I’m grateful for the few days of intensely good sleep I got before the insomnia kicked in from stopping caffeine and in the process of taking myself off some medications. I haven’t been sleeping well, and when I do sleep, it’s too light.
I’m also grateful I have finally decided to seriously take this step.
I’m grateful for the nutritional education I have and have decided that I will begin the process of moving toward a SIBO friendly diet. Being on this diet will be a temporary measure along with frequency healing to see if I can get some of my horrible GI issues under control.
Today I’m grateful I took the time to catch up here on this thread. Grateful for @JasonFisher 's posts, they echoed something deep down hidden in me and I’m curious what will emerge from inside me. Could take some time.
I’m grateful to be alone at home. The past days with my husband and his drinking, his annoying behaviour and my howling fury because of it and all the things missing in this relationship made me sad, tired, feeling burned-out and hopeless. The whole situation is so exhausting that I just want to quit and leave. I will be working on this issue with my new therapist whom I hope to get in first contact tomorrow. Grateful I seek help. Grateful I can come here to focus on beneficial themes and distract me from the heavy emotions I feel. There’s a lot going on on my side of the family these days and I’m being very needed to support them.
Edit: What a horrible English. Correct phrasing from native speakers are VERY welcome to learn. Please PM me
I’m grateful “I’m capable of an immediate shit”.
I’m grateful I looked at my phone saw the time and thought I got 7 minutes. Who doesn’t have 7 minutes? I’m grateful I took the 7 minutes and listened to Richard Burr again and the tears started flowing again. I’m such a fucking cry baby. I guess the release of stress was pretty fucking necessary and welcomed. I’m grateful I’m not fighting a hangover. I’m grateful last night when I went out all by myself to dinner in a different state, not having to drive and I thought “who would know?” Fuck off!!
I’m grateful it wasn’t an urge.
I’m grateful I realized it was just a fleeting thought.
I grateful I had other thoughts.
I’m grateful I’m taking time to myself this morning instead of getting right to the condo to do what? I don’t HAVE to do anything. I’m grateful I can afford a full service packing and storage move and my biggest problem is going to be getting out of the way. Let go! Let Movers! And dropping off the cable boxes . I’m grateful I found a Spectrum Store on 3rd and Santa Monica. I hope they take returns.
I’m grateful for coffee.
I’m grateful to be sitting on a deck watching life go by and the ocean and dogs and traffic. I’m grateful I got it pretty fucking good.
I’m grateful for the pet pics my wife sends me. Especially of Alice looking for me for smoothie time at 11. I’m grateful Alice is eating. I’m grateful we’re going to back Alice off some of her meds. And she no longer has a UTI. I’m grateful that will make my wife’s life a little easier.
I’m grateful I got to wrap this up. Shits about to get real with this move. I’m grateful everything is gonna be good. I’m grateful I’m capable of an immediate shit anytime I want to.
I’m grateful for you all and this thread of G-Dudes
I’m grateful the sun just poked through. The only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is your attitude.”
I’m grateful for my adventure today

I am grateful I went to the course last night. In recovering environments I get encouraged to express my feelings, when I say that I cannot concentrate anymore and get irritable and impatient.

I’m grateful for TS and this whole community, it helps so much.
Have a great day x
I’m grateful for my tenancy toward outward calm–at this stage in the game not because I’m holding in my anger or because I am passive aggressive, but because I’ve worked through my shit and I’ve lived through shit so that the tiny things that are getting to me right now due to lack of sleep really aren’t that bad.
Also grateful for emergency rage cookies. I hate eating my feelings, but I make an exception for times like this.
I’m grateful that each day gets me closer to actually sleeping. I need sleep so much… I’d give my first born… I don’t have any kids… Okay well, I’d give someone’s first born for sleep.
@erntedank everything was phrased just fine. If only my Japanese and/or Russian was as good as your English.
Today I’m grateful @Chiron and @PinkyP made my day with the first two posts I read here and it’s not even 9 am! Thank you for your nice feedback @Chiron and I hook up with @PinkyP: Snorring is horror
Will catch up with the rest of the thread in the evening.
I’m grateful boring chores are done for today, it feels good to check them off the list. Grateful for my balkonies. One starts to fill up with seedlings as it’s warm enough to put them outside.
Grateful for future food as I call the seedlings.
Grateful for my funny cats who make me laugh every day.
Grateful my husband didn’t drink yesterday, he is lovely and caring today which is due to not drinking and being rested. I appreciate it
I’m grateful I had a good conversation with one of my nieces yesterday, they have such a hard time and I try to be there for all of them.

Today I am thankful that I had a good night’s rest. sober, clean, and learning to quiet the mind.
Today I am grateful for working my steps through the “Narcotics Anonymous step work guide”, last night reviewing what was written with the recovery partner who helps me work my steps, I learned a lot and new tools and perspectives by living a day at a time
Today I am grateful to remember that as an addict I not only have an obsession and compulsion to consume substances but also to consume emotions.
Today I am grateful to have friends who help me in my process and are compassionate and help me to be compassionate with myself.
Today I am grateful for my motivations and daily goals in favor of improving my self-esteem and coexistence with myself.
Today I am grateful that I love my higher power so much of his love and how much it fills my heart when illness catches me mentally and spiritually.
Today I am grateful to be alive and breathe easy when I open my heart through this list of gratitude.

