Iā€™m grateful to God please help guide me through today while following your will and abstaining from my addictions. Iā€™m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iā€™m grateful to be at my best friends place for his sonā€™s eighth birthday party.

Iā€™m grateful for music and creativity. Iā€™m grateful for pets and kids that I can entertain and vice versa then go home to my quiet safe clean space. Iā€™m grateful for the twelve steps. Iā€™m grateful my womanfriend is intelligent and creative to the max. She has published works and been in Macleanā€™s magazine, graduated from a prestigious post secondary school and challenges me to be my best. Iā€™m grateful to be capable of keeping up and then some, in certain areas, we all have our stregths. :muscle: Im grateful for humor and laughter and trampolines.

May our higher powers grant us strength.

p.s. If youā€™re not working on your recovery youā€™re working on a relapse. You can do this. Ya you!!

Edit to add ā€¦ Grateful to start a fresh thread and for longtimers on here like Eric @Dazercat @Lisa07 @RosaCanDo @Its_me_Stella @Peace and more who showed me around in the early days of my forray into the world of onoline support rather than well you know, chaos, rabbit holes and so on. Grateful for newcomers who became gratifriends and may be unaware of their impact on my recovery like @Sunflower1 @Cjp @erntedank @M-be-free49 @Soberbilly and so many more its almost overwhelming, thanks for being here.

P.p.s. Youā€™re a star shine bright!!! Ya you!!

I am grateful for the family time I had last night. Teaching my 9 year old son the board game LIFE.

I am grateful for the beatiful day today. Watched my son play soccer and make a game saving stop as goalie.

Today Iā€™m grateful for rest after the intense day yesterday. Iā€™m grateful I watched the coronation on my comfy couch with my snuggling cats, lots of sandwiches and delicious apple juice. I even dozed off, changed to the bed and took another nap. Iā€™m grateful for naps.
Iā€™m grateful I did some garden work in the morning, maybe it will rain at night.
Iā€™m grateful for going early to bed now and hoping for another night with nice dreams :pray:

I am grateful I have all I need right now here.

Iā€™m feeling over the moon grateful today.

I joined the gratitude thread last year as I saw that by coincidence it had the first post on my birthdayā€¦lo and behold, one trip around the sun and this new chapter of the best thread ever starts again on my birthday!!!

My second birthday alcohol free. A run early in the morning. breakfast with the family. Supporting my sonā€™t swimming competition (he did amazing!). Taking a nap. Having dinner together, at a no-fuss restaurant nearby. Surprise cake at home.

Perfect, lovely day. :heart:

So happy, so grateful.

Much love to you all!

Edit: AND 400 days today! So happy!

Today was a bit of a day and I hid in some shopping mall toilets to cry. But walking through town after, in the rain, seeing people begging and also getting approached by a couple of people asking for money, it was pretty easy to find some gratitude. For the roof over my head and the knowledge that my wet feet would dry out soon enough. For my combination of circumstances that make homelessness unlikely. For sobriety, even though life on lifeā€™s terms is hard sometimes.

:upside_down_face::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::grinning: thatā€™s so cool. Thank you so much Eric. Itā€™s not electric so I think it would be better to send it to Germany. I wouldnā€™t get anywhere here :see_no_evil:

I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful that often I am in discovery mode. I am in this mode when I am okay or bored.
I think I was lucky because today and tomorrow there will be t-storms so Iā€™ll walk a bit.
I am grateful I have all I need at the moment.
I am grateful that I found a way through every situation so far. Not alone. I get onto many nerves and I am grateful I know people here who are patient with me.
I am grateful my relationship to my mother is better.
I am grateful there will be rain.
I am grateful I have enough.
