Thank you for your powerful post. It made me think and I like your humor and your pet hen

Morning,
Yesterday when I woke up my first thought was ‘I’m so glad I dont drink’. I’m grateful to feel this way, I’m grateful I’m not hankering after a drink, I’m not sure how my journey would be if I were. I’ve got this place and all of you to thank for that, and Allen Carr and Annie Grace.
I’ve had such a busy week so today I’m grateful to still be in bed. I’m walking my friend’s dog later and will bake and cook something later too.
I’m grateful for online libraries and catch up tv.
I’m grateful drinking is not a part of my life any more

Today I’m grateful for an unscheduled day that starts with gratitude and reading newspapers with my coffee. I’m grateful dinner with my Mom last night only triggered 1 moment of awful, negative feelings, but I quickly thought through why she reacted the way she did and moved on – or PIVOTED. I’m grateful for the beautiful sunrise out my window and for the change in weather reports showing much less rain than expected. I’m grateful for my training, my pace increasing and for way I feel when I am running. My confidence and the way I see myself is shifting and that is truly a blessing. I am grateful for each moment that I don’t want to drink. I am grateful for this thread and this forum, and wish each of you a peaceful day.

I’m grateful for a ten minute Yoga Nidra morning meditation with Benson. 
Poor Mavy came up and left 
I felt bad.
I was driving home from a late dinner last night thinking how grateful I am that there is not a ounce of alcohol in me for the ride home. For over 3 Fucken years 
Ya, we go out to eat a lot! And the hopping crowded wine tasting bar restaurant we went to last night, with all this cool wine paraphernalia would have made it dangerous for me to drive home over 3 years ago. I’m grateful I’m sober. I’m grateful I am no longer willing to get behind the wheel of a car and kill you for my drink. Because that is exactly what I use to do. I’m so grateful to God somehow I never killed anyone. I’m grateful I always knew my limits. 
Or did I? Who the fuck knows. Fuck I’m depressing myself.
Im grateful the dogs are barking at something.
I’m grateful the dogs were rumpussing last night, unfortunately it’s around my swimming pool. Makes me nervous. I’m grateful I’m always outside with them or can see them when the old dog girl 
(M) is outside.
I’m grateful we got Alice a full tank yesterday on the sub Q’s. She lookin good I’m grateful I swear she was following us around yesterday waiting for it.
I’m grateful I got my meeting tonight and hopefully tomorrow if it doesn’t cut into my eye doc appointment. I’m grateful I think it’s pretty funny, while in Thousand Oaks last week having a great time, I was thinking, “You know, things aren’t that bad. Maybe I don’t need these meetings.”
I’m grateful for stinking thinking.
I’m grateful I can laugh at myself.
I’m grateful I’m chairing the meeting tonight. I get to pick “Changed Attitudes.” It was so easy to do in a group setting last week. Not so easy at home alone just the 2 of us. I’m grateful it can be done though.
I’m GRATEFUL I am no longer willing to kill you for a drink anymore.
“I looked around and thought about my life. I felt grateful. I noticed every detail. That is the key to time travel. You can only move if you are actually in the moment. You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.”

I am grateful that I can see that my mind ruminating and replaying negative things is a trigger and a trap. I am grateful I have tools to strengthen my resolve and encourage me to refocus on healthier things. I am grateful I woke up anxious and unsettled but sober. I am grateful I have a whole day to fill. I am grateful I can control 1 thing about that day- I will not drink. I may continue to feel anxious and unsettled, but I will ride that wave sober. I am grateful I know that means that the negative feelings will crash to shore and pass eventually, and I will have processed them instead of numbing them and having them return even stronger.

Today I’m grateful for my warm house. For cat snuggles. For the old boy being still here with me. It seems to me he had a not so good day today, I’m a bit worried. I love him so much. I’m grateful I did finances again. I’m grateful I have a good memory because when I was finished I somehow overwrote my excel sheets with csv. Fucking all I did the whole day is lost 
Back to start tomorrow. Should only take a few hours, thanks to myself for knowing what I’m doing. Exept how to save a file properly 
It’s evening and dark. Most of the day was grey again. I’m grateful for the sunbeams that made it through this depressing grey. I’m moody. I miss my mum. I miss my ex. I want to be cuddled and loved. I waaaaannnt … I’m grateful this feelings will pass. I’m grateful I’ll be in bed early, already took my sleeping meds. Thoughts are rushing and I want to step out of that hamster wheel in my head. I’m grateful the big red furball is sleeping next to me on the couch. All cats are sleeping. I’m grateful for being sober.

