Lunchtime check-in. Today Iām grateful I already ticked off two things from the to do list, one for good . Iām grateful for leftovers. Iām grateful Schimanski did nor get an electric shock yesterday when he thought he is Tarzan and the lamp over the table is a liana Him and the lamp had a nice takeoff!
Iām grateful I can fix it on my own, but not today.
Iām deeply grateful that sometimes problems find their own solutions, without stressing me or doing a lot. I only have to wait and be patient.
Iām grateful for weird dreams. Last night very weird. Woke up completely confused, could not tell if some of it really happened. Still thinking about some parts of it.
Iām grateful for rest before the next appointment. Practice the pause. ODAAT
Itās good to see you here, Shaunda!
Get well soon @Its_me_Stella

Today Iām grateful for the holiday time with my extended family. I needed it so much. I donāt think I realized how much I needed it.
Iām grateful for my parents, my siblings and their families. Iām gratefu I met and spent time with my baby nephew . Iām grateful for the time to connect over coffee, walking on the beach, prepping food, playing with the kidsā¦heart full of love, but a bit heavy and sad that we leave today.
Grateful that I take the saying āthis too, shall passā to heart nowadays. Good moments pass too. I do my best to treasure and be present for them
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
Grateful they decided to close the office and have everyone work remotely today, even though I prefer going in and seeing peopleās faces and chirping greetings and encouragement as people grumble in. Iām grateful that people at my job not only give me space to be myself but they actually seem to like it. Iām grateful fitness classes have started up again at the gym, and grateful that Iāve worked hard enough to be ridiculously sore today. Iām grateful that over the years Iāve overcome some gym-shyness and am confident enough to participate in group fitness classes, even with a new instructor, and even when Iām the only one in class and they donāt have anything else to do but watch and judge me.
Iām grateful Iām a good person.
Iām grateful I didnāt stress too much about going to a meeting last night because of weather.
Iām grateful I just kind of ended up there.
Iām grateful for the morning darkness.
Iām grateful to look up and see day break without sun. Just green trees and white snow on them. No real light. Just a gray.
Iām grateful my wife cooked dinner for us last night. WHILE I WAS AT A MEETING!!
Iām grateful to put things in perspective. 7 months ago she was like. Iām not cooking if youāre going to a meeting!! So I go to my meetings and I come home and I have to take us out to dinner. In the scheme of life I know itās not so bad. But in the winter darkness, with ice and snow covered roads, itās kind of a hassle. Itās a tasty little victory.
Iām grateful I hear Alice screaming in our bedroom for my wife to get up
Iām grateful my Keen Clogs fit.
Iām grateful I kept my new Keen boots.
Iām grateful they give me happy feet.
Iām grateful for my life and wife and children and their spouses. My blessings. And this app. Oh a grandchildren
Never let a day pass without looking for the good, feeling the good within you, praising, appreciating, blessing and BEING GRATEFUL.

Todayā¦my parents. (Actually always, but just got off the phonecwith mom)
I am grateful to have risen from the dead once again. Damn that was roughā¦ when I slowly woke this morning and my head wasnt pounding i thought. āThank you God.ā And I meant it, Im grateful.
I am grateful for the hunger cues I had while I was sleeping and that they woke me up. I am grateful that after years of mistreating my body she still works hard at staying alive. I am grateful for my body and her tenacity.
Although I really want a coffee I am grateful I listened to my wiser self and opted for tea. I am grateful that although I only had decaf earl grey I think its the best option for a first try with something in my tummy. Oh dont worry, I will drink a pot of coffee if this stays down. Lol
I am grateful to be up early enough and feel well enough to head out to the sunrise soon. My weather app says its overcast but sometimes that makes for the prettiest one.
I am grateful to have found a book study group for the book. āWomen who run with the Wolvesā. I am reading it for the second time and thought it would be fun to join a study group. Looking forward to it.
I am grateful for all of the courses I am doing on insight timer. I have always, always, always LOVED learning. Reading, studying, researchingā¦ they are my things. It just goes to show how detrimental unmedicated ADHD can be to a child and their schoolingā¦ I couldnt concentrate, I was overwhelmed so I stopped going.
I am grateful that I went back and graduated my first year clean, it would have been weird homeschooling my child in grades 11 and 12 and not having graduated myself.
I am grateful for humility.

Congratulations on 9 months @desert_rose and @Dazercat Congratulations on 3 years!!
This is so phenomenal. This kind of recovery is really inspiring.
I am checking into some gratitude at work today because im refusing to give in to a bad mood and a bad day. Iām grateful to be earning money, and grateful to be earning the good feeling at the end of a hard day. Im grateful its been slow at work and great days are definitely harder to earn. Iām grateful Iām not giving in and going home. Im grateful ill be grateful when I get that paycheck. Thatās for sure. Iām grateful for the latest challenge thatās presented in my home. A girl from work moved into my clean and sober house, but was definitely not honest with me about the circumstances regarding the reasons she had to leave her last house. Its become painfully obvious that sheās not in recovery, and itās been a very good lesson for me in boundaries. Itās not my problem, and Iām actually pretty upset that he was dishonest and brought a bunch of drama my way. BUT Iām grateful that Iām getting enough health that I can obviously pull away from her and be true to myself and my recovery. Iāve been such a people pleaser this is new wiring for my brain and I can recognize that this can all be a strengthener for me. I initially just wanted it and her to go away, and while I still do, Iām grateful I can see a way to use this to strengthen my recovery instead of threatening it.
Iām grateful for the perspective this always gives me when I write out my gratitude. I very often think if I write this out in gratitude Iāll bet I get a clearer picture of how to proceed. And, gratefully, I have.
Happy birthday to yāall.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I stepped back today and rested as my body required.
I am grateful my boss didnāt object to home office tomorrow.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful I know myself better. Writing about it is helping me tremendously. Although I chew it up over and over again. Slowly integrating it. Slooooowly.
I am grateful I have only known peace.
I am grateful drinking is not an option.
I am grateful for some relaxing time today at work. I am getting better along with my colleague now that she has moved into another office. A healthy distance.
Withdraw sux. Headache from hell and crying on and off all day. Iām grateful I have a job that allows for me to stay home and rest, Iām grateful to feel my feelings no matter how difficult and I refuse to numb them. I am greatful that I found this group. I am grateful to be sober. Much love and hugs for all.
Iām glad your here.
This is a great thread.
Those first 10 days really suck.
Iām grateful I did a lot of crying, angry power walks, and a couple of long hot scaling crying showers daily to get me through it. And this app.
Hang in there Jenny.
We got your back. Let it out here whenever you feel like it.
Iām grateful for not drinking today or wanting to.
Iām grateful Iām sober, Iām grateful I like being sober, I love being sober.
