I’m grateful to God, please help me stay clean and sober, just for today. I am grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I am grateful that my parents and sister came to visit at my place over the past few days. That is new for us because either I didn’t allow it or they didn’t feel safe. I am grateful my sponsor took me for breakfast earlier. I am grateful my A.A. homegroup met this afternoon. I am grateful there were enough people in attendance to split into a topic discussion or big book study and I chose to study the book with some longtimers. I am grateful the sun was out today so I got out my bicycle and rode the long way to and from the meeting. I am grateful for an invite to watch the Superbowl with some sober supports. I am grateful for the twelve steps and the people who practice them.
God bless you all. &

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful to have a work to go to.
I have some tough thoughts atm, not able to step away from atm. I’d like to scream them out here but this is impossible.
I am grateful that when I opened the window yesterday morning it felt like spring somehow.
Unfortunately I am not sure but I think this is the first time since August when my relapsing started that I have strung together a week. I am grateful I can find some peace by remembering progress and not perfection. I am grateful I don’t have to work tomorrow only because I am awake way to late. I am grateful that this layoff my actions caused is giving me time to focus on recovery. I am trying to be grateful for the opportunity to learn from my mistakes.
God bless you all. &
Today, I am grateful for a renewing sober sleep amd for the fun my son and I had watching the Super Bowl. I’m grateful he seems ok after his break up and that his next chapter (college) awaits as he sems to have outgrown this one. I’m grateful for the relationship we have and for his job and the growth that has brought him.
I am grateful to start the day feeling ready and confident and that each night I choose not to pick up, the more that confidence builds.
I am grateful for smoothies and my concoction of nature’s gifts, including essential oils to start the day strong.
Finally, I am grateful to see my mom today and help her out, but also grateful for the tools i have in place (including TS, an online meeting, and a strength class), to help me not pick up when I leave as I am typically stressed and feeling rough.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a safe drive to work in the rain. I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful that because I don’t drinkI have the time, and energy to do things that feed my soul. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
My sobriety, 288 days free from weed and alcohol
Woke up without a hangover
First super bowl sober in many many years
Quality time with the hubby
Boscoe waited to wake me up until 4am instead of 2
A forecasted beautiful day here today
My desire to continue living soberly
Progress not perfection
My chicken stew last night was delicious
Mid day naps
Getting a longtime needed teeth cleaning today
Hope
Joy
Sunshine
Boscoe cuddles
All of you!
I’m grateful to wake up just in time
I’m grateful for all the clouds and the rain off in the distance.
Im grateful I think we’ll be able to get our dog walk in without getting rained on.
I’m grateful I’ll only be able to make one meeting this week. Today. And I’ll be ok.
I’m grateful the week has some free days and some pretty booked up days.
I’m grateful I was able to watch the whole Super Bowl yesterday and not pass out during part of it.
I’m grateful I ate a healthy dinner during the Super Bowl. And I didn’t have a bunch of chips and dips and wings and stuff.
I’m grateful I looked up to see Daisy crouched down in the attack position watching the birds outside.
I’m grateful to see Minnie outside by the swimming pool protecting our domain. She’s so good at it. I’m grateful when I thought she was barking at nothing the other day I went out and saw a squadron of javelinas. If they weren’t moving I would have thought she was barking at large dark rocks.
I’m grateful there’s no javelinas out there today.
I’m grateful for the wonders of the desert.
I’m grateful for “Shared Albums,” on my apple devices so my children can post pics one place and everyone invited can see them.
I’m grateful for the modern technology that keeps me as close to my grandchildren as I can.
I’m grateful if I ever need a smile I can look at Minnie outside protecting our domain.
I’m grateful she always brings a smile to my face.
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful and so fucken excited Dana has her year today. She’s worked so fucken hard.

Today I’m grateful for this wonderful place. For the walk in the morning, for the meals in silence, for the small creek I can walk along enjoying the fresh air. I’m grateful for the Kneipp treatment I got, for the massage, for the nice people in the group. I’m grateful the catsitter sent me a picture of my furbabies, everything is fine
I’m grateful I could let go at least a bit of the grief, the hurt, the resentments that are coming and going. I feel save and cared here, I’m so grateful for this sanctuary.
I’m grateful I have conscious conversations with people and really listen and connect.
Before I would be elsewhere, stuck in anxiety, wanting to escape, making the right noises to then end the conversation and be on my own.
I now look at people, I smile, I compliment, I want to hear what people have to say, their story and how their feeling. I find everyone fascinating and want to share what I can with them.
Being sober is like breathing crisp cold air on a early morning.
I’m grateful I survived another Monday! Grateful that I didn’t head into it with a hangover and end it by renegotiating rules about drinking “just one” on weeknights or some other kind of horsesh*t I used to tell myself.
I’m grateful I had a therapy session scheduled today. I never go on Mondays, but I knew I could use it after last week.
I’m grateful for my online Sangha this evening. A very peaceful meeting.
I’m grateful for the sun this morning. For the sideways snowstorm this afternoon. It kiboshed my plans for a walk, but it was quite lovely in a wintry way.
I’m grateful I have a challenging task this week for work, and that recovery has taught me progress, not perfection. One bite at a time.
I’m grateful for quiet tunes to unwind to. For early bed times and rising unapologetically early. (I’m grateful Boscoe can’t wake me!)
I am grateful to God for guiding me through this day clean and sober. I am grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I am grateful for the courage to have tough conversations with family and friends, new and old. I am grateful that I just checked my bank and see that I finally received some financial aide as humbling as that is. I am grateful I made more legal money last year than I ever have. I am grateful I can work on accepting that blowing said money doesn’t make me a stupid or bad person just a human with far to many addictive tendancies. I am grateful for music, humor and laughter. I am grateful to be working on finding a healthy balance and emotional sobriety. I am grateful I somehow still have numerous supports that remind me not to rush these things(odaat) I am grateful that at the narcotics anonymous meeting I chaired earlier tonight we read and discussed the chapter on love from the back of a wonderful piece of literature called Living Clean. I am grateful for the twelve steps and the people who practice them.
God bless you all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that spring is around the corner. This time translates to mid August when you can also sense autumn in the morning.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful for a nice yoga class last night.
Morning,
I’m grateful that I have a job that is flexible, varied and local.
I’m grateful to see some super duper milestones this week.
I’m grateful that I live in the countryside and love it.
I’m grateful I know to change my mindset when I’m feeling sorry for myself
Edit to add… I’m grateful that 2 of our household are tidy!!!
I’m grateful for a day that celebrates love. I’m grateful for waking up early, sans hangover, to enjoy some quiet coffee and paper time before the day starts. I’m grateful for my inspiring clients and the strengthening class (teacher akd participants) I took last night. I’m grateful for supportive friends and peace and clarity gained with a hike in the woods. I’m grateful for a comfortable home in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
I need to make this a daily practice, particularly while I’m really struggling with my mental health.
Things I’m grateful for:
Waking up day 38 sober.
Getting somewhat decent sleep.
Not being tempted to drink despite horrible anxiety and panic.
My cats snuggling with me.
Decaf coffee so I can pretend to have coffee without making my anxiety worse.
My insurance for continuing to cover the IOP.

of javelinas. If they weren’t moving I would have thought she was barking at large dark rocks.
