I’m gratefull that my insomnia tonight with no sleep at 4am* is not from staying awake misusing anything and although il feel anxious and sleepy all day I will still be able to push through and manage.
I’m gratefull at 4am and no sleep only one of the cats thinks it’s time to get up for breakfast 
and the other two are purring away sleepy.
I’m gratefull i am not drunk and used substances and I can reflect to this time of night that’s what usually was happening at this time and id usually be anxiety ridden and feeling Shame and dreading the day ahead of me - I am so gratefull it’s just insomnia (it’s own battle) something I’m not doing too myself.
I’m gratefull at ,4am I am able to come here and share this with you all as always I’m gratefull for all of you 
I’m gratefull I’m not feeling Shame or dread and can still look forward to the day ahead.
I’m gratefull tonight after the day ahead I will be cosy and ready for an early night 
I am gratefull I can see all the things that are going right and take the good from what doesn’t.
Good morning all 
I was thinking this morning about how hard we are on ourselves and then I started to think how sad that is…We are here giving it our best shot, wherever we are on the journey, in a relapse, back from a relapse, living clean, it does not matter we are here TRYING to make changes and i thought that is something that should be celebrated , we can easily get caught up in the negative side of life - so today i wanted to say thank you for being here 
I wanted to spread a little love and light so thought wouldnt it be nice if i could hear your gratitude, has I am aware that when you vibrate higher so do I, now I know we are grateful for sobriety, our families, our warm homes etc etc but no I want to go a little deeper than that, what are you grateful for about YOU -
So 3 things that you are grateful for about YOU -
Heres mine -
-
I am grateful for my kindness, my heart is good and I am grateful that I am no able to share this with others.
-
I am grateful for my resilience, god knows I’ve been knocked down, dragged through life like at whirlwind ant times, but still I stand, steady myself and walk on.
-
I am grateful for my new found sense of humour, it turns out I love to laugh and I am partial to a bit of quick wit
which is wonderful given that laughter is the best medicine.
Look forward to reading about you and getting to know YOU a little deeper.
Have the best day,
I’m really struggling with my mental health this morning so forcing myself to find things to be grateful for.
My cat sitting in my lap
Decent “half-caf” coffee
Apple Music
Money in savings I can use for an IOP
Flexible work hours
Appt with my psychiatrist next Monday
The daily crossword puzzle
Distractions helping erase the memory of the nightmare
Fuzzy slippers
Working from home
Knowing I’m not alone in this
Seeing others with months and years of sobriety
-
I am grateful that the ongoing situation that has allot of sadness related to it, hasn’t turnt me bitter, or left me hating the world, it hasn’t hardened my heart.
I guess I’m trying to say I’m gratefull my heart is big and I can try to spread love and healing in to others lives as it’s in my nature. Here and in face to face life. (That was hard to say something nice about myself) -
I am gratefull I am learning from my mistakes no matter how long it took. Too not break myself further when things go wrong and to try to solve the problems clearly.
-
I’m gratefull that although I am anxiety ridden and been through allot of domestic abuse that I am now able to learn who I am and what I like, instead of what I had to do, say or think to diffuse situations.
That I like who I am and I feel safe to be able to express myself and that I am actually a kind and thoughtful and I’m not everything bad i was made to believe during those abusive times. -
I’m gratefull I feel deep in my heart that I am present as a mum, that I can forgive myself for the times I was not.
This is hard, I’m going to think more deeper and this evening hopefully I can have more to say about myself.
I really liked this idea, it’s thought provoking and positively Impacting and yes I will dig deeper this is of the top of my head or maybe I need to be kinder to myself.
So much to be grateful for when we just sit and take aminute to think about it 
So nice to hear this and to see it wasnt just myself that was like ermm 3 things about myself 
it does get us thinking though and helps us to see who we were and who we are today…
Ive made terrible mistakes and made insane descisions but how blessed thatbwe have a place to share that whilst healing ourselves which inevitably will help us do our bit in healing the world.
Thanks for sharing, i enjoyed reading this
I enjoyed reading yours too, and I think it’s a great way to be gratefull as we can over see passed ourselves when we should be proud of our good qualities and notice them in ourselves.
Reading your post switched something on inside of me like a warm fuzzy feeling hard to explain.
I will be thinking deeply through the day and will post again.
I’m gratefull for your post today, I’m gratefull you were able to hit that part of my heart that makes me warm and fuzzy and also helping me be kind to myself.
Today I’m grateful to read all the posts here on this thread. There is so much that echoes deeply in me.
Congratulation on 3 years @Dazercat 
I’m so grateful you are here friend 
I’m grateful yesterday was a good day and I started slowly into work routines again. I’m grateful for the last week and the recreation I found. It filled my cup of energy a bit. I’m grateful I handle it with care. I’m grateful I’m resting today, accompanied by the cats.
I’m grateful to know that moods don’t last. I feel sad today, had nightmares, missed my ex last night and today. It is still hard to get accustomed to beloved routines like watching darts WM without him. It reminds me of our good times.
I missed my mum yesterday a lot. I’m grateful she is only on the other side of the rainbow and I can reach her through my memories and love.
