Aw, thank you Soberbilly for your always kind words!
I’m grateful for your honest and insightful post, when I read it this morning. I’m grateful that I after I caught up on this thread, I wandered over to the sober selfies thread and saw your reference to “flying asshole” was it? and I for real laughed out loud!
I’m grateful for the posts of your t-shirts du jour. I binged on radiohead after you reminded me of them. Kid A accompanied me during a hard, weird time in my life. Listening to it on repeat was so good to tap back into me then. And even better without the wine.
I’m grateful for when you and Bootz banter about music. Reminds me of others. Were you guys talking about John Lee Hooker or was that another convo? (I’m starting to forget where I had conversations. Eek. I am not ready to let go of my attachment to my memory!)
I’m grateful for you here, for your presence. For all of the Gratidudes!
I went back to work today after my mini Christmas break. I’m grateful I have a job and coworkers I’m excited to go back to. I’m grateful I love my life right now. Is it always perfect? Nope. Do I get sad and anxious sometimes? Yes. But I’m grateful I’m learning about me, about life. I’m grateful the lows aren’t as scary as I once felt like they were. A family friends mom died the day after Christmas. Her cancer had spread to her brain. I’m grateful I could sit with my friend and give her hugs. I’m grateful I didn’t try to make her pain or hurt go away. I’m grateful I could be there for her during it. That it didn’t scare me or make me uncomfortable.
I’m grateful that I see how spectacular life is. Even when it isn’t perfect. It’s mine. I’m grateful I’m letting it slip through my fingers less these days. I’m grateful I’m creating it. I’m grateful I’m not numbing it. I’m grateful I am here to love and live it.
I’m grateful I’m starting to understand secure attachment. I’m grateful trauma, our childhood, our mistakes don’t have to drive our life forever. I’m grateful I’m pulling back the weeds so new life can bloom. I’m grateful for the act of letting go and trusting. I’m grateful for the signs I’ve been seeing lately. I’m grateful that the yearning in my life, the void I use to feel weighing me down with emptiness with not enough with I’m not good enough everyday- has started to lift.
I’m grateful I’m laying in my cozy bed, grateful for all the blessings in my life, while I write this list.
Grateful for sobriety
Grateful for healthy kids
Grateful for yummy hotpot
Grateful for possible opportunity
Grateful for technology that makes life convenient
Grateful for warmer weather
Not super grateful for the attempted relapse dream I had last night, but I AM grateful that even in my dream I was able to pause, realize I was hearing alcohol brain rationalizations and lies, remember the community here, and remember that drinking is bound to end in heartbreak. It was unpleasant to feel my thoughts and grip on sobriety slipping, but my dismay was enough to shake me out of it so that’s good, right? I was certainly grateful to wake up sober, grateful I haven’t felt a hangover in months, grateful I haven’t let anyone down–including myself. Grateful to wake up feeling a bit better than yesterday and that my dog has been less anxious on walks, although that could just be because the past couple days we’ve had the world to ourselves at six a.m. I’m grateful for my winter bus commute, even though I miss biking, since it gives me time to reflect and start my day out grateful.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful I don’t feel to tired after waking up at 2 am.
I’m grateful it a dark, rainy morning- it feels more cozy. I’m grateful that I have a job that pays our bills. I’m grateful for all the freezer meals I got made yesterday, they make my life so much easier. I’m grateful for TS and you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful day
I thought of hopping on this thread this morning for a little gratitude. So this morning at 730am i am grateful:
That i am clean and that i dont ever want to go back to my old lifestyle
That healthcare is free for us here in Canada. With everything my son has been thru in 4 years we would surely be bankrupt or he may not be here today if we had to pay for care
That my sons health is improving each day. Hopefully a going-home date is in the future
That I have good people in my corner, like everyone here on TS, family, my husband
That my relationship with my husband has improved sooo much since we got clean. Its been wonderful having him here to visit us and having that time to connect
I am so full of gratitude for the book Untamed by Glennon Doyle. I’m grateful that someone with so much courage, wisdom, and insight to the human soul shared with the rest of the world, and specially, with me. I’m grateful that I can feel it changing my brain as I read. Grateful for this mega game changer.
My sobriety
My husbands sobriety
Boscoe and his cuteness
An inheritance from my grandparents that allowed me to purchase our home
Survived my first christmas

Modern conveniences
Inner growth
Baby steps
Everyone here in this amazing community
Today I’m grateful I’m still lazy as fuck. It feels so good to enjoy the glimmering and sparkling in the living room. I’m grateful I did not leave the house for the 3rd day in a row. I’m grateful for relaxing like decades ago. Lazing around, eating delicious food, snuggling pets, bingeing books and series, sleeping, talking with friends. I’m grateful for loving memories. About my parents and grandparents, family, pets, my ex-husband, late and living friends, places I loved and still love. I’m grateful that bad memories fade within time. I’m grateful for love in my life. I’m grateful I am so relaxed I forgot a therapy appointment yesterday I’m grateful I do a little bit every day. Just babysteps to keep up with the to do list.
I’m super gratefull that I got through the worst cravings since becoming sober and I know I can do it even when I think I can’t.
I’m super gratefull for all the support I received, it helped more than you all know… or maybe you do because you do all understand and have been or going through it yourself.
I’m gratefull for the roof over my head, the little things I used to not notice that now i see are little luxuries I just used to dismiss.
Im greatful for the 40degree heat wave today
The walk Boscoe and I took
The ionized foot soak experience with my mom
Im not as heavy as i once was
Excited to take action on my health
A nap today
Sober sisters
when I finally got to the kitchen after letting the dogs out. 
I’m grateful I do a little bit every day. Just babysteps to keep up with the to do list.
