Morning,
Today I’m grateful for another first, New Year’s Eve. I was gratefully in bed just after 10.30pm.
I’m grateful to read the shares from around the world, we’re all in this together.
I’m grateful for a quiet life these days, just how I like it

So much to be grateful for, this last day of the year. I’m glad I came back, this year, back to my recovery. Having tried them both, this is the right path for me - the only way to actually live a life worth living. I’m grateful to know and accept this.
I’m grateful for the time off and all the rest I had. Real rest. I’m beginning to feel ready to go back into the world!
I’m grateful for all of you Gratidudes. This year, no matter what it brings, may we have eyes to see the abundance that our recoveries offer. May our thoughts be constantly interrupted by new gratitude! May there be joy lurking in the corners of each day. Sounds good to me.
I’m grateful for another day. 
Happy New Year! (in 2 hrs here. can’t wait up. lol.)
So many of you said things that landed in me so deeply!
Yes, @Twizzlers, I’m grateful for @Dakotahjae’s words “I’m very grateful I pick my hard”. There will still be some hard in the year ahead, no question. But we picked the right and worthwhile hard, hey?
Grateful for @Bootz’ poem - and that photo! What a place to bring in a new year. Reservations for next year please. 
Soooooooo grateful @Soberbilly, that your suicide attempt failed. That you’re here on earth and here with us. You are a gift. 
Grateful for all these milestones! 90 days @Jon_Ian! And coming up on 9 months @desert_rose! 3 years @Its_me_Stella! And anyone else I forgot
I’ll be grateful to hear when the Gus bus arrives, @dazercat…
Of course, a shout out of gratitude to one of the original dudes @I.cant.We.can. It’s never too late, friend.

Double-dipping on gratitude here…
I’m wicked super grateful for all the fantastic mods and all they do, everyday but especially these busy days. In fact, I’m so grateful I’m not going to personally tag all of them. 
Thank you, Mods, for moderating, for your words of encouragement, and for so often leading by example.

Thank you, M! This time of year sure keeps us busy. I’m grateful there’s enough of us spread across many time zones.

I’ll try to catch up today here.
For now I am grateful to be sober.
I went to bed early as usual and slept like a baby after I looked into online dating app which overwhelmed me and I broke down somehow.
But waking up with a clear mind, a new day is always rewarding.
I am grateful I have enough.

This does sound good, I’m gratefull that through all the hard and dark I can constantly see cracks of light, break-through. I’m grateful that I notice this and cherish it and appreciate all the light in my life… I know there is more I’m only just starting to realise … There’s is still so much to see all around us as we grow.
I’m so gratefull I see with me eyes open and not blinded by addiction still. I’m also gratefull to understand I still have a long way to go, I’m gratefull those cracks of light guide my path and I’m gratefull I don’t walk this journey alone 
Happy new year blessings to all

Gratitude on the first day of the year 
I’m grateful I had a good night’s sleep. Went to bed at 10 pm and woke up refreshed at 5.30 a.m.
I’m grateful I did my own little silent firework to welcome the new year before sunrise 
I’m grateful for the beautiful dawn today
I’m grateful I threw away the advent wreath and did all pet chores. I’m grateful this all happened before the stomach bug set in! It’s heavily spreading around here, doesn’t last long (1-2 days) and I start the new year purged intestinely 
I’m grateful I’m well stocked on toilet paper. I’m grateful I had no plans for cooking today. I won’t cook at all
I’m grateful for hot water bottles, purring cats who made me fall asleep again by their calming presence, for laughing about the situation because it IS funny and for sharing this fun with friends, they understand the joke and give sarcastic and funny comments about what I will sh… on this year I’m grateful we all have kind of a good black humour.
I’m grateful for a good start into 2023

Awwww, I love your post
It reminds me to take my antidepressants later, when the upset stopped (already doing better).

