I’m sure I’m not the only one that would be grateful to see you in your Halloween 10k Costume.
Good luck on your run.

I’m grateful you shared that. I cannot believe you’re clown! I dressed up once so long ago. I never dress up for Halloween. But when I did. I was a clown. Just like this pic.
By the way.
Very frightening :scream:
And you made my day :hugs:

Halloween 1982
Probably before y’all were born.
Except you Billy.
I’m grateful I found this :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I was a happy clown.

I am grateful to have been very much alive in 1982.

I am grateful to be in recovery today especially. My daughters called me this afternoon to tell me that their paternal grandfather had died abruptly and I’m very grateful that I’ve been present for it.
I’m grateful that this won’t be much but a relief to them, and I’m grateful that I was able to depart some sort of level headedness on them about humans and our faults and frailties. I’m grateful that I’m learning how to heal myself and have a better chance of showing them a better way than to hold on to hurts and resentments.
I’m grateful that this is showing me that I really need to step up my therapy game. I’m grateful that this will give me an opportunity to process and heal trauma that I haven’t addressed yet.
Grateful for my recovery. Gratful I don’t have anything pressing today.

Im grateful for nudges. My HP knows how to speak to me. :smirk:
Im grateful that i listen ( sometimes ) sometimes it takes a few nudges.
Im grateful that i am a little less stubborn these days when it comes to my willingness and a little more quick to see where i need to take action first and the willingness will come later.
Im grateful i started actually writing out my 10th step instead of mulling it over in my head. Keeping it in my head never worked before, not sure why i thought it would be helpful with a daily inventory lol
Im grateful the new medicine seems to be helpful to my daughters mental health.
Im grateful my husband is happy to be AF.
Im grateful tomorrow is my friday.
Im grateful for so many things like warm home, food, car, love, family, pets, clothes and all the little conveniences i take for granted daily.

I’m grateful I organized my kitchen yesterday.

I’m grateful my husband worked to bring our backyard back to life, with fresh plants and grass.

I’m grateful I was 100% there making the kids’ Halloween celebrations fun.

I’m grateful I went to a Halloween party and was perfectly content with my diet coke. I was amazed when someone near the bar table said: “This - whatever liquor he was taking about - is great. You should try. Very little hangover the day after” Wait, what? Sober me thinking: “Why drink if you KNOW you’ll be hungover tomorrow, but just not too much? Ah, wait. I used to be that way. Little hangover was a good day then” I’m so grateful I don’t think like that anymore :pray:

Grateful I saw my oldest at his volleyball tournament. Grateful I’m present to see these absolutely rewarding moments instead of blurring them out.

I’m grateful that when, later in the day I went ballistic on him because of some conflict with his brother, I stopped and went for a walk. I’m grateful that when we saw each other a couple of hours later he apologized. I apologized. This would have been so bad, had I reached for a drink in my frustration. I’m so grateful for that 45-minute furious walk instead.

Grateful I’m starting my week with a clear head. A full night’s sleep behind. No shame. No trying to disguise my shaking hands and red eyes. I’m so grateful for each and every day sober.

Good evening gratidudes

Im so very greatful for this platform and everyone on it. Im greatful for an action packed day. Im greatful for therapy, good talk and call to action. Im greatful my family came out to support my hubby and go go karting. Im greatful everyone had a blast. Im greatful im still laughing at my 70yo mom driving like a grandma on the trak. Im greatful i was able to pay my niece handsomely to do some chores around my house to raise money for a school trip. Im greatful for boredom. Im greatful my boredom led me to some spiritual growth. Im greatful i was able to share a message of surrendering to the universe with my husband and it resonated with him as well. Im greatful for my hubby and his persistence and winning me out in this love game.

As i slow down for the night i wish you all well with a full belly and warm and greatful heart. :heart:

Today, I am grateful for:

  1. My rational mind. It has gotten me out of some triggering situations in the last few months, and I’m still sober. It always tells me a firm “No” when even a small ounce of myself wants to have an alcoholic drink.
  2. Time. Here in the UK, we moved from BST to GMT this morning, so an extra hour in bed. Albeit no doubt it’s going to confuse me today, I’m grateful for that extra hour.
  3. Busy weekends. I’ve been mostly fortunate that since I started the job that I’m working in September, I’ve rarely been rota’d into working a full weekend; last week being the exception. When I have that time off, I enjoy getting out, exploring and keeping myself busy and occupied. When I’ve done something that I enjoy, it makes me feel like I’ve spent my free time productively.
  4. Halloween. Who doesn’t love dressing up?!

Good morning
I’m grateful for the reminder to participate in this process. @Dazercat !

I’m grateful to all the people who responded so kindly to my news of 1 year sober. Thank you!

I’m grateful to have such a wonderful husband who shares my journey and supports me and challenges me to take better care of myself.

I’m grateful to be enjoying this long weekend. Today I will do a lot of school work, but it is mostly pleasant work.

I’m grateful for my home. It is cozy and safe and located in a community I enjoy.

I’m grateful for mostly peace of mind for myself. I see my brother suffering a great deal these days with his mental illness and his addiction and I’m grateful to be free of the burdens he has from our childhood.

I’m grateful for good weather and good food and my favorite: first coffee of the day!

Enjoy your day today and stay away from the toxics

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a long and restful sleep. I’m grateful I get to see the sunrise creating so many beautiful colors. I’m grateful that today my husbands brother will marry the girl he loves. I’m grateful that both of them are sober now, and have created a good life. I’m grateful that my family is able to help with everything they need help with. I’m grateful that I’ll be present the whole time, not drinking, or thinking of drinking, or monitoring my drinking, or over drinking. Im grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️
