Better sleep for once.
A brighter mood.
Feeling like a cloud has lifted.
Opening up to my sisters yesterday and getting support.
Actually feeling up to cooking dinner last night.
Sox curled up in my lap.
My other 2 cats hanging out nearby.
My boyfriend supporting me the best he can.
IOP being the help I needed.
I’m grateful that I have run on the treadmill every morning this week, which was a goal I’ve set–hopefully I can stick with it the whole month! I’m grateful that I did the vinyasa yoga class instead of the strength class yesterday in an effort to take it easy on my knees. It’s been a while since I’ve done the yoga class and it was good to remember that strength doesn’t just come from going hard at your goals, but from focus and intention as well. I’m grateful it’s Friday, and tomorrow I can give these old bones a rest.
My sobriety, 285 days free

I dont fear free time
All of you!
I’m grateful to be up even earlier this morning and finally getting to my gratitude list. Grateful for my Guatemalan coffee and my morning meditation that brought me back to Durango in springtime. I got sad we moved away from Durango and turned that into being grateful I had the chance to live there for 10 years. I’m grateful we totally uprooted our lives because of addiction and moved to Durango. I’m grateful I’ve been blessed to live in beautiful places. I think Durango was #1 God was just showing off there.
Meanwhile I’m grateful the trash men came and picked up my trash. I overfilled it just a little and I was a bit worried they might not take it. I’m grateful for the fucking little things like that.
I’m grateful I feel great this morning. I’m grateful I’m working on my health. Physical and mental.
Im grateful my pool guy is here doing his job.
I’m grateful the handy man showed up yesterday and finished work. I’m grateful we thought we had the day off from him going in and out of the house but now it’s done.
I’m grateful Benson is barking like a fool at the window as the pool guys works.
I’m grateful Norma is 7 months today and my DIL sent me the cutest card by text.
I’m grateful for a weekend around the house hunkering in and not doing much. The Super Bowl is here and a great big golf tournament and there will be lots of peopleing this weekend and I want no part of it.
I’m grateful for my home thread of G-Dudes and Dudettes
I’m grateful I stole this from Insight Timer this morning.
Today I’m grateful my old boy is sleeping on me and I pet him gently. I love him so much and already miss him. I’m grateful I’ll start my 1 week fasten vacation tomorrow. I’m grateful I started to pack. I’m grateful for therapy. I cried today, my cats will be taken care of by the catsitter. Not my ex, not my parents, not my mum. All gone. My ex too ignorant to offer assistance, I always had to ask him and I will never beg again. My parents dead. A dear friend who looked after them sometimes when ex and I were away together is very ill. Anxiety is hunting me today. I’m grateful I feel safe at home. I’m nervous. Like always before I head off for vacation. I’m grateful this shitty feeling will be over tomorrow and I’ll be happy to arrive at the resort. I love the place.
I’m grateful I can hand over everything to God and the universe, I don’t have to shoulder things alone. It’s ok to have existential fear. No worries about issues I have no influence on. This too shall pass. I’m tired as fuck. Good sober night.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I had a calm day at work. I think I learned something.
I am grateful for the sun.
I am grateful that the sun is already higher and not shining directly into my living room. I am grateful the days are getting longer.
I am grateful I could distract myself from my thoughts.
I am happy that soon my probation is over.
I am grateful Dora and Paula have found a good home.
I am grateful I can get my thoughts out here.
I am grateful I have enough.
Good evening all,
Im grateful for a day off of work, spent with family. Im grateful we have money to pay our bills, food to eat, and the necessities of life. Im grateful life can be simple. Im grateful I work at keeping it simple. Im grateful for sunshine and breezy days.
Everyone have a wonderful evening
Happy Friday
I’m grateful I work on Saturdays and I’m already tucked into bed reading.
I’m grateful I’m going to an art festival on Sunday
I’m grateful I opened up to a friend at work about my breakup. I’m grateful that I can slowly let people in and share- even when it’s uncomfortable or sensitive.
I’m grateful she opened up to me about her own struggles and her kids struggles. It made me feel less alone in this big world.
I’m grateful for others spiritual stories, when they share the magic they have experienced in their.
I’m grateful I make time to hear and listen to others.
I’m grateful others stories and miracles can make me feel warm and happy. Grateful.
I’m grateful I have a safe home, a job I enjoy, friends I love, and so much possibility ahead.
I’m grateful I absorb others moods less these days. I always just thought I’m an empath, if someone is sad I’ll be sad. I’m grateful I can detach myself from others moods. That I don’t have to pick it up and carry it. That I can be separate and balanced even when others are not.
I’m grateful for laughter and curiosity.
I’m grateful I have a job where I get to be creative.
I’m grateful for videos of puppies.
I’m grateful I trust the path I’m on.
