I am grateful for my busy life.
I am grateful that my life is full of meaningful people and activities.
I am grateful that I can see when chaos is creeping in.
I am grateful to recognize that I still kind of like that feeling of being out of control, and having a bit of unmanageability in my life. I am grateful that I can be honest about that and work on it.
I am grateful to be heading to a meeting right now.

Good evening all,
I’m grateful I made it through my first wedding sober. I’m grateful I was able to be helpful during the set up. I’m grateful I got to see the whole family have a blast. I’m grateful that I still have time with my kids at home before they grow up and leave the nest. I’m grateful for love and new beginnings.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for another day off.
I am grateful I found the courage finally to write a message to a friend concerning her visit in 2 weeks or so.
I am grateful I am relatively healthy and am willing to adapt to what my body is able to give me. It’s the only one I have at the moment in this life.
I am grateful that calls with my mother don’t turn the way they used to. It still can be like a mine field for both of us but it’s more peaceful. Boundaries.
I am grateful I have enough.

Today I had dinner with some of my best friends. We went to a brewery and had good laughs and good food. I am grateful for people in my life who don’t make my decision to be sober a big deal. It’s a big deal to me and I will never forget that but it’s nice to order a soda water without anyone throwing a fit. I didn’t drink today and I probably won’t drink tomorrow. :wink: I’m grateful for this life.

Today, I am grateful for:

  1. 70 days of sobriety. I’m pleased I’ve made it this far, and it feels like another (small) milestone. One day at a time, but I’m celebrating the small wins this morning.
  2. Warm tea. There’s something quite “wintery” and snug about sitting early in the morning, waiting for the sun to rise with a mug of tea and just listening to the tranquillity and stillness. So peaceful & quiet.
  3. Days off. First day back at work today since Thursday last week. I managed to get quite a lot done over the weekend, and I’m feeling refreshed. Ready to get back to work today!
  4. Halloween. I didn’t do much this year, but it was nice to see families & others out yesterday preparing for trick or treating and/or other Halloween themed activities. One of the better holidays of the year in my opinion.

Today a grateful early check-in. I’m grateful for a good night’s sleep and waking up early. I’m grateful for a post I always memorize when I want to call my husband: It is co-dependency when you want to do something to get love FROM somebody instead of doing it just because you love the person.
Grateful it digged me out of the needy mood I was in.
Grateful for a beautiful visit to the cemetary, it was early so there were few people. Later it’s going to be crowded, All Saints Day is a big holiday here.
Grateful for yummi breakfast and the beautiful flowers a friend brought me yesterday :tulip::blush:
Grateful therapy starts in about half an hour. I feel that I need a talk with my therapist today.

I’m grateful for this quote, I needed to hear that today

Grateful it is November! Grateful for the paper :chains: chain countdown that begins today, only 13 IOP classes to go and I’m done! I’m grateful to be in the home stretch. I’m grateful it’s taken me SO LONG to get through IOP, and I am grateful there is a finish line in sight.
I’m grateful that I’m off to a strong start and I went to bed at an hour that will allow me to have a fantastic day. I’m very grateful for the mindset that SLEEP gives me.
I’m grateful that I engaged in a guided Ram Dass meditation last night, @Soberbilly I can see why you chose him. That’s a great tool. Thanks for the name.
I’m grateful that I’m participating in the things that I felt were missing in my life last Thursday when I came home from work and felt blah. I’m grateful that I’m still doing what I need to do to better myself, aquire health and knowledge and further my recovery. I’m so grateful it’s not just a passing notion that I gave up on like I’ve done so much of in my life. I’m grateful that I recognize if I do that at this point my sobriety, recovery, and LIFE will very likely disintegrate. Grateful for tenacity. Grateful for persistence.
GRATEFUL for this day in my recovery that I can get out there and truly do my best. Grateful to be living, and loving, life. :heart:
