I’m grateful for my friend that cracked my ribs back in February 2019 giving me cpr after I overdosed. Somehow I recently pulled something I’m not even sure, they rarely get sore. I think having a bad back and constantly favouring it has my posture out of alignment and it gets painful.
I’m grateful that I can take the time to try and lay still and let it heal.

I’m grateful it has warmed up. It snowed a whole bunch too the last few days - so now it is like a snowy springy day. Ish. It felt fresh to walk the dog girl this morning and just enjoy the moist air.

I’m grateful to be sober, especially when the days serve up some stress - I can see how much the stress is outside of me, due to events mostly not in my control. My sobriety has become like a buffer, protecting me from the stuff that used to have me fill up my glass, if that makes any sense?

I’m grateful for the support of this thread and from TS too, all the recognition for my 8 months - It felt kind of like a goofy milestone. Like a B- or C+ :joy: 2/3’s of the way “there” - if there is actually a “there”! And there isn’t, it’s just one day at a time. But I’m still grateful for all the support and celebration. Truly - some random days are more noteworthy in sobriety than the milestones, to me.

I’m grateful for my coffee. I’m grateful for my frig and cupboards with food. I’m grateful for my health, my wee home, the daily company of the dog girl, the virtual company of pals and dear ones. So much I take for granted every day. That the lights turn on and the water comes out the faucet. :pray:

M and D? Today is no different.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Happy Wednesday, grateful guys!
Today I’m grateful:

  • That after a sleepless night I was able to take a couple hour+ nap and wake up feeling really refreshed. It’s not typical to feel that way after a nap for me.
  • For the drop dead gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky, no wind, and warm enough to not be bundled up. I sat out on the deck with my best girl Lupe for an hour and we are about to go take a long afternoon walk.
  • For feeling grounded and centered today. I feel like I am steady on my path again and recognize that I’ve successfully used my tools to get through challenges and prevent a downward spiral into depression. Or relapse. That’s a win for me.

Grateful for my TS amigos :heartpulse:

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free. This is on of the many simple pleasures sobriety offers that never disappoints.

Today I really am grateful I am still sober, I was always grateful anyway but when you find out you’ve grown the strength to stay that way when times get a bit tricky it feels just that bit more amazing.

Good evening all,
Today I’m grateful that I made it home safely( dust storms are no joke).
I’m grateful that I was able to let 2 coworkers go home a bit early today, I know that always helps me when I can, and it can be hard to do with my job.
I’m grateful for my kids who meet me at the door when I’ve pulled into the garage. It’s usually to ask what’s for dinner, or if they can have something, but I’m still grateful for it.
I’m grateful for hot tea tonight, especially because my throat feels like sandpaper from all the wind and dust.
I’m grateful that another coworker and I did a 5 minute session on Breethe to start our workday. I think I’m gonna like it.
Grateful for all of you guys, you always remind me that there’s more to be grateful for.
Everyone have a relaxing night❤️

Today I’m grateful:

  • That my Yogi tea spoke to me this morning (see photo)
  • For making plans for the future with light at the end of this gall dang tunnel that seemed never ending for so long.
  • For new opportunities to learn and grow everywhere, every day. Just have to look closely sometimes, and maybe it’s simply learning to sit with discomfort and not always self-soothe or distract or avoid. Really sit and become curious and observe what the discomfort is, what the emotions are, and learn something about myself.

Grateful for my TS amigos :green_heart::heartpulse::green_heart:

I’m grateful to God that I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I no longer depend on booze.
I’m grateful Rosa just did her gratitude list so I didn’t have to scroll down searching for my Gratidudes. It’s the little things in life right?
I’m grateful for the pretty light dusting of snow last night and not the 3-5 inches they were predicting. My wife? Not so much?
I’m grateful I have a better attitude now that I don’t drink all the time. I don’t think I’m as angry and pissed off as I use to be. I mean circumstances around me haven’t changed. We still live in a fucked up world and I still think people suck but I don’t think it bothers me as much. And by people I just mean what I see and read in the news. Which I been trying to easily limit myself but not put my head in the sand.
I’m grateful I have a house and home and family and pets and food and heat and water and electricity that I’m sure I take for granted 23 & 3/4 hours a day.
I’m most grateful for my health. Even though I’ve had issues here and there plenty of them, God has given me a good body to get through this thing we call life.
Grateful for y’all.
:pray:t2::heart:

Because when you stop and look around, life is pretty amazing

Rosa, I love this. Thank you so much! I don’t usually have much time to read AND post on TS, and when it comes to this thread I feel like I need to write a novel --there’s just so much I feel grateful for (and it doesn’t help that I always read everyone’s posts, so it all takes up more time :slightly_smiling_face:). Going for a deeper, more detailed take on the one thing seems like it would work just right for me.
