Tonight I’m just grateful I was strong enough to fight through my demons.
I am grateful to be sober. 1500 days in a row. The single most important thing I achieved so far.
I am grateful to be sleeping okay. I accept my sleeping pattern atm.
I am grateful I could get my feelings out here yesterday. Also identifying them better than good or bad is important. Getting thrown back into old memories from time to time is also okay. They come and will go and often I am just thinking: thank god this is not my reality anymore.
I am grateful we shared our impressions about our company meeting yesterday and had all the same impression: deceived. Irritated.
I am grateful I have enough.
Hey @Bootz , it’s too cold. Longer socks are needed today but they are warm as well. Thank you
Who is 'understanding addiction written by? Sounds a good read!

Liked this naked mind by annie grace too
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for some time this morning to do my gratitude before work. I’m grateful I took time to prepare some breakfast and lunch things for this week, which will make my days easier. I’m grateful for the rainy day we had yesterday, and grateful that it’s not currently raining for my 1 hour 45 minute commute. Im grateful for recovery and true crime and history podcasts for these drives. I’m grateful that I am able to be present for others. I’m grateful I live my life now, not just drink to get through it. I’m grateful for this thread that is so important in my recovery.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️
Congrats on 1500, that’s amazing
Today I am grateful that I know I need gratitude to start my day. I am grateful that I am able to take care of myself. I’m grateful that my body has more wisdom in it then my greatest philosophies. I’m grateful I can show up for myself. I’m grateful that anything meant for me will not pass me by. I’m grateful that fear, pain, anxiety are teachers not something to bury or numb. I’m grateful I can be with myself. I’m grateful I have tools to stay grounded. I’m grateful that love and letting go holds more power then fear and control
Grateful for the Lord rescuing me from myself and that my children are healthy and for my wife who has stuck by my side no matter what.
Grateful to feel a bit better-past few days I felt a bit ick, but I’m medium ready to tackle life again. Did not do a great job adhering to my health and wellness goals this weekend, but I’m going to try not to let it get me down! I’m grateful to be sober, to feel hopeful, to feel less anxious and depressed.
- I’m grateful for my little electric Snow Joe yesterday. Cleared a long narrow path down the driveway so we can walk the dogs.
- I’m grateful for my little electric Snow Joe shovel I can use out back to get snow off the deck. For the dogs of course. And get a place for them to do their business. It’s like pushing a vacuum instead of the lifting.
- I’m grateful my pride and manhood didn’t get in the way of me purchasing these items a couple of years ago. Because my back would be killing me now from shoveling yesterday.
- Manhood ??? I’m grateful I’ve never really had any manhood .
Codependency manhood - I’m grateful we got all our Christmas stuff wrapped and boxed together and we mail them today.
- I’m grateful I asked my wife to help me do it. It may sound stupid. I know it’s not. But the old me would have put on my martyr hat a would have been wrapping and boxing etc… by myself while she drinks wine. Because of course my timing, RIGHT NOW, is best.
- I’m grateful I just asked her when do you want to wrap and box this stuff up? And we did it together and had fun on “our time.” It didn’t matter she had a glass of wine while doing it. No it didn’t!
- I’m grateful at almost 63 I can still learn how to act. It’s the remembering
- I’m grateful I said NO the other evening when I usually would have said yes. As I was thinking about it later, repercussions and all I thought. She’s probably not thinking about it anymore. Why am I? I said No. What’s the big deal? And chances are, since it was evening she probably wouldn’t remember anyway. I was able to “let it go,” much sooner than usual.
- I’m grateful Robbie @Rockstar24777 checked in today. May whatever Faith or Higher Power or Self keep you strong and comfort you.
Sharing Enriches My Life.

Thank you very much Eric
I am grateful for a clean bill of health!
Again, too much gratitude to keep up
Today I’m grateful for therapy. I cried all my emotions out there. Grateful for a friend who said something very wise. Grateful for a full fridge. Grateful I did give in and texted some harsh, semi-polite messages to my husband. I’m fed up with his bullshit and I’m freezing. It’s shitty cold these days. I want my winter cloths. NOW.
I’m grateful for my cats, they are so lovely and give me cuddles, snuggle up and speak to me
I’m grateful for sitting with my grief, thinking of the losses of this year and in general. I’m grateful it will lighten some day. ODAAT
Late night gratitude.
It’s my last week at my current job. I’m grateful I have high hopes for the next chapter.
Grateful for the meaningful, deep connections I made with so many people. The amazing words of my co-workers brought me to tears more than once today. Grateful for them. Grateful for the knowledge I carry with me now. For the memories, for the relationships. For the meanigful contribution I made to projects. So grateful.
Grateful I have two more days to check in with those who are important to me. Grateful there are many.
Grateful I can proudly say that during the most challenging times this year, I didn’t have a drink. It’s no longer the deeply ingrained response to stress I used to have a year ago. Happy and grateful for the new me.

Right back atcha! You posts are always thoughtful, and your shirt collection is pretty cool!
…WOW for me too!
I find it incredible the connections I have here in this forum and the insightful responses I receive.
I don’t think anyone who knows me in person for years could have written it better, @Bootz
A new job in Jan, and preparing for a move but not for the first 6 months. I will use the serenity prayer often and any tools suggested, because I’m very aware that the next year can put my sobriety to test in a whole different level.
I saw the post of someone who almost made it a year and is starting from day 1 again. It was eye opening. As I approach 9 months, I think I’m getting a bit too confident that a glass of white wine is not that dangerous after all.
I’m grateful for all of your insights, reminders, shares, and love - yes, love, because that is what I call when someone cares enough to reach out and make sure others are/will be alright.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone. Grateful for all of you
Let’s find out together, shall we? I’ve got butterflies in my stomach, and will probably have to check in often during the holidays…but gearing up to make it happen.
Grateful for you, Billy!
Now I’m crying
Grateful you made it home
