This is going to sound crazy, butā¦Iām grateful my husband, my oldest and I are feeling under the weather.
Iām grateful weāre probably just in dire need of some rest. Iām grateful my youngest had a sleepover invitation and was happily away from this sneezing bunch! Iām grateful Iām not that bad and cooked some comfort food and we all curled up on the couch for half a movie. Iām grateful my oldest needed some mommy cuddles. Heās a teen and Iām grateful I still get those moments. Iām grateful we went to sleep early.
Iām grateful that itās the end of a busy and stressful week, but we are not over committed for the weekend. Everything can wait. We can rest.
Iām grateful for my family and my ability to take care of them. Iām grateful this ability is no longer impaired by alcohol.
Iām so grateful for my dog, the sweetest little thing, who curls up next to us when she notices someone is not well.
Iām grateful that, with all lifeās curveballs, I have love around me and I have enough.
What a beautiful share to start my day. Thank you brother. I am grateful oh yes I am very grateful He woke me this day,grateful for the opportunity to be present. To just BE. Grateful to spend at least a moment acknowledging that within me that is just being. Grateful for awareness. I am grateful and happy my friend Nancy just called and shared how therapy is helping her. My dear friend is bi-polar and struggles daily. I am grateful to be here for her,always. I am grateful for the Tao Te Ching. I am grateful for this community of kind souls.
āOut beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing
There is a field. Iāll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. Ideas,language,even the phrase each other doesnāt make any senseā

Good morning all,
Iām grateful to have some quiet time this morning before everyone wakes up. Iām grateful that Iām not working today, so I can nap if I need to ( didnāt sleep good). Iām grateful Iāll just feel tired, not hungover. Iām grateful I have plans to do freezer meals for the month, but it doesnāt all have to get done today if Iām tired. Iām grateful I have the finances to do this. Iām grateful that it seems like all of our TS Florida people are ok.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Everyone here sharing their sober journies. I truly mean that!
I am grateful that I have found humility and that my life and choices are led by love. I am grateful that I know I am just a vessle here on earth and my purpose now is to share my story, spreading love. I am grateful to be heading out the door to watch the sunrise and meditate by the ocean. I am grateful for my life.
Iām grateful for all the great nights sleep I usually get. Last night or early this morning wasnāt one of them
Iām grateful for āplugging myself in,ā with guided meditations that will put me back to sleep. This morning wasnāt one of them See where Iām going here
Iām grateful for recognizing the āStinking Thinking,ā that I think kept me awake.
Iām grateful to go back to ājust the facts.ā
Iām grateful I donāt know what someone else is thinking. Fact! Iām grateful I can know how I feel. Fact! Iām grateful for my exercise of thinking about āJust The Facts,ā when my stinking codependent thinking starts taking over my mind. Iām grateful even thought it didnāt work last night. Iām grateful itās a new thing Iām learning and if I keep practicing it Iāll make progress, because Iām not looking for perfection anymore.
Iām grateful I had a good cry this morning sitting in the dark with my coffee too early to read or feed. Thinking about my childhood and mother. And how I really miss her .
Iām thought I was grateful for when the 3 people closest to me died in my family, sister at 50, mom and dad. They were all suffering for a long time. And it was always a āblessingā when they died and now they arenāt suffering anymore. And I always flew in from across country and came to the rescue and held the family together, or what was left of it. And I guess Iāve never really grieved. I was always the strong, dependable, rescuer. I donāt know where the fuck Iām going with this. But Iām grateful Iām feeling it and maybe letting a little of this shit go.
Fucking inner child
Iām grateful Iām realizing I numbed a shit load of feelings. Iām grateful itās not to late to actually really feel them.
Iām grateful for another round of gratitude after the dog walk.
Iām grateful when my wife asked me why I couldnāt sleep I told her some shit. Then asked her if she wanted the truth. Iām grateful she said yes and we or I ended up having another uncomfortable conversation this morning about the two of us. Iām grateful Iām working on myself. Iām grateful I could tell her itās kinda lonely working on myself. And I feel like Iām the only one working on us and myself. And it makes me feel lonely. Iām grateful Iām responsible for how I feel and Iām not responsible for how she feels.
Iām most grateful Minnieās blood work came back great. The vet called us late yesterday evening. Even though she has Cushingās Disease and a 16 year old liver and kidneys, all the blood work came back good.
