I needed this. I was motivated to quit and …you know how it goes. I made an excuse or simply just said, “tomorrow” or “until this pack is gone” and what do you know…I’m still smoking.
Your share was truly God nudging me again to do what’s best for Alison. Not because my higher power is a tyrant but because Creator lives me (us) and desires the best for me. (Us)
I am grateful to be clean, alive and with hope.
Today I am grateful for Daily devotional from MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.
Today I am grateful for my best friend and his quiet calm nature. I learn a lot when I observe without speaking or judgment.
Today I am grateful fory new home I moved into this weekend and the mature and motivated women in it. And happy there are two dogs here to love and banter with.
Today I am grateful and honored to have completed my fourth in-person interview for a long-lived Ministry in Denver.
Today I am grateful for NAs Just For Today’s reading.
Today I am grateful for Jesus Always devotional, as well.
I am especially grateful for See A Victory & Surrounded worship song by Elevation Worship and Brandon Lake. This set my spirit, heart and mind in a powerful and motivated space yesterday before my interview and this morning on my drive back from dropping my bestie off at work.
Today, I am grateful to be back on here with you TS family and have made time to catch up on a few people, posts, memes and laughs.
I’m grateful to be alone. For the first time in over 3 weeks, there’s not a single soul here other than me. I need solitude to heal, and I’m grateful that I’m finally getting it. I’m grateful sounds aren’t so amplified today. I can hear the ice machine humming in my kitchen, and it’s just that… a quiet hum. For the past couple weeks, it sounded like my head was inside a bee hive. It was deafening and maddening. I’m grateful everything’s quieter today.
I’m grateful my son realized that I wasn’t well enough to keep his little one today. He offered to stay home with her so that I can rest. It made me feel loved, because I didn’t even ask. I’m grateful my husband found someplace else to be for the day. He walks somewhat heavily through the house, but lately the sound and vibrations of his footsteps have been shaking me to my core. I’m grateful he’s giving me a day of quiet.
I’m grateful for life. I’m grateful that I respect my life and the lives of others. I’m grateful for the automatic aspects of being alive that I don’t have to think about… my breathing, my heart pumping blood, certain reflexes, etc. The little things that keep me alive without conscious thought. I’m grateful for those.
I’m grateful for those in my life who understand and calmly put a name to things I’m feeling. It’s helpful for me to be able to label the experiences and the emotions. I deal with them better and can more easily let go of the harmful ones when they are named.
I’m grateful the move is over.
I’m grateful I CAN feel really really sad
And that’s ok.
I’m grateful I have no desire to drown these feelings of sadness. I’m so fucking blessed to have these feelings and so fucking blessed in so many other ways
I’m good. I’m good.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful to have such good examples for how to feel feelings, how to take care of ourselves the best we can…. How to live really. It makes me think of the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”- I think it applies to us too. I know I need a village to teach me how to live especially when life isn’t easy and there are lots of emotions. I’m proud of all of you guys who are facing challenges (including milestones, or celebrations because they can be tough for us too), and I’m grateful to be one of you.
Sweet and simple tonight, I’m grateful for you guys, my “village.”
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for 4 days off. I am looking forward to Saturday and making cheese. Goat or cow.
I am grateful I made it to the doctor this morning to give another urine sample. Hopefully it’ll be negative.
I am grateful I don’t feel stressed to hop on the bike. We have a temperature difference of 18 degree atm so it’s difficult to dress properly.
I am grateful I can offer Dora and Paula a balcony.
I am grateful I don’t panic lately. Or I can let go of it.
I am grateful I have enough.
Morning,
I’m grateful to be up early and had my peaceful dog walk, a nice way to start the day for sure.
I’m grateful to be healthy although I can definitely tell my body is getting older!
I’m grateful I didn’t drink yesterday or want to.
I’m grateful to be on this journey.
Have a great day x
I am so grateful and relieved that my urine sample was clean. No proteins. Thank god.
I am grateful for this wonderful ride I had today with much elevation for march. It was so good being alone without feeling the stress to perform.
I am grateful I skipped the meeting for me time. I need it. I am still not sure if it is the right one for me.
I am grateful for bikes. I am grateful I sold my car and much anxiety of the costs with it. Cycling gives me freedom. I love cycling. I really do.
I’m grateful my BIL just texted me and wants to talk to me about how I quit drinking.
I’m grateful I strolled over to my gate and we’re boarding in 4 minutes. I got here so early I haven’t really been paying attention.
I’m grateful I haven’t been madly looking around for an airport bar to knock back double Bloody Mary’s at 7:30 in the morning.
I’m grateful I got a little breakfast instead. And grateful the airport breakfast potatoes were hot!
I’m grateful this move is over with. It’s all in the real estate agents hands now.
I’m grateful my fireplace company has another remote to install for my fireplace. The movers packed it . I’m grateful my movers were very professional and courteous and apparently very thorough.
I’m grateful my agent has lots of peeps to fix up little stuff, stage, clean etc. all I got to do is write a check. I’m grateful I’m blessed where all I got to do is write the check.
