Iām grateful the sun shone today. And the temperature was so pleasant. Iām grateful for the long walk I took late this afternoon.
Iām grateful for my meeting tonight and for my Sangha. Iām grateful for one of the shares, kind of like Billyās above, that had me in tears. Iām grateful for the sacredness of life, our lives, and that we can and do recover. Iām grateful for the changes that recovery brings.
Iām grateful for a new year. Iām grateful Iām not making weird resolutions like how many glasses of wine I will restrict myself to, or no drinking on weeknights, or anything else unattainable. Iām grateful I know that drinking is black and white for me. When it comes to some of the grey stuff of life, Iām grateful to practice living with more intentionality.
Iām grateful for my work. Iām also grateful I have one more day before I go back to my desk! Iām grateful for the break that this holiday was, a chance to replete my dwindling reserves of energy and put the gas back in my soul tank. Was getting a bit too close to āEā. Intending for that not to happen again.
Iām grateful the cheese drawer is now empty and most of the other December-ish food is gone. It was good, but itās gone, and Iām ready for routine again. I might even try to migrate back to morning gratitude.
Iām grateful for another day.

Thank you so much @Dazercat @Soberbilly @Cjp @Twizzlersā¦I was reflecting on this milestone yesterday, grateful for every day since April 1st, 2022. Itās not something I talk about with friends and family or expect any recognition. Youāve been part of my journey for long enough to know that I live in a place where I shouldnāt have had access to alcohol to begin with. So when I not only had access to endless bottles and but also developed a dependency, to dig myself out of it was not easy.
It started with me realizing that I HAD to dig myself out of it. I HAD to put in the hard work, find out what worked for ME in this instance, and work on it one day at a time. I was and am responsible for my sobriety. I donāt expect anyone in real life to acknowledge it, much less congratulate me.
That saidā¦it feels incredible to have your kudosā¦because you KNOW what this is like. You are my recovery tribe. I may not know you all in person, but I feel like I know your struggles, your personalities, a bit of whatās in your hearts and soulsā¦Itās a very important connection to me.
Grateful for you, I really am.

I love that pic,love your share,love you Emm. Iām grateful to share this journey with you. Liike Jerry said,what a long strange trip its been!
Crosstalk warning: my Sangha,wow!. I have 3 groups online I kinda bounce around in. Gratefully see it as one fairly large Sangha. Grateful my newest group is small and feels a bit more intimate. Two of the I think 17 souls are already in phone contact with me. So effin grateful for that contact. Iām gratefully weary and at times discouraged at how most everyone prefers texting to speaking. Ok I get that weāre all connected via the virtual world making face-to-face often impossible. Do we agree that body language,facial expressions and more are a huge part of real communication between we naked apes? So next best is voice where at least inflection is detectable. Right? Iām frustrated and not always gratefully. Sigh. Itās cool,just a lil ranting,forgive me. Iām grateful for the opportunity that the next 364 days lays at our feet. Our,not mines. Weāll thrive in togetherness. Iām giganticly grateful to grok this in fullness. Love yāall Namaste

Good morning all,
Iām grateful for a quiet and easy start to 2023. Iām grateful for the cloudy, rainy weather weāve been having. Iām grateful that I read @Cjp saying she wants to be humble and welcoming to newcomers because it could easily be us. Iām gonna join in on that. Usually i kinda dread the influx of new people and all that comes with it, but Iām going to be grateful that they found us, and we can help. Iām grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Iām grateful I havenāt had a drink in 3 fucken years!!
Iām grateful Iām actually kinda speechless this morning.
Iām grateful when I knocked over my coffee cup it was just filled with hot water, heating my cup, before I poured my coffee in it. So Iām grateful that was an easy clean up.
Iām grateful Iāve never thought of 
Just one? Iām grateful Iām practical and know in my entire 45 years of drinking That Never Happened!
And Iām grateful Iāve never had the thought āNo one would know.ā Iād fucken know and I couldnāt live with myself. Iām grateful Dazercat canāt lie. Never could. Never will. Iām grateful I got too many tells. So people would know.
Iām grateful for all of you and the support I get here.
Iām grateful for Madonna. Like my first and second sober birthday ear worms.
Feels so good inside.
Sobriety
Get your minds out of the gutter 
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didnāt know how lost I was
Until I found you
Sobriety
Love you guys

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful the first week I never stressful at work as most people have the first week off.
I am grateful for this as my mind needs some kind of restart, too.
I am grateful drinking is no longer an option. Sometimes I think, fuck I cannot give advice to newcomers.
I am grateful that what I do is probably working on my recovery. I am grateful it doesnāt feel like work.
I am grateful for fresh air.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful I am getting better at letting go. I used to get caught up in things so hard, like a dog biting and not letting off of the thing he caught. Thatās how my mind feels sometimes. I am grateful my mind can rest some times. More often at least.
I am grateful that a new morning often solves things and doesnāt make it worse.
