What a beautiful perspective @Bootz on how the program works in our lives when we allow it to. 
Keep up the good work my friend. Stay focused and determined in your resolve. #I recovery

Today I am grateful for:
- lazy Sundays, chilling out and being as lazy as I want to.
- great food and ice cream!
- Columbo repeats
- soggy moggy cat cuddles when he comes in from the rain
- my lovely peaceful home
- not drinking in front of my 17 year old step son for the last 3 weeks. I think this is having a positive effect on him. He is interacting with us much more.
- saying no to a drink even though my fiancée had a beer. It played on my mind for a minute but then the urge was gone.
- time to think and remember things
- this gratitude list
- this forum, I’m on here all the time!
- God for reinventing me and rebuilding me day by day

Day 9, grateful for being sober, my family. Also paid off $19k in credit card debt from a divorce and year long not give a fuck attitude. Feels great to finally get out from under that

Grateful to be up real early, sober, with a very over cast sky, kind of dark and eerily quiet and wet outside, and my warm cat on my lap.
Morning quiet time.
Praying to God.
The funny noises my dog Benson makes once and awhile when he stretches and yawns. A weird “yawelp?!”
I got my workout in yesterday.
No workout to dread today.
Walk with dogs and wifey.
Power walk with wifey after.
Going to vote today.
Lots of rain in the forecast.

- my fur ball being so pleased to see me when I finally got home.
- furry belly rubs
- putting my pjs on at 7.30pm and ordering takeout
- Ice cold water
- early nights

Congratulations on your 200 days @Dazercat that is most certainly outstanding and absolutely epic, 
off to you good sir!
Today I am grateful for healthy dietary choices, today I’m grateful I hit the gym even though at first I was resentful about there being so many people there. Grateful I realised that was life giving me an opportunity to grow because I need to become more familiar with and comfortable in healthy social settings. Grateful that it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Grateful that even though sometimes I like to do things alone I can see now that there’s a balance and it doesn’t have to be negitive it can be positive… Today I am grateful for a NA meeting, the ability to share the message of recovery there, and for a compliment on the development of my physique since starting the gym 4 months ago. Grateful I’ve consistently been doing AA, NA and gym. Grateful for the opportunity to work tomorrow. Grateful for my dog 
Isla who comes to work with me (border collie), grateful that I have realised that I need to have a pathway in life that is something different and more challenging that anything I’ve done before, grateful for the willingness to consider what that might be and to open up doors and see where they lead. Grateful for NA tomorrow, gym tomorrow, Friday AA, Sunday AA. Grateful for talking sober and this gratitude thread.

I’m grateful for 10 sober days, last night’s group meeting, sitting in bed and talking with the girlfriend, things are still very rocky between us and she’s still on the fence on weather I’m actually going to stay sober this time, and I don’t blame her after so many relapses. But we are still working on us. Grateful I have my son this afternoon and then going to church tonight.

This is where I fail the most. I should be grateful for many things. All three kids are in my life, I am buying my first house, and I have great relationships with most of my family members. Why can I not let go of the fact that my 10 yr old is living with someone who is allowed to beat her, I’m held to way higher standards than he is and I can’t even take him back to court. Ever. 9yrs sober
