Thank you. It took me way too long to realize that a little better is all I am capable of and, major learning point for me for me, all I should ever expect from others.

I am grateful to be watching tv in bed with my kiddo on her ipad beside me. Last nights meeting was great, like all meetings but it was a powerful reminder of all I have to be grateful for. I am grateful that my child is not in active addiction, that she is not on the streets, hasnt gone missing and isnt selling her body for dope. I recieved some shitty news last night, we lost another young member, 21 years old, she was a real gem. Its so hard to lose all these kids, and they are dropping like fucking flies. I am grateful that the young girl (19) that I took with me to the meeting last night survived last nights relapse… she just couldnt make it through the night. I am grateful I made it through mine.
@ELY83 congrats on your baby boy, I am grateful he is gaining weight.

Grateful for the warmth of the coffee cup in my hands. Grateful yesterday is past and today is a new chance to get things right. Grateful to be watching the 3 squirrrel youngsters chasing each other around the tree in front of my house. Grateful for music and the way it moves through my body. Grateful to read all your gratitudes.

Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful for hot coffee to start my day. Particularly since I’m not sleeping well.
I’m grateful I see my doctor first thing this morning. These headaches are awful and I’m not coping well. I’m worried that if I don’t get relief soon it could threaten my sobriety. But for now I’m committed to not drinking today and tomorrow. ODAAFT.
I’m grateful Beans’ trip to the vet yesterday went well. It was just for a rabies shot and check up. She recently turned 10, and is doing really well. It’s Tessie’s turn for a checkup next week.

Good morning darlings! Grateful to feel that I slept well last night, and grateful to wake with the doggies tucked up next to me instead of squirreling around and chasing each other from the bed to the living room, it was a much gentler morning. Grateful I had time to do a bit of tidying this morning so it’s not on my mind during date night tonight and is still done before our friends come to stay this weekend. It is a very cloudy day today, but the gloom makes it a little harder to get worked up over nothing so I am grateful for that too lol. Grateful for another day at a job I look forward to going to with people I like to smile at.

I’m grateful Mavy is on my lap purring and bashing into me and making it difficult for me to write. I’m grateful the Ol Burner is on the ottoman between my feet and under my blanket.
I’m grateful I might be sad again today.
I’m grateful to know my happiness doesn’t depend on whether on not the alcoholic in my life is drinking or not. FUCKING BULLSHIT! This is hard. I’m grateful I have such a great fun time a day or maybe 2 in a row when the alcoholic in my life doesn’t pass out early evening. Then BAM Passed out early evening again. I’m grateful I work so fucking hard on myself about this. But it’s just so fucking hard! I’m grateful I know I might never stop going to Al-Anon. Unless somehow some day I can be cured. I’m grateful when my wife talked about going back to Flagstaff sooner than we planned, my first thought was of missing my 4 meetings here. 
Oh, and Fuck Abraham Lincoln!! I’m grateful we read the Just For Today book mark in Al-Anon. The second one is a quote from Abraham Lincoln that says we are as happy as we make up our minds to be. Well fuck him! Was he married to an alcoholic? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
I’m grateful that rant is over.
I’m grateful for cool spring desert mornings.
I’m grateful the a/c guys are coming this morning for a maintenance check.
I’m grateful I started my day with Om Mani Padme Hum 
(guess you wouldn’t know it huh?)
I’m grateful I ended my night early with a new bedtime meditation with a body scan, some other shit and a mantra. And I went out like a light.
I’m grateful I’m getting plenty of sleep and meditations these days.
I’m grateful the vascular guy couldn’t find any problems. Blood flow is good.
I’m grateful for my chiropractor.
I’m grateful the Reuben for lunch and the Chinese food for dinner, most of it was fried. Left me feeling like shit. Physically. I’m grateful I might find it nicer to just continue to eat healthier as I hardly ever feel gross after eating healthier. Go figure.
Sorry. I’m gratefully in a pissy mood this morning.
I’m grateful I get to let it out here and ya, Abe, I’m feeling a bit happier.
Just for today I will be happy. This is true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

