I am grateful to be sober and hangover/poison free.
I am grateful that things have settled down a bit and my sig otha is still working on his smoking and drinking. It is nice to see him appearing healthier and present.
I am grateful to be reading ‘the easy way’ by Allen Carr. It has been in my audible library collecting dust for awhile and it is striking cord which is needed.
I am grateful tonight is my last work night and I am planning on making a nice steak dinner tomorrow and I have a diamond painting to work on as well.
I am grateful for my hooman and fur family.
I am grateful to be here posting with the sobah gratidudes.
I’m grateful for you, @Dakotahjae. This is a thought I appreciate, as I’m learning this every day, in the past 5 months sober. Thank you
I’m grateful I went to an amusement park with my two boys yesterday and one of the rides we dubbed “the Vomitron 3000”. The thing spun around and upside down at the same time. I don’t like to be upside down in a ride, for what feels like an eternity. I was grabbing to the seat to the point that my fingernails were digging into my palms in the beginning.
Then I let go. I decided, it makes no difference if I tense up or I relax. This was not unexpected, I went into the ride knowing what it was all about, and with the intention of sharing the experience with my boys.
I’m grateful I learned that letting the ride go its course and getting to the end of it (no one really felt super sick) without so much resistance against it was ok.
I’m grateful I’m learning that discomfort is part of change. Unease is part of growth.
I’m grateful for clarity of mind every day. I’m grateful for my growth in sobriety.

Everyone here sharing their sober journies!
I’m grateful my sobriety allows me to begin the day in a good mood, and to walk my dog and enjoy the sunrise, which was particularly beautiful this morning. There is a couple young people who wait for their school bus near my house, and now we wave at each other when the dog and I pass by. I’m grateful to be able to begin my days in peace and contentment (once I finish grumbling myself out of my warm cozy bed).
Good morning! Hit 1 week milestone today! So grateful to be waking up with a clear head, my family and this app. It’s been an incredible resource to have…literally in my back pocket! Grateful for everyone on here. Hope you all have a great weekend!
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful I can’t think of any other way to be now.
I’m grateful my codependency relapse yesterday was not as bad as the last one. I’m grateful they seem to be getting better easier or less worse.
I’m grateful for all the joy my pets give me. Especially in the morning when it’s just the 7 of us. It’s a very special part of my day.
I’m grateful I didn’t take that last cold pull from my coffee. It’s so gross
I’m grateful for the massage I got yesterday. It was amazing. I’m grateful I think I will and I can get another one next week.
I’m grateful for the sun and cold morning.
I’m grateful to wake up to the Decide To Be Happy ear worm this morning. Music, it saved me
But it drives me crazy
'Cause it forces my eyes, to take a look and see
Got to decide to be happy
‘Cause it don’t always come naturally
Been feelin’ like a stranger in my body
I haven’t been myself in a while, I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
Got to decide to be happy (happy)
'Cause it don’t always come naturally
Misterwives.
Disclaimer: I don’t think you can always just decide to be happy. Sometimes you can. Today I can. So I’m going with it.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for the last two days of perfect and warm yet autumnal weather.
I am happy I finally found the motivation to get a new photo for my ID.
I am grateful I got into some kind of flow over the many questions I have to answer for my teacher training.
I am happy that I’ll see we my friend tomorrow.
I am grateful for the last weeks off. I needed it. Still one week…
Grateful I have the things I need for today
Like food and shelter and electricity
Grateful for friends and family I can talk to about my mental health struggles
Grateful this medication takes away my paranoia and hallucinating episodes that I have had my whole life that leave me mixed up . Not grateful the meds make me tired but I have to accept this side effect and maybe it will go away . Grateful I can trust certain friends and family to tell me what is real and how I was acting before the meds .
I’m grateful I finally accept I need meds the rest of my life but can approach this one day at a time like my alcoholism
Grateful I’m not alone with this and there are other people that are struggling as well
Grateful today seems better than yesterday
Holy shit guys, I’m so grateful to be back here with my original clean date. So …on Wednesday right as I got off work my fiance called me (let’s just call him Rob from now on, my love for him is the same but let’s just call him Rob) with some bad news. He’d gotten kicked out. I knew this was coming, I knew this relapse was going to catch up to him I knew it.
