Good evening. 
I am grateful for teachers, earl grey tea and my bed.
I am grateful for the small town I live in where I am starting to know more of the community.
I am grateful for the dull ache I have in my finger tips from hours and hours of silver smithing.
I am grateful that the energy I put into my work can be felt by the people who see it, hold it, wear it.
I am grateful the universe puts me where I need to be.
I am grateful that my newest sponsee is like a duckling, she is only 21 and she is so willing to learn how to live without dope. She is my little shadow, she takes all the suggestions, she is so open minded and so damn willing.
I am grateful for all that she teaches me.
I am grateful that my daughter felt brave enough to self advocate today at school.
I am grateful for so much, I could write a never ending list.

Today I’m grateful for blackberries in my lunchbox at work. They taste amazing.
I’m grateful I have a safe and cozy house for my family.
I’m grateful for last night’s good night’s sleep. I’m grateful I woke up well rested at 5:24, before my alarm clock.
I’m grateful Thanksgiving is around the corner. I love Thabksgiving, but I’m aware that the previous 2 years it triggered bad relapses. I’m grateful I have full intention of not letting that happen this year.
I’m grateful the people I work with are amazing as a rule, with one particularly horrible person being the exception. I’m grateful that most people are good people.
I’m grateful for this group. I’m grateful for your company every day of my sobriety journey

I’m so grateful for everything I have. I’m so grateful for my family, friends, job, my annoying dog lol, financial security and access to healthcare, food security, and my sobriety. Just everything. I’m grateful to have a partner and puppy that want to snuggle every day. I’m grateful my coworkers are kind. I’m grateful for an extended family that is gracious kind and loves to laugh when times are good and even when things are bleak as they’ve ever been. I’m grateful to be happy, and I’m so so so grateful to be able to appreciate it.
It’s heartbreaking that so many people, on here and everywhere in the world, feel so unhappy. A refrain in the posts here is how much people just want to feel happy, and I wish it were easy and that there was a secret, but the only secret I’ve discovered so far is that alcohol (or whoever’s doc) doesn’t make me happy, it just makes me drunk. Bring drunk is like the aspartame of happiness, it tastes sweet but it is fake and empty, zero calorie happiness. Unfortunately I’ve found real happiness to be more like beekeeping: it’s hard work, scary, you get stung sometimes, but the effort is undeniably real and worth it.
I wish everyone happiness today and every day, and I’m grateful for every little bit of it I’ve worked for and been granted.

I’m grateful to get up at the perfect time to see the pink, purple, and red cotton candy clouds of the sunrise while outside with the dogs first thing this morning. I’m grateful for the awesome sunsets on the other side of the house. I’m grateful this house is northish/southish facing so I don’t have direct desert sun roasting our back deck.
I’m grateful for both my AlAnon meetings this week. And if they gave out chips I guess I would have gotten my 6 months. I’m grateful I don’t know how they measure success in AlAnon, (I’m sure I relapse at least once a day,) so I’ll be grateful to just keep going back.
Speaking of grateful 
I grateful my Gratitude list was broadcast to the world with 15 others on the recovery show podcast. Ya. It made me feel pretty fucking good. Even “special,” while I walked and waited to hear if Spenser was going to use my gratitude list on the air. I’m grateful he even posted links to my favorite 3 recovery songs that I mentioned I was grateful for and are on my AlAnon playlist. I’m grateful I get to come here and I can “show off,” about it.
I’m grateful as I pause right now for the loud peace and quiet in my home.
I’m grateful it will just be the 8 of us for Thanksgiving. My wife, the 4 cats and 2 dogs. I’m grateful my grown up children have their other families to share their Thanksgiving with. I’m grateful as much as I miss them and would love to be with them for these kinds of Holidays, we, my wife and I, both agree we don’t want to ditch our pets for The Holidays. I’m grateful we never have and never plan to.
I’m grateful for my wife and all the shit we have in common. I’m grateful to learn my way is not the only way or even the best way. I’m grateful I’m not the only one who shares that at meetings. I’m grateful to read in Today’s Hope that I shouldn’t label anyone an alcoholic. Especially my loved one. I’m grateful when I do that, it leads me to detachment with resentment. I’m grateful after I read that, it’s like. “I do that 
!”
I’m grateful I can pause and put this down and listen to my wife’s crazy dream from early this morning. She has the craziest of the crazy dreams and remembers so much about them. I’m grateful since I quit drinking I sleep like a log and almost never have any crazy dreams. Or if I do I don’t remember them. Always, always grateful for sober sleep and hangover free mornings.
I’m grateful for the low key Thanksgiving we will have and we are actually cooking this year. I’m grateful for my wife’s tuna dip. And if I play my cards right and just wait for it she’ll make it on her time not mine.
I’m grateful for y’all.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Today I’m grateful for @Frazzetta 's and @Dazercat 's posts. I needed to read that 
Thank you.
I’m grateful for therapy. This was again one of the appointments where I go home and don’t really know what we talked about. I feel calm. I did selfcare today. I lazed around on the couch all afternoon. Or maybe not? I read a lot, here on TS and some codependent literature. Is this being lazy or doing selfcare? Anyway, it was important for me and taking a walk to the solarium was a direct effect to put selfcare from theory to practice after reading. I’m grateful
I’m grateful for my playful cats, they made me laugh. Cardboard box, cats having their 5 minutes 
Today I’m grateful I live alone. I’m kind of sad because my husband will not come home in the evening. This makes me feel of kind of lacking social control and connection. Grateful for the memory. I always was happy when he arrived home. Often it turned into angry or disappointed when I found out he was drunk or he wanted him-time in front of the TV instead of sharing time with me. That hurt. I’m grateful I recognize this pattern. I’m grateful I see that my behaviour did contribute to worsen the situation. It was not helpful. Nor was his. This tango was spiraling down. I still love my husband. I’m grateful for the distance between us. I need healing. I hope he finds healing too.

