I am grateful for four new shelves in my moms carport. Structuring the space helped to get some control over the chaos.
I am grateful for my friends. They check in on me and keep me sane.
I am grateful I know what is mine to solve and what is not.
I am grateful for structure and routines right now.
I am grateful for my boss who instantly offered to give me more flexibiliy on work ours for when I need it the coming few weeks.
I am grateful granny is managing the heat alright. Grateful, she’s still around.
Monday morning gratitude.
I’m deeply grateful I caught up on sleep, the last weeks (months?) were a lot. Nothing beats waking up sober after 10 hours of restful med-induced sleep after sleeping through sunday. I’m grateful for the moment I feel good and capable to cope with the heat ![]()
I’m grateful for ODAAT, taking it minute to minute, hour to hour, step by step. Heat and summer depression take a toll on my mental and physical wellbeing. I’m grateful for the vast toolbox I have to apply it on everything in my life, not just sobriety. Knowing I made it in the past and survived, last year in quite acceptable life quality, makes the coping easier, increases my confidence in doing the next right thing towards balancing out the upcoming overwhelm and desperation and helps to focus on what I CAN do vs. what I think needs to be done. Still grateful I’m working on the latter, I’ve come far in letting go and changing those beliefs and ideas but especially in summer I see clearly there is still work to do. I’m grateful the solstice rituals helped a lot on it.
I’m grateful for the A/C, it keeps the house tempered and provides a quality of life that still feels new allthough it was installed and used already last year. Deeply grateful I invested the money in increasing life quality ![]()
I’m grateful @JazzyS is back on TS
You are missed #4 - #2387 by JazzyS
I’m grateful this week is not packed with appointments and I can do at my pace ![]()
I’m grateful my endocrinologist looks into a lab result that has been on a slightly too low level for quite some years. Maybe she finds an answer why. It’s nothing concerning regarding the lab result and it doesn’t cause issues but there might be a hidden infection in my body.
I’m grateful I already watered the plants, one round on the westside to go and then I’m done for today. I’m a bit sad that the blooming southside project failed. Will try to seed something else there. I’m grateful I try new things even if they fail. It strengthens my ability to cope with failure. Progress not perfection.
I’m grateful I will catch up on chores and putting away today, first round already done ![]()
I’m grateful I have more time to read now. I’ve been missing reading and had too much dull screentime on the phone lately.
I’m grateful for my wonderful life, my pets, my cozy house, the beautiful place I live and the peace and quiet that gives me the opportunity to breath freely and feel safe, loved and cared. I’m grateful ![]()

I am so very grateful for this community. Even when I was away, I could feel the love and support and the posts from here helped me through some tough times
I am so very grateful that I did manage to take some time for myself and work on what my body/ mind and spirit needed. Grateful that I am still working on things with optimism and hope. Grateful that I am not taking “no cure” or “this is life” as an answer.
I am so very grateful for my resilience and strength. I am grateful that I was able to make routines and follow them. Make an extremely strict diet for myself and have been able to follow it. Grateful for all the available tools and resources that are helping me figure out what to do an not to do and how to continue on this path in a safe and healthy way (making sure I do not end up with deficincies or malnourished).
I am so very grateful for my family. I love them to bits. SO very grateful for the love and support and encouragement. Grateful that they pushed me to write down all my ailments and symptoms and what I am doing to heal myself. This is allowing everyone to understand me more and I didn’t realize that I had only been providing the info to them in pieces so that I didn’t overwhelm anyone. Grateful for the open communication now
I am so very grateful that my body still allows me to swim. Grateful that all the pools available to me are chlorine free.
I am so very grateful for my recovery tools. Grateful for my support in real life too. Grateful that the universe reached out to me on multiple occasions when I thought I was about to cave in my sobriety. Grateful to still be sober and addiction free. Grateful that I have not added a different addiction in place of my vices as is my usual mo.
I am so very grateful for spring and all the greenery in sight.
I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. I know that I abandoned Him at some points in the past few months as I felt abandoned but I am grateful to know that I don’t know the whole story of Jasmine and this is just a chapter. Grateful to know that He will guide me through it and provide me the tools I need to get by.
I am so very grateful for this space and all of you! Thank you for the loving warm welcome back and for being here for me - for eachother and for yourselves. LOVE YOU ALL!
Wishing everyone a wonderful sober day. Sending you all so much love

I’m grateful to have enough
I’m grateful I pushed myself to do the things I didn’t want to do today
I’m grateful to see @JazzyS is back
I’m grateful for a family and pets
Im grateful I don’t feel the need to drink as I face all my life’s challenges ( though I do sometimes get the urge to throat punch someone
)
I’m grateful to still have plenty to be grateful for
Im grateful the sun finally came out this evening . It was a long gloomy day but maybe I’ll get to catch a sunset

