Morning,
So grateful to wake up without regret.
Grateful to wake up feeling as I’m supposed to, without a thick head.
Grateful to be present, not miss things.
Grateful to be able to pick up my daughter later, in the past I’d be miffed coz it’d eat into my drinking time. Grateful I can remember conversations and plans.
So so grateful my life is like it is

I’m grateful I had the sense yesterday, when I was too wound up and angry, to hang up the phone with my husband and with my kid, before I said something mean or hurtful that I don’t really mean. I’m grateful I apologized before bed to both on being short tempered, and explained the day took all I had. I’m grateful I can step away when things are too much. I’m grateful I’m not too proud to apologize when I’m in the wrong. I’m grateful I have clarity on my emotions, and they are not muddled by alcohol.
I’m grateful I woke up early, and then woke up the family, after my coffee and checking that all backpacks were ready. We all had sports to attend to. I’m grateful I’m healthy and can run again without being dehydrated and hungover. The race was easy today. I could have pushed harder. I can’t recall having this feeling all the years when I had wine the night before a race. I’m grateful my boys see me walk the walk, not just talk the talk about sports. My youngest said last night he didn’t want to wake up early for the competition. i said I didn’t either (for mine). He said “we’re both doing things we don’t want to do tomorrow” and I responded “yep. but we’ll be happy we did, after. and we’ll have a great afternoon relaxing and enjoying the rest of the weekend”. and he said “I think you’re right” 
I’m grateful I’m present for my family. I’m grateful I’m present for my buddies when I compete. I’m grateful I can dream of new challenges, because I have time again (that before was taken away by drinking and sleeping it off/nursing a hangover)
I’m just so grateful today.
Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!

I am grateful that I get to experience the spiritual awakening of others. I am grateful for my partners share at homegroup last night and when he said “I’m grateful that I can feel gratitide now.” I knew exactly what I was witnessing. I am grateful for the safe place I have to be vulnerable and share what is really going on with me. I am grateful that I feel loved, supported and definitely not alone.
I am grateful for another oceanside sunrise and the sounds of whales in the mist. I can hear their tail slaps and big splashes as they breach. I am so lucky to live where I do. I am grateful for the damp ocean air on my face and the whispy clouds in the sky this morning. Every morning looks different and its a great reminder that no day is the same.
I am grateful for simple tools in recovery like meditation, prayer, stepwork, reaching out, meetings, service work… they keep me clean, yes, but also sane.

I’m grateful while scrolling for the gratitude thread I saw a familiar avatar that I hadn’t seen for awhile and it made me smile @anon9289869 
Good morning Jess I hope you are well 
I’m grateful for the wonderful day we had yesterday going up to the snow bowl riding the gondola.
I’m grateful my wife was concerned about me sitting at a bar having lunch and wanted to make sure I was ok with that. It was the only logical place to get lunch. As all the other tables were packed or dirty and the bar was empty.
I’m grateful for the round of cats I’ve had last night and this morning. Alice at 1. Mavy at 5. Daisy at 6. Back to Mavy during coffee at 7. And Alice again now. I’m grateful one cat is just not enough. We did that once. It didn’t work. Alice couldn’t handle the job 
I’m grateful I don’t have to cook tonight.
I’m grateful I got our menu planned for the next week.
I’m grateful for the little bit of winterizing I was getting done yesterday. There’s still more to do. A little at a time. I’m grateful my back don’t hurt.
Good morning Stella 
I’m grateful to be a non drinker or a sober guy.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful I belong in my Al-Anon home group in spite of my differences.
I’m grateful for you all. This thread. This gratitude practice. The TS forum. You all saved my life.
At the end of the day, what really matters is that you’ve done your best, your loved ones are well, and you’re thankful for all you have.

Hi All!
I’m grateful I’m sober and have been staying sober. I lost all my history when I uninstalled/reinstalled. I was annoyed that the app would freeze up if I tried to change my background display.
It’s all good. Milestones are awesome, but I’ve decided I don’t need them to feel good about how far I’ve come. And if I slip after 40 days or whatever #, I’m going to celebrate the 40 days, not beat myself up over the slip. And yes, I have ‘reset’ several times. It’s all in my mindset, and I have enough to worry about in my life than a consecutive number.
I’m not trying to moderate, I know I can’t. I think if we could, we wouldn’t be here.
Before I found you, I was heavily drinking daily for more than a decade. Now I can go weeks without thinking too much about it. For that, I’m grateful! 
Shout out to a few friends, I wouldn’t have got this far without you! 
@Miranda @Twizzlers @Cjp @Shaunda @Butterflymoonwoman @I.cant.We.can @Its_me_Stella @Dazercat @SassyBoomer I know I’ve missed some people, sorry about that. 
Take care my TS friends!