Thank you for ranting Eric ( @Dazercat ) I really appreciate your acknowledgement that we can be BOTH in a space of frustration and gratitude simultaneously. It feels to me like you are doing a REALLY good job honoring your FULL human experience without turning away from any of it
Today I am grateful that I am on day two of my gratitude posting streak.
I am grateful that my son gained weight again, and that his lab values are starting to come into more normal ranges.
I am grateful for our skin to skin time.
I am grateful to my friends for getting him NICU approved onesies to wear.
I am grateful for my restorative yoga training. I have not done any “poses” per se…BUT…during the day I am able to remember more often, to check in with where my patterns of habitual tension are and to try to release them.
I am grateful that, maybe for the first time, I am making the connection between my anxiety and my need to be on time. (I still think honoring your commitments and showing up is vitally important), but, I don’t seem to be able to turn the “hurry up and get there” button OFF. Even when there’s no time crunch. Remembering that I can take a moment to gather my stuff and myself is REALLY helpful right now.
I am grateful for my husband, and the amazing partner and father he is showing himself to be.
I am grateful for this time to regroup.
I am grateful to have this thread to keep me grounded right now.
And I am grateful to be sober here with you today❤️

Good morning beautiful souls.
Wow, super grateful for the reminder my body has been giving me of the constant state of muscle spasm I used to be in for years. Since my last bout with Norovirus I havent been able to tame the back spasms, I am grateful this isnt my “normal” anymore. I am grateful that my Dr got me in for some prolo injections yesterday and although they sent my back into an absolute frenzy last night I am hopeful for some relief today. 
I am grateful that yoga helps my body and its the first thing that comes to mind when my body gives me the old 
. I am grateful that I have been able to find a balance with exercise that is not sending my fibro into flareup, just for today. I am pretty aware that my yoga will have to decrease it I want to paddle board this summer, but I will deal with that when I get there. Grateful I live in the present moment today.
I am grateful for the beautiful memory @ELY83 triggered for me of NICU with my baby. I dont remember much, I was just newly clean from meth; and although I cant remember looking down at her on my chest, touching my skin, I can remember how it felt. Thank you.
I am grateful that I can cry, that I am not frozen in an emotionless state anymore. I am grateful that crying doesnt always mean sobbing or screaming or raging anymore. Sometimes crying is just a couple silent tears and that is beautiful. I am grateful for them.

Eric, I am grateful for your rant too, as it made me consider how my husband felt when I was drinking. We don’t discuss it, though I know he appreciates my abstinence. Too early in this-time-around journey for me to get deeper with him. Time will tell.
Grateful for coffee, and that it tastes just fine even though the new bottled water (SoCal water from the tap is putrid!) I opened last night tasted weird. Since the spigot broke and I began flooding the kitchen, no FOMO with that partial jug lost!
Grateful my back is feeling a little better as I have golf today. I usually walk but I think I’ll be kind to myself and take a cart.
Grateful for a sunny day and sunscreen.
Take care all!

I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today while following his will and abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I am still here using the forum and practicing principles before personalities, even online, and in all my affairs, as challenging as it is. I’m grateful that Eric @Dazercat has Al-anon, it’s better than it was before that group, right my friend. Sending hugs. I’m grateful for my sponsor, grandspsonsor, great grandspsonsor and all my sponsees the newset one who asked me last night, the ones who have disappeared, the one who moved away and calls weekly to check in that’s killing it, he recently informed me he has finished treatment, moved into a sober home, got a job and accepted into culiary school this fall, another gentleman asked today if when he is ready if I’ll sponsor him, very motivating to keep moving forward myself. God is great. I’m grateful there is an AA speaker meeting in an hour.
I’m grateful and sad that the dating I have been doing is not working out and I have to take a break from dating before I get more hurt or someone else does, sadly I don’t know how to not get distracted and become too, codependent I guess, at least not yet.
May our higher powers help us find self-acceptance.
p.s. You’re a star, shine bright. Ya you!!