Tuesday mid morning gratitude.
I’m grateful I can pause and write later, I’m grateful my dog shows me when he needs going poo.
I’m grateful for sleeping meds and that I upped my antidepressant. I feel a lot better, rested and I had mojo for outdoor work this morning ![]()
I’m grateful the trailer is full and ready for driving to the waste disposal. I’m grateful I repotted some plants. I’m grateful I harvested pea seeds, they are dry and ready to be returned to Arche Noah.
I’m grateful for open communication and people doing what they can. I’m grateful I do what I can, every day.
I’m grateful I decided yesterday to go into summer mode. This means reducing everything to the minimum, resting, taking good care of myself, doing what I can, leaving the rest, reading a book in the afternoon on the balcony and sleeping a lot. I’m curious what I will achieve and get done in the next 2 months. It doesn’t matter how much or little, I will be content.
I’m so grateful I can live at my pace and my ex not stressing me permanently, I can’t put it into words. Still layers to be shed
@TrustyBird
I’m grateful I stocked up the freezer with healthy convenience food. I notice the absence of disordered eating ![]()
I’m grateful I plan a lot, plans are so helpful to get along properly with work and organizing things.
I’m grateful for the daily call with my widowed friend M, we often find inspiration from what the other is doing. I’m beyond grateful for friends.
I’m grateful @Mtrav0040 shares inspired me to look into dating apps. I made a profile over the last week to explore how this works. It’s not visible yet, just a first step to look into it and do some introspect if I am ready to give it a try. I’m very slow in such decisions and take my time until it feels right. I honestly ask myself questions and want to find out how much time, energy and sharing I am willing to put into it. At the moment it’s very little and I consider it not fair to give it a try when I’m not ready to give new contacts space to grow. So I wait until I’m ready and it feels right.
I’m grateful for my life as it is, for my lovely zoo, for my cozy house, for the A/C and modern amenities, to be honest I’m grateful for everything ![]()

I’m grateful @erntedank was touched by something I said and I’m grateful she tagged me to get my butt over here. I have a lot to be grateful for and realizing that helps a lot.
I’m grateful The Birdman of Palcatraz is stretched out next to me flicking my chin with a lazy tail.
I’m grateful I look a long walk in the sun yesterday.
I’m grateful my legs are a little sore, it reminds me how good it feels to move.
I’m grateful my husband had a craving for pineapple fried rice yesterday and I’m grateful we made a delicious healthy version. I’m grateful I was hungry.
I’m grateful @Tragicfarinelli recommended Hacks and I’m grateful I started watching. It is so much better than I imagined.
I’m grateful I like my current situation, all of it really. Life seems to be moving in a good direction. I’m passing to you TF… ![]()

I’m grateful for clean head - not only sober-wise, but also in terms I’m kind of in a balanced state. This is also a result of the support I’ve been given here ![]()
@Jaybeeem @DanielaJ @SinceIAwoke @james83
There were many others too, I remember and will never forget, it all sums up together.
I’m grateful for God, Jesus and guardian angels, I simply know that by keeping my heart open just a bit can have a very positive impact on the intent and motivations hidden deep inside the ruins ![]()

Uh, I really don’t feel very grateful right this second. But that’s when I realise I should be even more grateful. It’s Hot, forgive my messy and tired mind.
I’m grateful for my family of cats and my long suffering wife.
I’m grateful I have a gym membership, it’s sanity
I’m grateful I love sports
I’m grateful I love nature
I’m grateful I love life (but not this current heat level)
I’m grateful I’m sober, it’s the gift I never expected to hold dear. I feel lucky I get to relive everything with clear open eyes.
I’m grateful I have an interview tomorrow that I’m shit scared about
I’m grateful I jumped on a zoom meeting today with like minded people and actually put my camera on, and spoke a fair bit.
I’m grateful my growth is in confidence and self belief
I’m grateful I can say fuck it and push it aside when I need to.
I’m grateful for all of you guys fighting this fight beside me.
I’m grateful to @TrustyBird for being such a seminal part of my TS life. And I’m grateful she is watching Hacks because she is GOING TO FUCKING LOVE IT. it’s everything a show should be, hard and soft and beautiful; we need love and heart and fierce bitches in life to blend the colours and mute the noise. This show made me feel a lot and I loved it so dearly. Enjoy it Emilie. ![]()

We all need friends and community to come out of our shells, even when we are scared to get out there and show our faces.
I’m grateful that I understand that I am unique, but also just a tiny texture in a fabric that is being human. I’m imperfect and real and that’s good enough, just like millions of others who draw circles to my squares. The struggle is a collective one.
I’m grateful I get the chance to interview tomorrow
I’m grateful it’s 30c by 8am and I’m going to fucking struggle to get thru it, because I’m a fighter and this won’t destroy nor define me.
Anyway, I guess I might hand this over to another bad bitch… @SoberSassy to take the mic, should she wish. No pressure ![]()

I am grateful that VA does as much as they can, as a team, to help Veterans.
I am grateful that almost all my blood, and temp, and blood pressure is super normal. High calcium needs to be checked out but not worried.
Including VA-Land, I already got an initial appointment with HUD-Vash to make sure my process begins this week.

I’m grateful to understand that love really is all that matters.
And I’m grateful for Agatha Christie
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
Yesssss. Breathe. You are awesome and if its meant to be it will be
I’m grateful for clean head - not only sober-wise, but also in terms I’m kind of in a balanced state. This is also a result of the support I’ve been given here ![]()
