Today I am grateful to be gainfully employed in a job that I love. It can be stressful and overwhelming at times, and I just got notified I have an assesent coming up that I’m nervous about. All in all, I am grateful to be sober, and employed.

I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober while following your will, just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours. I’m grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful to be halfway through day three. I’m grateful for acceptance that allows me to not be very bothered about not getting to start school. I’m grateful that I got a new full time job driving a forklift on the overnight shift 10:30p.m-7a.m. at a a local fruit growers association. I’m grateful that I got paid already as I started a week and a half ago. I’m grateful to not be too tired from adjusting to a night shift schedule, the first three or four days were a little rough. I’m grateful to have the weekend off. I’m grateful my cousin out in British Columbia gave birth to a healthy baby girl on Thursday I think it was. I’m grateful for keeping a clean home. I’m grateful that I can afford to go do my laundry and groceries later today. I am grateful for @Sunflower1 and was thinking about many of you quite often even when I am not reading or posting regularly, walked by a garden full of sunflowers just last night 
I’m grateful for music, humor and laughter.
God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!

I am grateful to be sober and home sober now.
I had a nice afternoon with my friend. We went to the cinemas and I laughed to tears. I needed this.
I feel lonely now. I fancied a glass of wine when I was walking home.
I am grateful I have enough. I am cooking something I like. I am sad right now but I am sober. This has to be enough for tonight.

I’m grateful to be able to spend time having fun with my friends today, without being hungover or dealing with the extra anxiety of alcoholism.

Good morning.
I am grateful for morning readings that seem to come at the right time. I am grateful for well-behaved dogs and coffee in bed. I am grateful for light conversation, laughter, and teasing.
I am grateful that I have surpassed my 1-year goal in recovery. 1,000 days ago, I committed to putting everything I had into recovery for 365 days and if my life hadn’t changed by the end of that year I would hit the fuck it button. I am grateful that I had one more detox in me, I am grateful that I had a tiny spark of spirit left in me. I am grateful that by the end of the 365 days, although I was not experiencing the freedom that many others do, I felt very different in a good way. I am grateful that I am a part of the comma club and I hope that if I keep showing up the way I have been I will be able to stay.
Thanks for the part you play in my recovery. I am very grateful for all of you.

Hi All!
1st, I want to say thank you to @Twizzlers & @Shaunda for reaching out. I’m good 
. I also want to thank another friend for caring (you know who you are). I wouldn’t be here without you all.
I’m grateful for Fall! I love cooler weather, give me 60° -70°s over 80+ any time. 
I’m grateful work has been super busy!
I’m grateful for Max and Riley sleeping peacefully with what looks like smiles on their little faces. 
I’m grateful overall my week has been good, I sometimes step back from here a bit, but usually means my life is full or I fell asleep. 
I’m grateful for all of you!

Hi Trevor, you’re not alone. We all make mistakes at times, but that’s not necessarily bad, it says we’re human. I’m glad you’re here.

Im grateful you had a good week and take time for yourself and step back when you need.
You were one of the first people to impact me on these forums, reach out to me and make me laugh. You made me feel at home and accepted here. I hope i never seem pushy when i tag you, i just like knowing you are still out there. It warms my heart and gives me something to be grateful for

I’m grateful i went to the AA/Al-anon roundup. I saw so many friends that i dont get to see every week.
Im grateful i got to spend a few hours with a friend in the program.
Im grateful i got to hug my sponsor.
Im grateful i kept my mouth shut when it was appropriate for me to do so, wish i could manage that more often.
Im grateful i am slowly coming into accptance on some things. Acceptance follows action and that action requires a lot of effort on my part. Why does it always have to be my part lol
Im grateful for a simple program, im grateful for reminders that its a simple program and there is no need for me to complicate it.
Im grateful for all of your shares, especially on days when im struggling to find gratitude for myself.
Im grateful to see Brian and Maxine both posting today.

OMG Shaunda, I love you, will you marry me? 
I’m so touched by the love I’ve received, everything I respond to is from my heart, always. I feel I’m a good judge of character, and have been lucky enough to have people here I call friends. You are one of them girl! I’m the lucky one.

Today I’m checking in at lunchtime, I’m very very tired in the evening. Today I’m grateful for warm cats sleeping on me to comfort me on a rainy sunday. Grateful the medication helps to deal with the sad situation in my family break up and keeps me quite calm, not crying all the day Grateful for my cozy house, allthough I fear the roof needs to be repaired completely. Some other things too. After 16 years the cooker has only three functioning cooking plates left. I feel completely overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done, repaired, decided. I’m grateful I still have my house, I miss the farm and my husband and the good sides of our life together. Grateful to be able to come here and vent.

Today I’m grateful to myself for managing to spend an entire very long day with new and old friends in mixed social situations, some drinking and some not, without feeling like picking up and without feeling (much, if I’m honest there was a very slight sting once) resentment at others for being able to and choosing to have a drink. I had fun, I laughed a lot, and I got to know some of my boyfriend’s friends a little better as well.
Today is my 11th anniversary with my boyfriend as well, and I’m so grateful to have found him, and built this home and family (we just have a dog but still) with him. I’m grateful he’s stuck through me with a whole crapload of drunken shenanigans and sh+tshows, and that he’s sticking with me and supporting my choice to be sober. He’s a pretty cool dude!

@TMAC I have much respect for everything youve said. Excellent idea with the safe. I’m in a very similar spot with the man I’ve been engaged to for over a year. Hes back out and I actually lost my engagement ring. If that’s not a message from the universe I don’t know what is. It’s sad and hard and I miss him every moment but I won’t put my recovery on the line. So I’m with you there and I’m sorry. I know how hard it is.

Billy congrats on 5 months. That’s phenomenal. You’ve accrued so much peace and love along the way, you should feel very proud.
This morning I’m grateful to wake up in my bed, in Mt quiet house with a day to get ready for the work week how I need to.
I’m very grateful for the couple of really good friends I have in recovery. Grateful to get to spend some time with them yesterday and hit the late night meeting after dinner even though it was past my house curfew, they are cool and said if you’re at a meeting you can be half hour late. No big deal. I’m grateful for this trust, grateful that I’m living so that I can be trusted. I’m actually very grateful that I’ve had an okay time focusing only on my self and my recovery. I’m grateful the guilt over him being out there is not eating me. I’m grateful I don’t have that hardship right now. I feel like it’s a little gift, because I don’t know if I could handle that right now. I’m grateful for the TS mantra this morning. “You have to make it through some hard days to earn some of the best days of your life.”
Wow is that true. So I fought through those days I’m sitting here clean and I’m definitely eager for those best days to come. 
I’m grateful and excited to look up a recovery Dharma meeting, grateful for all the goodness that is out there waiting for me to find and explore.
I’m grateful I have what I need. @Bluekoolaid I’ve also been without anything for much of the past 5 years so shelter and food and a little money for the few things I will need this upcoming week while all my stuff is still locked away is a beautiful thing. I am grateful.
