I am grateful I can see and calculate my energy expenses. Itās calming me and gives me distance to all the media.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for morning yoga courses online.
I am grateful that as much as things suck at times in many areas itās gotten better and easier.
I am grateful I can still laugh about whatās going on in German politics. I do what I can do in my life.
I am grateful for TS and that I am learning in a somewhat controlled environment.
I am grateful I have enough.
Morning,
Today Iām grateful for a lovely sleep.
Iām grateful to be going to the theatre later to see Agatha Christieās Mousetrap, my focus would normally be how much wine I could drink, not today.
Iām grateful for contentment, thereās nothing Iām worrying about at the moment.
Iām grateful I have all I need
I am grateful for my new book club and some lighthearted chit chat, kindness and laughter (thinking of you @I.cant.We.can). I really needed to get out of my head a bit and meeting new people helped a lot.
I am grateful for the St. Martins dinner tradition and my friends, that have kept this get togehter going over the years.
I am grateful I donāt have to drink anymore to ease the anxiety being in a group. Nowadays I can just sit with it and try to moderate the critic in my head. In the end all is well.
I am grateful for all the inspiration and food for thought I get from TS - its something that truly enriches my life.
I am grateful I get to read about everyoneās progress in sobriety and to see the magnitude of an impact it has to walk away from addiction. Grateful for you all
Good morning all,
Iām grateful I read this first thing, and it helped to put some perspective in my life.
Im grateful that I slept good, and for my delicious coffee this morning. Im grateful for exercise and that movement changes feelings. Im grateful for the hummingbirds at the feeder this morning. Im grateful for the green trees against the blue sky, and the feeling of joy it brings. It makes me feel like a kid again for a few seconds. Im grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
You did so great At that baby shower!!
Good morning on a Saturday.
Iām grateful to be here and be reminded I have so much to be grateful for. Iāve struggled this week with anxiety and anger. Concentrating on my gratitude is an important strategy for me today.
Iām grateful for a loving and safe home. Some of my upset this week is having to remember what it was like to be unsafe in my childhood home. Even as I am approaching 58 years old, that trauma can jump back out at me. Argh!! Iām so grateful for the love and security I have in my home.
Iām grateful for good health. Iām not sick or injured. My addiction is under control and I have no chronic physical conditions. Iām so grateful for that even as I struggle this week with my anxiety and anger. I have so much to be thankful for and the opportunity to feel peace.
Iām grateful for a stable job that I mostly enjoy. And while I struggle not to be overwhelmed by its demands, all the demands are mostly me being over the top in my own expectations of myself. This is some of the source of my frustration and anger as I am seeking balance and acceptance while Iām activated in my childhood trauma. Those ridiculous parental voices are still in my head, āyou are lazy and no goodā. Argh!! I am grateful to have a professional job that means a lot to me, and seeking balance in that work is best for the long haul.
Iām grateful for a loving marriage. My husband and I are over 17 years together, a second marriage for both of us. We have had the courage to define our narrative in ways that are not how we were raised and weāve persevered with attention to ourselves and our relationship. Iām so grateful to have found him and had the courage to make our way together. Sober living is bringing us closer too. And for that I am grateful.
Iām grateful for the support of my closest friends. When I told my bff that I took a day off this week, she messaged that she was proud of me. She knows of my struggles with working too much and the price that I pay when I donāt get that under control. Iām so grateful to have found her 20 years ago and kept her in my life with so much other change going on around me.
Iām grateful for financial security. We are far from rich, but with our careful planning and simpler lifestyle, I feel safer than ever in this part of my life. Iām grateful to have figured this out for myself and in my marriage.
Iām grateful for this community. Reading of the struggles and accomplishments of others here motivates me every day. Iām sober today because of all Iāve learned. Thank you and I wish you all well.
Grateful to be back home safely, after a week long vacation.
Grateful I learned history ages ago and that makes me understand and appreciate immensely what I see when I travel. I hope I convey this excitement to my kids well.
Grateful for my shower, my bed, my blankets.
Grateful for my home cooked meal.
Grateful Iām going back to work tomorrow in my 2-month notice period. Handing over, mostly.
Grateful I had time to process this change.
Grateful that Iām going to finish this step, and move on to something new.
Grateful for another alcohol-free vacation for me. No hangovers, no sluggishness, no lack of memory.
Grateful, so grateful
Iām Grateful for the Great Spirit of Life and our many sober adventures together.
PEACE
How wonderful that you did a sober vacation. Yay!!
