Yes to the catharsis that the running brings. I swim a lot and I can feel my body pushing through emotions and releasing tension.
I wish I had learned that when I was young. Such an important part of life.

Good morning
I am grateful for guidance from the universe by the way it graciously offers me opportunities for do-overs. I am grateful that I get second chances, third chances and sometimes one-millionth chances. I am grateful that the amount of chances I get depends soley on the amount of suffering I wish to endure. I am grateful that the sooner I choose love the sooner the suffering will end. I am grateful I understand this now.

Grateful for a quiet(ish) moment with the puppies, and grateful for our XL-Dog-Bed sized heating pad, that reaches from the back of my head and neck where I hold all my tension to my hamstrings. (I didnāt steal it from a dog that needs it, he died last year.) Iām going to live in this heating pad all weekend, I think.

I initally was going to take some time away from TS. But im grateful for those that showed me that nothing has to be black or white. So im not distancing myself completely but will spend more time on this gratitude thread. Will focus more on positivity which is what this thread is all about. So today I am grateful for:
- Todays sunshine and birds chirping
- People who genuinely care about me
- God saving me
- My recovery and how far I have come
- My job and being able to help provide for my family
- This raisin cinnamon bagel im about to eat
- Being able to experience life as it was meant for me to be and not under the influence of drugs and alcohol

Good morning all,
Im grateful I have a safe home full of love. Im grateful we have what we need. Im grateful to be watching the wind blow outside from my nice cozy couch. Im grateful tonight we will go listen to my daughterās school
Orchestra concert- she is very excited, and has been practicing very hard. We most likely wonāt even be able to see her, but she will know that we are there, and proud of her. Im grateful Iām present for things like this.
Everyone have a wonderful day

Too much to catch up.
Today Iām grateful I arrived at the resort Iāll stay for a week. Reopening was in december, a lot has changed. I still love it here. Boy, am I tired. Iām grateful there was low traffic and the weather was good. Iām grateful the catsitter texted me that everything is ok at home. I missed my cats even before I left the house. Itās hard but I need this vacation and I need to be away for a week. Iāll read a bit and will fall asleep soon. Iām grateful I feel safe and cared

Iām grateful to God thank you for lovingly guiding me through this day, clean and sober, please help me remain that way, just for today. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the grati-dudes. Iām grateful I no longer feel the need to catch up anywhere on here or IRL if I chose to or my HP decides I should then thats great. Iām grateful the headache I had since I woke up is gone and Iām grateful I rarely get them. Iām grateful my phone woke me last night to notify me I made it to five days clean and sober, when my phone beeped at one a.m. I thought, uh oh who wants me to join them in something unhealthy. Iām grateful I rememberd I earsed all those numbers yet havenāt changed mine, I may do that yet if my boundaries get pushed and Iām feeling vulnerable. Iām grateful there is a twelve step meeting either A.A., N.A. or C.A. within a twenty minute walk from home everyday.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. I believe in you. Ya you!!

Iām grateful for the pause of a weekend.
Iām grateful I didnāt drink. A busy, stressy week. I left a full-day meeting on Weds with gnawing anxiety about the issue/topic of the meeting (enviro/social stuff). Was headed to the airport to travel to different meetings on Thurs-Fri. I cried on the way. Knowing I have little influence over the outcome of the issue. Knowing I craved feeling nothing, and how dangerous that is for me. Knowing that I was passing through three airports, all of which have former āwatering holesā for me, and knowing how I would have dealt with my feelings in the before time.
My first flight was delayed and I just made my connection. (Iād have been miffed about the missed drinking opportunity, in the you-know-when time.) The second flight? The gentleman I was sitting beside said something that made me laugh right off the bat. And there we sat, on the tarmac, for over an hour. Delayed. The people all around me ā the young couples and babies and their grandparents and the fellow next to me ā well, we just chilled and chatted and chuckled. I recall thinking how grateful I was for these dear humans I will never see again. I recall thinking how furious I would have been, had I just been trying to get through time until I could uncork a bottle.
Iām grateful we landed safe and sound. Iām grateful the rest of the meetings, my travel, my week, went well. Stressful, but ā tools to use! Iām grateful I got home, tired, last night ā and calmly unpacked and unwound.
Iām grateful I care. Iām grateful too for equanimity. To have an abundance of opportunity to practice it. It and gratitude.
Iām grateful for you Gratidudes and how I missed you! I still practiced gratitude, just didnāt post it. Not the same. 
Iām grateful for another day.

