I am grateful to be sober.
I’d be lying saying that I always like it. I often find myself in the same situations again and again. (Shit stinks but it is warm as well.) But my memory is playing tricks. I am doing better. I am grateful I can see this. It’s sometimes infinite small steps. But I come out of endless loops quicker and won’t drown them in a bottle of wine.
I am grateful for my apartment, for food in the fridge and warm water. I am grateful I can write all this in my warm bed.
I am grateful I have enough.

Morning,
I’m grateful to realise that I’ve been grumpy the last few days. I thought it was because I’ve not stopped lately and have been so busy and I’m tired and waiting for next week when we go away for a few days. But Sunflower made me realise that I’m p’eed off with people not pulling their weight. Leaving stuff by the dishwasher, not wiping the sides, leaving the recycling by the back door. Lots more little things but they add up and build up. I said a while ago that I shouldn’t sweat the small stuff and it’s true, but some people just take the mickey.
I’m grateful to be grumpy. I told my partner to let me just be like this, I’m never like this, I need to be grumpy.
I’m grateful to let others know when they need to pull their fingers out.
I’m grateful for another lovely sober sleep.
I’m grateful I’m visiting my dad later and my 2 daughters are coming too. It’s never a pleasant visit, nice to see him and spend time with him but sad and upsetting

Thank you @PinkyP for reminding me how grumpy a pile of things made me my husband should put away and did not. I’m grateful I live on my own again so the only person in charge to do things is ME! I realize I accustomed to it and like it 
Grateful for soooo much sleep yesterday afternoon and night. The dreams were straining but I got up at 5 a.m. to clean the house for tomorrow’s after funeral get together. Soon a friend will come over to help me. Grateful for friends!
Now I enjoy the lovely sun waiting for the entrance floor to dry. Grateful for beautiful autumn weather.
I am nervous to get some additional chairs from my mum’s house, emotions are high. Might ask my friend to accompany me, it’s only 10 min. drive.
I’m grateful I managed to do sooo much on my own. Progress, not perfection. Nobody will notice if something is not perfect. They will be here to support me, not to visit a show-home.
Now I cry because I’m grateful to get all this off my chest and let it out here on TS. I’m so grateful for this forum and you all

Good morning, everyone!
Grateful for loving kindness meditation.
Grateful for learning to be kind to myself first, and that an act of kindness on others is never wasted. It may not be received as intended, but it never is wasted.
Grateful for my good ol’ coffee maker (yes, the cheap one that leaks a bit when I pour).
Grateful for my dog, the cutest little furrball, sitting quietly next to me when I meditate.
Grateful to start back our family routine - but different now to accommodate all the changes in our lives.
Grateful I can take care of my family much better now that I am sober. I did lots of wonderful things for/with my kids over the years…but the massive effort that was necessary and the anxiety it generated to accomplish that while drinking was insane. I’m so glad things are not just as good, but way better now. Without the unnecessary struggle.
Much love to you all

I am grateful I could let go of some major resentments the past few days. Its been a huge step for me and a great relief, to be honest. I hadn’t realized how tense it made me feel to hold on to these grudges. It was in the way of feeling connected.
I read somewhere here on TS that forgiveness is a choice. It was a memorable remark to me and really made me think. There is probably a bit more to it, but in essence I feel it’s true. It’s the choice to focus on the good, that came out of the pain and the lesson learned from it. It’s the choice to see the other side and acknowledge, that they probably didn’t intent to hurt you. Its the choice to make your own heart lighter, not theirs. I am grateful to be able to move on and do better next time.

