Everyone here sharing their sober journies!
Iām 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. Iām 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. Itās been an incredible resource to haveā¦literally in my back pocket! Grateful for everyone on here. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Iām grateful Iām sober.
Iām grateful I canāt think of any other way to be now.
Iām grateful my codependency relapse yesterday was not as bad as the last one. Iām grateful they seem to be getting better easier or less worse.
Iām grateful for all the joy my pets give me. Especially in the morning when itās just the 7 of us. Itās a very special part of my day.
Iām grateful I didnāt take that last cold pull from my coffee. Itās so gross
Iām grateful for the massage I got yesterday. It was amazing. Iām grateful I think I will and I can get another one next week.
Iām grateful for the sun and cold morning.
Iām 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
āCause it donāt always come naturally
Been feelinā like a stranger in my body
I havenāt been myself in a while, Iām sorry (Iām sorry)
Got to decide to be happy (happy)
'Cause it donāt always come naturally
Misterwives.
Disclaimer: I donāt think you can always just decide to be happy. Sometimes you can. Today I can. So Iām 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 Iāll see we my friend tomorrow.
I am grateful for the last weeks off. I needed it. Still one weekā¦
Holy shit guys, Iām so grateful to be back here with my original clean date. So ā¦on Wednesday right as I got off work my fiance called me (letās just call him Rob from now on, my love for him is the same but letās just call him Rob) with some bad news. Heād 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 didnāt know I had. I had forgotten about feeling that level of panic, that kind of panic and anxiety is why I started using. Iām 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 itās 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 Iām 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 āmedical baselinesā 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.
Iām 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 Iām 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. Iāve found plenty of ways that donāt work and the main one was attempting moderation. Moderation is not the key to me and my alcoholism and Iāve 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,
Iām grateful for a good sleep, and good coffee when I wake up. Iām 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. Iām grateful for Ericās quote about get in, get done, get out) or something similar). It was going through my head as I broached the issue. Iām grateful it did in fact cause all the anger and hurt feelings I expected, and I didnāt feel like a drink would help me deal with that. I donāt drink anymore. Iām grateful there are other ways to work through uncomfortable feelings. Iām grateful I have a voice now, instead of just going along because Iām to drunk to care, or canāt remember if I already agreed while I was drunk. Even if it caused a little fight, Iām glad I use my voice now.
Iām grateful that today I will get to see my brother from Portland and his girlfriend . They are wonderful people. Iām grateful I have a home to clean, clothes to wash, food and water. Iām grateful for music to help me get the chores done. @eph-M-eral and @I.cant.We.can, Iām thinking of you both
Everyone have a wonderful day
Thanks Billy, unfortunately Iām not feeling heās my fiance anymore. Not at the moment. He chose to go back out. Itās breaking my heart, especially when I literally passed him on the street yesterday morning when I was walking to a meeting. But Iām even more grateful for my recovery at this point. Grateful for my 191 days. He got himself kicked out of his house last Wednesday, well US kicked out because I was staying there while I was waiting for my room to become available. I was literally on the street with nothing for about 24 hours. But because I was clean AND STAYED clean I got my room opened up right away. He chose to remain out there, he had a place, a diversion Center he could have gone to and gone back to treatment, but we all know how that shit hijacks your brain. So grateful for prayer and faith and hope. Without this Iād be in a dismal spot. But I can only control myself so myself Iām focusing on.
Iām so very grateful recovery clicked for me. Iām very, very, grateful that I will do whatever I must to keep myself from doing any drug, picking up any substance. I KNOW where it leads!! And Iām not willing to go there anymore! Iām so grateful to have woken up in my bed, in my awesome room, in my fabulous new house. Words cannot describe my gratitude for being safe and being clean. Grateful I get to go back to the new job on Monday. Grateful I pulled it all back in so quickly and will continue my life and my recovery. That was an absolutely terrifying 24 hours.
Grateful to be back with all of you. Itās a wonderful sense of normal and calm to check in with you all.
Grateful I got to hang out with my girls last night. Grateful I get to see them again today.
