I’m grateful for the basics today.
For finishing work and getting home. I’m grateful to shut my bedroom door and have half an hour in bed before my dinner. I’m grateful for a much needed cup of tea. I’m grateful for quiet.
I’m a little bit jealous of @Frazzetta lying on the couch all weekend. I need to do this. I’ve had stuff on all weekend for weeks now, I’ve not had a minute to myself. I’m definitely feeling it. I’m desperate for a few days off work.
I’m grateful a break is coming.
I’m grateful to have decided not to book or plan anything.
I’m grateful to just want to be at home
I’m grateful for rest
I’m grateful I’m able to slow down and listen to my body.
I’m grateful I can cry, move my body, and allow myself to feel anything that needs to come up.
I’m grateful that I can be kind to the pain and hurt that sometimes flair up in me. Instead of hurting me more I can sit with it. Sometimes it teaches me something and sometimes it just wants to be heard. Both are ok.
I’m grateful for my sobriety
I’m grateful that I have learned about my strength
I’m grateful for kindness
I’m grateful for quiet time
I’m grateful for cooler days
I’m grateful that the sun feels less intense in the fall
I’m grateful I can trust my heart
I’m grateful that love keeps me centered
I’m grateful for naps and meditation
I’m grateful I’m alive
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful my mind slowed down for the moment. It’s still hard to observe it. It’s hard to step back for a moment. Let others allow to calm me. Trust them.
I am grateful I trusted my impulse last night and jumped off the Yoga mat like a maniac and headed out for a walk. Fresh air was what I really needed.
I am grateful for some friends I have. I miss some here.
I am grateful I found by accident a workshop that was streamed due to world diabetes (the blue circle I my pic) day yesterday. A topic was: language matters. I often have this discussion with my mother and it felt good to be validated that: fuck yeah, language matters.
I am grateful I have enough.

Good morning TS! I am waking up grateful, grateful for a fantastic meditation which led to a fantastic sleep. Grateful for a productive conversation with my dad last night and grateful for a friend’s help. Grateful to be going into another work day full of positive energy. Grateful I got my car insurance figured out last night and took another big step towards getting my license back. It’s been 5 years! Grateful for this amazing journey of 2nd chances and a new resonance with life. Grateful that time is still absolutely FLYING, I’m loving this ride. Grateful for my 243 days clean and sober this morning.
Struggling to feel grateful.
I’m grateful I finally feel asleep last night after much crying.
I’m grateful I have a therapy appointment today.
Coffee and hot cocoa.
My cats.
Advil and my heat wrap.
My SAD lamp.
The ability to take a mental health day from work if I need to.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful we have a home that is safe and stable and loving. I’m grateful we have enough ( thanks for this one @anon74766472 ). I’m grateful I will get to see the sunrise on my way to work. I’m grateful for cold temperatures- 37 degrees means I had to pull out my big coat! You freezing in Scottsdale @Dazercat? I’m grateful for love and forgiveness. I’m grateful for my homethread.
Everyone have a wonderful day

