Today I’m grateful for my cozy house, the weekly to-do-list that helps gaining back structure, purring furballs, the dishwasher, the fresh laundry. It’s ok to use the amount of energy to just try and make it through the day. After 2 hours on the computer my energy was gone (f$#%%^ing nuts PC making only bullshit). Grateful for yesterday’s leftovers. I joined the cats and we spent the afternoon on the couch. Grateful for friends who care about me
Grateful God woke me up today
Grateful to mow my parents lawn and have something to feel good about and accomplish
Grateful for sweating and natural endorphins
Grateful I already have a few gallons of water because all the stores are sold out . Grateful my parents have a Generator and live 2 miles away . I do believe in preparing not Panicking … as a 15 year Floridian you never know with these storms .
Grateful for my electric bike and the Exploring I did today
Grateful for birds , rabbits , raccoons and other animals
Grateful to be moving forward and putting my relapse behind me but learning from my mistakes
Hi,
I’ve not posted for a while, not sure why really because I’ve been here reading and liking.
I’m grateful for not drinking today or wanting to.
I’m grateful to read so many amazing milestones lately, they make me think that I can do it too. I can do it, I am doing it.
I’m grateful for good sleep.
I’m grateful my little family is doing ok, working hard, jogging along together nicely.
I’m grateful, oh so grateful for the peace of my bedroom. 3 adult kids are noisy when they’re together bantering and joking and winding each other up, in a nice way of course. Their noise helps me appreciate the quiet of my own company.
I’m grateful that my partner downloaded a sobriety app this morning, I didn’t suggest it, he just did it on his own. He’s on 77 days and likes to point out all the benefits. I’m grateful he likes to talk about it and is really positive about being sober.
Grateful to be here
Back for another dose of gratitude, because why not?
Hey @Bootz thanks for the shout out
Im greatful @PinkyP s partner joined on the sobriety journey and is excited. Thats awesome!
Im greatful @Bluekoolaid is as prepared as can be for this upcoming Florida storm
Im greatful the main intersection by my house is finally open after nearly a year of construction
Im greatful for leading my first successful budget meeting
Im greatful a rude program director didnt faze me. Sadly her poor behavior is tolerated
Im greatful i got home early and can relax a little before going to my ladies aa meeting
Im greatful the hubby is picking up Boscoe from grandmas
Im greatful to be employed and enjoy my job
The eve of my first year of sobriety has me feeling reflective and grateful.
I’m grateful I found this community 364 days ago.
I’m grateful it was my safety rope in a time where I needed it most.
I’m grateful for the people it brought into my life.
The lonely, sometimes unbearable nights, this community got me through.
The ways in which my life have changed since my last drink are sometimes hard to grasp. I have to slow down and celebrate them.
I’m grateful for my beautiful life that I have fought to open my eyes and my heart back to.
I’m grateful that although this is a trail that I will walk forever, that I can now see how spectacular it is. Even when it seems difficult. Even when it is difficult.
I’m grateful for the wisdom of my heart.
I’m grateful love and kindness are our super powers. That when we heal ourselves by some bit of magic it helps others heal too
I’m grateful that I’ve found my voice. I’m grateful I’m not scared to not fit in. I’m grateful that I get to write my story. I’m grateful for all the love in my life. I’m grateful I opened my eyes to see it.
I am grateful that we do have the ability to change. And no one can do it for us, but us.
How powerful and empowering that is.
I am grateful I woke up. I’m grateful for my imperfect life. I’m just grateful to be here.
Love you gratitdudes
Congratulations on 1 year!
Im grateful for our caring vet.
Im grateful for the gentleness of my new therapist and my willingness to hear him out today. Im grateful that i could accept what he had to say. I dont know that im grateful i have to keep seeing him and keep fixing me, its always me, thankfully its me, but i will find gratitude for it down the line.
Im grateful for my sponsor and her experience and suggestions even when they are hurtful to me. Who would have thought being told to find something that interests me could be hurtful but it is when you dont have any interests. Ive never had a hobby or done things with thw gals so to speak. I dont know what else to do besides work, family and AA right now.
Im grateful that i am going to sleep sober tonight. I dont really want to. I would much rather numb the traumatic memories of the past, but tonight i choose not to do that. I asked my HP this morning for help and i belive my HP has given me the willingness to make it another day.
Im trying to be grateful for the struggle, i know that at the end of the struggle comes relief. But the struggle has been going on for a couple of months now with only moments of reprieve and its wearing me down. Those moments of reprieve are really really peaceful though and i look forward to them.
Thank you for all of your shares
I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful that thinking of drinking doesn’t mean I will run to the next store anymore. Thinking and feeling doesn’t mean drinking nowadays (at least alcohol )
I am grateful for my new home. I am grateful for the remaining days off. I am grateful I don’t feel stressed to do things. It’s autumn, rain and very windy. My goal for today or tomorrow will be changing the tires of my E-Bike.
