An extra day of holiday before going back to work tomorrow.
A good sober sleep last night and hopefully minimum jet lag after a 9 hour time difference (I slept from 11pm to 7am )
My best friend for letting me stay in his apartment this week before I get home to my dogs on Saturday.
My dogs - canāt wait to see them
My amazing Mother for being there recently and just checking in regularly to let me know sheās thinking about me and praying for me during my travels (she is an angel ).
My job - even though itās hard to go back to work after a holiday, I am very grateful for my job as it allows me to be able to do the things I love and I am very lucky to have the flexibility I get with it.
Morning gratitude. Iām grateful for a long talk with a friend yesterday, it helped me to settle with a decision I made after two weeks of looking at the arguments and opinions of my therapists and my lawyer. I have to communicate it to my lawyer today and Iām a bit tense about it. Iām grateful Iām taking the next step with this, babysteps.
Iām grateful I learned to take it easy on mondays, being stressed about everything awaiting me on monday ruined my sundays for far too long.
Iām grateful that holiday season is over and all people are back to work, including myself. To be honest, I could enjoy my time like the last two weeks for some weeks longer. Iām grateful I feel relaxed.
Iām grateful to be sober 201 days. Iām grateful for the peace in my life, free from all toxic people. Iām grateful for clarity in my mind and getting stronger and more healthy every day. Iām so grateful to be changing my life before it would have been too late. Iām grateful to be alive, really alive with goals and appreciation for even the little things in a day that brings me happiness and peace of mind.

Bit of a slow start this morning, but Iām grateful that even my slowest sober start is a million times better than my best slow start when I was drunk. Despite the rusty gears this morning I knocked out my dog walk, a short online strength class, and even put on make up like a real adult person going to work in an office! I missed my bus, but still made it to work on time and Iām looking on the bright side and using the opportunity to stop and get gas and a couple groceries I forgot this weekend. Iām grateful to be sober and to feel good in body and mind. Yeehaw bring it on Monday!
Iām grateful I got waylaid this morning and my routine is all fucked. But in a really good way.
Iām grateful I feel like doing my gratitude now. And itās way out of my natural order of things.
Iām so fucking grateful for Al-Anon. Especially last night.
Iām grateful to be proud of myself after sharing last night. We share in order around the circle. The guy behind me is living a shit show. Every aspect of his life is unmanageable. The lady after me was broken down in tears and couldnāt stop crying.
Anyway, Iām just very proud of myself and grateful I shared my feelings and my struggle. Itās not a contest. Believe it or not. But in the past. I might not share my simple hurt struggle broken hearted feelings because they donāt seem so bad. But I did it anyway. And Iām so grateful I did.
Iām grateful I donāt know if my story helped anyone.
Iām grateful I know sharing my story last night helped me sooooo much. I Even had 2 aha!! moments during my share.
Iām grateful I had the best moment last night before bed. An apology from my loved one. Now,ā¦.I know to never ever. NEVER!! expect an apology. But I always ALWAYS think it would be nice. And I canāt seem to shake that.
Iām grateful doing nothing about someoneās drinking yesterday paid off. Yes sometimes doing nothing pays off. Iām grateful I did take of of myself yesterday. Just me. Thatās all I can take care of.
Iām grateful for thinking yesterday that āThis too shall pass.ā It did of course.
Iām grateful I slept like a rock last night. More like a boulder. Maybe it was those 3 meditations yesterday. Or my meeting. I donāt know. I woke up at 1 am ready to get up . I couldnāt believe it was only 1am.
Iām grateful I donāt punish myself with booze anymore. Iām grateful Iām still alive. The reality is. We donāt all make it. But together we can.
Love you guys.
Found it. Let go.
How would your life be different if you learned
to let go of things that have already let go of you?
From relationships long gone,
to old grudges, to regrets,
to all the ācouldāveā and 'shouldāve,
to the dead friendships you still hang on to
Free yourself from the burden
of a past you cannot change."
Iām grateful for this community, and all the support I get here.
Iām grateful to have a choice today to not drink or use
Iām grateful that my problems today are being dealt with in positive manner not acting on impulse
Iām grateful that my job has enough faith in me to send me out of town for the week to take care of business and know I will work hard and complete the tasks
Iām grateful for my small family, and small circle of friends
Iām grateful for the 12 steps
Iām grateful for my sponsor
Iām grateful to be alive and actually live today and not just exist only to destroy myself and everything around me
I am grateful for a doctorās appointment which went well and they will take care of a new insulin pump.
My HbA1c is the best I remember, freaking 6.0%.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for a nice chat in my house.
I am grateful I am home on time without stress for my yoga course.
I am grateful I can most probably go in a clinic in the Alps once I have a new pump.
I am grateful I am in contact with a single person of the company for my fridge. I hope sheāll call me tomorrow.
Today Iām grateful for a productive day. Iām grateful everything went well, no problems. Iām grateful I did office work, chores, cooked, went to the post office, was of help for others, napped and will head to bed soon, sober, tired and content. Iām grateful for your post @Dazercat, it makes me happy to read that doing nothing paid off in such a lovely way.
Iām grateful for life and family today! Today is sober day 5 for me. I found out I have COVID most likely thanks to my last bar outing last week, but I count it as a blessing because itās 5 days working from home away from bad influences. Thus, by the time I emerge from this I should be at ten days and on a great stride! For now Iāll relax, fire up the work computer and do what I can. Feeling alright light symptoms like a regular cold.
I am grateful that my couch doesnāt move.
I am grateful for equanimity and how I have been able to practice that during this illness. I am grateful that I have not attached any feelings to the mornings I wake up thinking that I might be over this bug because within a couple hours I am shown that I most certainly am not. I can see why my life was so difficult before, why I was always in emotional turmoil. Emotional turmoil caused by myself. I am grateful for the daily relief of that and the choice I have today if I want to suffer or not. I am grateful that I love myself and that I belive I have put enough time in suffering. I am grateful that I choose not to grip onto anything today.
I am grateful that my higherself took my humaness to the grocery store on the way home and she just led the way. I am grateful that my mind doesnt put up a fight as much anymore. I have been planning a new feeding idea since the new year but havent been well enough to put it into action. I am grateful for meditation and visions.
I went on a book buying bingeā¦I am grateful that I can concentrate on books and absorb what I read. I am grateful for responsible Drās who truly take care of their patients. I am grateful for the people who believe in themselves and follow their dreams, who write books when they are stay at home moms, or doing something else as a job. I am grateful for people who take risks, who have visions and forge forward to reach their goals. They inspire me, I am very grateful.
Grateful for restful sleep and for waking up ready for the new day.
Grateful Iām not filling a mug with the wrong things first thing in the morning. Iām so grateful those days are behind me.
Grateful I can still wake up my boys with hugs and kisses.
Grateful for my hubby, and his quiet support.
Grateful for my fluffly dog - she is the sweetest!

