Good morning sober fam,
Im so very greatful for…
My sobriety, somewhere around 10.5 months
Time with the hubby yesterday
We watched all quiet on the western front
Boscoe my cuddle buddy
Working from my couch today
Remote check deposits, when they work
Sunshine
Progress not perfection
I’m grateful 
I’m grateful to actively turn my will and my life over to the care of God. All is well. I’m grateful to let God go first. I’m grateful to ask God for “Help.”
I’m grateful for an excellent nights sleep even though I woke up with a headache. Need more water. I’m grateful I got Benson off to the vet for his dental. I’m grateful wifey was able to feed everyone.
I’m grateful I really got to take it ODAAT as wifey is doing a 1 week challenge on her app. I’m grateful I don’t fucking get it!! I’m grateful after halfway through me asking wondering why ………. I realized it’s her journey. I’m grateful I realized I cannot approach her one week challenge from my sobriety point of view.
I’m grateful it’s something.
I’m grateful I can have compassion for her struggle. Of course I’m thinking what are you going to do after the week is up? And I get right on to OFDAAT Eric. OFDAAT! I’m grateful today it doesn’t fucking matter what she does in a week.
I’m grateful I can ask God for help. I’m so grateful to be able to surrender to what might happen in the future. I’m grateful we got 2 trips planned and they are both in a God’s hands. I’m grateful I’m going to have a good time.
I’m grateful Minnie’s blood work was good again. I’m grateful we all agree we keep the old dog girl comfortable and manage her arthritis pain, Cushing’s disease, doggy Alzheimer’s and anxiety and restlessness the best we can with the meds that seem to be working. I’m grateful she looks good today. I’m grateful she looks great and is waiting for her walk without her side kick.
I’m grateful it’s cold but the sun is shining.
I’m grateful I got a meeting tonight.
I’m grateful for y’all.

I’m grateful that,
I got home in one piece, heavy nor’easter here, plows either not plowing or can’t keep up. I had no choice but to drive so I’m glad I drove like a granny & got home fine.
I attended my morning meeting from the car dealership lol, had to get routine stuff done for my road trip & car is in perfect health.
I got through that daylong, in my face craving the other day without giving in. Called on the angel of addiction (I found out about her in a Medical Medium book - you must be sincere in asking for help & also ask out loud, a whisper is ok). Man, I got some tough love in response but it made me stop obsessing and I didn’t drink.
10 days today 
Doggy daycare reported back that one of my dogs has had lighter energy lately and is playing more with other dogs. That makes me very happy 
Hi Karen, you wrote something I didn’t realize. I too struggle with depression, I take meds for it. I take care of my cat and dog, with special foods, medicine & Riley’s high calorie gel, but when it comes to myself I struggle. Taking a shower is a huge chore, I didn’t know why I became so lazy, never was before. That makes me understand it a bit more, and maybe it will help me. Congratulations on your day, I get it.
Hi Sober Fam!
I’m grateful today even tho I struggled to wake up again, I’m trying to stay positive. 
I’m grateful my car is still running ok, and I drove 
to Mariano’s for a few things, and picked up an orchid.
I’m grateful no matter how long I’m gone, Buddy is over the moon excited to see me! 
I’m grateful for Buddy and Riley 
in my life, and Riley looks like she may be a couple ounces heavier, I will weigh her later.
I’m grateful stupid little stuff like emojis amuse me. 
I’m grateful I’m sober. 
I am grateful I slept fine last night.
I am grateful I can vent at work with my colleagues for the current process of me being sent to France. I am in no good head space.
I am grateful drinking is out of the equation.
I am grateful I found my mandala colouring book again.
I am hopefully that the storm will cease and I can hop on my bike on the weekend.
I am grateful I managed to do a workout.
I am grateful I could vent here and found someone listening. Very grateful for this.
I am grateful my mother is busy in her retirement. That’s a great relief.
I am grateful I have enough.
Congratulations on reaching double digits Hoss.
Grateful you’re here
Hi Maxine,
I’m sorry you are struggling with depression too. I have to reframe my thoughts to avoid beating myself up. We aren’t lazy. We have an illness. I try to celebrate small wins like showering. And taking care of our beloved pets. They make sure I get out of bed every morning. 
Thank you friend.
Too much to catch up. I’m awake way to early. I’m grateful it doesn’t matter. I’m grateful for the old boy purring on my chest. I’m grateful I still think about the court session I attended. I’m grateful I talked about it in therapy yesterday. About how precious freedom is. About how grateful I am for being able to do what I want. For not living in a prison cell. That I’m grateful for therapy.
I’m grateful for the season kick off meeting yesterday. It was nice to see the fellow gardeners and talk about this year’s plans and difficulties in the past.
I’m grateful I can turn around in my cozy bed and try to catch some more sleep. 3 am is way too early to get up.
I’m grateful my higher power helped me remain abstinent from my many addictions today. I’m grateful for my friends which includes all you grati-dudes. I’m grateful for my parents and sister and that we had a nice visit and lunch together. I’m grateful I went to two A.A. meetings, one C.A. meeting and a recovery support group today. I’m grateful my sponsor and I sat down and worked some more on my fourth step. I’m grateful I cooked two meals today, breakfast and dinner and that they were pretty darn good. I never cooked in the before times, actually I barely ate at all. I’m grateful that I have almost completely changed what I drink, eat, read, watch, listen too, places I go and the people I surround myself with. I’m grateful I work on coming from a place of love and positivity. I’m grateful for prayer, meditation and the twelve steps.
May your higher power bring you happiness. 
&
p.s. I still gotta work on the swearing(progress not perfection) @Soberbilly @Dazercat but you all fucking rock. Ya you!!
Who knows!? I’ll keep you posted about what’s up with the farm and the ex. Nothing new meanwhile. I’m a quiet person so you might not be attrackted to me as friend in real life 
Why is the henhouse vacant?
Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful I slept a little better despite some disturbing dreams. It was easier to get up this morning.
I’m grateful I have a doctors appointment today for my annual checkup and blood work. I can address the insomnia and fatigue. I’m glad I can report to him that I’ve been sober more than 2 months. I have horrible anxiety around getting blood drawn, but thankful for breathing and grounding techniques to help me get through it.
I’m grateful for central heating, warm clothes and warm jackets since we are having another cold spell. Waiting for spring.
I’m grateful I managed to cook dinner last night. I enjoy cooking but most nights don’t have the energy or motivation.
I’m grateful that while the depression is still a problem, it’s not as bad as it has been at times in the past. I’m not thinking about death. I see hope for the future. I can recognize when I’m struggling and go easy on myself.

