I’ve been having rough days, and I don’t like to share that, even though you’re all so kind. It’s how I was raised. Depression, extreme headaches with electricity zapping through my brain. It was so bad Monday I could barely move. Way better, but that episode has effected my sight some and still having mild headaches. Anyway, here’s the grateful stuff. I’m grateful I believe in God and I ask for his help and guidance. I’m grateful for Buddy and that he’s a Velcro dog. It’s so nice to have someone who cares for me. I’m grateful he sleeps with me, that was his choice from day 1, he wasn’t going to sleep anywhere else. I’m grateful for Riley and all her quirks, unfortunately one is waking me up overnight so I will turn on the faucet for her to drink from. She gets away with it once, then she’s banned until morning. I’m grateful I don’t have a desire to drink, but afraid that the depression will convince me to try. I’m grateful for now, I know better.

It’s 3:30am.
Sleeping the past 3 days has been … Well there hasn’t really been any. But I’ll be okay, it is what it is I can either let it brings me down or just be grateful that I know Iv got through worse so I’ll get through this. I’m grateful it doesn’t usually last more than 4-5 days.
I’m grateful Rita is fast asleep on my chest and all others spread out around the bed just listening to them breathing is so peaceful.
I’m grateful I have an opticians appointment tomorrow.
Grateful for meditations, and a peaceful environment.

I am grateful to God thank you for guiding me through today clean and sober. I am grateful for All my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I am grateful I got a new cell phone yesterday. I am grateful to tears that my sponsee called earlier tonight to say he is leaving tomorrow for long term treatment in Ottawa. So glad he is getting to leave this town for a while where he did all his damage and had it done to him. I know how much leaving for a couple years helped me, very grateful. I am grateful that I met someone very special and she said to me how glad she is to have met me and even though she is leaving her job here, where we have developed a friendship and connection while maintaing professional boundaries she isn’t going anywhere, I am very grateful. What a day.
God bless us all.

No sleep but I’m soooooo grateful that is just insomnia and not something Iv done to my self.
Grateful to decide laying in bed was useless so at 4am decided to get up and to brush the cats for ages, I’m so grateful they are affectionate and love back.
Grateful to wash and blow dry Polly my little 
I’m grateful she loves the hair dryer.
I’m grateful today I don’t have anything to do except spend it cooking (may have opticians if my anxiety from lack of sleep isn’t bad later).
Grateful for meditations and prayer .
Grateful I am able to do lots of little things that are lovely throughout the day.

Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful the alert on my phone woke me up for the tornado warning at 1am. I’m grateful I wasn’t passed out drunk. I sheltered in place in my downstairs bathroom with my cats for 45 minutes. Extremely grateful that we didn’t get an actual tornado.
I’m grateful that despite all that, I managed some sleep. (Dreams are a bit too crazy)
I’m grateful my sister arrives today. And grateful the weather should be nice this weekend for her visit.
I’m grateful for all of you and taking things ODAAT.

I’m grateful I called my bestie yesterday, to check in and talk and share a little worry I had. I’m grateful to have a sister from another mister that kind, positive, non-judgmental and who is the best at understanding my words and non-words when I’m attempting to communicate. Like when you want to express a slightly messy idea and you make a face and wave your hands a bit and say “…you know…” and they do! I’m grateful for me to slow down a minute between goals to reset and make a plan for the new month instead of stressing myself out and just randomly doing stuff. Realizing it’s ok to rest and give myself space sometimes instead of just brute forcing my way through life until I’m exhausted, and then feeling unhappy and frustrated in an endless cycle is a lesson it took me a long time to wrap my head around. I still struggle with it, but I think I see a bit of progress and that’s encouraging!

