Thanks everyone.
Just getting caught up.
I’m grateful for all the kind words, and you know I love a gif and a pic.
Love you guys.

Today I’m grateful for my partner. She works so hard in everything she does but it’s the little things that get me the most. Can be as simple as putting a bottle of sparkling water in the fridge because she knows I forget that stuff, then I want a soda open the fridge and it’s there. No matter how busy she is, she is always thinking of others.
I’m grateful she accepts me for who I am and that she took a risk on a recovering alcoholic and addict when she could have ran the other way when I told her on our second date.
She’s off to America for 3 weeks shortly and I can’t wait for her to come back with her travel stories and places she’s been. She’s worked so hard to save up for it, she truly deserves it, and I love it when people get things that they truly deserve

Today I’m grateful for my baseball team. Being a head baseball coach is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Today is my 14th day sober and as I ran my practice today and watched my guys work hard and enjoy themselves I saw that being their coach and helping these young guys find good things and work hard for what they want in life is worth a lifetime more than anything alcohol could ever offer me

Good morning!
Today I am grateful that I finally turned in my final for a dangling incomplete class last night. I am exhausted and pretty sure I failed it but hopefully pass the class (otherwise, I will get kicked out).
Grateful that I was sober and didn’t give up mid-way through, which is why it was late in the first place.
Grateful for coffee today. Five hours sleep and I are not friends.
Grateful for my lovely bed, regardless of hours clocked. Every bed should be adjustable (and more affordable).
Grateful that one of my fave meeting leaders will be on in five minutes.
Grateful for sober communities, especially those who react without judgement.
I am grateful for my kids and their health (and mine).
I am grateful for this day to be sober.
I am grateful for you.

Today I’m grateful for fluffy snow (and that my bf is in charge of snow and ice removal) and cozy sweaters. I’m grateful for me, for setting goals to improve my health and double-plus grateful for me for sticking to them and doing a good job. It’s been challenging at times but I’m glad it’s felt more like moving forward where sometimes implementing change can feel like a slog.

I’m grateful I got my chores done this morning and did my 8 minutes of meditation when I finally sat down with my coffee.
I’m grateful when my wife said she was very impressed with how calm I have been the past couple of days. Besides being grandpa again I’ve had plumbing issues, that could have been major. Window cleaners and car problems, meetings, and doctors appointments. And security alarm system failures. Being on hold forever….
I’m grateful I just said thank you. 
Appreciate that.
I’m grateful I didn’t go on to tell her IT’S BECAUSE IM SOBER!! AGAIN 
.
I’m grateful I can only hope, pray, and wish my wife figures that out someday.
I’m grateful to be proud of my daughter and SIL and Gus. I’m grateful my daughter called us yesterday.
I’m grateful my daughter with ED and Body issues has her body back. I think all that must have made it extra hard and highly anxious for her. I’m grateful I could recognize that when she was a bitch to us. And she was uncomfortable, in pain, a sleep deprived.
I’m grateful to be headed to Cali Saturday to meet the little buggar. I’m grateful my wife asked if I was nervous about it. She’s pretty anxious about it. And I’m like no. I don’t think so. I know how to tap in to God and my higher power and be able to do the right thing.
I’m grateful it feels so fucking cool to feel this way. I’m grateful it reminds me of going on a mission trip again. Not knowing what to expect and digging down deep and knowing. It will all be ok. And there’s not a drink in the world that will make me feel better or make things easier.
I’m grateful to be here.
Grateful for my blessings.
GRATITUDE is one of the most medicinal
emotions we can feel. It elevates our moods and
fills us with joy.

Good morning.
I am grateful for the shares at a meeting recently on the topic “forgiveness”. Acceptance and forgiveness go hand in hand. I am grateful for radical forgiveness, forgiving the core of a pain so that all of the other pains of life can fall away easily. I am grateful to have no need for pain in my life today so let go happily. Happily and easily, too easily? Im not sure, maybe something I need to look at.
I am grateful for the complete and utter aceptance that G is sick. Although he is clean he is amid an emotional relapse like no other. I am grateful to be an addict and know what it feels like to have that emotional bottom. I am grateful to be an addict and be able to relate to another addict who is suffering. I am grateful that although I know there is nothing to “discuss” I am trying not to be a closed off cold bitch to save my own feelings. Instead I am being openminded and open hearted and approaching everything from a place of love and dettachment.
Last night was hard for me but a big learning moment. I went to a restorative yoga class and G was there in MY SPOT!!! (I am a little inflexible that way… I am working on it) . So I put my mat beside him and then all I could do was hear his heavy fucking breathing the whole class and I wanted to smother him with a blanket. How spiritual is that??? I am grateful I had a very long 75 minute class to work on myself and what was happening inside me. I am very grateful that apparently I cant hide my feelings anymore and he sensed something was wrong. I was honest, in a much nicer way. I am grateful for my truth.
I am grateful to be heading to yoga now and I am looking forward to a practice with ny heart not my head.
I am grateful for you.

I’m grateful Stella’s post made me laugh 
I feel you with the “my spot” issue, similar here.
I’m grateful for another day on the couch with the cats. I’m grateful for deliberately doing nothing. I’m grateful I’m living alone, no ex nagging about me being lazy. I still feel stuck and grumpy on myself, my ex and the world. As long as I only grumble with myself it’s ok. No lashing out to others.
I’m grateful I’m a cuddle person. I miss to hug and cuddle my ex and my mum. I’m grateful my three cats love to hug and cuddle. I need more oxytocine in my body! Might be some mild seasonal depression that bothers me.
I’m grateful I go to bed now. Sober, tired from I don’t know what, still fighting the urge to call my ex. My need for connection and compassion will not be met there. I’m a smart lady. Smart people don’t go to the warehouse to buy milk. ODAAT

I’m so grateful for this thread, for being able to catch up on the hundreds of posts on and off this last busy week. I’m grateful for the abundance in this thread, in our lives.
But ugh, this is not the post I thought I would post. (I already posted about it on the check-in thread, which I rarely pop in on any more. But this is my home thread so I will share it here too.)
New neighbours moved into the condo beside me last weekend, a youngish couple. It’s a pretty quiet building. There was some hallway commotion this morning so I went to check. The fellow has died of a suspected overdose. I feel raw and grateful all at once.
I’m grateful we’re all here. Recovering. Raw at how precarious it all is and can be.
I’m grateful that wine seemed to be all around me this past busy week - too busy and too people-y - and I didn’t feel triggered.
Not at the best of the Banff Film Fest (an annual tradition that never disappoints) and the “thank our sponsors” ads for a vineyard.
Not at the long dinner out with a pal, when I was seated beside the wall that doubles as the wine cooler with thousands of bottles behind glass doors.
Not at my super fun Monday art class/studio time. The instructor is amazing. He told me I needed to sketch a new challenge and brought over an empty prosecco bottle (that was my drink). I burst out laughing. I’m grateful for the class, it stretches my creative muscles like a yoga class.
I’m grateful I took quiet breaks this week when I needed them. That is my reward. I used to pour a drink to compensate for a lack of time to myself. No more.
I’m grateful for my life. That I’m alive. That we all are. For baby Gus and the life ahead of him. For hope and detachment alike.
I’m grateful for another day.

Grateful I’m trying to catch up and saw this beautiful news…Congratulations on the arrival of baby Gus, @Dazercat! My heart is incredibly full to hear about your journey as a sober grandpa, noticing the most beautiful moments in your life, handling the difficult ones as they come, and showing your appreciation and gratitude for life every day…your grandchildren are lucky to have a grandpa with so much love to share