The spirit of the universe that connects us all
Love and light my people.
I am grateful for wisdom, the people who teach me so that I can help others. Flow.
I am grateful for support, the opportunity to give it and recieve it. Flow.
I am grateful for the ability to earn money so that I can donate to the fellowship, people in need, purchase my child necessities. Flow.
I am grateful for the night-time and the great sleeps I have had these last three evenings. I feel very recharged. Yesterday I had so much more to give during a step study with a sponsee and today I will too. The night gives to me so I can give away… Flow.
I am grateful for the spiritual awakenings that I see in others, I am grateful for aha moments and cats who bring sanity to people that I love. This exchange of energy is such a power greater than me too, I put my hand on my dog or just feel her rumbling snores against my body and I can be instantly grounded. She is an extension of me… Flow.
I am grateful that I dont worry about sounding insane in recovery because there is no way I am crazier than I was in active addiction. Some people resonate with what I feel, see, understand while others not so much.
I am grateful that I am not bothered anymore about being accepted, that I am owning who I am.
I am grateful for the universe and the Gita.
Today I’m grateful for sleep. I slept nearly all day, I felt so exhausted from the last weeks. Grateful for my snuggling cats.
I’m very happy and grateful the funeral yesterday was wonderful
So many people, my friends and schoolmates, also long-time neighbours and former working colleagues of my mum (she was 92, retired 32 years ago! ). My husband sent a beautiful flower bouquet but did not attend.
It was a marvellous funeral
Hello beautiful people, I’m an alcoholic and I’m currently 3 days sober and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done…so far. I found this app and I love it. So many like me, so encouraging, and that is so rare in this world anymore. Xoxo, Steph
I’m grateful yesterday is over. What a horrid day.
So many high ups and low downs during the day. It really fucked my head.
I’m grateful I’m no longer a Ram Das virgin.
I woke up in a foul mood this morning. Such a foul mood I didn’t even finish my gratitude. Except for the top two lines up there. Instead I did my first Ram Das “awareness,” meditation for 18 minutes. It was pretty good. I’ve been wanting to see what all the fuss was with this fella. Im grateful the best part was after my lovely 18 minutes of meditation with him I still had…….
Wait for it……
Hot coffee.
Now that’s what I’m talking a out.
Im grateful my day got busy and I’m finally settling in for some grateful in a much less foul mood.
Thank you Billy. I am grateful I liked Ram Das’s style. Im grateful it’s not a cult. As far as I can tell.
I’m grateful my bloodwork kinda sucked.
I’m grateful I now know I can work on my cholesterol. Lowering it of course. And learn how to spell it. And grateful to know some of my liver enzymes or bilirubin needs to have an eye kept on it. And rechecked. Im grateful my heart ultrasound results came back strong. I’m grateful I got doctors in place now even though it’s been wearing on my nerves and it sucks! Im grateful to know it’s necessary to get all this shit done.
I’m grateful I didn’t have a swimming pool disaster last night as things looked all fucked up when I got home and really upset me even more. I’m grateful I had just gotten back from an Al-Anon meeting. But the serenity was slipping away slowly. I’m grateful I didn’t say FUCK ALL THIS SHIT!!! and drink. I’m grateful I calmly assessed all my blessed problems and didn’t over react. And ya know what? I’m grateful everything is ok.
I’m grateful I got to talk on the phone with my best childhood friend from my home town, Dracut. I’m grateful he already has 2 granddaughters. I’m grateful he shared is high cholesterol issues with me. I’m grateful he shared he’s going to be in The Santa Camp documentary on HBO Max out Nov 17th. He loves being Santa. He even has his own beard. He actually looks like Santa.
I’m grateful for the cool weather. I’m freezing my cookies off over here @Sunflower1 I’ve lost that thick yankee blood, accent, and attitude over the years. I’m grateful it’s warm in the sun for my walks.
I’m grateful for the “Shared Photo Album” of my granddaughter my DIL created so I get to see updated pics very often.
SoberB. Again. I’m very grateful for you. Looking forward to checking out more Ram Dass meditation. I liked his style straight away on the awareness one.
Thanks again
I’m grateful for each and every gratidude and dudette
“Gratitude is a divine emotion: it fills the heart, but not to bursting; it warms it, but not to fever.”

Welcome Stephanie and big congrats on your 3 days sober. 3 days was huge for me. I’m grateful every day I’m sober. Which is huge for me!!
This gratitude thread is my strongest tool here. I hope to see you around.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful we don’t have quarantine anymore.
I am happy I am taking the bus to work and will walk back. Always be prepared for worst case scenario
I am grateful my mind calmed down a bit.
I am grateful Jan gave us an update last night.
I am grateful for the podcast on confidence Vs hope heard last night.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful that alcohol is not my medication anymore.
Woke up from a good night’s sleep and feel refreshed
Thank you @Pandita @desert_rose @Soberbilly @PinkyP @anon74766472 @Dazercat and all of you - I’m sure I did not tag all - for your kindness.
I’m still grateful the funeral was wonderful. I’m grateful the guests perceived the eulogy cheerfully and harmonious. The orator and I texted on it together. I’m grateful for professional orators at funerals I’m grateful a personal text from me to my mum was recited before the urn was buried.
I’m grateful for the flowers, the arrangements were beautiful.
To be honest I’m grateful the ceremony is over and I will go back to normal life now. Whatever this normal life will be
I’m grateful for my old boy, he slept beside me and warmed me all night long. Now he is purring on my chest after vomiting hairballs downstairs🤦♀️ I’m grateful I learned to relax. I will clean it up when I go downstairs.
I’m grateful delicious tea from yesterday evening is waiting for me, I only have to warm it.
I’m grateful I start to see daylight, it’s almost 7 a.m.
I’m grateful I’ve had a clear mind for the past 228 days.
I’m grateful I find life beautiful again, without the need for crutches or artificial “enhancers”
I’m grateful I don’t use alcohol as a sleep aid anymore. I love the sensation of going to sleep tired at the end of the day and drifting off according to my natural body rythm. It was a long process to re-learn how to sleep, but 1000% worth it.
I’m grateful that I put my best effort into what I do, and fail or succeed, I can be at peace that I didn’t cut myself short because I was impaired.
I’m grateful for life. All of it. The wonderful and the tough. I watched “Inside Out” again, now without being tipsy, and I’m grateful I have a full range of emotions and all of them are necessary to be a functioning human being.
Much love to you all
Struggling with this today.
I’m grateful for supportive people at work that allow me to take the day off. My boss is the best.

I am grateful to God. I am grateful for All my family, friends, and the gratidudes. I am grateful that I can admit I am currently not working on my recovery however I am pretty healthy, happy and busy. I am grateful to be settling in to a new permanent position that I have been offered at the fruit Growers. I am grateful I heard from one of my counsellors today reminding me to come back to the rooms and groups. I am grateful for two weeks and one day without cigarettes.
God bless you all. &
P.s. I believe in you. Ya you!!
So good to see you back, Brian. Fighting the good fight. This sounds great with the fruit growers.
