That hit me hard. I’m very grateful your suicide attempt failed too. I’m so grateful your soul gets to be peaceful, joyous, and free. I’m grateful for your story and your sobriety.
Im grateful for meditation, aka, the brain gym. Im so grateful for neuroplasticity and the fact that I can absolutely work to rewire my mental condition. I’m grateful for gratitude, for the exact same reason. Life is too short and too precious not to have as much peace and as much joy as we can train ourselves to accrue and appreciate. I’ve really doubled down on my rcovery work (step work, meditation, meetings, fighting with my phone to post my gratitude) since Christmas when I was slammed with anxiety from who knows where and I’m really grateful to say this morning I feel a difference. I have that glow-y feeling back in my stomach. It’s really awesome. That’s definitely a feeling worth fighting for. I’m grateful I introduced my children to Ram Dass and I’m grateful I found a meditation introduction to show them on Netflix. I’m grateful for the powerful and beautiful crystals that they blessed me with during December. Grateful I get to spend tonight with my youngest. GRATEFUL to be starting 2023 right. I am grateful to be starting this New Year intentionally, not just falling into it.
I’m grateful for the very slow, very steady progress I have been making, even financially. Its so slow I couldn’t see much growth for awhile but I can definitely see it. I’m very grateful to myself for hanging tight during hard days. I’m very grateful I pick my hard. Because recovery is hard. But being in active addictin is hard too. Today I choose which hard I want to fight. For this insight, and wisdom, i grateful.
A joyous New Year to you all.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I won’t be hungover tomorrow.
I am grateful that I don’t have to be afraid of someone destroying my car tonight because I don’t have one 
I am grateful tonight is just another night.
I am happy I liked what I cooked.
I am grateful I don’t have to go out tonight. I don’t like the whole NYE cracker and booom and noise.
I wish everyone a good night and a happy new year soon.
Last day of the year…immersed in nature, embraced by the tropical breeze, watching the clouds go by and the waves crash.
Running on sand and swimming in the ocean with my brother, talking with my dad, walking with my mom, holding my baby nephew, enjoying the happiness of the kids as they play and interact with their cousins…
I’m so grateful I’m fully here, experiencing every minute. No, it’s not all roses…there is some aggravation here and there like in any family. But when I look at how much I have to be grateful, those are such small and irrelevant things to be bothered with!
I finish the year closing in 9 months without alcohol. Milestone coming up on jan 2. I’m beyond grateful for this year. I learned so much about myself. I overcame lots of trying situations and didn’t try to “switch off”, instead I faced them. I learned to cope with my emotions. I experienced times with family and friends in a meaningful way. I slept soundly many, many nights. I had a clear mind to make reasonable decisions. I’ve accepted that I am human and flawed. But also that I can always try to better myself. To make a meaningful, positive difference. Big or small, it doesn’t matter. To bring a smile to someone’s face…sometimes to my own face 
To see beauty in the simplest things. To feel love. That’s the whole point, in the end, isn’t it?
I’m incredibly grateful to have had your company and support this year. You all made an immense difference in my life. I really could not have made it alone.
Wish you all an amazing start of 2023…looking forward to this new sober chapter together. Sending much, much love to you all! 
PS: Edited to add that I’m very, very grateful for my husband’s quiet support through it all. I know it was not easy on him to have someone who changed every month right next to him…sometimes in a wonderful way, sometimes in an angry way, sometimes in an endless sobbing way, sometimes in a blissful way, sometimes in a very quiet way. He appreciated what I did, couldn’t fully understand, but stood by through thick and thin. I hope 2023 will be easier for us both, navigating a sober journey. Grateful to love him and to have his love in return
Today I’m grateful I’m at home. Same procedure as every year. Lazying on the couch, cats sleeping while there’s this fucking boom bang noise from fireworks and firecrackers outside. I’m grateful they don’t mind and are calm. So many animals suffer from this bullshit noise.
I’m grateful for nice chats with friends today. I’m grateful I sent my ex some lovely pictures from 2022 and wished him a happy new year. Not that he would react to it, that’s ok. I wanted to share the last joint memories and close this book today. I’m grateful I’m at peace with most of what went wrong between us. I did a lot of work and therapy the last 6 months. I’m grateful it helped me to let go and let god.