I’m grateful for my higher power and pray for help to be better today than I was yesterday and to abstain from all my addictions. I’m grateful for the sun that lights and heats my apartment in the mornings, and brightens my mood often as well.
Theres more, save it for later.
God bless us all. &
p.s. May the force be with you. Ya you!!
I definitely need to start practicing some gratitude in my day to day, so here it goes.
And I’m grateful for hot lemon water. No, I still don’t get the bloody point of it. I don’t understand why it has to be hot. I’m not even a big fan of the taste. But… I haven’t touched alcohol or allowed myself to crave it since starting the daily hot lemon water habit. Coincidence? I think not!
I’m grateful to be finally hopefully coming out of the fog from the combination of an anxiety hangover and the time change. I’m grateful my friends came and stayed with us and found it restful, and I’m grateful we got the whole gang together to laugh and talk for hours. I’m grateful my brother visited for a puppy play date, and that he’s asked us to watch his little guy while he’s busy doing groomsman stuff in a couple weeks. I’m glad I finally made it to the bus stop on time this morning, and had a nice chat with the bus driver when I boarded. He’s like I always see you running, and we’re all getting our new schedules tomorrow so it will be a different driver instead of me who might get here a little earlier-- hahahaha good looking out buddy. I laughed and assured him I’d get my life together, someday. I’m grateful I made it to 6 months this weekend and even with all the stress I never wanted to drink, and never want to ever again.
I’m grateful to finally getting around to my gratitude list this morning. I’m grateful I been screwing around with some other recovery stuff and meditation and some fluff.
I’m grateful to turn my life and my will over to the care of God. All is well. All is great!
I’m grateful I got a roof over my head. Especially in this cold rain that’s melting all the snow.
I’m grateful for central heat.
I’m grateful for my fireplace.
I’m grateful I got food in the house.
I’m grateful I can decide to go out to eat if I like.
I’m grateful I don’t have to do shit today if I don’t want to. I’m grateful no matter what I will walk the dogs and take care of my pet chores. But other than that I am grateful to embrace a cold, gray, gonna rain and drizzle all day, depressing kind of a day. I’m grateful to look forward to that.
I’m grateful I got a 3rd step meeting tonight.
I’m grateful Benson did well at the vet for his dental. They did have to pull 2 infected teeth 
and keep him under longer than they wanted too. But he did well. I’m grateful he’s already forgiven me for dumping him off yesterday. I’m grateful they said we could pick him up at 4 yesterday. And when they asked what time we’d get him……I’m grateful we could say 4. Poor guy. 
He looks pretty good today.
Im grateful when I wondered into the kitchen first thing this morning, the first thing I saw was Alice sitting in my inbox 
I literally have a snail mail wooden inbox with junk. And there she was just sitting in it waiting for me. I’m grateful when cats do new things like that. Great way to start the day with an inquisitive smile 
I’m grateful for you all. 
You need to feel the gratitude in order for it to be an effective tool.

I am grateful today for the gift of time off work right now, and the new career after a decade long other career comes to a peaceful end.
It provides me with:
Time to reflect
Time to make changes
Time to start over again
I am also grateful for the sunshine that has poked it’s head out after days of rain here in California.
I am grateful for the walk I got to take this morning after being able to wake up sober to enjoy watching my 13 yr old go on an early morning trip to San Francisco with his classmates.
I am grateful for this community and my weight watcher app community bc it makes me feel tied into something more important than what I was doing before TS.
I am grateful for knowing how to hold myself accountable more and more
And mostly grateful to be learning how to take it One Day AT A TIME!
