I’m grateful God has given me another sober morning, hangover free, with my dog and fireplace and lit Christmas tree, to sit here and do my morning devotionals and Bible reading and TS check in.
I’m grateful I continue to get my Christmas shopping done. A couple more things to do and I’ll be done.
Grateful I can shop on line from the comfort of my living room chair.
I’m grateful for all the birds that come to my bird feeders. It seems like I’m filling them up every day now.
Grateful for the joy my pets give me.
Grateful to be married all these 37 years :face_with_raised_eyebrow::crazy_face:
I’m grateful the way my parents brought me up, RIP, they did the best they could.
I’m grateful I had wonderful grand parents that took care of me when I was young and mom was working and dad was laid up.

I’m grateful the way my life has turned out after I left Boston when I was 18 and was successful enough I never had to return home.
I’m grateful I haven’t had strong desires or urges to drink. Just fantasies that my addicted mind thinks about, but I know “I’m not drinking today! And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.”
I’m grateful for all the good people in the world.
I’m grateful for all the healthcare professionals and all the strength they must have to deal with a pandemic that has been politicized over science. I mean I don’t get it! And it makes me so angry! I cannot imagine how the healthcare workers feel day in and day out. God bless them. :pray:t2::pray:t2:

Late gratitude practice for me today.

I’m grateful I had a safe trip yesterday and got settled into my hotel today, and had a productive work day at my laptop in this room that smells like lysol…

I’m grateful that the big snafu this morning was where and how to get coffee, and not where my next meal will come from…

I’m grateful for my new masks, that they protect others - yes, and the mandatory physical distancing. I ate way tooo much yummy garlicky hummus and carrots on my little road trip. And now I don’t have to worry about the effects of that on others. :joy:

I’m grateful I’m sober. If I was still looking for reasons to drink, I’d have found a cargo ship full of 'em yesterday. Good thing I have wayyyy more reasons not to drink. :wink:

I’m grateful for another day, and the sleep that will come soon. :orange_heart:

Today I’m grateful to have woken up feeling refreshed.

I’m grateful that I have my take-away coffee beside me, and that situation sorted out!

I’m grateful to my parents for the life we had and that they gave us. If I get sad today when I’m at Mom’s suite, I’m sure if I start instead thinking about all I have to be grateful for in them - I’ll feel better.

I’m grateful to be sober and that I have the support in this community to stay sober.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Got any pics of those birds at the feeders? My folks had them too - when I used to call them they would always give me a daily report! :laughing: And my Dad built all kinds of contraptions to keep the squirrels away from them. Ah, the things to look forward to in retirement! :joy: :joy: :joy:

I’m grateful for this message board and this app. I just discovered it two days ago and I’m overwhelmed by how loving, humble and supportive this community is. I’m grateful for the strength I feel now having this accountability and the inspiration coming from all these incredible stories. :heart:
I’m greatefull for brown rice and green tea, for the abundance of technology at my finger tips and the option to ignore it, for the snow outside, smell of winter and the house that keeps me from freezing. And I’m grateful for being reminded to appreciate these things.

I really am grateful to be sober this morning, hangover free, with my coffee and Benson on my lap, and the Christmas tree lit and a fire in the fireplace. I really am. It’s not just me starting off my gratitude list each day. Sometimes it feels that way. But I’m blessed to be able to start my day like this. And it’s such a beautiful thing. Thank you Lord.

I’m grateful for the overcast sky and clouds this morning and chance of snow. I’ll believe it when I see it but I do enjoy the change in weather.

Grateful for my grateful heart. I think I’ll just leave it at that by this morning.

Grateful for my family of friends, and this place too, and the huge support they and you too all are to me.

Grateful that I’ve been in this hotel 5 days now and only yesterday did I notice that it has 3 liquor stores within a 4 min walk - I would’ve had that mapped out within 5 minutes 6 months ago!

Grateful for the coffee shop 2 mins away and that it opens nice and early. :wink:

Grateful that I can feel my feelings and not be worried I’ll cave to them.

Grateful that I feel hopeful, despite things in my life and the world at large, that I still feel hope for myself and the future. I stopped this when I was drinking, and it feels good to be getting it back.

This is a do-over, but I’m grateful every day for my parents.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:
