I’m grateful for where I am right now, 1139 days clean and sober. The Ol Burner on my lap. Fire in the fireplace. Waterfall running outside. Hot coffee. Minor back pain that doesn’t really need ice. And a much better attitude for this Valentine’s Day. Oh, and a dinner res I made ages ago.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon. I’m especially grateful for Al-Anon meetings. I’m grateful all I knew about Al-Anon and codependency didn’t mean shit until I got to a meeting. And I thought I knew it all I’m grateful my life became unmanageable 8 + months ago.
I’m grateful I got to the meeting too early yesterday after a couple of errands. The guy who is always there setting up the tables wasn’t coming and the lady that opens up was happy to have some muscle show up to set up tables. I’m grateful how God puts me in the right place at the right time. He’s done that a lot for me in my life. Thank you Big Guy.
I’m grateful for the squadron of javelinas that DID show up yesterday after my gratitude list. There was about 15 or 20 of them and they all paraded across the tee box. I’m grateful Minnie slept through it all because it was after her walk and she couldn’t be bothered. I’m grateful Benson held down the fort and was a barking maniac through the whole thing and saved our lives
I’m grateful for the clouds and the rain and the cold desert air and the gray sky.
I’m just pretty content and grateful for my recoveries and yours. Especially yours because I know I could of never done it alone without you. Especially YOU
Gratitude is and attitude that hooks us up to our source of supply. And the more grateful you are, the closer you are to your maker, the architect of the universe, to the spiritual core of your being.

This evening this had really warmed my heart as I felt grateful to read this, and to notice this in my own life and sobriety. Thank you.
I’m grateful for the universe sending little Rita (our little kitten) to us to be cared for and I’m grateful she has a whole pet family for her, to show her the way and protect and care and love her.
I’m grateful that my pets can go outside safely, I’m grateful that I have a garden and will make Rita a safe cat enclosure so she still can enjoy being outside safely.
I’m grateful that I know the other cats will happily spend time in there with her too. I’m grateful for her love I’m grateful they all love eachother and Polly loves so much too and her affection and loyalty are adorable.
I’m grateful when Rita wakes up in the night she doesn’t realise how much noise she is making and it makes me feel all warm with love to know she is just being Rita and that she can be herself here.
I’m grateful for all the love around me, I’m grateful I know how to love too.
I’m grateful for nice neighbours.
I’m grateful for my son, who trusted me the very first day I said I’m not drinking anymore, just like that, he didn’t doubt me.
I’m grateful I haven’t let him down on that and that he stuck by me when both our lives were turnt upside down due to life just being life.
I’m grateful we have eachother.
I’m grateful he is really taking care of him self, and his confidence is growing. I’m grateful he does not drink or smoke.
I’m grateful to be a mum.
I’m grateful for the stars in the sky.
I’m grateful for learning the hard way, and just that I understand now that life is really great sober.
I’m grateful that I really am sober and the life I chose to live when I wasn’t gives me a horrible churning feeling in my stomach when I think back, because that’s fear I feel, fear of never wanting to put my self or those around me through that again. I’m grateful I have been given that chance to be sober.
I’m grateful to becoming more accepting of the things I can’t change.
I’m grateful today wasn’t so bad, in fact it was pretty good🌞
I’m grateful for the sweet Valentines gifts from my co-workers.
I’m grateful for cards that make me feel seen💛
I’m grateful that for Valentine’s Day this year I’m choosing and loving me.
I’m grateful that I have power over the thoughts in my mind, that I can redirect them however I wish.
I’m grateful I can paint a positive, loving world.
I’m really grateful for my silliness.
I’m grateful I approach life playfully these days.
I’m grateful for laughter.
I’m grateful I’m seeking less.
I’m grateful I can find what I need inside me.
I’m grateful I’m setting intentions.
I’m grateful I’m aware of my patterns and every time I make a new choice and walk a new path- I’m rewiring my brain.
I’m grateful every time I make a new choice, that trail gets more defined. Easier to take each time.
I’m grateful I’m afraid less. That I’m getting accustomed to living in the great unknown. Sometimes I even find it exciting. Other times it’s not at all. And in those moments I’m grateful I can remind myself that I am safe and that life is unfolding as it’s meant to.
I’m grateful when I started to let go of control- lots of the anxiety I felt in my daily life started to dissipate.
I’m grateful I know that this journey has no right and wrongs- only choices and what we make of each day.That there is no destination, no crossing line to break through.
