I’m grateful that I went on a walk with a friend today, she likes to talk about herself but that was ok today. I was grateful to get home to my woodburner, I was freezing.
I’m grateful to get a job done and dusted that I didn’t want to do. It feels good to get it out of the way.
I’m grateful to have cleaned my fridge this morning, another job done.
I’m grateful my partner didn’t drink last night, I was in bed and he text to say he was thinking of driving to the shop. I told him to play it through, he didn’t go.
I’m grateful

Good afternoon, its 1:11.
I am grateful I feel hungry.
I am grateful I feel love, and sadness and peace.
I am grateful that I can recognize my emotions as a normal thing today and not try to label myself as moody or unstable.
I am grateful that I dont sit in sadness for too long and that I can easily feel happy again. That is not unstable, that is a blessing.
I am grateful that I am done trying to find out whats “wrong” with me. I finally have my answer, I am an addict.
I am grateful this disease can be arrested.
I am grateful my perspective has changed. Sometimes nourishing myself looks like peeling the plastic off the top of prewashed spinach and eating it right out of the package. I cant take the chance I will be overwhelmed by too much prepping… Last year I was berating myself for this. “Youre so fucked still, how can you be so damaged, you cant even handle cooking…” and this year I see these behaviors so differently. " Wow, that is so smart and resourceful, what a great way to work within your tolerance." I am grateful for therapy, wow am I ever grateful for therapy. Even though I am still unwell, I dont feel spiritually bankrupted which is such a gift. I am grateful that my soul is full, that I love myself and understand the sick, scared parts of my psyche.
I am grateful for my journey, this beautiful journey.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I slept well, I even fell asleep at 4 am for an hour.
I am about to take the bike. It’s funny somehow to observe my thoughts, calculations. It’s below -10 degree which is a bit cold for this time of the year and for my hands. Because no matter which gloves my hands will take the surrounding temperature 
I am grateful for a nice call with a friend yesterday.
I am grateful I don’t dread Sundays anymore. I actually like them.
I am grateful I don’t work somewhere where I have to sell shit for gold.

Good morning all,
I’m grateful for my life today, and that I feel like I am actually living instead of of surviving from drink to drink. I’m grateful for a clean and warm home, and the family in it. I’m grateful we have enough ( I love that saying Franzi). I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I am grateful to be going to work sober knowing that I am not going to jail today, that I will be able to see my wife and kids today, that I don’t have to worry about finding and using drugs. Today I am grateful for my savior Jesus Christ who rescued me from my bondage to drugs and the lifestyle

- I’m grateful I took a long hot scalding shower before bed last night.
- I’m grateful I slept through the night solidly. 7 uninterrupted hours. Couldn’t believe it was already 6.
I wonder
………… - I’m grateful after my morning chores and a few sips of coffee, I remembered there was an 8 minute “Calm Morning Ritual” meditation by London Porter on insight timer I wanted to try and I did. It was a gorgeous 8 minutes. Best part is I didn’t feel I “needed,” it.
- I’m grateful I still had hot coffee sitting right next to me to drink after it
- I’m grateful to look out my huge windows now that there’s daylight, and see the oatmeal frosted cookie looking, pine trees filling my view.
- I’m grateful it was just the right amount of snow 3-5 inches maybe, and not the 5-8 that was predicted.
- I’m grateful Alice is up and out early and purring on my lap.
- I’m grateful I broke out one of my grandmothers quilted blankets she made for my mother, I can feel her presence here with me.
- I’m grateful I got off my ass yesterday afternoon before the snow storm and took a good walk in the cold blustery pre storm weather.
- I’m Grateful for my Frosty
The Snowman, made of synthetic lights that change color and constantly twinkle. It’s one of my first family, (with my wife and kids,) Christmas decorations that I unexpectedly came across in a moving box that I unpacked. And also brings back great memories when my children were young.
Nothing can work damage to me except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me and never am a real sufferer except by my own fault.

Im not crying you are.
I am grateful my mom lives across the lawn and I am pretty sure she has the schoolhouse quilt my grandma made me when I was little. I want it. I have not been able to get my grandma off my mind for the last few months. I am grateful she was such a soft and beautiful soul. Her presence warmed any room she graced. I am grateful she moved west from Ontario so that I got to spend more time with her and so did my mom. I am grateful that my mom was able to nurse her through her terrible death with ALS. And I am grateful that we put a photo of both my grandmothers on our christmas tree every year. I am grateful I can remember what her hands looked like and how soft her skin was when she had this human form. I am grateful that Eric is so right; when people put creative energy into making things those objects forever hold their essence. I am so grateful for that.
I am grateful to have so many opportunities to be of service this month. I have reached to both areas for PR. The first area I started my recovery journey in is in dire need of panel presenters so I put my name forward. I am grateful I had already done orientation for that area so I could get going right away. I am grateful to be on a panel this sunday at a womens recovery house. 
I am grateful that my Xmas shopping is complete and I think that I did ok staying within a reasonable budget… 
If spoiling people is a character defect then I think it will be the last one I address.

I’m grateful for the serenity prayer, for food in the fridge, for friends I can call and cry on their shoulders.

Grateful to have just put my sober head on my pillow one more day, I love it.
Grateful to think and feel through my days now, I don’t just ‘get through’ them, waiting til I can pour a large glass and practically down it within minutes of walking through the door.
Grateful to feel peaceful, I’m not pretending to be someone I’m not or ignoring issues or cringing over things I’ve said or done. I am literally just me now. It is liberating. I’m grateful to be free.
I’m grateful these one days are adding up to lots of days, it feels good. I’m happy.

I’m grateful I received this in the mail today. The sweetest gift from one of my soul sisters on TS.
I’m grateful I would not have 441 days of sobriety without the help of this community. I’m grateful that the universe gives you signs when you most need them. I’m grateful life is a practice. I’m grateful that I am me. I’m grateful that I can be kind and gentle with myself. I am grateful that I am learning to make my life what I want it to be
