Mid afternoon gratitude. Iā€™m grateful I did a little bit of garden work yesterday. Iā€™m grateful I went to the farmerā€™s market today. My fridge is full of fresh vegetables. Iā€™m grateful I like to cook for myself. Today it was an absolute georgious salad (if one can call this pot with 7 ingredients still salad).
Iā€™m grateful I texted my ex a really sarcastic question on something our communication lacks: answers from him. Well, at least I got an answer. No further sarcasm today.

Iā€™m grateful for friends near and afar. Iā€™m grateful I allow myself to laze on the couch, reading. Iā€™m grateful I fetched a friend the forgotten items today, not yesterday. Iā€™m grateful I realize that everything has its time.
Iā€™m grateful for doing little chores during the day, they sum up and I donā€™t feel overwhelmed. Iā€™m grateful for smiles, kind people and nice talks. Iā€™m grateful I break down big tasks into manageable pieces. This keeps my life on track :pray:

I am grateful I went to my meeting today. It is good for me. Honest shares, emotional and raw and also funny.
I am grateful for meeting my friend and her new girlfriend today. Very complicated situation there and I am grateful to realise that I couldnā€™t handle this.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful I bought valerian and melatonin. I really felt like buying something illegal. I was looking for the highest doses in one capsule. (Like lots of is helping a lot :crazy_face: still an addict here) I really need to sleep and am afraid of taking real sleeping meds.
I am grateful for the caffeine thread.
I am grateful I had a nice rest day today.

Grateful today to breeze through chores, chat with family, meet my new puppy-nephew (I lobbied hard to name him Jenny Jr., but alas), snooze on the sofa with all my sweet boys, relax in hot bathā€¦and the dayā€™s not even over! Iā€™m grateful for this life, all this love, comfort, and warmth. Iā€™m grateful the pups let me sleep til 8:30 (!!!), no one had an accident, and I got my proper brain medicine in the mail. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s the sleep or the medicine or both but I already feel better than yesterday.

I am grateful to God. Thank you for guiding me through this day, clean and sober. Please help me remain that way until I get to lay my head to rest. I am grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the grati-dudes. I am grateful that I erased facebook and messenger after mentioning it for years, Mom and Sister have been the ones encouraging me to keep it. This facebook thing was a long battle.

God grant me the Serenity to Accept the people I can not change the Courage to change the one I can and the Wisdom to know that itā€™s me.

I am grateful that I went out with my parents and sister for lunch and had a nice visit. Later in the day I informed them of the deletion and, wow, what a reaction, like I wounded them personally. I am grateful for music, humor, laughter and creativity.
God bless us all.

Getting rid of Facebook was one of the best things I did. Iā€™m glad you made your own decision, even though going against family can be hard. Iā€™m also grateful you are back :blush:

Iā€™m grateful I just came back from a 5-day trip that was intense and exhausting but all went well. All went as it should have. Not necessarily as I wanted it to go.

Iā€™m grateful I drove the rental car everywhere without the worry that I had a glass or two or three.

Iā€™m grateful my speeding tickets were simply because I was tired.

Iā€™m grateful for time spent with my youngest. Iā€™m grateful my oldest is thriving as a teen, even if he makes mistakes. We all do. Iā€™m grateful I made the most out of the tine with my husband. It was short and we touched on tough subjects without a fight.

Iā€™m grateful for long-time friendships. Iā€™m grateful that when we visit old friends, conversations are never difficult and I donā€™t need to explain that much. Iā€™m grateful they know my family so well :heart: Iā€™m grateful they help us by just talking things through with us.

Iā€™m grateful for life. For having love in my life. For being healthy and for my familyā€™s health. Iā€™m grateful that I know we will overcome our challenges in the best possible way, as long as we keep these thoughts in our minds.

Much love to you all :heart::heart::heart:

Woke up deeply grateful I didnā€™t drink alcohol last night; I sat in how I really would have felt and was honest with myself. I havenā€™t done that before (normally Iā€™d feel scared/shameful for a second then decide if I couldnā€™t stop Iā€™d better control it and get on with my day :roll_eyes:) and so this feels like Iā€™ve turned a corner in this journey as self-honesty is now showing up. Iā€™m just so grateful :heart:.

Good morning grateful friends!

Iā€™m grateful for another day sober (today is day 50!!!)

Iā€™m grateful I donā€™t have to rush around today and can take care of my few chores at my own pace.

Iā€™m grateful for the practice of mindfulness and trying to stay present. My mind likes to ruminate about the past or worry about the future.

Iā€™m grateful that my body is healthy enough to start exercising even if my mind is having trouble getting on board with the idea.
