I’m grateful for a good nights sleep 
I’m grateful for my massage yesterday and Pilates workout. I’m most grateful my body feels good this morning. Mind is codependently fucked. But body is good. I’m grateful I can relapse that way and start again each day. Or each half day or each hour.
I’m grateful to see what I think is a young Jack Nicholson gif by Maxy. Morning Maxy. Must be a celebration somewhere. I’m grateful I love celebrating the battles over addiction. Can’t wait to see who it is.
I’m grateful I got to watch and enjoy the late UCLA football game last night.
I’m grateful I get to enjoy the Nittnay Lions this afternoon. Go Penn State! I’m grateful I’m learning I can choose to sit around all weekend being a football bum and not feel guilty about it.
I’m grateful I can turn the heat on this morning.
I’m grateful to hear Minnie clomping around the house and coming to check on me for the 3rd or 4th time this morning. I’m grateful for my hearing. Sometimes selective 
I’m grateful for beautiful cool sunny mountain weather.
I’m grateful Beatrix is smashed up long by the fireplace cooking.
I’m grateful Benson is on guard in case someone and their dog or bike on the trail out front 40 yards away is planning an attack 
I’m grateful for my recliner and hot tea to wrap up my quiet time along with this gratitude practice.
Now let’s find out who we are celebrating for.

Yes! It is Jack Nicholson in The Shining. He was at his interview to be the caretaker of the Overlook hotel over the winter.
What could possibly go wrong?

Today I’m grateful I saw a couple here on TS being sober together for 6 months. This is wonderful and makes me cry a bit.
I’m grateful for friends I saw today at a birthday party. Grateful I was feeling fine around all the people I mostly did not know. Grateful I took a break when I felt it became too crowded and started feeling uncomfortable. Grateful I decided to drive home when I became tired. Could have stayed in the guest room but it was 6 pm, I wanted a shower (hot flushes 
) and knew I would be in bed at 8 pm anyway. Grateful I enjoyed the day, I’m sober and my social anxiety was pretty calm today. Well done, good night, hugs to everyone who needs it

Hi everyone,
I’m grateful for our woodburner and the free wood we get from around and about, fallen down trees and branches etc.
I’m grateful to have had a Saturday afternoon in the kitchen using the fruit and veg that I was given.
I’m grateful for other people’s shares, there’s always something that reminds me of something I’m grateful for too.
I’m grateful to have no plans for tomorrow, maybe a bit of cleaning and cooking.
I’m grateful for not drinking today or wanting to.

Im so very greatful
Me and a lady from my ladies aa mtg were going to hit up a dual diagnosis meeting. Only one other person showed up. We had to call to get into the room. So we were just 3 alcoholics who struggle with mental health discussing where we are at with life. We talked for an hour and finished with the lords prayer. Im greatful we salvaged the time. I feel so beyond hreatful.
Now im picking up takeout and going to go save Boscoe from lonliness.
So greatful

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I was lucky being born here. It’s pure luck.
I am grateful I was discovering this morning laying in bed that I don’t really regret how my life was. Obviously, I am grateful for human memory.
I am thinking a lot about my teacher training atm. Normal maybe as it’s about to start the second big part, the teaching. I am grateful that my thoughts are shifting towards questioning my intentions. Not in a judgemental way. I am always judgemental (precautionary) towards myself so that I am prepared for someone else. Stupid. Stupid. Anyways. I can be more gentle today, walking down this path.
I am grateful that I got my insulinpump, sensor, loop setup working after discussing with a friend and endless trials.
I am grateful tomorrow is off, another day before reality will hit me after 6 weeks of vacation