I’m grateful for all of you

I’m grateful my Mom and Step Dad came and visited today, treated me to lunch, brought me belated Christmas gifts and Mom gave me a ring that belonged to my Dad, means alot as I haven’t had anyting of his in decades. I’m grateful I went to my homegroup NA tonight, it was a good meeting and I signed up to chair this Mondays meeting. I’m grateful I completed my phone intake/interview for finiancial assistance this morning and spent hours filling out all the forms and emailed back all the documentation they needed, hopefully. I’m grateful I am tired and have some time to relax now. I’m grateful I showered today. I’m grateful for food.
God bless you all. &
I am grateful a busy week has come to an end and weekend is finally here.
It has been an emotionally charged Friday for me. A dear colleague of mine had his last day at work and another one told me the same day, he got a job offer as well. I am genuinely happy for him, for both of them actually, they really wanted to leave.
So I did’t really know at first where this sudden intense feeling of rage and sadness was coming from, when I went groceries shopping later that night. It hit me like a train. All I wanted to do there for a second was to walk over to the wine section and wash it down with a glass of red. I haven’t had cravings like this in a long time.
I am grateful I had the chance to safely step aside and take a moment to ponder, what was going on there. I realized, it didn’t just have to do with my colleagues leaving. There has been a lot of change in my friends circle lately, people moving away, following their own dream, living life. Until now I have only permitted myself to be happy for everyone and not payed attention to how I feel about the changes. I am grateful I understood what I was really feeling was fear of being left alone while my zone of comfort is dissolving without my doing. It’s making me feel unsafe. I stress-cried a little between cornflakes and eggs (which was a tiny bit awkward, but still so much better then turning towards the alcohol) and then the craving was gone.
I am grateful for moments like this. I am grateful I learn how to handle this in a healthy way. I am grateful for the occasional cravings, which turned my attention towards the things I need to tend to. I am grateful I can share this here with you.
Morning,
I’m grateful to wake up in the Peak District this morning. I’m having tea and working through a crossword.
I’m grateful to be able to get away for the weekend.
I’m grateful my son got a job this week and he’s hoping to buy a car soon. I’m grateful I got in touch for some refresher driving lessons for him.
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to
I’m grateful for the sound of my pets all enjoying their breakfast and to watch them happily relax after.
I’m grateful it’s Saturday.
I’m grateful for managing life right now.
I’m grateful I learnt how to make quiche as it’s a favourite of mine.
I’m grateful for swimming.
I’m grateful for my Dr.
I’m grateful for the roof over our heads.
I’m grateful for the sound of the birds this morning in the garden.
I’m grateful to see things for what they are without taking my emotions into everything and letting go.
I’m grateful I have so many gratitude posts to catch up on over the course of today than you
I’m grateful to be sober for 470 days. My life is so much better.
I’m grateful that it is the weekend. Although I mostly love my work, I definitely need a bit of time away from the children.
I’m grateful for good health. I did lots of swimming this week, over 2.5 miles!
I’m grateful for good sleep.
I’m grateful for a loving and safe home. I reflect on that every day. I was not born to that, so I’m extra pleased I got to make it.
I’m grateful for the better calm and patience I have now. Is it age? Is it sobriety? Is it life lessons learned? It is a gift to have it most days.
I’m grateful for my early mornings without hangovers. And for the quiet time without people.
I’m grateful for all of you and all that you share. I learn something every week and I know this community is a key factor in my sobriety and in the joy that I take in it.
I’m grateful for strong black coffee every morning and for plenty of water throughout the day and evening. I get a nice feeling of relaxation with a decent mug in my hand. In the morning it is a sense of excitement for the new day. In the afternoon it is to keep up with the kids. In the evening my mug has cool water that I enjoy in my chair with a tremendous sense of peace. I have changed the pathways in my brain and can find relaxation and peace. For that I am grateful.
I wish you all the best today and hope you are on the path to peace.
I am so grateful for the share or re-share by @Soberbilly about empaths without boundaries. I am so appreciative of that piece as it is spot on for me and further shows me where a lot of my anger/resentment work needs to be focused.
I am grateful to relate to @Pandita 's share - what great strength you showed in the store and love the part about “stress-crying between cornflakes and eggs.”
I am grateful for race this morning as it allows me to challenge my strength and to talk myself through the uphills and downhills of the course much like talking through recovery. A type catharsis happens when I’m jogging and sometimes I tear up a bit as emotions or experiences feel as though they float to the surface and I sweat (or pant) them out. Seems a little nutty, but its mine and I need it.
I’m grateful for starting the morning with a laugh as in my dream before waking, I (40-something single mom) was dating Pete Davidson…lol. The dream was absurd and hysterical and it was nice to wake up laughing for a change.
Most importantly, I am grateful for my son being home for the week as there is much more love and laughter in this house when he is here.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I got out for a run in the sun.
I am happy that I booked a ticket for the movies later.
I am grateful the sun is shining.
I am surprised that a good friend asked me for a ‘hiking’ weekend together with a friend form university. I think I’ll agree.
I am grateful I can walk. I am grateful I have food. I am grateful I don’t count calories. Not more than what I need to know for my diabetes therapy. Oh my god I am so grateful for this.
I am grateful I have enough.