I am grateful for friends. I am grateful for a call I had the other day with my friend. It was no big excitement, I just got my twisted thoughts and feelings out and it was better afterwards. Like a miracle somehow.
I am happy I watched ‘i feel pretty’ last night.
I am grateful I have enough.
This morning I don’t have time to read the other gratitudes but I’m super grateful I’ll get to do it on break. This might be a great way to keep my spirits up at work. I’m grateful to wake up with a positive attitude, a feeling like I’m gonna make it and I’m gonna make it joyous. No matter what.
Grateful I remembered my Maui Habit as I woke up before my feet ever hit the floor. It makes a difference. Grateful that I forced myself to turn the lights out at 9 pm, grateful I feel better rested for this 2:30 wake up work day. Grateful for a fighting spirit and a fighting chance.
Grateful for your calming posts, Billy.
Shaunda @Shaunda you’re in my prayers. Praying for a break, for a fill up for you.
@Callie99 congrats on one year. This is phenomenal.
Good morning sober fam,

My hubby and his sobriety
Boscoe and all his hairy cuteness
Waking up before my alarm
Hot coffee

Fellowship
Love
My job and feeling fullfilled
My gratitude practice
Everyone here sharing their sober journies
Let us go out and slay the day soberly!
Even though I haven’t replied, I’m grateful for all of your “hey Emm”s!
I’m very grateful for this place.
I’m grateful I’ve learned from my past. It’s been a month of little time and big stress, professional spilling into personal. I have a deadline of Sept.30. I could hear the “are you sure you can do this?” inner voice firing up. The same one that tells me I’m thirsty. So I pared down life to work, Recovery Dharma, yoga, and as much time in nature as possible (not hard - some of my work is in the field. rarely do i think of a drink surrounded by all the trees and plants and birds and bear poop galore!) I’m pretty tired but have time off next week to rest. I have mixed emotions and support to deal with them. I have a freezer full of late season blueberries and a wet tent! I have 82 days sober. I’m grateful for all of it.
I’m grateful next week I will join you all again on the daily! From my heart to yours
I’m grateful for this gratitude practice.
My morning coffee
A great nights sleep.
A busy morning yesterday taking Minnie to the vet.
My Pilates workout.
Alice subcutaneous fluids success.
My fire in the fireplace.
My yellow beanie It always makes me think of a special friend
My meditation practice, even though I fall asleep many times during it. “I must of needed it.”
Baby videos.
My bestest childhood friend just had his second granddaughter.
Lunches at home.
And a huge realization with my trainer when we were talking about restaurants and movies yesterday. I always, always, always, refer to my wife and how well she might or might not like it. Never me!
Well we can’t go there, or watch,……she won’t like……… or we can because she likes………
Holy Shit!! I know I’ve been doing this for years. I’m grateful I’m learning my codependency runs deep. So fucking deep.
I’m grateful I found I got an exercise here I can work on. Shits going to be about ME and what I like and don’t like. And then I can mention her if I choose to.
I’m grateful for “What about me?” I’m grateful I get to consciously practice this tomorrow with my trainer.
I’m also grateful WE both enjoyed binge watching The Patient on Hulu yesterday. Very intense. Steve Carrell at his finest again.
Grateful for you all.
Gratitude doesn’t mean we have to be happy about everything. But we can be grateful for the lessons.
Al-Anon
Good morning Callie.
@Callie99
Here’s wishing you a great big sober congratulations on your sober birthday. I am so happy for you in so many ways. And very envious of your youthful strength and courage to do all you’ve accomplished in the last year. You are an AMAZING woman and I’m so happy to be a little part of your journey. Thanks for stopping in.
Today I’m grateful for a rather good day. Grateful I did some office work. Grateful a friend stopped by to have coffee with me, it was so nice
Grateful for my therapist allthough I do not really get what today’s meeting was about … I learned that the impacts and lessons sometimes can unfold a few days later.
Grateful I cooked yummi lunch and have leftovers for tomorrow. Grateful I made fire in the wood stove, the cats love it. Me too
Grateful the day is almost over. I’m tired and will go to bed early
It’s all about f**** balance. Great realization
Such a horrible show to love. So well done. I was pretty uncomfortable watching it at the beginning. I’m grateful, eventually, we couldn’t stop watching it. We are all caught in the new season now so we can’t binge. I’m grateful for their music, especially that Kate Bush song. Cloudbusting. I’m grateful for Elizabeth Moss.
I’m grateful The Patient is only a half hour show. But we spent 2 hours binging it. We couldn’t stop
Wow. I’m grateful you survived Andrew. I remember that one from afar. That’s my grandfather’s name. He left a path of destruction with his alcoholism. I’m grateful I was too young to realize it and I only have good loving memories of him.
Andrew was my father’s name! Unfortunately I do remember the alcohol anger, rage and much more. Needless to say, we weren’t close. He passed of liver cancer around 20 yrs ago. He wanted to see me when he was dying, I couldn’t do it.
Oops, sorry this is a gratitude thread. I’m grateful I took a break from work and read everyone’s shares.