Happy Sunday morning
I’m grateful for another great night of sleep.
I’m grateful for a warm bed with my winter pajamas, my chihuahua, and my hubby nearby snoring away.
I’m grateful that I had time to take a long walk by myself on Saturday and clear my head of the stuff that has been stressing me this last month. It was very helpful.
I’m grateful to be more aware of my stress and even the troubles that my brain is processing in sobriety. In the past I would have numbed it all and then just cleaned up the hangover. Instead of that I’m really becoming aware of what is happening in my body and brain and am seeking healthy relief.
I’m grateful for this community. Processing this learning with all of you is a gift as well. My family and friends are probably grateful too so they don’t have to listen to me talk it all out. Hehehe
I’m grateful for work that I mostly enjoy. Not gonna lie, I was feeling overwhelmed and a bit resentful last week. But my day off and some time to clear my head has changed my perspective again. This coming week will be fine. Teaching is hard work and losing my balance at times makes me irritable. The kids don’t deserve this and I just need to calm the fuck down.
I’m grateful for a warm house and the early morning coffee.
Im grateful for public libraries. I’ve always read a lot of books. But now in sobriety and in living a less complicated life overall, there are still thousands of books I want to read and I’m so grateful that I can do that for free with my library card! There is nothing more relaxing than a cup of coffee and my books.
I’m grateful that we have some extended holidays in the next two months. Thanksgiving break is one of my fav times of year. And at Christmas we are headed to our favorite home near a beach in Georgia. Im grateful to be at the stage of life where I plan vacations that are relaxing, and not over the top.
I wish you all the best and most of all peace.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful I slept good. I’m grateful for the eggnog I used in my coffee this morning, it was delicious. I’m grateful that yesterday was fun having family over to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. I’m grateful there are so many people who love my kids. I’m grateful I feel more peaceful today. I’m grateful I spoke up to my husband yesterday about how I was feeling. It wasn’t well received, and it was tense between us the rest of the day, but I said what was bothering me. I hardly ever spoke up about anything when I was drinking because I figured putting up with drunk me canceled out pretty much anything wrong the other person was doing. I speak up now, and it’s a hard adjustment for others sometimes. I’m grateful the sun is coming up.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I am grateful for the wins in life, the big ones, the small ones, the ones that we don’t see ourselves but everyone else does.
I am grateful for boundaries and honesty.
I am grateful for children and their beautiful souls. I am grateful for their innocence, their sense of humor, and their lack of sense sometimes.
I am grateful for laughter, games, and for homemade cards.
I am grateful that my life is so damn full, I do stretch myself thin, but it’s so hard not to want to spend time with all of these beautiful people.
I am so grateful for love and for the amount of true love I feel every day.
I am grateful that I don’t ever have to get loaded again.

Sending thoughts, prayers and love your way today, @erntedank
Grateful my kids and I are sick, but it’s most likely a bad cold. Nothing as bad as my bout of COVID last year. Grateful we are fortunate to be strong enough to fight it off, and that we have a warm house, good food and the option to rest and recover.Grateful for hot tea, and that I can make chicken noodle soup to comfort us all.
Grateful for my hubby. I’m grateful he is away and will not get sick too.

I’m grateful I’m powerless over alcohol and people.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful for step 2.
I’m grateful I heard it is a step of HOPE.
I’m grateful ”Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”
I’m grateful I can break it down and just “Come to believe.”
I’m grateful last nights topic was “Let Go And Let God.”
I’m grateful to learn my conviction to God is/was holding me back on this Higher Power thing.
I’m grateful to ask myself, “Why do they have to be the same?”
I’m grateful for Ah Ha 
moments.
I’m grateful whatever restores me to sanity can be my higher power.
I’m grateful I realized yesterday anything can be my higher power, especially if it is restoring me to sanity.
My Saturday morning started off right SHIT, with that broken crystal and vacuuming and mopping my floor before I had my coffee. 
.
I’m grateful when I sat down after that, Maverick got on my lap, and I didn’t know it at the time. But ya. He restored my sanity 
. He was my higher power at that moment. I’m grateful I can remember we just sat there, here, the 2 of us. Him purring. Me petting him for quite awhile. And my sanity was definitely restored. No doubt about it.
I’m grateful awhile back I wrote I was grateful for my God and my higher powers of music and nature and humor. That was a few months ago and it actually kind of scared me to write that.
I’m grateful I can still have One God and as many higher powers as I need to restore me to sanity. And that’s ok. I’m grateful my God loves me and He knows what’s in my heart.
I’m grateful I’m looking forward to sitting in step 2 for awhile. And let go. Or try really hard to let go of everything else.
I’m grateful I still have hot coffee 
I’m grateful I don’t need an app to have hot coffee.
I’m grateful if I want to adjust the temp then I need the app. I’m grateful the temperature is just fine 
I’m grateful presently everything is just fine.
I’m grateful y’all are my higher power in the morning 
Since I know God has created all things.
Then God has created my higher powers.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7.”

Actually grateful for a Monday morning for once! Spent the entire weekend in pajamas, snuggled on the couch snoozing and not doing a damn thing. Like, literally the entire weekend, and it was nice but I’m glad to be forced to get up and get moving this morning or I’d be on the couch still. Normally I would be hard on myself and beat myself up for wasting the weekend, but honestly I never sleep that much so I must have needed it. Anyway, I’m grateful for the resources and support that I have that allow me to spend days doing as close to nothing as humanly possible, but that also help me maintain focus on my goals and remind me to get up and get moving as well.