Good morning all
Congratulations to the milestone-ers! I’m grateful to see others reaching them. I’m grateful for cooler weather here, and beautiful sunrises. I’m grateful for tasty iced coffee that I made in my instant pot. I’m grateful that my mindset has changed around cooking, from “I hate to, I can’t” to “I can learn to, let me try”. I’m grateful for my family and home. Im grateful for my simple life that like @Soberbilly said is not boring.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Last night I had a dream that I relapsed. I can’t remember where I was or what I was doing, but that sneaky alcohol brain in my head was like, it’s no big deal, it’s just one night, it’s a celebration, no one will even care all those regular sneaky thoughts. So I drank, and then I was bummed out and I realized I would have to reset my clock. And THEN I realized that I would have to tell you guys, and that you would understand but the idea made me feel so sad to let you guys and myself down. I was so grateful when I woke up and realized it wasn’t real

I’m grateful to be up early and doing some morning cooking already. I’m grateful it’s just sticking a squash in the oven to make butternut squash soup later for lunch after it cools. Speaking of cool. I’m grateful for the cool autumn weather. And the foliage. I’m grateful all the trees don’t turn and loose their leaves at the same time.
I’m grateful for my sunsets which are hard to see through the ponderosa pine trees but sometimes it looks pretty cool in spots with eerie looking colors.
I’m grateful for the cooking I did yesterday.
I’m grateful by body feels pretty good after my 3 1/2 mile trail walk yesterday.
I’m grateful for the quiet mornings and being interrupted by Julie, my friend in London, on what’s app. I’m grateful I think that’s called surrendering to the present. Or at least I was reading about surrendering to present.
I’m grateful I just got off WhatsApp with Julie. Had such a wonderful chat. And I can still do my gratitude now.
I’m grateful for my rigorous morning routines that helped get me sober. I’m grateful I can things up a bit.
I’m grateful to learn waiting is a powerful force of action. And can be used in my recovery. I found it worked the other day and I didn’t even realize I was doing it at the time.
I’m grateful for football and cooking weekends.
I’m grateful, presently, I’m feeling great 
I’m grateful for the continuous joy all my cats and dogs give me.
I’m grateful some days I have my ups and some days I have my downs. Or maybe even some moments I have my ups and some moments I have my downs.
I’m grateful I got my gratitude in his morning.
Let’s bring on another 24 
soberly and not even want to drink
Know that you’ll never die from a feeling, only the behaviors you use to avoid them.

We live on a ranch, and once a year have meat processed. This week I was cleaning out the freezers in preparation for this year’s beef and pork. I was shocked at how much was still remaining from last fall.
As I was donating it to various church groups that provide meals in the community, I thought about how grateful I was to have enough to eat. I am grateful to have enough to share.
And, I am grateful that I will be in the same position next year. We always overdo it because my husband has a vision of extended family, friends, and employees all joining us for meals. It doesnt happen nearly often enough (or we end up going out, rather than cooking), but I am grateful he has not given up on that vision.

Today I’m grateful for a stressless day. I had weird nightmares and woke up really exhausted so I took it easy: cuddling with cats in the morning, breakfast, chores. Grateful I made a video of Schimanski playing with some cords. I showed it to my mum and she laughed 
Grateful I visited her today, I missed her. It has been 3 weeks since my last visit. Horribly exhausting weeks. I’m grateful I felt ok yesterday and feel ok today. Grateful for beautiful pictures from the party yesterday. Grateful I allowed myself to stop and pause when my energy was low and my emotions were high. Grateful this weekend wasn’t emotionally draining. The next week has some stressful appointments coming up. I use the serentity prayer often, it helps me staying in the present

Grateful for 20 days this go around. Grateful I made it over 300 days before my relapse and grateful I didn’t enjoy being high and drunk when I did. Grateful for all the things I learned in the last year and now putting more focus into relapse prevention. Going to various meetings for my mental health. Not isolated as much . Grateful for watching leaves fall off trees today and the peace is brought me . Grateful for cooler weather and keeping my windows open in my room. Grateful for shows that teach me history. Grateful for music. Grateful for halo fruit (tangerines?) , and bananas. I really like fruit and will rotate the different fruits I eat so I don’t get sick of them . Grateful for taking more pride in my room and keeping it clean .