I’m grateful to be up early and almost always have energy. Well, after my pixie and during my coffee. I’m grateful I got everyone fed and med. I’m grateful I got the kitchen cleaned up for the house cleaner, and I’ll pick up the rest of the house after gratitude. I’m grateful I can have a house cleaner come once and awhile.
I’m grateful for all the rain last night.
I’m grateful I drove home sober in pouring rain and thought “I’m sober 
!” Then I thought “how did I do this driving before I got sober? I’m grateful I never ever have to think about how much I’ve had to drink before I drive again. I’m grateful it’s scary to think, I always thought I never had “too,” much to drink and I was always capable of driving. Or was I? I’m grateful I was always careful not to have too much. Or was I? I’m grateful I now know, that was the booze talking. I’m so grateful to God and the angels that got me home safe. I’m grateful I’m no longer willing to kill you for my booze. I’m grateful I’m m not longer willing to kill for a martini.
I’m sorry 
I was “that guy,” that would say to a bartender “I’d kill for a martini.” I didn’t know what I was saying. After 1 or 2 or 3 or 4…….I could have killed. I was always able to drive home.
……… God, these dang feelings. I’m grateful for them.
I’m grateful for where I am today. Right now. Just for today.
I’m grateful to be working on step 3 again.
I’m grateful for my recoveries.
I’m grateful my happiness doesn’t depend on my wife’s drinking or not drinking. But I’m grateful she didn’t drink at lunch out yesterday so we could go out to dinner. I’m grateful for boundaries especially when we both work on them together. I’m grateful I’m working at not being Charlie Brown while Lucy is holding that football.
Being grateful is the mainspring of happiness.

Afternoon gratitude. I’m grateful for sauerkraut. It’s the third day in a row I’m eating the delicious hot pot I made. So yummi and healthy. I’m grateful I still stick to light, healthy dishes with lots of vegetables that are recommended after fasting. I’m grateful my bowel likes it very much 
I’m grateful the big red furball is sleeping on the couch with me these days. I love my cats so much.
I’m grateful the service appointment for the central heating at the farm yesterday went well. Everything is ok. I’m grateful ex and I were both there. I fetched him some of his books from my house, he gave me the al-anon literature I had asked him to bring me. I feel so stupid that I was happy to see him. I feel so stupid that it made me happy to make fire (we heat with firewood at the farm) so it’s warm and the hot water tank is full when he comes back from whatever he had to do downtown. Sometimes being a loving and caring person doen’t make life easy. A part of me still loves him, I feel so calm when he is around, sober and being nice. Well, next monday is D-day, then we will meet with our lawyers and he has to put on the table what he wants and his offers how to proceed with the farm and finances. The next step towards the final end. I’m grateful for progress allthough it hurts. I pray that we can settle this without dispute. I pray that I stick to my boundaries. I’m grateful for my competent lawyer. The future scares me when I think about it. Better take it ODAAT.
I’m grateful yesterday was meet-people-day! I ran into someone I havent’t seen in years and we went for coffee spontaneously.
In the afternoon a friend called and asked if I want to come over and have a chat. I love days like this!
I’m grateful I take it easy today. My mood is mixed, the grey sky is depressing, I still procrastinate my late mum’s tax filing. This is NOT adulting but I feel sad and lost only thinking of doing it. It makes her death so real, so definite.
I want to be loved, huged and someone tells me everything will be all right. I always feel like this when I see my ex. Boy am I getting on my own nerves with this pitty party

I am so grateful the sun is shining, I’m grateful to have had a nice walk with Polly in the church garden.
I’m grateful I haven’t napped, I still got ready for the day and I even put chicken supreme in the slow cooker to cook earlier, I’m grateful I did these things today.
I’m grateful I still have a lovely dinner to eat later and the sides to cook.
I’m so grateful for the love and compassion I feel about life today and that these feelings are becoming more regular - grateful there are more good days than bad.
I’m grateful that I actually want to take care of my body and soul and that I take the action to do so.
I’m grateful when I was so deep depression, every day, that I made my list and all it had on it was
‘get out of bed’
I’m grateful I started there and I’m grateful that I can reflect on those times and understand the struggle so many are still going through, I’m grateful everyone here is trying so hard, I’m grateful we all have eachother.
I’m grateful when I do have one of those days I know how to be kind to myself.
