I’m grateful that I can read; and not only that, that I can read and write in cursive.
I’m grateful that I can look at an analog clock and know what time it is.
I’m grateful to have a warm roof over my head, plenty of food in the cupboards, and clean clothes on my back today.
I’m grateful that my pets needs are taken care of, albeit they would disagree since the dogs can’t go to the park today and the cats are out of their wet food (and dry food is beneath them now).
I’m grateful to have clean water, albeit I live next to a chemical factory, which probably explains why my ice cubes glow in the dark.
I’m grateful to be able to shower whenever I want today, and tend to my basic physical hygiene without hindrance.
I’m grateful that I am in a safe position to feel sadness and grief, instead of being in perpetual survival mode where that would have to be stuffed away.
I’m grateful to have this phone, internet, and platform to assist in my sobriety.
I’m grateful for the State who is helping me quit tobacco and stay quit.
My life is filled with so many blessings, innumerable graces, that when I really think about it—I feel silly for ever having felt fear or doubt.
Today I’m grateful for the long weekend away from home, which was nice and relaxing.
For having decided to leave my job, although it brings uncertainty.
For the income i’m still having.
For having had this opportunity, to work and live on a beautiful place, getting to experience different culture.
For going on a new try to loose some weight, changing some of my daily routines.
For being fairly healthy physically.
Today I’m grateful for:
~Big book reading days
~New chapters
~Not losing power
~Experiencing a blizzard/nor’easter in the hot tub
~Making my own bagels
~The Mr. making it home safely
~Dog gates & boundaries
~Music keeping him more calm in the livingroom because he’s ridiculously anxious with me cooking more (he thinks the oven & microwave beeps are smoke detectors and he shakes like a leaf when I won’t leave the house-poor baby)
~Being someone that shows up today
~Water
~Meeting with my immunologist later
~Balance in my life
~Loving both my alone time and my connected time
~Dreams, I didn’t have them for decades when I was in my addictions
~So many unexpected & beautiful things discovered in my recovery

Recovery
I’m grateful I was not lost in limbo, I was just so busy that I forgot to check in here. I’m grateful for my busy life (and I will be even more grateful when it slows down again).
I’m grateful for:
My lawyer, my goto since 2010, my all-knowing rock. And his speed. I guess I already got a rather mediocre contract draft back from review, overhauled and leveled up. Will read tomorrow and forward. No Emails (or anything needing brains) after 3 p.m.
A relaxing massage
The designated babyleaf-crop germinating/growing
Friends
Being brave and tackling the big, old trees. Pruning them, cutting out the dead branches. I’m grateful I learned enough to just DO it and don’t give a shit. Yes, my ex was an expert for this, no I don’t work on his level, and they will survive and hopefully not excessively grow. I’m sure they will show me how they like my treatment
My office @ home
Throwing away stuff
Skratched shoulders, benibbled ears, hair and nose, a warm neck, purrs right into my ear. Mini Sherlock’s fav spot are my shoulders atm
Catlove, doglove, friendslove, love
Hot showers & comfy cloths
Not switching into survival mode due to workload
Being kind and being approached with kindness
Sunshine (at least a bit)
New sneakers, my feet are happy
Homecooked meals, full fridge, taking time to cook and eat
Everything & everyone reliable. Especially my car, heating, tools, wonderwuzzi, neighbours, friends, people in general when reliable.
Today I’m grateful that the cold that was coming up the past two days seems to recede now.
For waking up yet another day without hangover.
For a new connection with a lovely person, albeit online, rewarding nonetheless.
For the easy day at work yesterday, and the cancelled meeting with my boss.
For living in such a quiet place
Today I’m grateful for:
~Being called to help others in the exact right moment by divine timing, not in my own
~Answering the call
~Spring painted toes
~Not getting as much snow as they predicted
~Alan Watts
~Working with specialists
~Being willing to take their advice (and modern medicines)
~Trying new things cooking
~My exercise video correlating with the painting I did right before
~Andrea Nelson tutorials
~The theme of just being willing in this list
~Sharing
~Sponsor chat days
~Being halfway through the week
Grateful for this place. A home I can always go to, with members who feel like distant relatives, and always someone familiar!!… some who I see are doing so well it puts a smile on my face!! @ICanAndWill
and others like me who have to start over, but that’s okay because as long as I am here, I am “home.”
Love yall…
Also, thankful for this quiet morning, all 3 of my kids are asleep and I get to sip coffee ALONE. Haha!
Thankful for the opportunity to start over again and to be able to catch myself before I fall to hard. Please Sarah. Catch yourself.

I’m grateful I’m sober for this job.
I’m grateful for both my recoveries to calmly, patiently, lovingly, be constantly on whizzy watch during this house training period omg what have we done?
Im grateful I get to carve out special time with my cats whose life we have upended.
I’m grateful I have no time for anything except to live in the moment with these little loving monsters.
I’m grateful for my new flexibility about what I will do next in any given moment.
I’m grateful I’m missing everyone here on TS and realize what’s important for me today. Right now.
I’m grateful I finally deleted twitter. This is HUGE!!!
I’m grateful these little fuckers @Cjp have kept me from all my excessive screen time.
I’m grateful when I am or get to spend time with a cat. If I can find one. I gratefully spend it one on one no screen. I’m grateful for the wonderful half hour I got with Daisy yesterday. Just the 2 of us.
I’m grateful I feel like I’m having a spiritual awakening every day to just live in the moment. And I can just sit here and look at my beautiful white azaleas that briefly burst in my garden for a few weeks.
I’m grateful how I feel my whole life changing and I’m not scared or worried about how are we going to do?……….. (with these 2 dogs)
I’m grateful this is us. I’m grateful this is what my sober wife and I do. Dog number 9 and 10.
I’m grateful THESE ARE MY LAST ONES!!
I’m grateful how much I miss this sober magical place and I can still be apart of it when I choose. I’m grateful TS works if I keep coming back.
