About an hour out of NYC and I saw a road sign that said āevery moment in recovery is a giftā. This trip is taking 3x the length of time we wanted it too but Iām feeling so blessed. A chill in the air. Colorful fall foliage surrounds me. We should hit Maine this afternoon some time. I clearly remember when trips like this would never have happened because my drugs were too important. Iām grateful to be living the life I am today. Iām happy today.

Today Iām grateful for my playful lovely cats. Grateful the fog lifted and the sun shone bright. Grateful the chimney sweeper was here today and the fire was already burnt down. It was nice to have a fire in the morning. Iām grateful I helped a friend to bring a rack for her kitchen home. Grateful for my big, reliable pick-up truck. Grateful for frozen pizza. 10 minute meal 
Grateful my mood became better during the day. Hormons can really fuck up with emotions and sensibilities. Grateful I set healthy, nice and polite boundaries with a friend who called and was drunk. Grateful I kept the conversation short because I felt it was too much for me. Grateful for tea

Good morning Gratududes and dudettes,
Iām grateful for the sunrise and sunset I saw yesterday, it made me feel like I was in a different world. If I was drunk or hungover I wouldāve missed out on it. Iām grateful to be trying new hobbies, today Iāll be making and canning applesauce. For someone who ādoesnāt cookā this is a big and bold undertaking. Iām grateful my mom is a phone call away if I need help! Iām grateful for my husband and all he does for our family. Iām grateful for my kids, my dogs, and our home.
Everyone have a wonderful day
@Shaunda ill be thinking of you and your husband, we are here for you.

Im so grateful to all of you who have reached out either through private message or on this forum. Thank you so much for rhe support.
Im grateful its been 26 hours since his last drink and so far its goinf well. He laid it all on the line for his doctor about how much hes been drinkinv and wantinf to detox at home. We are well armed to chemically detox here.
Im grateful that my boss says family first and i am able to be home with L while he goes throuhh this. Especially since its a dangerous process for someone who drank as much as he did daily.
Im grateful while knowing the statistics of staying sober, i can realize im also part of that statistic so there is no need to have to mucb hope or doubt for eother one of us about the future. All we have is this day.
Im so grateful i got that Dui! I couldnāt or wouldnt see how sick my family was. We all needed so much help and i was liquor blind to it all. If it be my higher powers will, we will get better as a family. Baby steps, little tiny baby steps with lots of bumps and bruises are in our future but this mama and wifes heart feels more at peace at this moment than it has in a long time. I know the road is long but we are all taking that first step and im so grateful for it.
Again thank you all so much for your shares and especially thank you for reaching out in one way or the other. Its all appreciated

Today Iām grateful to God. My mum passed away while asleep as she wished. Life was more and more a burden for her, now she is free from pain and helplessness, looking down on me and the cats, with my dad, all her family and friends and all long gone pets of her life beside her. Iām sure she is happy.
Iām grateful for a friend who picked me up and accompanied me to the rest home. Iām grateful I could stay as long as I needed it to say goodby to her dead body and eternal spirit.
Iām grateful for all my friends to be there for me, sharing my grief.
Iām grateful I had my mum for so long.
Iām grateful I called my husband right away in the morning to tell him. I have to let go the faith that he would be there for me. I have to let go

Good morning.
I am grateful today.
I am grateful to have seen the most fantastic moonrise last night from my home. A gorgeous, amber, waxing moon inched up from the horizon and shone across the ocean. It was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. I felt as if I could have paddle boarded to it, like it was sitting right on the water. I am grateful for the moon. 
I am grateful to have watched the sunrise this morning with Nugget, it was our first together. I am grateful for the sun and the way it lit the moon up last night, what a team.
I am grateful for my twinnie and the spiritual principle of identity. The wounded part of me tries so hard to pull me away from the crowd. I am grateful that I am just a being and as long as I keep being I am doing alright.
I am grateful for creative expression; poetry, song, danceā¦I knew right away the importance of this to my journey, to all of our journeyās. As time goes on I am understanding how this connects to our core. I am grateful for that understanding.
I am grateful for love.

Iām so sorry for you loss.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful my day was better than my mindset this morning.
I am grateful I opened up a bit towards the online teaching format I chose 8 months ago. I did some tiny baby steps guiding through Surya namasakar A. Hell. Not hell.
I am grateful I am doing rather fine with my colleague in my office and her diet explaining me all the details and weight numbers. 
Keep focus on myself.
I am grateful for the warm weather we got the next days.
I am happy that Iāll get money back from the additional costs of my last apartment.

Iām grateful for gratitude.

Iām grateful itās raining. Briefly.
Iām grateful when I see it raining I tell my wife. She loves the rain. So do I and we donāt see much rain very often.
Iām grateful for the clouds and the thick wide shortest ever rainbow I saw this morning over the desert.
Iām grateful I like getting up early.
Iām grateful for air conditioning, it keeps my wife happy. Iām freezing 
Iām grateful I got out of my codependent relapse this morning sooner than usual. I felt it coming on. I didnāt want it. I tried to fight it. I couldnāt. It just happened. And then it went away.
Iām grateful I already got the dogs walked and my ass walked too and can football it up the rest of the weekend if I want to. Iām grateful for too early mornings. Iām grateful for early bedtime and the book Iām reading.
Iām grateful for yāall.
Donāt hate the addict,
hate the disease.
Donāt hate the person,
hate the behavior.
If itās hard to watch it,
imagine how hard
it must be to live it. 
I really needed this reminder.
