Grateful to get home after a busy busy day to a lovely meal, made by my partner, warming in the oven.
Grateful to eat and slide into bed, I’ve nothing pressing to stay up for.
I’m grateful to have just chosen a gratitude meditation, I’ve got out of the habit I don’t know why, because I love it.
Grateful to help a friend who slipped and broke her wrist - ouch!

I’m grateful to see you, ya you!
I’m grateful it’s 9pm and I feel asleep since 5:30pm dreams were weird but grateful they were cool at the same time.
Grateful I still have dinner to eat as I slept through usual meal time.
Grateful with each day I am feeling back to myself, not quite there but going back to basics and keeping it simple is doing the trick.
Grateful for my eye mask headphones which make the meditation having a bigger impact on me.
I’m grateful for the chip shop where I’ll walk soon to get some dinner … why mess up the kitchen tonight when it’s ready for tomorrow… keeping it simple.

Grateful for this space to vent as well as get inspired by others. Grateful for everyone here. Grateful for my family. Grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful that I noticed I was starting to feel sick today. I’m grateful I had a healthy dinner with tons of fresh garlic and tea. I’m grateful it’s 7.46 and I’m already snuggled in bed.
I’m grateful I have an immunity meditation and my weekly meditation to do tonight.
I’m grateful I get excited about meditation at night.
I’m grateful that my breakup has not been as painful as it was before. I’m grateful I can accept that there is something bigger falling into place.
I’m grateful I can always choose joy and choose to let go of control and surrender.
I’m grateful for love and trust.
I’m grateful that when my head starts to race and I get panicky- I take a deep breath and know that I can trust the process with an open heart.
I’m grateful I’m not obsessing
I’m grateful that when I allow myself kindness and understanding, things become less tangled and scary.
I’m grateful for puppies
I’m grateful for all the paths that led me to who I am today. Even the difficult ones.
I’m grateful I’m learning what it means to make myself feel truly supported.
Ian was the first person who ever made me feel safe, ever. He was my safety net, my protector.
I’m grateful sobriety has led me down a path where I can be my own protector. I’m proud of all the work I’ve done to learn just how strong, loving, and capable I am.
I’m grateful for the people here who have helped show me that.
I’m grateful that I know that whatever turns life takes I will always have me and that makes me feel extremely safe ![]()
I am grateful I still feel profoundly relaxed, although being back to work immediately proved the be the circus it has always been. I am grateful I realize that this is also part of what makes this job appealing to me. I uploaded some travel impressions on the nature thread @eph-M-eral @Soberbilly. Selecting, which pictures to upload was harder than I thought, but I am grateful it gave me the opportunity to indulge in warm memories a while longer
.
I am grateful you checked in Brian. Your words have always made my heart lighter and my days brighter. Grateful you were here, when I decided to let go of alcohol for good. Would be happy to see you around more often again.
I am grateful for strong morning coffee, longer days and shorter nights. The first birds have started singing their tunes. Spring is on its way ![]()
Beautifully written ![]()

I’m grateful for my little family, for my extended family, for my chosen family, for my work family, and for all of you. I’m grateful for things to look forward to: spin class with ladies from work over lunch, a girls weekend with family, a puppy that will soon be housetrained lol, getting to spend each day with a man I love, watching my friends and family grow and learn and knowing that even though we all have different paths they always remain connected.
It’s late afternoon here and I’m already tired. I’m grateful I’m tired from doing a lot of office work today and minor chores. It went well and I was efficient, not sidetracked, no overthinking, no inconveniences, a dozen odds and ends completed. I am grateful for this day and all that’s off my desk now ![]()
I’m grateful for coffee and a nice talk at my elderly neighbour’s house. A relaxing lunch break. I’m grateful he mentioned delivery service and how often he uses it because it’s comfortable. I just ordered my dinner, that’s my treat for accomplishing so much paperwork today. The kitchen stays cold and clean ![]()
I’m grateful the cats snuggle up on and beside me on the couch. I’m grateful I brought home fresh cat gras yesterday, they were exited.
I’m grateful I handled emotional moments well today. Some of the paperwork concerned my late mum. It made me sad, I missed her. I cried. I took breaks. Did breath meditation. Walked around the block. I’m grateful that helped me to stay on track. I’m at peace with the things that have to be done. One step after another.
I’m grateful I allow myself to wait for the delivery on the couch with the cats. My nervous brain wants to continue working because it thinks it’s in the flow. I know I need a pause and dinner, otherwise I will be too exhausted tomorrow. I’m grateful I slowly learn to stop myself before I overdo it. This would never have happened if I was still with my ex. I’m grateful for this insight ![]()
Today I am grateful for
- a day off
- compliments
- very respectful and goal oriented conversation with a dentist regarding a little surgery
- that I was able to use the single day off,
as a real holiday - a 3000 Meter swim that burned
over 1100 cal - a long warm shower at the pool
- a delicious homemade vegan chicken burger with spelt bun
- the new dryer
- mum
- my niece
- having work
- having opportunities
- freedom
- autonomy
- glowing skin
- a nap, now
- to be able to feel love

