Grateful for fellowship. I have an entire sober community of people I spend time with and it’s pretty great
I’m grateful for understanding and supportive friends. I’m going to a “paint and sip” class later with a friend who drinks. But we’re just going to be enjoying sparkling water
I’m grateful for Pica and Moby 🐈⬛
I’m grateful for all the support I received yesterday thank you!
And I’m grateful for 97 sober days feeling good today!
I’m grateful to be able to feel empathy. Although it can be a bittersweet gift, it’s just that… a gift. I’m grateful for the people and experiences that got me to where I am today.
I’m grateful for my sobriety, grateful that I don’t take it for granted. I’m grateful for all the little steps I take each day that keep me on this path.
I’m grateful for apples. It’s so interesting that honey crisp apples have been a huge help to me since getting sober. I notice myself often craving crunchy fruits and veggies, and after munching on them, especially a crisp, chilled apple, I feel so much better. So being me, I asked the question to Google and found a lot of info on crunchy foods helping with anxiety! Eating these relieves tension in the jaw and neck, areas where we hold stress. I’m thankful for the answers at my fingertips.
Morning,
Today I’m grateful to be content. I don’t need anything, I don’t strive to be a certain way. I’m happy with my lifestyle. My kids are happy and making their way in life.
I’m grateful to be just who I am where I am in life.
Have a great day x
Grateful i did some things and not nothing
Grateful to know the first 90 days are going to happen
That i have people i can text and call sometimes
The insight from people long term sober that make me believe it is possible for me as long as i want it
That i do want it!!
I’m grateful to have an appointment with a specialist this morning to try to figure out what’s going on in my body. I’m grateful for healthcare and hopeful for a day when it’s equally available to all.
I’m grateful to have started a new DIY project here at home. Doing the work ourselves to improve our house is fulfilling for me, and I’m thankful for a husband who’s willing and capable to help when I have these whims.
I’m grateful for my small library. It’s a wonderful feeling to have so many books at my fingertips.
I’m grateful for diversity and free will. Thankful to know when someone takes their free will too far that I can quietly step away. It’s freeing.
I’m grateful for love and kindness, joy and compassion, for knowing and having known these things in my life.
I’m grateful I’m still sober.
I’m grateful I still don’t drink.
I’m grateful I don’t want to drink.
I’m grateful for a quote I found and wrote it on the checkin thread last night. I’m one drink away from not being sober the rest of my life. Today, I feel that is a fact.
I’m grateful for the cat in a snow globe kicking up cat litter meme, and that I shared it with my daughter. I jokingly wrote “I want one of theses ”
Well, I opened a box yesterday and I got one very very similar. A fun surprise in the mail from my daughter. I’m grateful I got the best daughter in the world. 🥲
I’m grateful I called my son yesterday. Knucklehead’s voice mail is full of course but I wrote him a text. Told him I missed him. He actually got the message and called me 20 minutes later and we had the best talk. 🥲
I’m grateful I feel so fucking sad and lonely. And my Codependent No More book was all about meetings And I’m grateful I actually googled Al-Anon meetings in my area. I’m grateful I know and can honestly say I’m scared to go. I’m grateful I also know “if nothing changes, nothing changes.” I’m grateful I know I blew it yesterday after my gratitude list and my quote about thinking of the other persons faults. I’m grateful I dreaded going out to brunch knowing the wine drinking for the day would begin. I’m grateful I just couldn’t stop my stinking thinking feeling. I’m grateful maybe I need help. I’m grateful instead of being stuck in the house while others drank wine in the afternoon. I did go for a late afternoon walk. It really helped. I’m grateful I’m at least thinking about going to a meeting. I’m not going yet.
I’m grateful I also have a lot of life changes and adventures and stressors where I have no idea what the fuck we are doing and I’m sure that is also affecting my mood and feelings. And the come down from moving out of Santa Monica where personally I would really love to live. But I can’t. And I feel sad about that too.
I’m grateful I got my Pilates instructor at 11 today and we are both up and will get our shit done so I can leave at 10:30. Because that is very important to me.
I’m grateful I’m taking a real hard look at myself.
I’m grateful for another day. And another chance for happiness.
I’m grateful for tears.
I’m grateful for y’all.
I may not get to choose what I’m given in life, but I am entirely responsible for what I think, feel and do with what life presents. I can be as miserable, spun up, emotionally shut down or as insane as I want to be. Or I can be happy, serene, open-hearted and loving. It’s up to me.

I am grateful for the job interview I had this afternoon. I was scared. I never feel comfortable in such situations especially when I have to talk about me CV.
In the end it was an interview and I have some days to wrap my mind around it. It would change everything again.
I am grateful for a warm spring day today. I am grateful for TS.

Just for today I don’t need to consume.

Catching up on this thread, but had to stop at the making cheese what kind of cheese? There is almost nothing better than a good cheese.
Edit: got my answer by scrolling more. Looks great!
I’m grateful for life. Once you pull that trigger there are no take-backsees.
Thank you Chiron ;
I couldn’t help myself.
I’m grateful for all the things that bind us together as one people–one humanity.
A song, a dance, a joke, a laugh… tears that fall because of tragedy like rain falling from the sky.
When all the complications fall away, we look and we see, like gazing into a mirror, the other is me.
I’m grateful I’m able to move my body.
I’m grateful for my breath.
I’m grateful for Rue.
I’m grateful for lobster ravioli.
I’m grateful for my best friend.
I’m grateful for my family.
I’m grateful that I have been sober for 6 months + 1 day
I’m grateful that although this journey has not been linear, I’m learning who I am. Who I was before the world told me who I was. And I am eternally grateful for that and this community.
these words moved me. So insidious how everything good (and bad) happening becomes a reason, an excuse.
Happy 6 moths to you Callie.
And a day. Every day matters.
I’m grateful you checked in with such great news.
Thank you Eric
Great job on 6 months!