I’m not as sad anymore about leaving Santa Monica but grateful for the 5 plus years living there and the rentals we found previous to the condo.
I’m grateful we’ll be back. It’ll be different but we’ll be back.
I’m grateful for last nights dinner I got to have with my daughter and SIL.
I’m grateful Alice ate her own pill pocket. This is HUGE! It would make my wife’s life so much easier.
I’m grateful I’ll have my smoothie buddy back
I’m grateful for the next adventure in my life and especially the fact I’ll be doing it sober.
I’m grateful y’all had my back during the move.
I’m grateful I could count on y’all being here.
I’m grateful to be going home.
Acknowledging all the good you already have in your life is the foundation of all abundance.

I’m grateful for this new pt work opportunity working for a friend’s company biz. Easy taking and scheduling service calls. One tech.
I’m grateful that I got through last night without crying or yelling at another person. Grateful I get to relax today on my bed and work remotely. My body is aching.
I’m grateful for my friends, my parents, my children, my sister’s and nieces and nephews. My cousin’s too.
I’m so grateful for this quiet home and all it offers me to get personal studies completed and rest too.
I’m grateful for the swiftness of internet and finding answers to questions I need to research.
I’m grateful for all of you on here sharing your life and struggles and victories with me. As I share mine.
I’m grateful for another day clean and sober and motivated for a better me.
I’m grateful for my treadmill. It was used in '08 when I picked it up, but it’s held up like a pro. Sometimes it helps just to zone out with some music and being able to “pound the pavement” in the privacy of my own air-conditioned home (where there is always a bathroom… yes… so grateful for modern bathrooms )
I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to live my life through future me’s eyes, willing me to appreciate every day with my sons and my wife.
I am grateful after 20 years to be able to buy my dream truck, appreciating the journey and what it took to get to this point.
I am grateful to be able to pick up my father and take him to dinner. He is close to 80 years old and I’m so thankful he still with us.
I am grateful to take my family to see my mom this weekend, she has been through a lot and struggles with her addiction in her own right, I have so much compassion for my mom and I’m thankful she’s here.
I am thankful to have a job that allows me to be creative and is never boring.
I am thankful for my wife who I could not do her job of stay at home mom while working from home part time. It is beyond me how she takes care of the bills and our sons and our affairs. She is the real MVP.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful it’s almost the weekend. I’m grateful that I’m tired tonight from a bad sleep last night, but I know I won’t make it worse by drinking. I’m grateful that I like my coworkers ( most of the time). I’m grateful I got a new book about rest, I’m interested in learning more. I’m grateful for sunshine, flowers and plants, and comfy PJ’s. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that when I am tired I am only tired. Not tired and hungover and trying to remember wtf did happen last night. Well, it was always the same. I stick to routines a lot.
I am grateful for laying in bed and having no hurry to get up yet.
It’s another sunny and mild spring day and I will be out.
I am grateful I can read. I am grateful I feel gratitude which replaces the feeling of not having enough and shoulds and haves. I have these feelings often in my work life and they cause me stress. Baby steps.
I am grateful I saw such an interesting program about the breath last night. I am grateful for breathing and that I learn so much about it consciously these days.
I am grateful that I feel tired in a sleepy way and have real hope that I will sleep a full night tonight.
I am also grateful that I can sing and play the piano at the same time. I got together with a friend that is more religious than I, and we spent a while singing religious songs together while I played.
I am not religious, but I love the beauty that exists in much religious music. I am not an atheist. I believe in a force that is greater than all of us, and yet that we are also part of. I do not believe in a “merciful God” nor do I believe in a “vengeful God”. These ideas are very ‘personal’ and all too “human”, which is only something I would ascribe to a lower case g “god” and not “God”. I think something more impersonal exists. I believe that there are laws of nature, and all things work as they do, in perfection, because of this.
Of course, some of these things I cannot prove and they remain, simply, a belief.
And yet, this force is something of monumental wonder and power. There is something in this is beautiful and full of what can only be described as love–not a personal love like romance or familial, but something very general; a great love of all life and all that is. This, I believe, is what is touched upon sometimes with religious music. Whether one wishes to call it “God”, or the “Universe”, or “Nature”, or whatever other name there might be. Singing together we create vibration that resonates with this perfection and it touches us to our core.
And as such, I am grateful that I had this opportunity to create music with someone else for a short while and touch something that can not be seen, only felt.
What am I grateful for today…?
Mmm
I’m grateful that I got up early and walked the dog in the sunshine. Its a nice peaceful start to the day.
I’m grateful that my mind isn’t consumed with drinking thoughts from when I wake up until I’ve bought it. Its so tiring and repetitive.
I’m grateful I will hopefully be able to get to do the garden this weekend as my plans have been cancelled due to covid.
I’m thankful that the clocks will go forwards and the evenings will be longer and I’ll be able to do more things after work.
I’m grateful I didn’t drink yesterday or want to