This is my favorite outlook. No matter what happens, I can look at it and think about what lessons I have learned, how grateful I am have for the other things, and know that perhaps I can use the experience to help someone else in the future.
Today I am grateful for being mentioned in the You Are Missed thread. It pulled me back from a pretty icky place.
I am grateful for my early morning TLC meeting. I do have to be mindful of how I react to the milestones of those who started with me and now are still sober.
I am grateful for hard conversations and honesty.
I am grateful for whatever I decide to eat this morning - because I have food and I am hungry!
Iām grateful for the resources here, and the reminders that sometimes there arenāt easy answers and you just have to put in the work. Itās worth doing, so itās worth doing the work. Iām grateful to me for the progress Iāve made building new habits and working towards goals Iāve set this monthāeven though itās still early days. Iām grateful for my home, family, job, friends and overall security. Iām grateful I signed up for that HSA even though my physical health is ok, since I can use it for therapy and knowing that mitigates a bit of the anxiety I get about finding and engaging a therapist. Grateful to me for trying to be better every day.
Iām grateful the headache I woke up with is not a hangover headache.
Iām grateful I slept in though.
Iām grateful the firm dump Benson took in the exercise room was easy to clean up.
I know it was you Burner!
Iām grateful my wife saw it first. Whoever saw it has to clean it. Those are the rules. Iām grateful I picked it up though.
Iām grateful we have a good poop puke honor system on who sees it first cleans it.

Iām grateful to get my gratitude in on a day thatās starting out a little fucked. Iām grateful I know this too shall pass. It always does.
Iām grateful we are all artist
Healing is an art.
It takes time, it takes practice.
It takes love.