I’m grateful for
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
– Gilbert C. Chesterton
Today I’m grateful I met someone new and she brought the best out of me. She is a massagist, and I’m really in pain due to a running injury. After the massage (and the talk) my body felt better and my soul felt comforted, reassured.
Today I’m grateful that the feeling was so good, that I gave something I had bought as a special treat to myself to a friend, to whom I’m grateful, as she introduced me to this massagist. I hope she likes it.
I’m grateful for connections to beautiful souls in this world…the ones I know, the ones near, the ones far, the ones I’m still going to meet ![]()
Today I am grateful for my.clients and all they teach me - I am most grateful for their acceptance.of me into the hearts of their families and the trust they place in me. I want to be healthy for them, which encourages my sobriety. I am grateful for the rain that helps me to appreciate the sunny days, as.well as the shorter days, which encourages evening self care and early-to-bed times. I am grateful for the healthy options in my kitchen. I’m grateful for my son coming by after school for lunch (hes a senior and gets our at noon
) even on weeks with his dad - I’ll welcome extra hugs any time! I’m grateful for the opportunity to start my own business . If I am not sober this will not work, so this also supports my most important goal of recovery.
I’m grateful for TS, this thread, and all of you! Thank you for all you share - it helps so much!
Good evening.
I am grateful that healing between two people goes both ways. I am grateful for the shares I heard tonight at the correction facility and I am grateful that I didnt seem to give a shit tonight and totally cross talked. I was not in control of my actions and I didnt stop myself because everything was coming from my heart. I am grateful that 98% of the time I share I dont remember what I said afterwards, and I am grateful for that because I would probably overthink what I had said. I am grateful that I can feel the shift between when I share from my heart to my head and when that shift happens is when i end my share. I am grateful for the vulnerability of the members who sat in a healing circle with me tonight, I am grateful for their clean time, 30 days, 7 days… I am grateful to be an addict and to have opportunities to share recovery with other addicts who seek it.
Morning gratitude. I’m grateful for your post Em @eph-M-eral It is beautiful ![]()
I woke up early and was deeply grateful for HALT. Yesterday evening a friend called to say thank you for my birthday wishes to her. Another friend called, we talked about the call he had with my ex on his birthday last week. I’m grateful I listened, proceeded the information and let go after taking some notes. I’m grateful I was just stunned, not angry, that my ex doesn’t know anything about how much money his lawyer claimed for settling the finances when we divorced. He seated right next to his lawyer
He doesn’t remember …
I’m grateful I ended both calls when I became tired of talking. I’m grateful I listen to my needs and I can set healthy, kind boundaries with dear people.
I’m grateful I ate when I became nervous. I was hungry.
I’m grateful this ![]()

helped me to stay sober and go to bed. Slept bad, feel tired and worn out. Too many thoughts spinning around in my head. This too shall pass after a hot shower and a pot of delicious tea ![]()
I’m grateful for my Recovery / Discovery. Grateful that I have the opportunity this morning to do some more work on becoming a better version of myself. Tending to some of my hurts and confusions instead of trying to pretend -and failing at that- they don’t exist. X
Today I am grateful for the peace before dawn and for records that play unfiltered, raw emotions of people going through the same battles of inner conflict, praying the “bottle [doesn’t] win again.” I am so grateful for a sunny day ahead and the ability to progress a little further in training and try to get a little faster and go a little further. I’m grateful for the opportunity to design my own schedule today and do what’s most important to me, one step at a time. I’m grateful for the little things like coffee and kitty cuddles, as well as the big ones like my son’s love and the inner peace and contentment I feel sometimes during each day. I am most grateful that each day I am sober, I believe that inner peace will grow.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for sleep, and how much better it’s gotten since being sober. I’m grateful for hot coffee and a good Audible book for my morning commute. I’m grateful I have a job that pays the bills, and grateful to recognize that it might be time to start looking for something else. I’m grateful for my family and our home. I’m grateful we have enough.
Everyone have a wonderful day ![]()

I’m grateful that even though I may still wake up with aches and pains of unknown provenance, I don’t have to worry that it’s because my drunk a** did some dumb sh** that I have to get all Sherlock Holmes on.
