I’m grateful the mornings are lighter earlier, it makes it much easier to get out of bed. Grateful to get back on my healthy eating after a break. Grateful for YT workout videos, you can find pretty much anything on there.
Grateful to be back at work today after a week’s holiday.
Grateful my slow cooker chicken tagine was delicious when I got home.
Grateful for Insight Timer, I must’ve listened to chapter 6 of Wind in the Willows about 26 times, i still haven’t heard the end. Going to listen now before bed so I can move to chapter 7.
I’m grateful for another sober day
I’m grateful every time the Amazon drivers just knock and leave the packages outside and walk off I still say outloud as I collect them thank you. (I open the door within 20 secs of them knocking and the drivers no where to be seen)
I’m grateful I just checked my security camera and was reminded to always have my manners which I’m really usually good at.
But today the driver knocked and I just opened the door didn’t even look around, picked up the packages, and closed the door.
I’m grateful for the blunt reminder after just checking my security camera alert that the one time I didn’t say out aloud ‘thank you’, the man was standing just to the side waiting and he put his thumb up and all I seen was my head and hand take that package and close the door.
I’m grateful this has made me feel really mean.
I’m grateful that I checked the camera alert to be reminded that no matter what keep up my ways as Its respectful. I actually thought when I opened the door theres no point saying thankyou out loud looking crazy to passers by because there always gone.
I’m grateful to be reminded that even if I’m saying ’ thank you’ and the drivers already ran off that there will always be one that will wait, and they deserve that respect.
I feel so mean
It was mean.
I’m grateful I feel care for other people feelings.
I’m grateful for the driver walking to my door in the rain when you can’t park outside.
I’m grateful to think maybe he had been before and heard my thank you out will come again hear it.
I’m grateful dinner is cooked, although I’m not hungry yet.
I’m grateful the pets so went out for 20 minutes to toilet and have a quick run around.
I’m grateful we have their toys to set up and play with.
Thank you soberbilly!
Today I’m grateful for a day full of reading, watching and snuggling cats, cooking yummi lunch and a friend calling for a chat, some other people texting me. I’m grateful for sunshine, I’m grateful I stayed inside, I didn’t want to work in the garden. I wanted to read and think a lot. I’m gratefully in bed already
I’m grateful I was able to get thru another week/weekend sober. I’m grateful my slip was short lived. What works for me, is I don’t beat myself up, I don’t shame myself, I don’t see how that could help anyone. I do struggle with depression as I believe so many drinkers do, why add to that?!
I’m grateful for my home, my employment, my dog and cat. I’m grateful today will be another day sober.
*As a side note, I wrote a list of things on my phone that happen when I drink, If it crosses my mind to drink, I read it. It helps me.
- Can’t moderate
- Money
- Weight gain and health
- Headaches
- Can’t wake up in morning
- Don’t remember anything
- And most of all, I never do anything else! (crafts, puzzles, games, reading, actually remember what I watched on TV, clean house).
Thank you cjp!
Love this list and I think I’ll take a page from your book and add a list to my phine as well. Thanks for the great idea.
I am grateful for 29 days sober!
I am thankful for this community and your stories of encouragement and struggle.
I am thankful for electricity! (My power is still out for a total of 5+ days now….)
I am thankful for warm showers when the electricity comes back on.
I am thankful for my family, AA, my sponsor, and sobriety!
I am grateful for good music, good friends, for the possibility of Holidays
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today and helping me remain clean and serene. I’m grateful for All my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I don’t have to like being put in the friend zone. I’m grateful I have been gifted the responsibility of keyholder, its one of my favorite positions. I can arrive as early as I want or stay late, as long as the location is flexible like that. Its a great place to meet with my sponsor or sponsee that is safe and neutral. I’m grateful my sister is doing well after her surgery Monday. I’m grateful when I visited her on Monday we didn’t fight while playing Monoploy or Scattergories. I’m grateful I bought myself a nice silver chain for my thirty days. A lille premature since one month is actually achieved in just under two hours. I am grateful for the twelve steps and the people who practice them.
God bless us all. &
p.s. Don’t give up before the miracle. Ya you!!
Thank you bootz and as someone who also deals with depression…i feel ya and hope you get a great nights sleep.
Today I am grateful I have the opportunity to just switch off from daily stressors just close the blinds and have some slow time out.
Grateful for Pyjamas and electric blankets.
Grateful I recognise that today maybe I actually just need to do nothing.
Good morning all,
Im grateful to be up way to early for work, but I woke up naturally and I feel pretty good. Im grateful I have time to make a good lunch, sip some coffee in my rocking chair, and find my gratitude. Im grateful I feel more peaceful this week. Im grateful I have next week off, and I’m excited to make productive plans. Im grateful to see the milestones on here, it’s nice to be able to share our joy and accomplishment with people who truly understand what it takes to get those days. Im grateful for my family, and for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Today I’m grateful I shared a milestone in a different thread:
I was introduced to someone and said for the first time: “I don’t drink”
So…all it took was almost a year working on it one day at a time and the support from this amazing community🥰
Much love to you all
Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober. While I’m still struggling with depression, my anxiety is a lot better since getting sober.
I’m grateful for my cats and that they are all healthy.
I’m grateful my basic needs are met: a place to live, enough food to eat, a reliable car. And I have a job that pays the bills.
I’m grateful for this community and how supportive everyone is if each other.
I’m grateful for small steps in the right direction.
I’m grateful I was open to and up for a spontaneous night out with my man and a couple of his friends I’m still getting to know, and that it was fun! A local place has a sort of weekly pinball tournament and the BFs buddy asked if he wanted to join this week, and he asked what I thought and I was like yeah let’s do it! I drove separately, brought my crochet project, and parked myself at a table so they could come hang out with me in between games. I managed my anxiety utterly and constructively, and it was fun. It was a late night for me, but I was happy I went and happy I made the effort to get out and participate in things outside the house with my bf and his friends. It’s easy for me to stay home in my blankets covered in dogs but it’s also important for me to do other things sometimes too. Hooray!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for expressing my feelings. They might be impulsive at first sight but the point is that I get them out and can continue in a good way with the person instead of eating it up and being resentful forever. One achievement of sobriety. Still ongoing.
I am grateful I checked some points off my list.
I am grateful I like my work.
I am grateful I can say this and still dislike some things at work. Grey. Not all black or white.
I am grateful winter is over. My definition
I am grateful that in 2 weeks I have a week of vacation.
I am grateful I took some rest days.
I am grateful I have enough.
