I don’t do that anymore.

Also watching/listening to how bad it is in the homeless communities in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver BC. The interviews with all the damaged and broken people. I’ve been damaged and broken in similar ways. I somehow managed to land on my feet. Clean and sober. I am grateful.

I’ve been homeless. I’m grateful for a warm dry place to sleep. And I’m grateful for the luxury items that I have. Mostly my cameras. Its the addiction that I love and has been good for me.

I have luxury problems today. Things I sometimes give my serenity away for, but they are trivial in comparison to problems I use to have.

My YouTube channel keeps growing. Slow and steady. Just like me. I’m grateful!

I’ve been filming boats launch when I’m down at the dock. It has attracted some paid photography/filming work. I am grateful for a dream becoming reality. I am grateful!

Today I’m grateful to feel humble without humiliation. That’s the only way I felt it before. I had to humiliate myself to get humbled. It didn’t last long. Just long enough for me to get loaded again. I’m grateful for recovery!

I’m grateful to see all these milestones! Congrats!

If you haven’t used today, congrats! I’m grateful I’m not using today.

How many times this year did i try to cut back and make excuses

How many times in my life have i thought “i never want to be sober again”

How many really great points have i made to myself as i tried to convince myself to stop, my loved ones, my failures, the absolute risk.

And in the end it literally has been this app and its feedback, the place for me to complain instead of burdening my family and friends. Its easier to admit this to strangers. But this app kept me sober for longer than i thought was possible and even 2 weeks has brought back some horrible clarity that i needed and also hope. So fuck.

Very, very grateful for this App.

[I.cant.We.can]

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 that they hired more people at work, it makes my job much easier and more enjoyable. I’m grateful for a full fridge and cupboards, this was extremly rare for me, unless it was beer the fridge and cupboards were always bare. I’m grateful for music, laughter and creativity. I’m grateful for my routine of daily readings, prayers, meditation and gratitude. I’m grateful I got to attend a meeting last night as I hadn’t been to one in weeks, I didn’t even share as it was full and we ran out of time, I did my service as treasurer and stayed to lock up and got to share and listen more that way, the meeting after the meeting is something I’m always grateful for. I’m grateful that people were genuinely happy to see me, as I was them. I’m grateful to read all of your gratitude. I’m grateful that I finally deleted my pokerstars account today on Day 27 of not gambling on anything.

God bless you all. &

P.s. You are a star shine bright. Ya you!!

P.p.s. I’m grateful I reached 26 months clean on the 17th without any drugs, and didnt even really take notice until now looking up my timer for gambling, this still blows my mind at times, I have mentioned I was a fiend full blown junkie, carpet crawling skeleton, or whatever you want to call it. Grateful I am not that person anymore.

[Dazercat]

26 Fucken Months!!!

Morning,
Today I’m grateful not drinking yesterday or wanting to.
I’m grateful that I joined an online SMART meeting and re remembered a couple of tools. Can’t have too many right?
I’m grateful that I’ve decided to take the dog this morning, its beautiful outside already. Much better than sitting on my phone until it’s time for work.
Have a great day x

[mrm0808]

Something small but also huge I’m grateful for is not having anymore hangovers. I really don’t think I recognize enough how much better my body feels. So yeah that’s cool!
