Going to start of my gratitude with yep you guessed it. I’m grateful to God. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for humor. I’m grateful for the realization that it’s normal to be emotional and cry for days surrounding something as significant as one year. I’m grateful to have been taught and believe the teacher that you gotta stay motivated and keep moving forward. It’s easy to get comfortable and start slipping backward. I’m grateful for the opportunities that continue to present themself as they did yesterday at my meeting. I’m grateful I have the confidence in myself and my supports to say yes because if i can’t we can. I’m grateful to read what @anon27760155 said about seeking the positive and how much easier that gets and happier it makes me. I’m grateful for the message from my sober living friend big ed and that we aren’t going to drink no matter what. I’m grateful for Emm’s message in the snow, told you adorable I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my friends. I’m grateful that even though I woke up late today, I finally slept like a champ after an emotional, might as well say week. I’m grateful to God.
God bless you all. &
Hey y’all.
Especially you M @M-be-free49
Because you said you like that song Give Me New Eyes. I came across this song today on one of my playlists. I forgot how inspiring it was for me. Have y’all heard of Brandon Heath? This one’s call “Give Me Your Eyes”
"The song was inspired from the idea that every once in a while, God gives us His eyes. @I.cant.We.can
I’m grateful I came across it and want to share with y’all. @anon74766472 you too Franzi
Give it a listen if you’re willing and got a minute. Or book mark it if you need some inspiration from God later on. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P5AkNqLuVgY
Love you guys
I’m grateful to God

I’m grateful for clean bedding
I’m grateful for evening snacks
I’m grateful for TS
I’m grateful that I have a meeting tomorrow morning at Wayside. I hope it will clarify what exactly is expected from the Wayside supportive housing community, if we are going to be permitted to continue going in, to volunteer and how with there being 20+ people does it fall on about three of us to carry the load.
I’m grateful for my friends.
I’m grateful for TS you guys are awesome at cheering eachother on
I’m grateful to God

Ok… Tonight I am grateful for being sober and not impulse amazon prime shopping! I cant tell you how many times things showed up I forgot I bought. Or, even better, learning to double check the next am and quickly cancel the order.
Hey all… Im grateful for my past self… who took a leap of faith and tried out this recovery thing. He made the best decision of his life and didn’t even know it at the time. Good on you… me
I’m grateful I woke up early again before six. My back felt pretty good. I’m not hungover. I’m sober. I got my new Ethiopian coffee beans and Benson on my lap. I’m grateful for the wonderful 2 hours of me time.
Speaking of hours I’m grateful there’s only 27 1/2 hours left before we can attempt to unfuck America.
I’m grateful wifey is cooking her Shang-Hi casserole for dinner tonight. I’m grateful I got the night off
I’m grateful we have snow and or rain in the forecast. I’m grateful we will have some weather. Anything will do.
I’m grateful and so blessed to be retired. Especially now with all the turmoil and stuff going on in this world. Oh and a pandemic.
I’m grateful I got one job. Don’t pick up that first drink. I do that and no matter what else my day is successful. I win!!
I’m grateful my son and his wife who tested positive for COVID are feeling better. He just told us!!! They didn’t want to worry us!!
I’m grateful he’s a sap just like his old man. He had to come clean. He said he was sorry. He didn’t want to worry us. He’s a therapist now. I told him that’s quite some power and control you must have over my feelings. He said “well played Dad.” I’m not going to lie to y’all. I’m kinda glad he told us when he did and how he did. But I’m not telling him that
I’m grateful for the healthcare workers.
I’m grateful for all our troops and especially the National Guard out there protecting our democracy.
Good morning, fellow Gratidudes!
I’m already grateful and smiling when I see Eric typing (with coffee and pets, I can imagine!) his list too.
Yes, coffee. Always grateful for coffee as I type this list.
Today I’m grateful it’s a new day. The long Monday? What long Monday? Today is Tuesday, and the day holds promise.
I’m grateful for my mindset - for the change in my mindset, thanks to sobriety. I have today. That alone makes me rich. I’m grateful for how much this practice, and this thread, show me how full my glass really is. Brimming.
I’m grateful for the super-warm mitts I splurged on. Temperatures are dropping again (it is January, after all) but going outdoors puts a lot of gas in soul tank, so to speak. And warm hands now too.
I’m grateful for the food in my frig. A resolution this year is to aim for little to no food waste. (I wasn’t raised to throw out food!) So I’m thrilled I finished my leftovers yesterday and I get to cook a fresh meal tonight.
M and D? Thank you, for all of it. Not a day goes by…
Oh wow - I’m grateful your son and his wife are ok too! And I’m glad, frankly, (for your and all of our sake!) that they didn’t tell you until now. But I’m more glad they’re ok.
I’m grateful you’re retired and have time for us - you’re like that uni prof who kept his door open and let us drop in and sent us off with an encouraging word. No formalities, just kindness.
And that you have time to keep the memes thread stocked!
My gratitude post. Honeymoon is over: Day 16. Today I am sad. Like the heavy chest, tears threatening to shed. May need to hide in my office, sad. I just want to crawl into bed and not be be an adult.
But… I am sober sad, my first time not turning to booze sad. This will be my first real moment of just sitting with my feelings, seeing it, letting it just be. I dont want to be sad, to feel this depth of darker emotions, yet know that to understand happiness I need to understand the opposite. Perhaps letting myself feel the uncomfortable feelings shall help me truly appreciate and be grateful for the happy ones?
This time I am not dulling my emotions with a bottle of wine, this time I will journal and reflect and maybe the darker emotions can help me along my journey.
I am grateful that the vet said that my 3 cats were doing well… i just need to keep Blanket eating well so she continues to keep her weight up and the other 2 boys need to be cut back slightly so they don’t get too heavy. Tricky, but we will figure a way to balance it out
Grateful I can value the technological progress that is made in diabetes therapy in the last 20 years. Started off with a strict regimen that directed me into a full blown eating disorder (anorexia, later bulemia). Now, I have cgm, Insulin pump and a closed loop. Much more parameters that can NOT work but hell, what a relieve for parents of kids with diabetes that must be.
Grateful that in maybe a month I will have a dish washer.
Grateful for the ability to forgive and be forgiven
Grateful for raising two young men who have the strength to do the same
Grateful for lessons learned and movement forward
Grateful for hot baths, good music, and time to journal.
Grateful this is what bring me joy
Grateful for deep sleep, warm dreams, and early sunshine (this is my active manifestation in action:-)
I’m grateful to God please continue to shine your light though me thus keeping my darkness at bay and lighting the way for myself and others
I’m grateful to be home after a long day
I’m grateful for my mom and sister and the unconditional love they show me is possible
I’m grateful for the grati-dudes
I’m grateful for my recovery
I’m grateful to God
God bless you all. &
p.s. You can be the change you want to be. ya you!!
I’m grateful for TS. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my friends. I’m grateful that even though I woke up late today, I finally slept like a champ after an emotional, might as well say week. I’m grateful to God.
