I’m grateful for the huge smile on my face that’s going to last quite a few hours, because Sunflower has a rabbit name Cosmo Kramer. 
. That is just too cute.

Had to name him that due to the way he makes his entrances in the morning!

I am so grateful, first for the rabbit named Cosmo Kramer even before I saw Eric’s post! and that Eric and Brian get to watch football today but that I don’t have to! [still chuckling!]
I’m grateful for this thread. Seeing other gratitude lists just expands my own scope of gratitude.
I’m grateful for the day ahead of me - some chores, some play, and making a yummy new recipe tonight.
I’m grateful that I enjoy spending time alone sober now. I feel so much more like I did when I was a happy kid, colouring in my room or riding my bike to the library and pretty ok with the world - even though it wasn’t perfect.
I’m grateful for the forest beside my home and the trails right there. To me they’re my soft place to land. Way better than anything poured out of a bottle. And where I go to have fun! Which I will do today.
M and D? You know it. Everyday.
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m grateful to get into bed clean and sober. I’m grateful for all the people I’m surrounded with at home and Wayside and TS and meetings that are trying to better themselves. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for mom, she’s struggling with her health and mentally and I just want to go see her and give her a hug 
but covid doesn’t allow it and she won’t either. I’m grateful for meditation and music to hopefully get me out of this sadness and allow some sleep. I’m grateful for my recovery and that I take it seriously so that times like now i may be emotional but drugs and booze are barely even an after thought. I’m grateful for the distraction of thing I truly enjoy like lots of sports, humor and music. God bless you all.

I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful I’m not hungover
I’m grateful my stew was fantastic last night 
I’m grateful we’ll have stew again Tuesday night.
I love stew weather. What can I say 
I’m grateful @CapriciousCapricorn posts her numbers most days? Maybe everyday. I’m always impressed. And since I forget my numbers of sober days I get to think, Hey!! I got numbers like that too. (This is where I pat myself on the back)
I’m grateful we are all in this together.
I’m grateful I’m really enjoying the Russell Brand book Freedom From Our Addictions. I read something creative in his book that made me think M @M-be-free49 would like his style. “ I struggled with each step and took them like a vet-bound dog.”
Did I mention I’m grateful I’m sober.
And grateful for all the help I’ve gotten here at TS from all you guys.

I am grateful that you made me grateful for garlic too! And I think you are also grateful for snow, even if sometimes it brings the cold.

I am so grateful to see your handwritten list. It’s beautiful and teaches me just how much we can weave gratitude everywhere and all the time into our lives. I’m grateful that you could share your sadness about your mom. I understand it. I’m grateful for your “ps” lines at the end of your posts. They make me smile.

I am grateful for the smiles that land on my face when I read your posts - especially about your dogs and a rabbit! I don’t think my dog would react well to a rabbit by any name, so I love to read about yours.

Hi gratitude people 
I love what you all have going on here. Hope you don’t mind if I tag along. Today I am grateful beyond measure for you. For TS. For this community bonded in shared experience of the most gut wrenching and painful but also hopeful and beautiful kind. I am grateful for my IRL family and friends for their love and support, especially those who I’ve come out to with my mental health and substance use issues. I’m grateful to have had the bestest boy, and his little sister, too…the most rascally and loveable critters who have been steadfast in their unconditional love as only dogs can be. I am grateful that life has taken me on this trip so far and that I’m digging in deeper now than ever before.
Looking forward to joining you all again here tomorrow

Oops I had 3 consecutive posts and I couldn’t post my real post!
Today I am grateful I went to bed sober last night and woke up headache-free and hangover-free and shame-free…
I’m grateful I’m learning to face all of my emotions and not trying to sidestep them.
I’m grateful for life’s lessons and to learn about myself, to see the stuff about me that needs work and change and growth, and the chance to work these in recovery.
I’m grateful for all the support we share here that helps me face difficult things in sobriety. For the beautiful John McAndrew song (have you seen the video, @Dazercat ?) and the book reference too.
I’m grateful for the arts. For books and music that make me feel like a perfect stranger completely understands me. Illustrations and paintings too that almost take me somewhere else.
I’m grateful I could spend time outside yesterday and that it was such a nice day. Fills my soul.
Like every day, M and D, I’m always grateful for what we had, who you were and always will be to me.
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m grateful my wife still isn’t drinking
cocktails at 5. Like it was gin cosmos every afternoon in 2020. It’s been a few weeks now. I mentioned I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. And that’s as far as I’m going with it. Still drinking plenty of wine. But that’s not my problem. And we aren’t passing out on the couch anymore.
So I got that going for me.
I’m grateful for the time I have with wifey when she’s not drinking. And even when she is if you leave out the gin.
