I made it through the day without napping. I’m grateful I’m tired as fuck and will be in bed soon. I’m grateful for my sweet snuggling cats, the sunshine of my life. I’m grateful for shiatsu therapy today, I feel good and relaxed. I’m grateful I lazed around in the afternoon after the therapy, had yummi leftovers and relaxed. I’m grateful for my cozy home, for living and doing at my pace, for caring for myself again. I’m grateful I feel content. I’m grateful I feel safe. I’m grateful I’m free. I’m grateful for office @ home, washing machines, dishwashers, microwaves, electric kettles, fridges, PCs, mobile phones which substitute a dozen older items … I’m grateful for the comfort all these things bring me
I’ve been struggling the past couple days, not because I want to drink, I can’t concentrate on anything, including my remote job. I bought an Orchid yesterday, then went back today and bought another. They’re on sale for $12. That’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. (That’s my justification ).
I’m grateful for Velcro Bud , and Riley . Riley now taps me when she wants something, if I’m still working, she will start tapping my shoulder & won’t stop, almost like she’s digging. She’s done that before when trying to wake me up.
I’m grateful for my home.
I’m grateful I have food to eat.
I’m grateful I have everything I need.
I’m grateful I even have a few things I wanted.
I’m grateful I’m aware of my blueness and trying to get out.
Love the orchids. They are so pretty. I always wanted some but afraid I’d kill them. And with 4 cats, chances are one of them would get into it.
I been feeling blue the past few days too. Im trying to be grateful I’m feeling it. Letting it just be. And know it will definitely pass.
This weather probably isn’t helping.
Let’s hang in there.
Love the “Velcro Bud” too
Hi Eric, I always wanted an Orchid but was afraid that I’d kill it too, so we’ll see. Riley doesn’t get into any plants, never has, so I’m lucky with that. These orchids are called Phalaenopsis or Moth Orchid. They are the hardiest and best for beginners and come in a lot of colors. Don’t do the ice cube watering though, even though it’s on the internet. Plant people say not the way to go.
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through this day and helping me refrain from all my addictions. I’m grateful its over it was a super stressful day and I hope I can sleep.
Dear Universe, Mother Nature God, Collective Concious, whatever it takes, please help me rest good tonight and not have crazy dreams, which has been known to happen after highly stressful days. Allow me to take it easy on myself. Show me how to relax again as I haven’t been able to just slow down, even when I have been attempting too I keep loading more on my plate.
God bless us all. &
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for time off of work. I’m grateful I was able to help my mom get my Granny moved back into her own apartment yesterday. I’m grateful it was a lot of work, but better when it’s divided by 2 people. I’m grateful we even had some laughs. I’m grateful for all the tools I’ve learned on this forum, and from the quit lit and podcasts. I’m grateful so much of it applies to everyday life also. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Grateful for the pre recorded fitness classes the gym had on the booking app.
Grateful using it this morning and not giving up.
Grateful for the rain but also grateful for the little gap in-between so I can go for a walk.
Grateful wearing myself out daily really is helping me in so many ways.
Grateful I might lose some weight in the process.
Grateful for God and angels.
Grateful my mind seems to be in a stable place.
I’m grateful the headache I woke up with is getting better. It stems from neck pain and stiffness. I need to get back to doing my PT exercises.
I’m grateful for my cats who take turns curling up in my lap. Love them so much!
I’m grateful for my job and how supportive everyone has been. And grateful to be able to keep up with things now.
I’m grateful to have health insurance even though I’m annoyed at them right now. They did approve all my time in the IOP. There was a time in my past I couldn’t afford treatment because my insurance didn’t cover it. That was a horrible time.
I’m grateful my therapist will be back from vacation and I have an appointment next week. I’m not sure if he’s the best fit for me, but he accepts insurance so I’ll give him a decent try.
I’m grateful I come here a couple times a day and read everyone’s advice about the struggles we all go through. And I’m grateful it’s such a diverse community with differing approaches to sobriety. I believe there is no “one size fits all” approach.
Good morning darlings! It is a gray and sleepy day here, but I’m excited to have a probably fun day at work. We’re having a St Patrick’s day happy hour event at work, and I’m grateful to be sober and not worry about doing some dumb s***, and I’m grateful to not even feel like I’m tempted. Event days mean there will actually be people in the office, and that means a lot of people for me to chat to and laugh with so that should brighten things up a bit. I’m grateful our gym manager who teaches the group fitness classes is pushing me to use heavier weights, it’s harder but I already feel like I’m getting stronger as a result, and I’m proud of myself for doing the hard work. I’m grateful it’s my turn to pick date night, so I can pick a place with some healthier options and hopefully not negate any progress I’ve made so far this week with my healthy fitness what-have-you. I’m grateful for a quiet morning and I’m grateful that I look forward to my days.

Baby steps to accepting gratitude-
I am grateful I set up the coffee last night
I am grateful my chocolate “moments” yesterday did not show up on the scale this morning
I am grateful for a better night’s sleep than my average of late
I am grateful to be retired and have the time for daily activity that I choose
I am most grateful I can write this sober this morning
Enjoy your Thursdays all
I’m grateful to God thank you for the decent rest. Please help me remain free from active addiction while following your will, just for today.
I’m grateful for the courage to dig deep when I do fourth steps and attend grief groups. I’m grateful I can ask for help, let things go and give it to God so I can recharge. I’m grateful for warm showers followed by coffee accompanied by sunshine. I’m grateful I can read and write. I’m grateful and blessed to be able to afford cellphones, t.v. and books, laptop even laundry and grocery money. I’m grateful for the food banks and the people that volunteer there. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for family and friends.
God bless us all. &
p.s. I’m grateful for all you grati-dudes, you rock. Ya you!!
I’m mostly a silent lurker, chime in every once in a blue moon…
But I wanted to express my gratitude towards the app and everyone on here.
The first anniversary of my dads passing came and went this weekend… that’s also when I briefly relapsed last year. I really think without this app, and all of y’all’s stories/vulnerabilities I would have had to reset again.
Reading over and over again, from sooo many people the constant reminder that numbing your feelings doesn’t make them go away has been huge for me this past 297 days.
So as I approach my 10th month, going through some really sad shit, I say THANK YOU to all of you
I’m grateful every time I open this app I see a picture of my son, so full of happiness holding my smiling granddaughter.
I’m grateful I did a great sleep meditation last night but woke up all excited at 4 am about my trip to London, and like a little kid couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m grateful for the 3 hours of quiet time I’ve already had. I’m grateful we’ll be staying at the Savoy where I use to work back in 78/79. And grateful I’ll get to see my old friend Julie. I’m grateful I got my shows booked. I’m grateful it’s all in Gods hands now. I’m grateful we can do this for our 40th anniversary this spring even though our anniversary isn’t until June. I’m grateful it will be so different than our honeymoon in London and to Lands End 40 years ago. I’m grateful I can make some before and after pics of us 40 years later.
I’m grateful some of the rain turned into a light dusting of snow last night but no accumulation. I’m grateful it might be clearing up.
I’m grateful for my Al-Anon meetings.
I’m grateful no one minded eating early this morning. I’m grateful we were all quiet and didn’t wake the wife.
I’m grateful Benson seems fine after his teeth pulling and cleaning. I’m grateful to have the Ol Burner back.
I’m grateful for another day but absolutely no plans. Not even a meeting or an errand. Just pet stuff.
I’m grateful for you all.
Next time you have the opportunity to say “thank you,” don’t let it ring hollow. Embrace the gratitude; feel it as deeply as you can, because in so doing, you’re actually increasing the odds that in the future we’ll all have more for which to be grateful.