Today I am grateful for NA’s “just for today” reflection
Today I am grateful for the love of my family, for their health and mine, for getting up and sending them a good morning message and even though they are far away, I feel them closer to me than ever, for the call I just received from dad.
Today I am grateful and my heart is moved to listen, enjoy, contemplate, reflect and feel in gratitude as I start my day listening to “God is - Kanye West”
just for today I am grateful for my effort to stay clean and not use.
Im grateful to not be drunk from the night before debating coffee or beer. The choice is clear… Coffee!
Im grateful to be on day number two cigarette free. Yesterday was hard. I almost bought a pack four or five times. I had my camera gear all prepped and packed for an epic sunset, but I wasn’t confidant that I wouldn’t grab a pack of smokes, so I stayed home, and slept. Surprisingly good. I’m grateful.
I missed an epic sunset. That OK. There will be more. No wind this morning. I’m going to catch the sunrise this morning in one of my favorite places.
Morning coffee is weird without a cigg. Everything is going to be weird for a while. I’ve procrastinated quitting long enough. I’m determined. I’m grateful to feel 100% committed. Day one is the hardest. Its easy to cave and start quitting tomorrow when your on day 1. The next thing you know its 12 years later…I quit for fourteen years and smoked a cigarette intending to quit the next day in 2008. im grateful to be on day 2!
I’m grateful for being ready to let it go this morning.
I’m grateful to have over ten dollars a day added to my camera addiction fund.
Speaking of camera addictions my submarine drone is coming today. Im excited and grateful!
Im grateful to be on my 2nd cup of cigarette free coffee this morning.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I admitted myself to take a day off tomorrow and the day after. I really like the feeling. It’s not the same as weekend.
I am grateful for the sunny days we get.
I am grateful for a calm and productive day at work.
I am grateful Dora and Paula leave me alone during most of the nights without chasing each other running over me. They still come to lay on or next to me which is okay. I cannot blame them for my insomnia anymore.
I am grateful I got the two of them.
I’m grateful I’m not hungover to hell after the move yesterday.
I’m grateful after the move I put my feet up at the hotel lounge, had a double LaCroix Pamplemousse “neat” over looking the ocean and came on here and got caught up on the meme thread. And others.
That was a nice reward for a stressful day. And I’m so grateful I did that.
I’m grateful the hardest part of my move is done.
I’m always amazed and so grateful God puts the right people in the right place at the right time for me.
I’m grateful I’ll see my daughter for dinner tonight.
I’m grateful I’ll be going back home tomorrow.
I’m grateful I’m very sad about leaving Santa Monica for good. I really really love this place. But it’s just not meant to be. I’m grateful I’ll have great memories of healing to go with the past memories of the horror of addiction and mental illness that came with this place. I’m grateful I’m going to mostly remember the happy times and the healing and the wedding and the great food. And my success in recovery because they make the best cocktails here and I don’t need to have one. Or even want one.
I’m grateful for all the angry, hip hop Gangsta rapping power walks I did twice a day, in my very early recovery, walking past my favorite bars mumbling fuck fuck fuck why can’t I drink like a normie? And I’m grateful I’ll always remember how the caring loving thoughtful people at TS talked me out of drinking for my 60th bday After only having 20 days sober in Santa Monica. Grateful for that big turning point in my life.
I’m grateful to reminisce on here.
I’m grateful for TS. It works IF YOU USE IT!! Before you pick up. A willingness to let go is life’s most mature virtue. Let go. Let go. Let go.

I Don’t know who to credit these quotes from the last couple of days. But you know it’s not me right
Like memes I just steal them
I am grateful to be able to feel my feelings.
I am grateful for the beauty that surrounds me and the energy it provides.
I am grateful for the outpouring of love I feel from the people around me, it is a constant flow.
I have this visual of all the love around me and I breathe it in, then it expands my heart and courses through my veins filling me with the energy I need to love back 10 fold. That is my higherpower. She is all around me and she is love. I am grateful.
Oh my goodness… This is powerful and I laughed a bit. Brought to memory a movie (can’t recall the name) where this thin white fella is loudly listening and rapping along to some Gangster rap until he pulls up to a traffic light and turns down the music and pulls out of his alter-ego and returns to his nerdy yet motivated self. (Not indicating you’re a nerd, although I use Nerd as a term of endearment bc I love love smart ppl)
I got 7 minutes. Who doesn’t have 7 minutes? I’m grateful I took the 7 minutes and listened to Richard Burr again and the tears started flowing again. I’m such a fucking cry baby. I guess the release of stress was pretty fucking necessary and welcomed. I’m grateful I’m not fighting a hangover.
