I’m Grateful I got Mavy tucked in to my side keeping me warm. Makes writing on my screen a bit difficult but so worth it. Im grateful he won’t stay long.
I’m grateful for my hearing. I’m grateful I can hear Minnie lapping up some water in the kitchen and then notice the waterfall timer come on. And now I can hear wifey’s alarm clock
I’m grateful I could hear Julie’s 8 minute message on WhatsApp this morning.
I’m grateful a bad night sleep for me is sleeping from 10:30-3 I’m grateful that’s still almost 5 hours and I got in 2 long meditations that helped but didn’t put me back to sleep.
I’m grateful for the confident anxiety I feel right now because I have to confront the beast.
I grateful I hate the word confront and I’m grateful I will remember kindness and compassion.
I’m grateful I have a goal.
I’m grateful I survived my eye exam at my new eye doctors yesterday. It was awful. I’m glad I never have to go back to them again. They were horrible.
I’m grateful my handyman called me yesterday like he said he would. I’m grateful he’s got me scheduled next week.
I’m grateful I have hope for today. Hope for me.
I’m grateful I’ve finally found Hope. Hope for me. I still don’t have hope for other people I love in my life. And I think I just realized that’s ok. Let’s start with me. Isn’t that the way it always is? It has to start with us. Me.
I’m grateful today I have HOPE for me. Because I matter. And I deserve it
Fuck It always. Always. Has to start with me. I got to admit. I wish it would start with someone else once and awhile. I’m grateful I got this.
The ultimate hope is accepting what is beyond our control and believing God will use the circumstances of our lives to help us grow (in Holiness.) but I don’t like that part today so I’m leaving it out.

I am grateful that I didn’t cave into the anxiety and stress that I posted about the last time I reflected on gratitude because it’s Tuesday, and I feel less stressed, and I stayed sober, and I’m awesome.
I’m grateful to God please help guide me to do your will while remaining clean and sober just for today. I am grateful that my Mom stopped by for a visit and lunch as I hadn’t seen her since late November. I’m grateful for hooded sweatshirts. I’m grateful for the serenity prayer. I am grateful there are numerous support groups and meetings I can attend today. I am grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes.
God bless you all. &
Today I’m grateful for a day off and sleeping. Grateful for my therapist. Grateful for feeling like being myself again. Grateful for the appointment with my lawyer yesterday evening. Now I know what we will do and it will happen with or without the contribution of my ex. I’m grateful he did again not inform me about important stuff. This was an appreciated possibility to text him very straight and not friendly anymore that he has to come up with arguments for his claims and fuck off leaving the house I build and payed. I’m grateful that I feel this warm, deep grudge that leads to clarity in mind and heart instead of feeling lost and abandoned anymore. The Me I missed for so long is back Now there is hope for a content future for me
Thank you @dazercat for your post. You are such an inspiration. God bless you all.
I am grateful for the words, “Your bloodwork is some of the best I’ve seen in someone your age.” I am grateful that my liver enzyme levels aren’t of concern to my doc. I will gratefully remember the fear I felt when I thought that wasn’t the case. As long as I don’t drink, the doc thinks they will adjust quickly and we will retest for that in a month.
I am grateful for adulting, scheduling a mammogram, trying to get approved for VA Chiropractic, counseling and IOP.
I am grateful for feeling empowered today. I am grateful that I still have choices.
I am grateful for a final interview for a lucrative role. More on that after Thursday.
I am grateful for support and community and this thread.
I am grateful for the cleansing cry I had on my TLC meeting this morning. I am grateful for sharing with my voice what’s on my heart.
Good evening all,
I’m grateful for a sunny, crisp day. I’m grateful for Audible, and the library app so I can listen to books while I drive. I’m grateful for freezer meals so I don’t have to think about dinner. I’m grateful that when I feel tired now, I rest instead of drink through it. I’m grateful to see @I.cant.We.can back today! I’m grateful for everyone really, this thread is home to me. I’m grateful that @Dazercat has hope, and is working so hard. I’m grateful for all of the everyday gratitude that I can borrow when I don’t feel particularly grateful.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I do! He’s a foster fail, and his mom and her litter were all named for spices. She was Cardamom and her pups were Peppercorns (my favorite name ), Sumac and Cumin. I don’t know if the neighbors say that, but sometimes I sing my version of the Rob Zombie song, More Human Than Cumin. I was trying to convince my BF to name our new puppy Beans, because Cumin and Beans is like Mexican food, and because “Imagine being at the dog park and just shouting Beans! BEEEEAAAAAAAAANNSS!” Neither was a persuasive argument, apparently.
Cleaning the kitchen last night
My amazing hubby
Boscoe, even tho the fucker keeps waking me up in the middle of the night
No using dreams, that i remember atleast
Hot coffee
Trying a new recipe tonight
Its hump day!
Picking up my 9 month chip tmrw at my favorite ladies meeting
AA fellowship
Everyone here!
I’m grateful for Oreos. I probably shouldn’t eat Oreos like every day and that’s something for me to work on, but maybe tomorrow. I’m glad that I make more good decisions these days than previous, even with questionable Oreo choices. I’m grateful for my sore muscles, that I challenge myself, and that I mostly try hard every day. I’m grateful for the resources I have that allow me to do things and help me improve myself. I’m grateful for my snuggly family.