And how great to be home. It is one of the best parts of travelā¦ to come home and love it.
Iām grateful for how feelings can change so quickly.
Iām grateful I been sitting here for 20 or 30 minutes in my own little pity party with Maverick. Iām grateful he knew I needed him this morning. Iām grateful Alice knew I needed her last night. I kinda wish she didnāt sleep on my neck butā¦ā¦ what are ya gonna do? Iām grateful I just sat with Mavy for awhile this morning. Him purring on my lap. What great therapy. Iām going to sound like an advertisement here but Iām grateful I reached over for my coffee in my new Ember coffee and after all this time itās still hot Iām grateful Iām so fucking excited about that! Iām grateful Iām thinking how great that last slug or 3 of coffee was still delicious Iām grateful I quit thinking about how I left Minnie outside in the dark last night for 2 hours . Iām grateful she didnāt drown in the swimming pool. Iām grateful I cried and felt so horrible. Iām grateful I got a clean kitchen floor before 6:30 am. Iām grateful the Waterford crystal glass I knocked over shattered all the way to Flagstaff fucken aye!! the velocity of a crystal glass breaking on a hard tile floor is amazing. Iām grateful my wife never walks barefoot in the house. I donāt think Iāll ever get all the crystal shards picked up. Iām grateful I knocked out another doctors appointment yesterday. Iām grateful Iām not going to stew about the bloodwork that came back and could have been better. Iām grateful I been kind of sad and even depressed but still happy and kind of content throughout the days. Iām grateful life and feelings are just a series of ups and downs. Darkness and light. Positives and negatives. Goodness and evil. Iām grateful I think one of my biggest problems is the fear of being alone. Ya thatās it. Iāve never admitted that before. Iāve never ever lived or been alone. One of us is going to die before the other ok. Iām getting morbid here. No worries. Iām ok. Iām grateful this is just my therapy I had no idea I was going there. But Iām grateful through all the thoughts and calm reflections of things the last 20 to 30 minutes I still got HOT COFFEE!! And Iām still pretty excited about that. Iām grateful itās a nice new Honduran roast Iām trying. Iām grateful I get to choose sobriety every day. Iām grateful itās so much fucking easier. Iām grateful for the cold clear crisp dark morning air with the dogs and the stars and the bright moon each morning.
What Iām grateful for presently makes a difference.
Me
Is that still playing?
Stupid question.
Kinda like asking if it ever rains in Britain?
I loved seeing that one.
I think Iāve seen it twice.
Enjoy the show. Grateful you donāt have to pre order or wait in line for your cocktail.
Waking up grateful. Grateful that I got to go to an NA event last night AND this morning. Grateful for the dimension of fullness this is adding to my recovery. Iām grateful for the mantra on our ST this morning. Iām grateful that when I was working on my second step last night and I was asked āWhat are you hopeful for?ā I realized Iām hopeful for EVERYTHING that I never thought possible. Iām so grateful for this limitless hope. Im grateful that that low roof of addiction has been blown the fuck off.
Iām grateful to talk to, FaceTime, and see my kids so often. I got my haircut yesterday and I didnāt have two feet out the door before they wanted to FaceTime and see it. Iām grateful to have them wound up in my life, as they should be.
Iām grateful for second chances, for the opportunity to do scary stuff. For the opportunity to grow and stretch and be uncomfortable and make that my new comfortable. Then grow and stretch to the new level until thatās my comfortable.
Im grateful that very early on in my recovery I decided that i wanted a super recovery, and im beyond grateful that im still up for the challenge.
Letās all go get our super recovery on.
Good morning sober family!
Im very greatful forā¦

Trying a second round of gratitude. Iām feeling angry and a littleā¦ā¦ I donāt know what the word is, Iām feeling poor me, I get stuck doing everything around here all the time.
Iām grateful for a home to clean because it means we are safe and sheltered. Iām grateful for laundry because it means we are clothed. Iām grateful for family get togethers because it means there are lots of people in my kids lives that love them. Iām grateful we have money for groceries. Iām grateful I have a patio and a rocking chair to sit on and soak up some sun until I feel better. Iām grateful for wind chimes. Iām grateful for other peopleās gratitude to borrow from.
Today Iām grateful Iām in bed already. Grateful for a busy morning and the weekly shopping went well. Grateful I fell asleep on the couch after late lunch. Maybe partly because of my medication I took later as usually today. Iām grateful for medication, it helps me. Missi is purring away on me so Iām grateful Iāll fall asleep very soon