I’m grateful that my sobriety allows me to look within and take note of the things I still need to work on about myself. It keeps my ego quiet so I can then work on those things

Happy New Year! Once again I did not even try to make it to midnight and in that I was successful. The key to my recent years of health and happiness has been much improved care of myself. A big part of that is excellent sleep. So I was all tucked in and happily snoozing by my normal 9 pm. All snuggled up with my hubby and chihuahua and glad to be home.
We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation in Tybee and brought home some cute Tybee stuff for our beach house porch in Lake Mills. We ate so much seafood that I’m growing gills and we had so much fun walking on the beach that I can still hear the waves in the back of my mind.
We are at the start of the new year today and I’m grateful to be healthy and happy and have a loving and safe home. I’m grateful to have a lot less stress in my life than I did a few years ago and to have work that brings me challenge, a little frustration and a lot of reward. I’m grateful to have a loving mate and some old dogs and a cat to keep me company. One of my favorite parts of traveling at the holidays is to see more of the world and reach the determination that my home is best. And once again I get to start a new year with peace of mind that I am right where I should be. This morning I have a clear mind and a rested body and am ready to start 2023 with a quiet day at home with the pets and the hubby.
In a few weeks I have an important birthday and my personal reflection is that I’ve learned a helluva lot about how to make my own joy. And for that, I am grateful and humbled by all that I have experienced in my life.
I don’t make new year resolutions because I’m pretty occupied with taking care of myself and my people one day at a time. So far so good. I wish you all a peaceful and happy new year finding your way to your joy.

Happy New Year lovely humans
A lot has changed inside me this past year. I’ve never been afraid of change. Living all over the country or new jobs. I’ve had lots. I spent a lot of time changing things hoping I’d hit the magic combination. The one that would finally make me happy and whole. The missing puzzle piece. NYC/college student. San Fran/ manager of an artsy coffee shop. Denver/ manger of a really fun brunch place. These were my identifiers. This city, this job were the change I needed. Turns out none of that was the case. I drank lots filling the void and hurt that each new place, job, partner filled temporally.
September of 2021 was the last drink I had and finally I decided to change something. Not where I was geographically located or what my
job was. I decided to change my habits. Starting with just one. That was 461 days ago as of today 
During that time I have changed lots of habits. I started doing things that showed myself love. I processed years and years of childhood trauma. Of my own mistakes. Then one by one, in my own time, I began to forgive them all. I’m still working on it but each time it feels like I am new. Lighter. On the first day of 2023 I do not feel stuck. Or lost. For the first time that I can remember in my adult life- I feel home.
I am grateful for this community and that it’s filled with people who share their lives and challenges. I’m grateful for the possibility and magic in every day. I am grateful for life, just as is, with all its imperfections and beauty. I am grateful for how far I’ve come. That right here is exactly where I belong. I am grateful
Happy 2023

I’m grateful my 40 days of listing ten different gratitudes or whatever the hell I was doing is over. I think I nailed it! I’m grateful that exercise made me think so hard my waking hours about what I could list that I was grateful for and not repeat anything. I’m grateful I came up with so many different things to be grateful for and half of them probably didn’t make the list.
I’m grateful that exercise made me feel even more grateful and more ”Present,” during the day.
I don’t even think I mentioned how grateful I am for Insight Timer.
The size 16 Keen Clogs that showed up in the mail fit perfectly and so did my New Keen boats. I mean boots .
Im grateful I got happy feet. That’s almost better than going to a meeting.
Im really grateful and excited about my New Years devotional plan. Excited and grateful I finished my 2 daily readers and I get to pick a new daily reading devotional plan. And I’m grateful I got a really good exciting plan for 2023 mornings.
Im grateful I can go back to just being grateful for my coffee. My coffee that stays hot for 80 minutes 
Or a cat on my lap. Or the Ol Burner! Or like right now I can be grateful my lap is unencumbered.
Im grateful for the pelting rain on my kitchen skylight. We are suppose to get up to 20 inches of snow. But right now it could be flooding rain. The weather, just like alcohol and the people dearest to me in my life, I have no control over. None! Zero! Zip! Nada! And I’m gratefully learning it’s actually better that way.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon and I’m grateful for you 
Ya you! 
If Brian isn’t gonna say it @I.cant.We.can Then I’m stealing it!
Happy 2023. Let’s be grateful for the good things that are coming!!
