Today I’m grateful for lazy Saturdays, and a boyfriend that doesn’t think I’m lazy in the days I choose to sleep in or do nothing, which are admittedly probably too few and far between. I’m grateful that even though I don’t feel that great today, I still feel better than I would have if I’d been drinking.

I’m glad you took a lazy Saturday and grateful your boyfriend doesn’t mind. Recovery is hard work. Especially early on. I found it exhausting.
Good for you.

I am grateful that it was not me who hit a pedestrian on the highway tonight.
I am grateful that I was not the first car on the sceen of the hit and run.
I am grateful after I found out what had happened, saw there were enough people around that my wisdom told me to get back in my car and go home.
I am grateful that I didnt scream profanities at the woman who jumped in front of my car trying to stop me.
I am grateful that I have no need to explain myself to anyone.
I am grateful that I followed my intuition and kept driving away slowly.
I am grateful that 2 emergency vehicles passed me as I drove home.
I am grateful that my daughter was safely tucked into bed watching tv when I got home and both my parents were across the yard.
I am hopeful that was nobody that I knew.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Parkrun. After losing much of my motivation for running in recent months, Parkrun has been a constant in my life & is a scheduled, safe event where I’m able to maintain some level of fitness every Saturday AM.
- Sports in general. I had a fantastic day yesterday at the Rugby League World Cup & I’m going to attempt to get to 1-2 more games as the tournament progresses.
- My friends and family. I’m fortunate to have a close, core group of people who love & support me. Despite having upset and lost a lot of friendships in the years of my addicition, my family & close friends have always stood by me & are ultimately here for me.
- I’m grateful for new loungewear. I bought myself a matching set of shirt and trousers to wear around the house, and I can confirm they are extremely comfortable!
- I’m grateful for being present every day due to sobriety. No more regrets, no more foolish or idiotic mistakes. Although it can be tough and challenging at times, I can only hold myself accountable, and I am living a much more enjoyable, fulfilling life.

I’m grateful to read the shares from everyone this morning.
So sorry to read about the passing of your mum @erntedank, thinking of you.
I’m grateful to read about @Shaunda and @cjp husbands sobriety journey. Mine too is a whisper away from 100 days, he loves being sober.
I’m grateful to have a day to myself, everyone is out. I’m going to cook something nice for dinner, tidy up a bit, take my dog and do a bit more knitting.
I’m grateful to be happy, healthy and have a peaceful life right now.

I am grateful for sunrise and a new day, after a night full of dark thoughts and dread. I know I should not pay too much attention to what my head is analyzing and trying to solve at 3:00 in the morning. Some days its easier to shake it off than others. My heart is still a bit heavy, but daylight, music and writing it down help. And coffee of course.
I am grateful for the park around the corner, playing football with my cousins daughter and her gleeful giggles. Grateful for old friends, I’ve had since kindergarden and feeling at home, just beiing around them, without expectations.
I am sorry to read about your mom @erntedank. I am tinking of you.
Grateful I get to see my granny today, after long weeks of covid isolation for her. I am glad she made it through the outbreak in the elderly home unharmed. Its a blessing.
I am grateful for another sober day and the chance to make it a great one. Take care everyone

I’m grateful for cool 60 degree desert mornings. You’re not freezing 
are ya @Sunflower1 
It was actually 59 this morning. I can’t believe, and I’m very grateful, we have the sliding door open with the screen and all the cats are sniffering away. I’m grateful for all the rain and storms off and on through the day yesterday.
I’m grateful the salmon I cooked last night in the oven came out great 
I usually pan sear it, you get a better crispier texture that way.
I’m grateful my wife and I continue to work on things. But, truthfully, it’s hard for me, when it seems like she always has a glass of wine in her hand from lunchtime on. It’s not so bad. But sometimes it’s hard. But I’m getting better. Yep. I can always get better if I want to. I’m grateful her drinking doesn’t trigger me to want to drink. I’m grateful I can honestly say I’ve thought about it. Drinking. To make it easier. Im grateful I know it would not make things easier. I’m grateful this is my shot at recovery. I’m grateful I know the truth is; this could be my last recovery. I’m grateful I know from other people, the reality is, we don’t always make it back after a slip or a relapse. And I’m grateful that scares the shit out of me. (Seriously I’m ok. This is just where my gratitude thought process is taking me this morning. I’m not entertaining any thoughts of drinking.) I’m grateful my sobriety is stronger than ever.
I’m grateful we enjoyed our movie last night.
Spoiler alert. I’m grateful the dog didn’t get hurt. Yes we looked it up.
I’m grateful for technology and we get lots of grand baby pics. I’m grateful I’ll be seeing Norma soon.
I’m grateful for y’all.
I’ve said it before.
If I’m not the problem.
There’s no solution.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for the cool morning, and my sweater ( so I don’t freeze @Dazercat 
). I’m grateful for exercise, or I will be when I’m done with it. I’m grateful my applesauce experiment went so good that today I’ll try salsa. I’m grateful I have so much more time for the things I want to do now that I’m sober and not wasting time drinking or thinking about drinking. I’m grateful @Runningfree is doing her first in person race since Covid- cheering for you Jen! I’m grateful for love, forgiveness, and the willingness and ability to learn and grow.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I discovered a wonderful place by bike today.
I am grateful I have enough. Is it so? I attended a yin yoga class and she was talking about opening to what your heart is telling you. Your heart knows the answer. 
Letting it sink there came sadness and tears into my eyes. Letting it sink.
I am grateful I won’t drink it away.

Today I’m grateful for a nice breakfast with the neighbours. Grateful for my cats. Grateful for contact with my husband but feeling deficient afterwards. It seems that everything I do or leave is wrong. That makes me sad. Grateful for good friends. Grateful I cooked lunch today. Leftovers for tomorrow

@erntedank i’m so sorry about your mom but very grateful that she died as she wished, grateful about all the nice words that you said about her being with her loved ones and her beloved animals. I’m also glad that you were able to spend the time with her body at the rest home. You will always have your mom with you. One of these days you will see her again. Thinking about you during this time of sorrow and transition.

Morning,
I’m grateful to be reading Annie Grace, it’s absolutely spot on. It really makes me think. I’m so happy to not drink. All those times of feeling so bad, what a waste.
I’m grateful to be able to take my son to work at 4.30am without hoping to get back home without being pulled over and breathalysed. It was always a worry, glad it’s gone from my life.
I’m grateful to be here, on TS, reading and reading.
I’m grateful for a lovely morning here, I better get moving or I’ll be late

I’m grateful I don’t drink.
I’m grateful I’m accepting change in my life, even when it is hard.
I’m grateful I had a moment when I questioned myself today: “Is this it? Sobriety? Forever? Do I like it? Do I still want it? To go through everything without a ‘break from life’ without a ‘break from myself and my thoughts and emotions’? Because that’s what sobriety is, isn’t it? I’m not sure I’m strong enough”
I don’t know why it hit me like that.
But the first thought after all that came crashing down on me was: I need to go back to my gratitudes.
I’m grateful for this practice, because sobriety is not only that. Living without a break from one’s thoughts and emotions. It’s seeing how much more there is in life when you live it fully. And as for the breaks…there are healthy ways to take a break.
I’m so grateful for you all.
I’m so grateful I found this thread.
Much love to you all.
