I know some people don’t like it but this is by far the most helpful book I’ve read since I became sober! I got the audiobook like you.

Today I’m grateful for…

  1. Another nice, hangover free morning with my morning routine and workout getting me going.

  2. The community here on TS and how supportive and willing to help everyone is

  3. The second chance at life I’ve found since I quit drinking.

  4. The newfound ability to enjoy the little things in life and not needing a mind altering substance to find this enjoyment.

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. Mistakes (or perceived mistakes/regrets) and that I can learn from them, including learning to release feelings of shame that seem to just come with the territory for me. Maybe someday I won’t jump right to feeling shame, but for now I can recognize the feeling, get curious about it and work on letting it go.
  2. Really good hand cream! It’s sooooo dry right now and my poor hands and cuticles are suffering, but I’ve got a few remedies that help!
  3. Monday mornings when my husband decides to stay in bed an extra half an hour and we just hang out and chat and stay warm under the covers just a little while longer. And Lupe is never in a hurry to get up, either!!

Grateful for my TS amigos and gratitude DUDES, or “grati-dudes”, every day. :heartpulse:

Edit to add this comic from one of my favorite comic artists, that showed up so I could laugh at myself and feel self compassion, too!

I’m grateful for the extra minutes of light on each side of the day. It may be cold outside! but I do love my seasons, and the changing of seasons.

I’m grateful I felt that pang of “aw, man? Monday?” after a beauty, cold snap, sober weekend - only because it reinforces just how much I love my sober life, and also how amazing it is to wake up without a hangover on a Monday morning.

Today I’m grateful for a new week, another chance to practice work/life balance!, and kindness to my coworkers and to myself too.

I’m grateful I have opportunities to do other things I love, to pursue my interests too, right here in my home during a global pandemic.

I’m grateful I can treat my little putt-putt to a new car battery this week.

I’m grateful that I am sober and not hungover, feeling sick to my stomach… unable to keep anything down from poisoning myself with booze.

I am grateful that I had lunch with my sister today eventhough she ended up drinking a little. Wasn’t tempted because I am done with that shit and the misery it brings.

I am grateful to be able to catch up on some sleep and rest. Netflix and cat cuddles it is. :cat::heart:

I am grateful I fought through the urge yesterday because today I have another alcohol-free day under my belt. I am grateful for my clear mind and positive outlook! I am grateful my mom called me right when I was struggling on my way home from work. She never calls me at that time of day. I’m grateful the universe is working with me in my sobriety. I am grateful for YOU!
