grateful to be 11 days sober.
grateful to have an amazing job.
grateful that I’m strong to keep fighting.
Grateful for another hangover free morning. Another sober day. A new day another new beginning. Grateful I got my workout in very late in the day yesterday. Grateful for summer. Finally. Grateful I had loving parents who brought me up the best they could RIP🙏🏻. All the joy my cats and dogs give me. Even if it 5 am and they are jumping on me to get up. Grateful for the rhythmic snoring of my old dog. Grateful she still likes belly rubs. My health and my family. My gratitude lists each day.
have to go back 24 hours and I’m not usually one to live in the past but I’m so grateful I didn’t have that drink and smoke I thought about yesterday bc it would have totally ruined my today. Never take a day for granted.
Grateful to be married 37 years today. 155 days sober. Still at/under goal weight. Grateful for the 4 cats and 2 dogs surrounding me in the kitchen every morning for breakfast. Grateful for the blessings God has given me. Especially the ones I don’t deserve. Grateful my God is with me even though it seems like God has been on Holiday. Extremely grateful that I realize drinking will not help my problems, or feelings of depression.
Grateful for another day. Who knows, maybe i won’t be depressed. Maybe I’ll will be motivated today to do something.
I’m grateful the little headache I have this morning is not from drinking last night. Grateful my cat buddy is loudly purring on my lap. Grateful I put on my Christian Pop music yesterday and it really helped me not be depressed all day. Had a nice at home anniversary yesterday despite a few hiccups. And NO BOOZE for the first time on an anniversary. Didn’t know my 37th anniversary was going to be the “dry pandemic anniversary.” Grateful for clean windows. Grateful for my window cleaners. Grateful I got a one hour workout in yesterday and I got the weekend off from working out. Grateful that, maybe, my God is not answering my prayers today, but is by my side and my answers will be greater than my “asks”.
I’m also so grateful for all the little things
I am grateful I don’t have to look through my phone to figure out what I did last night. I am grateful my internal organs are not hurting or in pain. I am grateful I don’t have to plan my schedule around when the liquor store is open. I am grateful for my nerves in my arms not throbbing. I am grateful for this very moment!
Greatful my son is 7 freakin years sober today!!
Welcome to the forum! It’s a great place to utilise! I hope you receive the same support I do here, endless!
Today I am grateful for this forum, and this daily gratitude thread. I’m grateful that even though I’ve struggled to write a gratitude list for a few days I’ve seen your posts in here and it’s made it clear to me that gratitude is a healthy form of self expression. Thank you kindly to Dazercat for continued posts on here, honestly your expressions of gratitude to me are a fine example of how I can behave and the benifits to my well-being that I experience when I have an attitude of gratitude, so sincerely, thank you.
Today I am grateful for my decision to write a gratitude list. Today I am grateful I woke up to a beautiful day in paradise. Today I am grateful for black coffee, for kick starting my day with some energy, something that I lack in a depressive faze, so to have it on tap is quite something! Today I am grateful for family food water friends and shelter. I’m grateful for animals and my pets, for AA, NA, my sponsor, for life, to be alive, for my higher power, that my brother is home safe, that I have a job, that I’m clean and sober, that I’m willing to consider study for next year, that I’m closer to getting my motorcycle licence. I’m grateful that I only have to stay sober for today, for a roast meal tonight. I’m grateful that I can hand things over, I’m oh so grateful. I’m grateful that when I practice gratitude the feeling grows, and I’m grateful that i realise if I choose to practice depression that will grow too, so I have a solution and that’s amazing. So gray for you all, have a wonderful day from me here on a sunny Sunday morning in rural New Zealand.
Today I am grateful for air conditioning!!!
Its 91° but feels like 100°.
Starting to miss winter
On point @Ibelieve66 same here my friend.
I’m grateful I don’t have to read a police report to figure out what I did last night…
I’m grateful for the rooms and the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous…
I am grateful to practice the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous in all of my affairs…
I am grateful that when I lay my head down on my pillow at night I do not need to make any amends to anyone that I might have harmed emotionally or physically during the day. Falling right to sleep after my prayers.
Thank you Duncan for your kind words. It can be a struggle every day to do my gratitude list. But there really is so much i can be grateful for
I owe it all to this gentleman here https://resolutionstreatment.com/team_member/richard-burr/.
Richard Burr. I met him through my son at the beginning of his sober journey. Great guy. Many many years sober. He has some wonderful meditation (I don’t know what you call them anymore) CDs. Downloads? Digital? You can find them on line at Amazon or iTunes etc. I love his meditations. Some are only 6 minutes or 10 minutes or 12 minutes long. Whatever u got time for. But any way he’s the one who told my son start every day with ten things your grateful for.
On a side note. I wish I could live in NZ. Sounds like your country has their act together. Always dreamed of living there. I been down under once. It was pretty cool.
Grateful for another sober morning.

Sleeping with the windows open with mountain air cooling the house.
My old dog Minnie can still do our 3 & 1/2 mile walk twice a week.
She can still do our forty minute walk the other five days a week.
Grateful for the wonderful feeling I get inside when someone has me on their gratitude list. @DuncanNZ
I am grateful to have my stool back to a normal color. We see too often how alcohol affects externally, mentally, physically, etc. But it really does the body, your internal organs much damage. I am grateful to be at Day 16.
I am still and will be forever grateful every morning my Daisy cat sits warmly on my lap for my devotionals prayer and TS time. I’ve just never had a cat like her before.
Grateful for the unconditional love all my pets give me. Grateful for another sober week ahead. The coolest June weather I’ve ever lived in.
Mountain air. I wasn’t depressed yesterday. Three days with out being depressed. Grilling my steak perfectly last night!! Mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Yard work. Grateful to be alive and having hope for the future.

I got my home work out in yesterday.
Sitting with the fireplace on in June. Coldest loveliest June I’ve ever been in.
Sobriety.
I don’t have to workout today.
My son. My daughter. My niece.
My home. Water.
I am grateful I have the tools to stay sober through adversity. For growing self love. I am grateful for a comfortable home and absence of danger. For the love in my life. For my grandma. For my dog.
