Everyone here and their support and compassion for others who are struggling
Evening check-in. Grateful to see @I.cant.We.can around Great to hear you’re doing fine!
Grateful I rearranged my PCs at the office and it all work It’s so nice to have a clean desk.
I feel a bit nervous today, no special reason. I’m grateful I noticed it and made another pot of tea. Tea always helps
Grateful for a long nap in the afternoon. I fell asleep while reading emails oops! Grateful I accept that I only have a certain amount of energy to spend through the day. I need to pause and relax or my body makes me pause
I’m grateful for three lovely, snuggling, purring cats who love me
I’m grateful emotions come and go, so can sit and cry, that’s ok. ODAAT
I havent been posting my gratitudes on the thread but have been keeping up reading all of yours. I had to jump on and express gratitude for seeing Brians today. Brought a smile to my face.
I miss maxine @maxwell but no doubt she is keeping busy with max and riley.
Im grateful for my sobriety and all i am both learning and changing about myself.
Im grateful for all of your shares every single day you gove me hope.

Everyone here sharing in their sober journies!
Lets go out and slay the day soberly! Light and love to all
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful for hangover free mornings.
I’m grateful for headache free mornings and good nights sleep. That wasn’t case case Tue/Wed
I’m grateful I’m starting off with a much better attitude today. I’m grateful I found out my cholesterol levels are high and I been doing some googling because I want to fix it. TODAY I’m grateful when I catch myself going back to old, trying to control the situation, habits. I’m grateful I don’t have to eat a 5 gallon bucket of oatmeal or black beans today to fix my cholesterol today. I’m grateful to walk with my higher power, “Music,” yesterday and realize “you’re doing it again ” I’m grateful I can read and learn about my cholesterol and hopefully I can fix it. I’m grateful I know exactly how to do that. One Day At A Fucking Time!! Just like everything else. ODAAT. I’m grateful I can’t and don’t have to do more than that.
I’m grateful I’m learning how to spell cholesterol. At least good enough now the spell checker knows what I mean.
I’m grateful I’m so powerless over people and alcohol. I’m grateful I’ve come to believe in powers greater than myself. I’m grateful to God.
I’m grateful I got a fun day of duct cleaning and sealing at the house.
I’m grateful we bought our turkey and we know where we will be for Thanksgiving.
I’m grateful because of my high cholesterol, and the fact my wife generally has high cholesterol, but never goes to the doctor. Can’t seem to control that either, she’s decide to download the Noom app and work on her health. I’m grateful even though it may seem like she’s saving calories for glasses of wine. She is. I’m grateful it’s still something. I’m grateful I can’t judge. I’ve done that before with weight watchers. I’m grateful maybe we can at least be on a healthier diet together. ODAAT.
I’m grateful for my AlAnon playlist. I heard a song yesterday I must of added but didn’t recognize. Strawberry Letter 23 by Shuggie Otis. Thank you again SoberB. I’m grateful you’re here and for your influence on part of my recovery.
I’m grateful Brian checked in and I saw M lurking. I’m grateful it would be nice to get a two-fer back here on the G-Dude thread. You are both missed. And very much loved
I’m grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful I got to start my day with gratitude.
And yes the coffee’s still hot.
I’m grateful one of my little h.p just got on my lap
The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.

@I.cant.We.can Brian, made me smile to see your post, welcome back
Today I’m grateful to realize I’m more valued at my work than I could have imagined. The past 6 months have been brutal - a horrible boss will do that to you. I’m so grateful that, push comes to shove, I have immense support from my peers, juniors, and bosses. This means a lot to me. I pour my blood, sweat and tears into what I do. I treat people fairly, and have empathy. Kindness does not make me a pushover. I get the job done, and treat everyone with respect. I’m so happy to have the recognition that this was important, that my contribution was important.
Heart full today. A clear mind and a clean conscience.
Today I’m grateful for office @ home. The technical check went well, all PCs are functioning as they should, the printer is printing and I got everything ready for the general assembly tomorrow. Grateful I’m a bit nervous allthough it’s the 9th general assembly I document for Arche Noah and supply the proceedings. Grateful I got all the documents and papers I need in advance today and I’m well prepared. I’m grateful life goes on one day at a time.
Grateful for the big box the catfood came in. The catfood is stored, the cats play in the box
Grateful for cats sleeping on me while I was reading. Grateful I did not fall asleep today. Grateful for green tea.
Grateful for you all and your shares. Congrats to all on milestones and on another sober day. ODAAT and good night
Grateful for morning talks with my mom
A night of uninterrupted sleep
Being able to be friendly with my ex-husband
Winter boots
Sour patch kids
Recognizing a trigger and working through it
Dream Analyses
Living alone so I can sing loudly in the shower
Inspirational talks with my former counselor at the detox center
I can’t begin to put into words how grateful I am to have broken up with booze!
I am grateful that we celebrate milestones in recovery, congrats to the souls celebrating today. A friend of mine and homegroup member will be taking her 20 year cake tonight, what inspirations you all are.
I am grateful that said friend still works her program like the day she came to NA, and I am grateful it has kept her clean.
Sounds shitty to say but I am also grateful for the woman who I am close to who couldnt take her 19 year NA cake last week, I am grateful to see up close and personal what letting your program fall to shit leads to. Relapse. She is “only” smoking weed as she puts it, and her life had already become completely unmanageable before she started using again.
I am grateful to be openminded today and willing to learn from other peoples mistakes. Never in my life have I been this way before, I needed first hand pain in order to understand. I am done feeling that shit and Im grateful I have grown up a bit.
I am grateful that I can help by donating things that I make when I dont have the cash to give.
5 hrs later…
I am grateful that I dont use drugs today, I was just smashed in the face with a crystal (no pun intended) clear vision of how I lived my past. I was insane, I lived somewhere in between thinking people couldnt see me and not caring if they could while I would use openly on the busy streets of Vancouver.
I am grateful for the reminder of where my life could go within the blink of an eye, and I am fucking grateful to call myself out on some " Im better than them " bullshit thoughts. My first though when I saw those two smoking dope was… “what the fuck clean your pipe, I would never have smoked from a filthy pipe like that.” Bullshit. I was smoking dirt and doritos trying to get high off shit I thought was in the carpet.
I am grateful my wisdom speaks loud and clear now and my addict voice sounds like an teenager.
I am grateful that I have the funds to get my winter tires put on and that I will be safer now.
I am grateful to be clean today, to be saner, happier and to have so much love in my life.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can take the bus when I don’t feel like cycling. I am grateful I can walk back.
I am I have warm home, electricity and food in the fridge. I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful to be waking up to a snow powdered landscape. First snowflakes still make me gleeful like a 7 years old. I am grateful I don’t need to pick up a bottle anymore to deal with the long and dark winter nights. I can fill my evenings with joyfull things like cooking, reading, doing sports or hanging out with friends. I am grateful I finally feel worthy of connection and love and know how to protect my boundaries. I am very grateful to be alive today
