I’m grateful it’s Saturday and I have no commitments. Grateful I slept in. It is a rare occasion when I do so. I needed it.
I’m grateful for the beautiful weather.
Grateful for flavored coffee and musings on a quiet morning.
I’m gratefully humbled by being disqualified at the last race of the season yesterday. I was very disappointed. Took a wrong turn where the race path was not signaled well. I will not place in the year’s championship because of this mistake. I told my youngest (who did beautifully on his competitions yesterday) that I was disappointed. I was doing so well in the race! He said: “Mom, you showed up and gave it your best. You’ll learn from it. That’s what matters.” I said: “Somehow it’s not making me feel better.” And he said: “Well, that’s how we (him and his brother) feel when it happens to us and you say the same thing to us!” I giggled. He is right. From the mouths of babes…That’s sports and life for you. Sometimes you give it your best and you don’t reach your goals. And that is ok.
I’m grateful I’m accepting that showing up and giving it your best is the main acomplishment. Showing up sober and giving it my best, in any situation, is what matters to me.
I’m grateful this is a small experience that made me realign my thinking about the big challenges, past, present and future, and how to face them with determination but with less pressure and a calmer heart.
Much love to you all - I hope you have an amazing weekend!
I’m grateful, after having a great time visiting Norma, my son, and DIL, I didn’t come back to the hotel and get all liquored up.
Therefore, I don’t have a crushing headache which I’m grateful for.
Therefore, I was so tired I didn’t have a “pick me up,”
I’m grateful I was so tired the drag racing and thundering music on Main St in Dallas didn’t keep me awake.
I’m grateful I got a great or long nights sleep.
I’m grateful for room service coffee. Gawd, I love this French press.
I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt too bad and it’s pretty manageable.
I’m grateful my son has ice packs just like mine.
They both said. Well, you bought them for us I didn’t remember.
I’m grateful everything turned out great at the Arboretum, Fall Pumpkin Festival yesterday, and nothing went as planned. Nothing! Not a damn thing
I’m grateful we watched the first couple of episodes of The Patient with my son. He got hooked pretty quickly. He’s a therapist.
I’m grateful my son and DIL have a lot of help with baby at night. I’m grateful it frees them up to be so rested and happily loving on her even more. It’s very cool.
I’m grateful they really appreciate our help.
I’m grateful they appreciate us for all we did without any help when we were new parents. I’m grateful I look back and can’t believe we did it either.
I’m grateful we were young when we started our family. I think that’s must be the secret.
I’m grateful I’m sober for all this.
I’m grateful I’m sober ODAAT for the rest of my life.
I’m grateful I cannot imagine ever picking up a drink again. I’m grateful I’m scared shit if I did, it could kill me.
Grateful for G-Dudes. And G-Daughters.
Accept the situation and
Move on with a smile.

This amazing forum and fellowship
Thank you @anon74766472 for asking
Today is our wedding day. I don’t know if I should be grateful I heard nothing from my husband. But I’m grateful for my therapist appointment today. It was an intense session and helped me through the day. Grateful for calls with friends. Grateful I didn’t feel abandoned when they ended it because a family member called. I’m grateful I appreciate people setting priorities. I’m also grateful I ended a call because I was hungry and wanted to prepare dinner. That’s ok.
I’m grateful for the fire in the stove and lazy cats purring arround. I’m grateful I felt connected to my late mum today. Maybe I’m grateful to slowly realize that my husband’s behaviour is crap and I deserve better. Small glimpses. Babysteps. Maybe I sometimes will be grateful for all the hurt, loneliness and feelings of abandonment that fill my life at the moment. But not today. Today I make a crossover and put them in the bin.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I am not rushed to get out of bed.
I am grateful I slept well.
I am grateful for boring mornings in bed on the weekends.
I am grateful I have all I need today.
I am grateful to be in recovery. I am grateful that soon I’ll hit 4 years sober. When 4 years ago going more than 4 days without wine was impossible to think of. It took all my energy to force and plan to skip a day of my wine routine. I am still grateful that it clicked somehow. I am grateful no-one is asking me how because I still have no idea.
I am grateful for my warm new wool carpet I bought yesterday. It’s going to be great, when the cold season comes. I am grateful I can just buy things like this now without thinking too much about it. It used to be money that went into buying wine. I am grateful for a new golden autumn day and some time out in nature. And the pot of hot coffee in my hand.
Morning,
I’m grateful to still be in bed, drinking tea, I can hear it pouring down outside.
I’m grateful I got lots of little jobs done yesterday evening. If I’d still been drinking nothing would have got done, well maybe some arguing and embarrassing texting.
I’m grateful we bought our very first caravan yesterday. It’s here, on our driveway. We sat in it yesterday evening, chatted and drank tea and coffee. The kids came in to have a look. I’m so excited.
I’m so grateful that I don’t drink.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful I woke up way to early, but it’s not because of drinking. I’m grateful for quiet time to myself. I’m grateful to see the beautiful sunrise from my porch swing. The sky is lavender, and the clouds are a deep purple, and looking at it brings me joy. I’m grateful for my simple life. I’m grateful I learned how to keep it simple.
Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful to be hangover free.
I’m grateful for cute little baby girls. Especially my granddaughter. I’m grateful we took her on her first shopping trip and left dad at home for a break. I’m grateful the the incredible amount of love Norma’s parents show her. I almost feel guilty that we never showed THAT MUCH LOVE to our babies. I’m grateful I know we must have or they wouldn’t be showing so much love to their child. I’m grateful I just can’t believe my boy makes such a great baby father. I’m grateful for our new family relationship ship with the baby in charge.
I’m grateful I haven’t had to cook for them yet but I get to cook for us tonight. And make a bread pudding. I’m grateful there will be lots of football this afternoon.
I’m grateful all the crowds of people on Main St in Dallas were you yucking it up and having a booming loud good time last night and I slept like a sober little baby anyway.
I’m grateful for service coffee.
I’m grateful they don’t want us coming over until 10 am. I’m grateful we get to leave them at 8pm when baby goes down because they are exhausted too and need their sleep.
I’m grateful for our new life of being Grands.
I’m grateful my irrigation guy texted me last night and he finally got my shit winterized. I’m grateful I forgot and wasn’t worried about it. Well maybe a little.
I’m grateful for the miracles of new life. Even ours. Ya ours! Ya Yours!
The real gift of
gratitude is that the
more grateful you
are, the more present
you become.

I’m grateful you realize this. Slowly. You are worth so much better. I for one am grateful to watch you grown and fight and do the right things for yourself. I cannot imagine how hard this is for you. And so sorry you are going through this.
Slowly. Small glimpses as you say.
Little kitten hugs to you my friend

I am grateful for another full weekend. I am grateful we got to carve pumpkins, I’m grateful that the dinner I made turned out well, I’m grateful for the time I get to spend with them, greatful I get this chance to repair the damage of addiction.
I’m grateful I got a space heater! Grateful I’ll be warm in the morning. Grateful to feel ready to start another work week, grateful this Sunday night I feel even more settled and prepared than I did last week. Greatful for that improvement curve I’m seeing in my life.
I didn’t remember.
