Good morning all,
I’m grateful I feel pretty good even though I slept rotten last night. I’m grateful to have a few minutes before I leave to work to do my gratitude and have some coffee with you guys. I’m grateful I made it to two years today. I’m grateful I found this community by accident, when all I thought I needed was a counter. God knew I needed more help. I’m grateful for all of you, and for my home thread. I’m grateful I have food ready to go, today will be a long workday. It feels good to have my shit together! I’m grateful I got my credit from Audible and will start the new Stephen King book on my drive🤗.
Everyone have a wonderful day

@Sunflower1 congratulations on 2 years! My immediate thought was this, that lucky bastard, their prefontal cortex is healed! 2 years is so great, I’m grateful you can trust your decision maker today!
I’m grateful for the late meeting I got to attend last night with 3 friends. I double dated to a recovery after dark meeting last night and sat with so much gratitude to be sitting in a meeting with my FRIENDS. Sober friends. I saw an old friend there last night that my fiance and I knew from the streets. We were in the trenches together and it was an awesome moment to be there and be celebrating and working on our sobriety, all together. Beautiful moment.
I’m grateful that I found fentanyl in my room yesterday morning. Im grateful I did not have a moment of hesitation when I saw it, im grateful that I was true to myself and my recovery and took a picture of that bitch and sent it to the house manager. I’m grateful I didn’t let the drunken house sailor sway me by being a drunken sailor and being nasty and bitchy and texting my roommate mouthing off that I was making a big deal about it and that I “claimed to have found it on the floor”. Grateful that I can see her EXACTLY for where she is right now and grateful that my friend (the one I double dated with last night) picked me up for work and we got rid of the poison. Grateful that I did not engage with the drunken sailor beyond simply calling her out for getting in my business. Once the subsequent unrelenting gunnysacking started (*in text form, OF COURSE) I just deleted as they came and continued with work. Very grateful my house manager was cool that I just packed up some stuff and left for the night. Grateful that she’s realizing it’s better and healthier for me to have been gone 6 of the last 7 days then to be a stickler for the rules when the rules truly aren’t best for my recovery right now. Grateful that I’ve done the work and stayed clean so that she hears me when I bring my concerns to her.
Grateful that I have built up a sense of self worth over the last 5 3/4 months so that when shit goes sideways I am ok with sticking to my guns knowing that I’m doing the right thing, knowing that my track record at the house reflects that, so if she wants to be miserable and run her mouth I know the truth and it’s not going to affect me. Sounds so simple but it took a bit of work to get here.
Grateful yet again for the choices that lay ahead of me. That I can choose where to go from
here because my decisions and actions have supported my right to have choices.
I’m grateful to have such a full life. Grateful for my daughters, for my fiance and best friend, for my sober friends and coworkers. For the people I enjoy seeing at the meetings that are becoming my friends. Grateful for a house that I live in and for my fiance’s house that can spend time at while I’m finding my next house to live in. Grateful for my job and grateful that I’m so close to my next job. I feel blessed with abundance in life and in my choices. I am very grateful that I feel so satisfied in the creation of my life. Because as my favorite quote says “life is not about finding yourself. It is about CREATING yourself.”
That it is.
Grateful to be waking up to this beautiful 175th clean day. Grateful to know if I keep doing what I’ve been doing I’ll be able to go to bed clean tonight.

Ugh 
Not another book 
I’m grateful for you recommending that book for me.
That sounds like a book I could really use.
I will look into it.
I’d be grateful to learn how to keep up with all the books I can read and podcast I can listen too and meetings I can go to and still have a life. There’s not enough hours in the day. I’m grateful that book has my name all over it.
Thank you.
I could be venerable though 
But that would not be for me to decide 
I’m grateful for you 
And I hope you’re toe is on the mend

Good morning beautiful souls.
@Sunflower1 Congrats on completing your second year in recovery. I feel so lucky to be able to share your milestone with you. Thanks for sticking around and allowing us to be a part of your life.
I am grateful that I got my butt to a meeting last night and for the motorcycle ride home under a blanket of stars. If you ever need your spirit filled, a meeting, a meal and a motorcycle ride seems like a good recipe.
I am grateful that my partner is in recovery and that he sort of understands me. He understands parts of me anyways and thats a good start. I think the whole fact he is a man reduces the understanding of a female by at least 50% naturally. Not his fault.
I am grateful that I am forgiving today and that I let things roll off my back. I am grateful that things just dont sting anymore like they used to. Everything used to feel personal the world was out to get me and it hurt. This created so much defensiveness in me and I just built up a wall that got thicker and thicker. I am grateful that the wall is gone, that forgiveness flows and that loving energy can surge through my body without barriers.
I am grateful that I dont have to steer my life anymore. When I let go all that is supposed to happen, happens. Then I look back and I am like , " Wow, I can see what you are doing."
I came into recovery very angry with a big, big resentment towards men in general. I had to work hard on letting that go but eventually I had a spiritual awakening around it while doing a set of steps. I finally let that resentment go and next thing I know I am part of the PR group going to share in the mens correction facility. I dont really know how that happened, I was reached out to and it all just sort of flowed. I am grateful that I can see my HP working in my life helping me be a part of the solution today. I am grateful that I am awake enough to recognize that this is not chance. There is value in my story and I am grateful to be able to share it with other addicts.
I am grateful to be reminded often that I am just a vessel living out my purpose and I dont need to complicate the shit out of it.

I’m inspired,2 years is phenomenal. Today like everyday I awoke in gratitude. Reading posts on this thread just imbues me with even more gratitude. Grateful my friend Carolyn told me bacteria had closed swimming just south of where I swim 4 - 5 days a week. I definitely had gastroenteritis for the past three days,fine now after staying out of the Gulf. I’ll definitely research it b4 jumping back in. I have loved this new good habit but will still go to Anna Maria island 
to watch the sky light up and meditate. Just happens listening to the ocean waves,no effort. Grateful for vinyl and a sweet system to listen to. Music is therapy. Very grateful for finding this community and this morning looking at sober selfies for the first time just added to my joy. Nice to “see” everybody. My biggest gratitude is that I leave eatly tomorrow to travel to my daughter’s home. Going to Disney on Ice with my two grands and more family. Pumped. Being with my family in sobriety is well hard to put in mere words. My adult children had never seen me not at least high on weed if not also adding heroin or oxy to the mix,until the day they picked me up from the state run psych hospital and transported me to the rehab center. That was a happy but mixed bag moment. I was gnarly as fuck after 5 days of withdrawals so intense I lost 10 pounds. As far as being a good father I was a bad boy but a good man. Talk about gratitude ! Hope everyone has a day filled with loving kindness

I’m grateful to God please help me continue to stay clean and sober while doing your will just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery and yours.
I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the grati-dudes. I’m grateful for clean clothes, dishes and apartment. I’m grateful that I can try school another semester or year. Aparently my social insurance number is still causing problems with applying for school, financial assistance for school, (so now I cant attend), work and employment insurance and now I am still waiting, (since the beginning of freakin June this process started) on snail mail to deliver a new birth certificate so I can prove who I am and sort out this social insurance number debacle. I’m grateful I am willing to get getting help with it all. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for music, laughter, humour and exercise.
God bless you all.

p.s. You are absolutely amazing. Ya you!!
p.p.s congratulations @Sunflower1 on your two years. Keep moving forward. So great.