I’m grateful for a full week of absolute lazyness and relaxing at home. I’m grateful I found a good closure on this annus horribilis. I’m grateful letting a lot of feelings behind me 
I’m grateful I’m already tired and will go to bed soon. Did not sleep well last night, no big thing. But first: dinner for cats
This is great too hear, I had difficult time over Xmas period and just woke up feeling a bit back in control of my feelings and sobriety.
Your very good with words to, this especially had how’s I felt today too :
90 days Congratulations to you 
Congratulations on your NINETY Jon
Congrats on 3 months!! @Jon_Ian
I thank you so much I appreciate it
Morning,
Today I’m grateful for another first, New Year’s Eve. I was gratefully in bed just after 10.30pm.
I’m grateful to read the shares from around the world, we’re all in this together.
I’m grateful for a quiet life these days, just how I like it 
Congrats on 3 months! That’s amazing! What a great way to celebrate the new year 
Thank you, M! This time of year sure keeps us busy. I’m grateful there’s enough of us spread across many time zones.
I’ll try to catch up today here.
For now I am grateful to be sober.
I went to bed early as usual and slept like a baby after I looked into online dating app which overwhelmed me and I broke down somehow.
But waking up with a clear mind, a new day is always rewarding.
I am grateful I have enough.
This does sound good, I’m gratefull that through all the hard and dark I can constantly see cracks of light, break-through. I’m grateful that I notice this and cherish it and appreciate all the light in my life… I know there is more I’m only just starting to realise … There’s is still so much to see all around us as we grow.
I’m so gratefull I see with me eyes open and not blinded by addiction still. I’m also gratefull to understand I still have a long way to go, I’m gratefull those cracks of light guide my path and I’m gratefull I don’t walk this journey alone
Happy new year blessings to all
Gratitude on the first day of the year
I’m grateful I had a good night’s sleep. Went to bed at 10 pm and woke up refreshed at 5.30 a.m.
I’m grateful I did my own little silent firework to welcome the new year before sunrise 
I’m grateful for the beautiful dawn today
I’m grateful I threw away the advent wreath and did all pet chores. I’m grateful this all happened before the stomach bug set in! It’s heavily spreading around here, doesn’t last long (1-2 days) and I start the new year purged intestinely 
I’m grateful I’m well stocked on toilet paper. I’m grateful I had no plans for cooking today. I won’t cook at all
I’m grateful for hot water bottles, purring cats who made me fall asleep again by their calming presence, for laughing about the situation because it IS funny and for sharing this fun with friends, they understand the joke and give sarcastic and funny comments about what I will sh… on this year I’m grateful we all have kind of a good black humour.
I’m grateful for a good start into 2023
Awwww, I love your post
It reminds me to take my antidepressants later, when the upset stopped (already doing better).
Wow, what a story. Much love Bill
I’m grateful that my sobriety allows me to look within and take note of the things I still need to work on about myself. It keeps my ego quiet so I can then work on those things
Happy New Year! Once again I did not even try to make it to midnight and in that I was successful. The key to my recent years of health and happiness has been much improved care of myself. A big part of that is excellent sleep. So I was all tucked in and happily snoozing by my normal 9 pm. All snuggled up with my hubby and chihuahua and glad to be home.
We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation in Tybee and brought home some cute Tybee stuff for our beach house porch in Lake Mills. We ate so much seafood that I’m growing gills and we had so much fun walking on the beach that I can still hear the waves in the back of my mind.
We are at the start of the new year today and I’m grateful to be healthy and happy and have a loving and safe home. I’m grateful to have a lot less stress in my life than I did a few years ago and to have work that brings me challenge, a little frustration and a lot of reward. I’m grateful to have a loving mate and some old dogs and a cat to keep me company. One of my favorite parts of traveling at the holidays is to see more of the world and reach the determination that my home is best. And once again I get to start a new year with peace of mind that I am right where I should be. This morning I have a clear mind and a rested body and am ready to start 2023 with a quiet day at home with the pets and the hubby.
In a few weeks I have an important birthday and my personal reflection is that I’ve learned a helluva lot about how to make my own joy. And for that, I am grateful and humbled by all that I have experienced in my life.
I don’t make new year resolutions because I’m pretty occupied with taking care of myself and my people one day at a time. So far so good. I wish you all a peaceful and happy new year finding your way to your joy.
#lucky