So, my gratitude this morning waking up once again in my very own bed, in my very own room, in my very own clean and sober house is flowing.
My gratitude that I made it through that 28 hours (it felt like so much longer!!) is surging. That I was able to see the bigger picture through that panic is monumental to me. There were some moments I was feeling like I would have done just about anything to get that panic to stop, sitting there on the street with nowhere to go, still in my metal shaving covered work clothes, it was horrificness that is etched in mind. Forever, because I overcame a reservation I didn’t know I had. I had forgotten about feeling that level of panic, that kind of panic and anxiety is why I started using. I’m so grateful that while experiencing the emotions that started my alcoholism that turned into my drug habit I did not relapse. I am so grateful that because I was still clean I was able to get right back into a room. I feel like this place was worth the wait, I feel like it’s my reward for holding onto my recovery through those epically fucked up moments.
Grateful. Still shook up, but grateful to be on the other side.
Pretty cool, actually. Sturdy as all fuck. 0 way to open it early, even by taking out the batteries.
I welcome this new additional safeguard to ensure that I only take my meds as prescribed. The Adderall really tempts me more than any other substance so I’m glad I bit the bullet and ponied up for it.
Already paying dividens as I was getting that familar itch on my way to pick up my rx.
Thanks for mentioning that vegan people doing heavy sport have other “medical baselines” allthough they are doing good and being in good health. Very grateful for your input and sharing Keep going
Grateful I felt good and productive today. Yes, hard work and lots of fun
This feels soooo good.
Grateful for the hot shower afterwards, the purring cats on me while resting, delivery service for a delicious meal (reward myself!) and a good talk with a friend in the evening.
A rare day when I felt life is good as it is.
Thanks for the encouragement and wisdom I find here on TS.
I’m grateful for you, @Dakotahjae. This is a thought I appreciate.
Thank you for your sharing. It helps me with my own struggles and gives me freedom
Today I am thankful for the strength granted to me in order to resist drinking another day.
I am also thankful for this quote coming across my eyes as I’m getting close to my personal best in sobriety. Reminding me that though I have not succeeded in the past, I have not yet failed either. I’ve found plenty of ways that don’t work and the main one was attempting moderation. Moderation is not the key to me and my alcoholism and I’ve found that through trial and error. I believe as AA teaches, as long as I can resist that first drink, today and repeat, that I will be successful. I hope you all find what works for you.
I am grateful for the breezy day.
Grateful to have a forgiving heart.
Grateful for having a green thumb.
High school football and marching bands.
Halloween costumes.
Friday night dinner with my honey.
Looking forward to a nice sober weekend. Hope you guys have one too!
Im grateful to be going to sleep sober tonight.
Im grateful im off tomorrow and i get to be soending the day, or most of it, at the AA and al anon round up.
@maxwell you doing ok out there? I always watch for your gratitudes.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a good sleep, and good coffee when I wake up. I’m grateful I brought up a topic to my husband that I knew would be very touchy and probably cause anger and hurt feelings from him. I’m grateful for Eric’s quote about get in, get done, get out) or something similar). It was going through my head as I broached the issue. I’m grateful it did in fact cause all the anger and hurt feelings I expected, and I didn’t feel like a drink would help me deal with that. I don’t drink anymore. I’m grateful there are other ways to work through uncomfortable feelings. I’m grateful I have a voice now, instead of just going along because I’m to drunk to care, or can’t remember if I already agreed while I was drunk. Even if it caused a little fight, I’m glad I use my voice now.
I’m grateful that today I will get to see my brother from Portland and his girlfriend . They are wonderful people. I’m grateful I have a home to clean, clothes to wash, food and water. I’m grateful for music to help me get the chores done. @M-be-free49 and @I.cant.We.can, I’m thinking of you both
Everyone have a wonderful day
It’s a very special part of my day.
Keep going
