I’m grateful for bad coffee when I’m traveling. It’s still coffee, I need a cuppa first thing in the morning when I wake up before 6, and makes me value my favorite ones at home:smile:
I’m grateful I cannot run today, so I did a stability workout. I don’t like those. I don’t like any strenght/stretching/whatever else workouts. But I did it to keep moving and it was not so bad. Should do it more often. It’s on my list.
I’m grateful my heartbeat is calm. Calmer than it’s been in 5 months. It’s a wonderful feeling.
I’m so grateful for this week away from everyone and everything. I’m so grateful the four of us are together, healthy and enjoying the time together, with no hurry.
Waking up grateful this morning for almost 8 hours of sleep. Grateful for Tuesdays and the ability I have to basically get in bed after work, it makes the rest of the week possible.
Grateful for the basics. My job, my home, money for groceries, and the clarity of mind to take on the tasks daily that are allowing me to rebuild my life.
Grateful for second chances, grateful for peace and calmness. Grateful to be able to spot dysfunction and for my attempts to cut chaos out of my life.
Grateful for my health which allows me to go to work everyday and work my hardest.
Grateful for my nearing 8 month milestone, grateful that time is flying!
I’m really struggling to feel grateful this morning after Election Day. I question why I live in the South.
I’m also grateful for the basics: a safe comfortable place to live, enough food to eat, internet, a reliable car, a good job. I’m always grateful for my cats. I’m grateful I have health insurance. I’m grateful my bad dream was just a dream. I’m grateful for Advil helping these constant headaches. Grateful for my morning coffee. Grateful for this community.
Thanks Eric! I laughed to myself when I read about your daughter because I had some times like that with my sister- it’s a good thing you are so understanding! That’s pretty awesome that you did the baby shower!

I’m grateful to be home safe and sound currently with a warm chonk on my lap. Daisy
I’m grateful I got up way too early again. But hell I’m going to bed at 9 so I’m getting plenty of sleep.
I’m grateful even though we were socked in with rain and clouds we got off on time and home safe. I’m grateful we might not travel again for a month. I’m grateful we can afford to travel again.
I’m grateful I feel like I just gotta see baby Norma again one more time before baby Gus joins the fam. I’m grateful I feel so close to my son and his family and I feel the over abundance of love from them. It’s so cool. And I’m grateful for our new relationship.
I’m grateful this fucken election is over. I feel ya @KarenKW I’m not in the south, but southwest, I feel ya. One thing I know for sure. Being sober during this frightening political nightmare in this country is so much easier. 3 years ago I was killing my self with booze about political things I have no control of. I’m grateful I’m not poisoning myself because of a bunch of fucking assholes I have no control over. They’re not worth it. But I am. And so are you. I’m grateful I think as a whole we might have a bit of democracy left. Either way. I’m not drinking.
I’m grateful I might not have to move again.
I’m grateful for all the love from my pets when we got home yesterday. I’m grateful it’s still dark out and I got a fire going and I’ll see the sunrise.
I’m grateful I got 2 maintenance guys coming to the house today for my water heaters and furnaces. I’m grateful I mopped the floors before we left Thursday and they were clean when we walked in yesterday. I’m grateful to watch Minnie drool all over my clean floors waiting for her snacks when we walked in yesterday MIN-NAAAY!! . I’m grateful I care more about my old girl Minnie and the rest of the lot than a clean floor.
I’m grateful my wife thanked me for working on making her go to bed instead of leaving her on the couch. I’m grateful I just tell her now “don’t forget the cat food cans.” And she says thanks, I would have forgotten. And she cleans up her mess. I’m grateful for AlAnon. I’m grateful I’m powerless of people and alcohol. I’m so grateful for this thread. I’m grateful to be home where my pets are.
There is calmness
To a life lived in GRATITUDE
A quiet joy.

Grateful for another morning hangover-free. Grateful for the progress my fearful, neurotic dog is making–he actually wanted to go on a walk this morning, so we trudged together through the drizzle in the quiet muffled morning. He has been afraid of walks in the wide wild world, and of rain, but he is getting a bit braver every day. I’ll take inspiration from that and remind myself to be as brave as I can today too, and maybe braver tomorrow.
Grateful for sobriety and all the people in it.
Grateful for Gratitude as a tool to pull myself back out of self-pity.
Grateful for all the little slogans that have helped along the way, like “This too shall pass”.
Grateful for humor which is my daily medicine.
Grateful that I don’t have to take myself real serious all the time.
Grateful to know I don’t have to react to emotional upheavals.
Grateful to know I’m really not in charge and can ride with Life and it’s lessons.
PEACE
I’m grateful to get in bed at 5pm, as soon as I’d eaten. I’m grateful for not having any commitments in the evenings.
I’m grateful to know when I need space, on my own. Saying that, my partner practically followed me up and sat with me for half an hour. He’s gone back down now. I’m grateful we’re not in each others pockets.
I’m grateful I don’t have palpitations any more, I used to have them alot. I’m grateful that I feel much healthier these days.
I’m grateful to read so many positive posts on here, there’s so many people doing so well, it’s great to read

Zest for life
I am grateful for my therapist, my friends, and my family.
I am grateful for DBT and the program of Narcotics Anonymous for showing me that I can live a life completely different from any way I have ever lived a life before.
I am grateful for journaling, for EMDR, and for my body because when I listen to her she tells me exactly what I need when I need it.
I am grateful that I am more present these days, even though I still disassociate at times I can be compassionate with myself and understand that some part of me is trying to keep the other parts of me safe.
I am grateful that my therapist suggested that my BPD is in “remission” due to the fact that I am able to use skills in my daily life instead of resorting to old behaviors. I am grateful to feel relief and a little emotional about this, probably because I think she’s a little full of shit. I have been working so hard over the last 7 years to get to where I am. It has been a really long, really, really hard road. I am grateful I have made it through another day clean, self-injury-free, and free from sugar. My eating disorder is definitely not in remission, my eating disorder is definitely flared up at the moment. I could go through the cliche sayings about " recovery isn’t linear" and " progress, not perfection" but the bottom line is that it’s defeating and exhausting. I am grateful that I only have to go the few hours that I am awake a day battling my wounded brain against turning away food and trying to convince myself that I am safe today.
I am grateful that I can go to bed soon and restart tomorrow.
I am grateful for cereal.
. I’m grateful I care more about my old girl Minnie and the rest of the lot than a clean floor.