Grateful I made it through another day sober. Grateful for having the basics and everything I need. Grateful I spend some time exploring off road with my electric bike. Grateful my roommate who does catering had leftover food. Grateful for this show peaky blinders which I’m watching for the second time. Grateful for the lessons I learn from the different characters or relating. Grateful it’s 2022 and not the 1920s … even though I think I would have survived any time period anywhere if I had to . Grateful for zoom meetings when my anxiety is acting up. Grateful my big book came in the mail. Grateful for Mother Nature

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for some nice chats with my new colleagues. I am grateful to discover that not all have kids and a family. I talked with one and she is out often hiking.
I am grateful I got some things done yesterday from my checklist. It gives me some stability atm.
I am grateful I went to the meeting of the people living in my apartment building last night. It took over 2 hours and it was interesting how 2 or 3 people can influence the atmosphere negatively. I was scolded to not having put the karton correctly. After having lunch I went down to put it into the boxes ‘correctly’ and thought: there are still people there so I just say hi. Meeeeee, what a great success. I joined their after meeting for half an hour and it was so nice. We were discussing about putting some raised bed in the garden instead of flowers noone is taking care of. I am grateful I went down again against my avoidance tendancy. I am happy that after this another couple texted me to assure me that not all people in the house are like the ones always complaining.
I am grateful I could take so much space here. You could scroll by or read. I’ll read later here.
I am grateful to be sober.

My heart goes out to you and your family billy. The babies pick up so much behavior from watching the parent and from suffering from the parent behavior. I know how hard that is to be in a position where you are powerless and can do nothing. Not nothing, im ever grateful you and your daughter have a relationship where she can call on and trust you with this. You are helping her process it all. As difficult as it is for dad/grandpa to hear those things, you are her safe space. that is the beauty in this ugliness.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for the clouds that look painted into the sky as the sun rises. I’m grateful for my home, and my family. I’m grateful that all feelings pass. I’m ready for my grouchy, angry feelings to move along. I’m grateful I have the day to get stuff done, at my pace. I’m grateful it’s cooling down here. I’m grateful that I’ve gotten brave enough with my cooking to try making cranberry orange scones today. If they don’t turn out, I’ll just keep trying until I get it. I’m grateful I speak more lovingly to myself now. I’m grateful I do love myself now.
@Shaunda, @Soberbilly , my heart goes out to you guys, it hurts when your family hurts. I’m glad you both found your way here, and have support.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Good morning y’all
I’m grateful I’m getting real use to this not drinking business. I’m grateful I don’t have crushing hangovers anymore. I’m grateful I can always drive home from dinner at night and not even think about how much blood is in my alcohol system 
I’m grateful when Alice comes out of the bedroom after her breakfast; she starts yelling at me if I’m not sitting in my chair, follows me around, and waits until I get back in my chair to jump up on my lap and settle in on me.
I’m grateful all the cats and dogs are fed and happy.
I’m grateful I hear my wife in the bedroom getting up and I’ll be happy to see her. I’m grateful for Al-Anon because I know she hasn’t changed; I’m grateful, possibly, it’s working and my attitudes are changing.
I’m grateful for the wicked sunset view at dinner last night. They unexpectedly put us outside when we wanted inside 
It was cold but the heaters were on and the sunset mountain view was amazing. I’m grateful the prime rib didn’t give me a headache.
I’m sorry my wife’s back is hurting this morning. But I’m grateful she never ever takes my advice and I suggested ice and Advil anyway. As I always do, and I didn’t let my feelings get hurt or even think about my feelings after I suggested it. It may sound stupid, but this is big for me, and I’m grateful I’m recognizing I’m getting better. So fucking what! If ice and Advil always helps me and my back pain and she never does what I do! So what!! And it’s the right thing to do. Oh, and of course she isn’t doing what I suggested 
“How Important Is It?”
I’m grateful for you all. And I just love this quote this morning on my Todays Hope app. How appropriate for ME Today. This morning.
Let’s Grab this sober weekend by the balls and have a good one

Grateful for the weekend, so grateful for time to sleep and recover.
Grateful I’m headed down to pick up my youngest, grateful life is picking up where I left it off, and then improving even in so many areas. It’s definitely been a struggle changing every single facet of my life at 6 months into my recovery, I blame the Moldavite but I’m grateful for it at the same time. I’m grateful that it’s drawn me closer to my higher power, and that it’s shown me where I need to get stronger and how much strength I already had.
Grateful, so mf’ing grateful for my 205 days. Starting my 2nd chance life was no easy feat and I’m only trying to do this once. So very very grateful that recovery has clicked for me. That it resonates with my heart and soul. I don’t feel like I’ve ever truly been in harmony with life in my 42 years until I got into recovery. For this, I am grateful.
Grateful I did what I did yesterday -that I got to attend a brand new NA meeting, got to support someone’s dream, someone’s new homegroup - and that I kept my recovery in the forefront of my mind. I’m grateful I’m doing the same thing today so I can hit the pillow clean and sober and wake up to another day, clean.