Iām grateful I was going to break my 43 day sugar streak at the pizza place on my 1000 day celebration because they had home made gelato. More specifically Stracciatella gelato. Well they were out of it . And I didnāt fancy any of the other flavors so I didnāt treat myself. And I call that another win.
Iām grateful I got a 10 am massage coming up and I got to just ābuck up sissy pants!ā and enjoy the relaxing CBD oil massage. I never had a CBD oil massage. Thought Iād see what all the hype is. Iām grateful I can go out to lunch after. Iām grateful I get to work out with my trainer after that. Iām grateful I can cook dinner tonight or not cook dinner tonight.
Iām grateful I came back here and posted another round of gratitude with you all. I feel better.
Thank you.
You all deserve a raise
Iām grateful for my struggle because without it I wouldnāt have stumbled across my strength.
Iām grateful to be checking in here grateful. Grateful itās my day OFF! Iām so very happy to feel back to my normal happy self and realize itās not a mental health issue coming to the surface itās just how I am when Iām sleep deprived. So glad I dont have another round of Dr.'s apts to make and fiddle with medicines, I was pretty sure thatās what i was feeling yesterday, so Iām grateful to the entire universe thatās not what Iām dealing with at this point.
Grateful for the weekend, grateful for the energy and mental health to get done what needs to get done.
Grateful I was asked to chair at my homegroup this weekend! Boy do I have a lot to share aboit. Iāve overcome many reservations I didnāt even know I was holding onto these past 2 weeks. I stayed clean no matter what was going on no matter where I was (on the street? Guess what Iām staying clean so I donāt have to stay here. Fuck living on the street). Iām pretty excited about that.
Grateful for the couple of really good friends that Iāve made in recovery. Theyāve been my lifelineā¦
Grateful for all you here that keep me grateful and from ever feeling alone.
Grateful to be feeling grateful. Grateful to be nearing my 300 day mark, Iām grateful Iām going to go out today and do what I need to to keep my cup of well-being filled up so I can make it to my 300 celebration. Iām very grateful for milestones.
Thanks @anon74766472 for the translation
Thank you @Dazercat for your sharing and congrats on tripple digits
Today Iām grateful that all chores are done. Grateful for some sunshine. Grateful for purring, snuggling cats. Grateful for catfood delivery. Grateful I donāt cry all of the day while I transfer the entries from my old 18 months moleskin calendar to the new one.
Grateful Iām not alone in realizing I did not really grieve the death of a parent. We talked about it in therapy lately. All the feelings were brought up 2 weeks ago when I looked for some documents my lawyer needed. Grateful to have the chance to process them now.
Grateful that I have a safe home, good friends and ODAAT
Iām grateful for my sobriety because with out all the alcohol noise Iām much better able to evaluate my emotional space and understand how I feel and what the likely cause is. As a person with anxiety, itās wonderful to feel less anxiety, and better equipped to deal with whatever comes up.
Good evening gratidudes I am grateful for one big thing tonight. The closeness I share with my daughter. She is struggling in a difficult marriage. My son-in-law is an addict. Alcohol. We spoke at length twice today. The first time right after she had an intense session with her therapist. She is also a therapist which has greatly benefitted me in my recovery and I hope will help her navigate these troubled waters. She told me she cried through the whole session. It was all about her troubled marriage. Her husband is not present. They have two young children,four and two years old. The four year old is affected by her dadās lack of presence. She hits my daughter and yells at her. I was there with them a few weeks ago and observed how Madi doesnāt even like her dad to put her to bed. I observed him grab her arm and how it traumatized her. It saddens me. My daughter has to do everything with the kids while he sits in front of the tv drinking. As an addict I recognize the disease in him. Iām just grateful that while I was a bad boy I was a good man as a father and that my baby girl can confide in me. Sorry to dump all this on you all. Guess I need a safe place to vent. Thank you all for this safe space and sweet dreams itās my bedtime
Iām so sorry to hear this Billy. This family disease of addiction spreads all over the place and affects everyone. Itās so horrible and damaging. Especially when children and grandchildren are involved. As a therapist I hope she knows about Al-Anon. Iām glad your daughter was able to help you. Iām glad you feel comfortable sharing with us. Thatās what where here for. Dump away anytime my friend.
Amen, Iām grateful for your share, Billy, and for Ericās share. They all help me tremendously. And Iām very grateful for safe place I can vent and drop what is not serving me to carry around. Much love and gratitude.