I’m grateful I have a lot to do the next days. I’m looking forward to completing some tasks, I’m grateful I will tick them off the to do list for good
I’m grateful I had good calls with friends and colleagues yesterday, it helped me to arrive in 2023. One day at a time 
Grateful for sobriety
Grateful to find the document of all my stepwork
Grateful for getting a new sponsor and course of action
Grateful for husband suggesting an outing
Grateful to find a lovely park
Grateful to tidy some things
Grateful for leftovers
Grateful for warm sun
Grateful for my third day of mindful eating
I wish the day is kind to you and here a hug 
This is such a lovely idea. I want to join
- I’m grateful for my loving and caring heart. I have so much love to give. I have to learn to give it to myself too.
- I’m grateful for being a correct person. I don’t ly, I am reliable, I don’t betray, I take good care of people & business in my life. I like to be such a person.
- I’m grateful I can be a full blown asshole if necessary. I’m grateful I let go most of it thanks to therapy and altered circumstances (ageing has a lot of good sides). This part of me never was charming but it helped me dozens of times when Miss Nice was the one to get fucked.
Thank you! I needed a hug
Good morning sober fam,

Waking and reading others gratitude…setting the mood of gratitude
My sobriety, 247 days free from weed and alcohol
My husband and his sobriety
While cooking last night hubby ran to the store for a missing ingredient— that would have NEVER happened in the before days

All of you in this wonderful sober community
Love and light to you on your journey
Good morning all,
I’m grateful to be back to work and routine today. I’m grateful I have a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful I enjoy my coworkers, and the actual works, just not the politics that are involved in corporate dentistry. I’m grateful it is slightly rainy and feels cozy, not pouring and dangerous to drive in. I’m grateful for podcasts and exercise. I’m grateful for my family.
Everyone have a wonderful day❤️
So grateful to have celebrated the holidays sober and happy! Grateful to get back to my regularly scheduled programming. 
Not super grateful that my dog sneezes in my face when it’s time to get up, but I am super grateful that he’s learning how the snooze button works. Hope y’all have a wonderful morning!
Welcome @Hazel22
I’m grateful I’m kind and caring.
I’m grateful I’m generous.
I’m grateful I’m thoughtful.
I’m grateful to have the courage to get up every day and be grateful for my wife before the wine kicks in.
I’m grateful I try to wake her up off the couch at night now. Instead of always just leaving her there. Sometimes she comes to bed sometimes she doesn’t. I’m grateful I don’t take it personal anymore.
I’m grateful I go to Al-Anon meetings and I don’t care what she thinks about that. I mean that in a nice way. I’m grateful I don’t worry anymore about what she’s thinking about me going to my meetings.
I’m grateful when she reminds me I have a meeting tonight.
I’m grateful things are good. Today. So far.
I’m grateful I’m good. Today. So far. Except for this headache. I’m grateful it’s not from drinking.
I’m grateful for all the mentions, accolades, and affirmations from so many people here yesterday on my 3 year birthday. And the hits are still coming. It means a lot. Other than my wife and son and a few people on Twitter I only celebrate here with you all, my family. Otherwise I celebrate in silence. And that’s just one reason I like to celebrate milestones so much on here. It means a lot.
Thank you so much.
Oh and Julie, she would celebrate my 3 years with me. I forgot to tell her. She’ll be so happy for me.
When we recover loudly, we keep others from dying quietly.
I’m grateful I’m sober today because I’ve been relied on by my daughter. She needed me, I was there without hesitation, willingly and happily helping her out
Cannot keep up here. Struggling with my concentration atm.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I could have my hot chocolate on the balcony. It’s way too warm and it’s awful that I already switched to spring mode knowing that winter will hit probably eventually.
Grateful for a nice chat with my friend who wants to set up a date for me with someone. I feel how I don’t like it but I am grateful that we can make fun of it.
I am grateful for a short working week and the next one as well.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful that the question of having a drink is out of the equation. It’s good that o many people will start this journey, some will stay, many won’t. I hope they won’t quit or leave being hurt. I was thinking this morning that especially here on sober social media with different cultural backgrounds it’s so easy to overstep a boundary, make a joke the other person takes badly, hurt someone unintentionally, being hurt because of having it interpreted wrong or leaving it as a shitty answer when there is maybe more to it when we are honest to ourselves.
I am grateful that I have found this place. I was sober for some time and reading around I have so much respect for people becoming sober here due to the reasons written above. I was so vulnerable and sometimes still am.
I am grateful I won’t drink today.
Today I’m grateful for my family. My partner made my evening meal ready for when I got home from work. My daughter went shopping. My son brought the bins back and made a meal too. My other daughter, she caught up on her much needed sleep!! I’m grateful for them, for us as a little family, we’re good together.
I’m grateful to think about ‘me’, thanks @Hazel22
I’m grateful for being helpful, I like to help friends, those with children struggling with childcare, i will rearrange my day or week to make sure I’m free to help out.
I’m grateful to be empathetic, I didn’t use to be, its developed over time.
I’m grateful to be hard working. It teaches my kids to have a strong work ethic and means I can enjoy holidays and travelling without worrying about money.
I am greatful for this thread. I dont underatand why It took me so long to get involved…but i am greatful for it
I am greatful for all the new people that have found their way here.
