Today I am grateful to be sober and not hungover.

I am grateful for my wonderful fiance who unfortunately has to work today.

I am grateful for good coffee.

I am grateful for my local school system and teachers that have been doing an amazing job dealing with school reopening issues due to COVID19.

I am grateful for my community college that I applied to yesterday (already have a 4 year degree, but looking to get some education in a different direction as well).

I am grateful for Disney+ which the kids LOVE when we are stuck inside.

I am grateful that I will be able to take a week long mountain vacation in a week from today, it is great to look forward to and has played a large part in maintaining my sanity lately.

I am grateful for all of you and the support that this forum offers (and hopefully I can get on the call today to see some of you and chat!)

I am really learning not to take some things for granted in my life. I have a good life that fits me well and I need to appreciate all of it a little more. I have seen a lot of people lose so much simply because they didn’t appreciate it or work to keep it. I may be posting in this thread more in the future just to keep myself on track with appreciating the little things.

I grateful for the little extra blessings sobriety has given me. Like this morning’s flexiblity to alter my routine. (As long as I got my coffee in.) Wifey got up wanted to walk the dogs before it got too hot. I’m good with that. Anything for the old dog. I was in the middle of my devotionals and it didn’t bother me at all to just finish my coffee and the devotional I was reading and know I can come back to it later this morning. It may not sound like much but this is actually a big deal for me.

And here I am :grinning: after the dog walk. I like my routine and don’t mess with it :triumph: I don’t mind changing my routine as long as I have some notice. So I’m back and had a nice dog walk thinking about all I can be grateful for.

I’m grateful for another sober hangover free morning sitting on my deck. No cat :sweat_smile: though.
Grateful to be up early with the whole day a head. Don’t know what I’m going to do with the whole day but here I am nonetheless.
Grateful for the breeze on my deck.
The perfect temperature.
The sound of my waterfall.
The 2 squirrels chasing each other round and round this big pine tree at warp speed :chipmunk:
The sounds of the birds in the morning.
Grateful for gratitude list and TS and the amount of time I spent on here yesterday. It really help with my outlook on life and kept me away from the news and twitter.
Grateful for one day at a time.
The Breethe App. I’m using it everyday and learning more and more about meditation. And I’m :heart: LOVING IT :heart: I’m not new to meditation but I had been doing the exact same thing year after year and I just feel enlightened all of a sudden that I’m branching out and there’s a whole world of beneficial meditation out there to learn.

Thank you Natalie. Appreciate that. I love your beginning and ends to your list. Especially the “hit my knees and pray” part. With 2 grown up children in recovery and one with a dual diagnosis (bi polar) I believe God has so much more than just a little hand in the miracle of recovery.

I know your profile says U.K. my favorite place in the world. I’m originally from Boston and when you start your gratitude list saying clean and “Soba” I cant help but think of my Boston accent and my New England roots. It’s comforting. And my Boston accent does come out once and awhile. I haven’t lived up there for 40 years.
:pray:t2::heart:

@DuncanNZ Today I am grateful that even though I feel lonely, confused and borderline depressed, that I’m still sober and willing regardless. I copied your words brother, I feel the same way today, but drinking is not a option! I’m grateful for God, taking away the urge, my health and strength! I’m also thankful for this journey of living sober, accepting things for what they are, Ego free! Thank God!