I’m grateful I showed up at my desk a half an hour early for a zoom work meeting. I’m grateful I’m choosing to do a morning gratitude post instead of try to cram a bunch of busy things into this “found time”.
I’m grateful for the chill evening last night. I got home from working the winter games f-r-o-z-e-n. Had a bath and a nap. Made a later dinner and tucked in early. Work will be there in the morning! Which is now, lol.
I’m grateful for moments that show me the best of humanity - like when an athlete from one team slows to help an athlete from another team, and they cross the finish line together, hand in hand.
I’m grateful that when the “lets finish strong with a pint!” part of sporting events kick-in (for volunteers, not athletes, lol), my mind knows that true connection need not involve the ingestion of rocket fuel.
I’m grateful I don’t have to venture out today unless I want to. Desk and yoga mat day, just maybe. I have everything I need.
I’m grateful for dog names that make me giggle!
I’m grateful for the courage and vulnerability and deeply raw honesty that fellow Gratidudes erntedank and Dazercat are sharing.
I’m grateful to see Brian. Ya you!
I’m grateful for Cjp’s 9 months!
Today I’m grateful for myself. I’m grateful I made some calls, found out some bullshit my ex made, corrected it and headed to our farm. I’m grateful I documented the situation and confronted my ex. I did not accept his blabla and insisted on my demands being valid and his behaviour having an negative impact on me. I insisted he listened and gave a fuck on his accusing me to be demanding and rough. If he wants me to be nice he has to inform me properly, be communicative and constructive. As he is and does neither I see no reason to wear velvet gloves. I’m grateful this realization grew deep inside me over the last months.
I’m grateful I have hope the situation will unwind finally. I’m grateful I’ll go to bed early. As on most days
I’m so grateful I went to an extra meeting last night.
I’m grateful I saw 2 empty bottles of wine by the coffee maker this morning. Ya, I might of “judged” her.
I’m grateful I read in my A Spiritual Principle A Day being Judgmental sours our ability to empathize, I don’t know how He always gives me what I need to read in the morning but She does.
I’m grateful when we walked the dogs I don’t think I was getting the silent treatment. I’m grateful I remembered at 4 am when she came to bed she said. “I failed again.”
I’m grateful to remember I’ve been there.
I’m grateful if nothing changes. Nothing changes.
I’m grateful for self care. And that might mean me going to 4 meetings a week. I’m grateful going to meetings can be a form of self care.
I’m grateful there are 4 meetings near me during the week and none of them are more than 15 minutes away.
I’m grateful my garage guys showed up today for the garage storage install. I’m so excited
I’m grateful I’m going to be hanging around the house all day. Maybe get on my reformer, maybe get in a walk.
I’m grateful for the uncomfortable silence with the elephant in the room. I’m grateful today might be one of those days when I “Don’t do something; just sit there.”
I’m grateful for recovery slogans.
I’m grateful they work for me.
I’m grateful for my sobriety.
I’m grateful for skull crushing hangovers. Otherwise I might not be where I am today. Too bad it took me the last 20 years of my drinking hangovers to finally stop.
I’m grateful I never have to have a hangover again.
I’m grateful I know one drink erases everything. Well, for me it does. I know I’d still have that clean and sober time under my belt. But the reality is. I don’t know if I could come back. None of us know that. Best for me to just stay the course.
Grateful another sober day is over and I’m already in bed.
Grateful for not drinking today.
Grateful my youngest daughter had her visa approved to move to Australia for a year… Crikes… A year! My guess is she’ll love it and not want to come back. I’m so excited for her. I’m grateful she’s got this opportunity and has worked hard to save up, what an experience.
I’m grateful to be adding up my days, just as we all are
Hey friends
I wanted to say a few things I’m grateful for today as I’ve been having a rough few weeks in my busy life. I know things are good and it’s not going to be this busy forever but it’s easy to get tied up in the stress I’m feeling right now and not see the whole picture
I’m grateful for my new job and all the opportunities it’s offering me.
I’m grateful for the travel into the city, it’s really tiring and sometimes so loud and overwhelming but its helping me grow and experience more life.
I’m grateful for the new people I’m meeting everyday, and the opportunity to see my dear friend everyday at work now we work together instead of once every few months. Genius idea getting a job with your best friend, might I add.
I’m grateful for my home and my family. The kids are getting older and I’m grateful for the relationship between us all in the family, especially now I’m not drunk all the time and I’m more present for them.
And lastly today, grateful for this forum. For the place I can come back to everyday to read and reach out. I would not have stayed sober or gotten sober as much without it.
Have a great day everyone
Good evening all,
I’m grateful I can’t remember if I’ve already done my gratitude today, and don’t feel like checking. If I did oh well, I’ll do some more . I’m grateful for the weather today, sunny and cool after some fog this morning. I’m grateful for laughs at work with coworkers. I’m grateful I got off early, and I did a workout instead of laying on the couch like I wanted. I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful for my family.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
I am so grateful I have a job and health insurance. I have a roof over my head, a family who still loves me, my gorgeous children, and above all else…I am grateful to be sober.

It’s very low impact with springs and pulleys.