I’m grateful for contact from one of my family members so someone finally let me know about the passing of another family member.
I’m grateful I am getting to know myself.
I’m grateful I can recognize and sort out emotions before I let them get to carried away today as opposed to when I was drinking or even the first few months of sobriety.
I’m grateful my family trusts me enough to let me know when they feel I am falling short so I can do better.
I’m grateful for my job.
I’m grateful for my sponsor, the 12 steps, my therapist and everyone in my support system.
I’m grateful to know I will lay my head down tonight sober and sleep well or not, I will open my eyes hangover free tomorrow.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I danced last night.
I am grateful internet can help me solve problems I didn’t have faced before.
Sudo apt-get fuck it 
I am grateful there is a manual or tutorial for almost everything.
I am grateful that despite I barely slept I am not hungover.
I am grateful I don’t drink. I wish I could help people. But they are ready when they are ready.
I am grateful I don’t have to form alliances like I did in early sobriety. I am grateful it’s not us against them anymore.
I am grateful for coffee.
I am grateful for so many people here.

I am grateful today for my cozy apartment, nourishing meals and a restful sleep. I am grateful I have friends I can call when I need someone to talk to and who will also call me, when they need support. I am grateful I could let go of some of my overall bitterness and resentment. For the longest time I felt it was other people who had to do something about it. Really it was me, holding on to it. I am grateful I can let go. Now, the Sun ist coming up, coffee is ready - have a wonderful new and sober day, fellow gratidudes.

What a beautiful post! I’m grateful for you and your sharing here
Grateful for the cold weather today. For my delicious pumpkin spice coffee in the morning.
Grateful my family is safe under my roof. Grateful I still have a few years with both my kids at home. I’m grateful I intend to spend these years present and sober.
I’m grateful when my son came home super late last night he apologized. I’m grateful he is a teen who is pushing boundaries but also acknowledging the consequences of his acts. I’m grateful I’m more level-headed now to deal with his mistakes.
I’m grateful we are blessed to have enough.
I’m grateful to be planning Thanksgiving dinner

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a long break from work for Thanksgiving . I’m grateful we are able to host, even if it’s not my choice. I’m grateful that instead of being a martyr and doing everything, then getting angry about it- now I share the responsibilities of bringing the meal together. It makes it much more enjoyable. I’m grateful for family. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️

I’m grateful my first reading was exactly what I needed this morning. It almost always is 
I don’t know whether to do a happy face or frowning face 
but I’m grateful I’ll keep my sense of humor. Even if it’s just to myself. Anyway…. The reading.
I’m grateful for in ODAAT in AlAnon is. “What happened yesterday need not trouble me today.”
I do wish I could read that. Snap my fingers 
and then completely forget about what happened yesterday. But it’s just not that easy. I am grateful that maybe it is getting easier.
I’m grateful I’m powerless over alcohol.
I’m grateful I’m powerless over other peoples drinking.
I’m grateful my timing isn’t always the best timing. It “should” be. 
But it’s not
I’m grateful I’m not fretting about the immediate future. I’m grateful I’m sober and I already played out what’s the worst that can happen scenario. I’m grateful the worst that can happen is I’ll still be sober and I can do anything, and if I have to do everything for Thanksgiving, then I can do that too. And only because I’m sober.
I’m grateful my back feels a bit less hurt this morning.
I’m grateful for my really good ice packs.
I’m grateful I’ve gone over a week without fried food and Advil. Great combination for whatever ails ya 
I’m grateful I haven’t started a new counter for that one. 
yet 
.
I’m grateful for baby Norma gifs.
I’m grateful for cuteness over load.
Grateful I’m not moving to Dallas. No we’re not!!
I’m grateful I get to and love shopping for baby stuff.
I’m grateful for Christmas onesies
I’m grateful for what’s in those Christmas onesies 
I’m grateful I got one more lousy fucking doctors appointment to knock out today at the urologist grateful there’s no peeing Emoji 
No I didn’t look for one.
I’m grateful my quiet time is over and I’m calm and collected. I’m grateful for my hot coffee. I’m grateful for all the support I get here. , and comments, replies, and @. I’m grateful it makes me feel good.
I’m grateful to God and my higher powers. Especially this “home thread.”
Dear past, thank you for your lessons.
Dear future, I’m ready.
Dear God, I’m ready for another day.
