I am grateful that I came out of this bout of depression without trying to commit suicide, without using drugs, and without losing faith in God.

Grateful for a slow morning.
Grateful I had a chance to pick up my favourite dark roast beans in the city - about to have my second cup of deliciousness.
Grateful that I’m not freaking out about spending the holiday so differently - just looking forward to the downtime, time outdoors, time to read, time to exhale…
Grateful for the love and support of my pals and this place too.
Grateful for my parents and the life they gave me - always.
Grateful for another day.

And I am grateful that you are still here, K!
Even in your lowest moments, (maybe even because of these?), you are inspiration for others - to keep going and not lose faith.
I’ll get in line now to give you a hug too.

Good sober morning y’all.
I’m grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful, even though I’m starting the day off headachey, it’s not from a hangover and the coffe should fix that 
I’m grateful for the nice warm feeling inside me, that in some way my gratitude list helps people.
I’m grateful when my cats wake me up, that they are usually right, and it’s is time to get up.
I’m grateful at any given moment I can look at one of my pets and chuckle, as I see Minnie perched on top of the back of the couch cushions, instead of just sitting on the couch like a regular person/dog.
Grateful I had Benson and Maverick on my lap until the barking started.
Grateful I can be inside and warm since it’s barely going to get above freezing today.
Grateful wifey didn’t like her “lobstah” last night. More for me 
Grateful for the quietness of the morning and the loud intermittent sound of the ravens outside.
Grateful for all the healthcare workers.
Grateful for the support of everyone at TS

I’m grateful to be alive, sober, clean and free. I’m greatful that even though I slept terribly last night, it’s really not a big deal it likely means I’ll sleep great tonight.
I’m greatful to God. I’m greatful it’s day 30 of total freedom from a lifelong nicotine addiction. I’m extremely greatful that my mom and dad we’re just here for a socially distanced visit in the park down the street. I woke up late so rushed out the door to see them without getting to do my normal routine, which, this list is a very, very important part of. It can set the tone for the day even more some times when coupled with the gratitude and support from all of you here(Eric). I’m greatful for my family. I’m greatful for my friends. I’m greatful that this 42 year old still got spoiled by his parents with a bunch of gifts today and they even dropped off gifts from my sisters and extended family members. I’m greatful that I get to go make supper and hang out with the staff and clients at Wayside today. I’m greatful that I was there last night playing cards with the guys letting them use my you tube to listen to music since they aren’t allowed to have they’re phones or internet but I am so I share. We laughed our asses off which reminds me of how grateful I am for music and laughter.
Have a great day everyone. God bless you all.

So much to be grateful for.
Grateful for the beautiful posts from my gratitude buddies on here 
Grateful for the time to sink into this fun home organizing project - this is the perfect time to do it.
Grateful for Christmastime. I know so much is different this year, and that for many - the point is to spend it with family - but maybe this year without all the commercialism and event after event after gathering after get-together - we can all find a true appreciation for family (and family of friends) and real connection with each other - even if we’re apart.
Grateful for good cheese! I decided to still celebrate with special foods I like, and I just had an apple and aged gouda and it was delicious.
Grateful for the life my parents gave me, who they were to me, and who they always will be to me.
Grateful for another day.

Look at you go!
I know from a really long time ago that physically you are going to start feeling great after 30 days. One of my favorite parts of physically feeling better was the early morning showers not coughing up a lung. Every morning, when I smoked a lot, the morning coughing fits in the shower were brutal. Then have coffee and a cigarette. Cuz that makes sense. What a great Christmas present to yourself. And you probably don’t smell like a butt anymore
Good for you.
Take that 2020

Today I’m grateful for my hot tea this morning. I’m grateful that being sober offers me the opportunity to talk with my family anytime I want. I don’t avoid calls and texts in the evening anymore.
Everyone have a great day❤️

Grateful that none of my family really drinks, so it’s never been associated with holidays for me.
Grateful for Zoom, so I can still spend Christmas morning with my family in Alaska. We were supposed to be up there this year, but since baby is on the way, we were advised not to go. A pretty great reason to cancel the trip.
Grateful to be healthy and able to go for a run this morning.