Today i am grateful for:
- My relationship with God and the faith and trust and reliance on God that i have. That no matter what happens i can always come to God with anything.
- Me being open with my husband this morning about all the stuff thats in my mind and about my mental health (which we rarely talk about)
- For all of you on TS that make me feel not so alone and for those that encourage me. A place where i can share practically anything with.
- Gentleness. Today I have realized that im human. That I dont have to put on a good front that nothing is bothering me. That its okay to feel what i feel and that its okay that i have things to work on. Im not perfect.
- For my health. Even though I struggle with my eating at times, this is something that i can continually work on overtime. There is no rush in having to be at my goal weight for a specific time.
- My job. Yes my job lol Im grateful that I can work and that i have a job to work at. Even tho its hard some days, i just need to show up and be grateful that i have the opportunity to work.
- The cold weather and especially the bright beautiful sun thats out there today. Its really picking up my spirits
- And finally snow peas. Bcuz they are good and they remind me of when i was a little girl eating fresh green beans/peas from my moms garden

I’m grateful for 25 days today. I’m grateful for my life. I look around at my family, my job, my grad program I’m 2 classes from finishing, the baseball team I am the head coach of, and I realize I’m the richest man I know. It’s funny, when the lotto gets big I always try to get a ticket but as I buy it and wait for the numbers part of me always says “you know what God, I know it would be nice to be rich but the truth is you made me a rich man and I don’t deserve any of it if we are judging my life on my worst days.” I’m grateful for the moments that led me to decide to get sober because they all string together to lead me to a decision that saved my life. Happy Sunday everyone, sorry to San Francisco fans I am sure there will be lots of talk on the sports thread

I’m grateful it’s a sunday night and I’m not trying to extend the weekend by sipping the night away.
I’m grateful one of my work-ish activities this week got postponed. I thought I had some homework this aft, but I took a nap instead. Delish. I am grateful for my work.
I’m grateful I can go easier on myself when I just need to catch up on rest and sleep. I did a good lot of that this weekend. Guilt-free.
I’m grateful for winterfest here! I’m grateful to witness the intense drive of young athletes. It was cold this morning, but I’m grateful I get to help out. I hope the weather doesn’t drop below race temps for them. Or me. 
I am grateful for my cozy little home. It’s late to be eating, but I’m grateful for the soup I have on the stove. Inspired by a pic of soup @EarnIt made some time ago. Maybe I’ll post a pic myself.
I’m grateful for the meeting I attended online tonight (that’s all I can get up here - but I’ll take my online Sangha over life “sans Sangha”, any day). I’m grateful to have heard “the opposite of addiction is connection”.
I’m grateful for Bootz’ writing “They say you live forward, but understand backward.”
These will be important for me in the week ahead.
I am grateful for our milestones! Cjp’s and hubby’s! and LAB’s and hubby’s! And to see Brian! Ya you! For Gratidudes on day eighteen-bajillion and day one. We are all worth it.
I am grateful for heartwarming pics of Claire and Brian and baby Gus and guru Gumby too. 
I am grateful for another day. 
Maybe you all sleep as soundly as this old dog girl. 
My gratitude for her actually makes my heart burst. (Not derailment! Gratitutude!)

I am grateful I finally decided to get to a Doctor’s appointment. My AST/ALT isn’t great. Dr. Google says pretty bad and I have low sodium, also not great.
I am grateful that the VA ran a thorough blood panel and no matter what, I am sure it will be OK. I see the Doc on Tuesday.
I am grateful the results scared the shit out of me.
I am grateful there will be no more waffling on why I can’t drink.
I am grateful to be sober because of that and so many other reasons.
I am grateful for that Emm was inspired by my soup. 
I am grateful for the mushroom stroganoff I made. Though, my daughter didn’t come home for dinner. It’s OK. She’s hanging out with her friend before the semester gets crazy.
I am grateful for all of you and grateful for the stories that live in this forum.
I am grateful it’s nearly time for bed.

Hi All,. I attended a birthday party for two friends and was shocked to be in a room of 150-200? Peoples that felt like Sangha loving ways.
Grateful for a psychic shift. But guilty for encouraging a friend to enjoy their drinkinh, I guess I was escaping with their cost . I didn’t drink and that’s still solid, Ty Lord!!
Found a local recovery group and bought the book , Eight Step Recovery. Will check out if their having in person groups,. Let’s hope!!
Looks good so far and lucky to be near by.
Still have some social anxiety but will meditate on what am I avoiding or demanding regarding interaction with others. One thing I know is I can try to reparent myself regarding some things I went through ( and I will remember it was the past and myaddict part was leading not my True Self.
Grateful to be excited to try out this Eight step Recovery group.
Easy does it and try to enjoy your sober ride.
Love and light to you

I’m grateful I’m sober and clean today.
I’m grateful for my job, nursing in a detox facility, where yesterday I found out -again- how rewarding and tough working there can be, both at the same time. Grateful life has bought me there. Grateful I am where I am right now. Grateful I got a chance to learn and grow and live and love.

I am grateful to wake on a Monday and be excited for the week (cant believe I actually typed that, bleh-- but its true). I am grateful for the time I spent with my son this weekend and for the things I was able to accomplish around the house, sober and not hungover! I am grateful for my body allowing to complete week 1 of my training plan. I am grateful for coffee and newspapers to start the day and to be able to learn from all of you.