I’m grateful that 506 days ago I decided to stop drinking. That the transition my life would under go would be drastic. That things would fall away from my life. That sometimes it would be terrifying, sad, confusing, overwhelming. I’m grateful I never let those moments, that fear over take me. I’m grateful that in return for sitting with all my pain and discomfort- I met myself. I learned to keep myself safe, use my voice, stop recreating the same traumatic patterns over and over. I learned to learned to choose love over fear. I learned to love myself unconditionally. That is my gift to me this V day.
Happy Valentine’s Day
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through this day clean and sober. I am grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I am grateful I had a highly productive day, did some banking, paid some rent arrears, took paperwork to my Dr. to apply for a special diet allowance, got blood work done, called two detoxs to see where I am on their waitlist, went to two A.A. meetings, one C.A. meeting (where I got my one week keytag) and an in-house basic recovery group, did some grocery shopping, went to breakfast with my sponsor, cleaned my apartment, rode my bicycle for almost an hour, walked some gentleman from detox home from a meeting, made fresh chocolate chip cookies, messaged with family and friends, invited a lady over for dinner and then found out she’s half my age and is under house arrest so she couldn’t but wanted too(red flags that I didn’t notice atm gratefully avoided) I’m grateful for forgiveness. I am grateful for the twelve steps.
Morning,
I’m grateful for a lovely sleep.
I’m grateful I am able to take the day off today as I heard yesterday evening that my dad is in hospital so I’ll visit him later.
I don’t know what’s happened to the relationship with my sister lately, I need to work on it. I realise that since my mum died I’m drifting apart from my family. I think I need to make more effort. I’m grateful to realise this.
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to

Happy Valentine’s and here’s to another 24, let’s go Much love with a thankful heart:heart:
Today I am full of gratitude to have found a face to face Recovery Dharma near me, I thought they were just online, which I’m grateful to have them online too.
I’m grateful I feel able to take this next step in my recovery but have already been using these tools in sobriety and want to widen my knowledge and commitment and be involved as one.
I plan to go to the face to face that is on tomorrow night. I hope I feel confident enough to just turn up, that’s all I need to do is turn up and the rest will fall into place itself.
I am grateful for the snuggled I got all night squashed to the wall in my own bed from my pets … like I’m in their bed really.
I’m grateful for Basil who makes the most loveliest meows like singing until I get out of bed - those depressed days that are rough this is like a life line in disguise. I love him for knowing me better than I know myself some times.
I’m grateful today is pet pamper day, they all love this day especially Polly she loves her shampoo and blow dry so much that when ever I put my head upside down to dry it with the hair dryer, she literally pushed my head out the way and sits in its place
Have a lovely day everyone, I’m grateful to read back 5-6 days of gratitudes I missed, I stayed up late doing he this really happy to read from you all thank you for being here and opening my heart more to life and to see more with my eyes and
Today I’m grateful for sore muscles. It tells me that I’m not used to move as much as yesterday. I’m grateful for our morning walk in silence. I’m grateful for the lovely dog who I meet every day. I’m grateful for the pure joy when I fondled this big cutie. It’s wednesday and I start missing my cats. I’m grateful the catsitter sends me pictures. I’m grateful for all the treatments I get, for meditation, for our meals together in silence.
I’m grateful for insights allthough they reveal unpleasant characters. I feel very uncomfortable looking at these sides of my personality. I feel shame. I work on letting go. I’m grateful fasten helps me to become a better person. I’m deeply grateful for this place where I feel save and cared, where I can be with all my flaws in silence, where I find peace for my soul and joy in moving my body again.
I am grateful to be heading into day 4 sober. Oddaat.
I am grateful that I am being patient with myself but also aware that i am overeating. Trying to fill the void. Top priority atm is sobriety, but this is next.
I am grateful to be able to rest today before work.
I’m grateful for another day sober. I really never thought I’d get this far.
Grateful that I give myself time in the morning to relax with my coffee and cats and don’t rush to start the day.
I’m grateful for all I’m learning in the IOP, both about sobriety and mental health. I’m glad I found a problem for dual diagnosis. And I’m grateful my insurance has covered me staying in the program this long.
I’m grateful for the support I receive here. I don’t always feel like I have much to give back since I’m early on in recovery but I’m here reading several times a day and it really helps. I’m inspired by all the recent big milestones.
I’m grateful for the saying “progress over perfection.”