I ate an apple with my mouth open while sobbing and driving. Lol, sigh. So much better than drinking, yes.
Youāre right. The occasional cravings turn our attention towards the things we need to tend to.
Iām grateful for your post.
Iām grateful we have a place where we can safely say when we feel unsafe. Or raw, or hurt, or angry, confused, tired, sad. Any of it.
Iām grateful for you.

This morning Iām grateful for all of you who mentioned crying in daily situations. Me too. Happy Iām not alone I used to cry in the supermarket when the reminders of my ex and my mum where overwhelming and I suddenly felt horribly lonely, sometimes leaving without purchase due to an upcoming panic attack. Iām grateful these episodes are mostly gone. I cry in the car because all of a sudden everything is too much for me. Iām gratefull this feeling passes when I let go and tell myself itās ok to feel that way. I cry in the kitchen when I watch my cats wishing they remain healthy and accompany me for another years, especially my 17 year old boy. I donāt think I have another loss in me to survive. Iām grateful I can hand all of this to God and the universe, my influence is minor, I work on myself and thatās enough for me
Some happy gratitude: I slept wonderful allthough it was midnight until I fell asleep. New room, new bed, unfamiliar for the first night. Now I laze around in bed after a very healthy breakfast and have to do nothing. Not even thinking if I donāt want to. A sunday full of opportunities ahead. The church bells are ringing. I love the sound. I love the quiet and serenity of this place. The nuns are so heartily and equanimous. Itās a grace that guests are welcome here. I snuggle into the atmosphere here like a cat to their human. Itās too early to miss my cats, now Iām happy to be here and to be just me, myself and I

Grateful for a late start this morning
Grateful I didnāt even try to sleep last night before putting on a sleep meditation for 11 minutes. I didnāt stand a chance. 
Iām grateful for Insight Timer.
Iām grateful I sleep so well now that Iām sober.
Iām grateful I went trouser shopping alone yesterday after lunch. Iām grateful it was uncomfortable and maybe the more I do stuff alone. For me. The easier it will get.
Iām grateful tech support fixed my camera remotely on my alarm system yesterday that I somehow broke 
Iām grateful I couldnāt get out of my pouty, victim mood yesterday. Iām grateful I acknowledged it to myself. Iām grateful I tried to get out of it but failed.
Iām grateful that mood yesterday lead me to step 3. Iām grateful I caught myself letting god go through that door first. Then follow him/her. Iām grateful to conscientiously notice me doing this! Working the steps 
Iām grateful Iāll always remember when I let god go through that garage door first and I followed.
Iām grateful for epiphanies like this. Because it worked. And now Iāll probably start consciously doing it more.
Iām grateful I donāt use that security camera to spy on my wife to see if sheās passed out in her chair . I never thought about it until it was broken. Iām grateful I told her about it. Iām not sure but spying on my wife with our security camera might be considered insanely codependent, and giving addiction too much power over me. Iām grateful Iāll just let god go through that door first. And Iāll follow.
Im grateful Iām not that kind of guy. That would spy on his wife.
Iām grateful Minnie got up on the couch and is looking at me. Iām grateful Daisy just made this cute funny cat noise.
Iām grateful my team is not in the super bowl. Makes it easier to watch. Ya I can say that now.
Iām grateful for the 4th time Iāll be watching it sober.
Iām grateful the Super Bowl parties arenāt ALWAYS at my house anymore.
Go Eagles 
When I blame someone else for something, I give up my power to them.

Iām grateful the evening cry episode didnāt last long and the resentments against my ex disappeared. I go to sleep at peace. Iām grateful for this place where I feel cared and safe
