I’m grateful for hope and that we get a brand new day every 24 hours. I’m grateful for awakenings and evolution and our ability to change. I’m grateful for this app! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Thursday.
I’m grateful in learning to say no!
Today I’m grateful for this special feeling of contentment and peace again. I listened closely, it’s not serenity.
It’s a very old feeling, maybe before my teen-years started. I was a shy child and horribly anxious around people I did not know. My parents did neither understand nor care about it, they were peoply people. Back then I was perfectly happy to be at home, cuddled up in my room or on the couch, read or played on my game & watch consoles (the generation of little hand-held games before the gameboy), my barbie dolls or my guinea pigs. I felt happy and safe and wanted to stay inside forever (had very diverse feelings about going to school and hated most of the fellow children there, they were mean).
I love this feeling, it is so pure and innocent. And I had lost it years ago between a worsening relationship and the attitude to live my life as I had planed it (geezzzz, what a bullshit idea, the universe is still laughing).
I’m grateful I had court appointment today which didn’t get on my nerves too much, I’m grateful for the laughter with my lawyer. I’m grateful I went home enjoying the beautiful weather. And when I got home I was in this special mood and I’m happy with it since. It’s an ordinary day with ordinary tasks and I’m feeling fine about everything and everyone including myself
I am grateful i could locate my sadness that caused my tears. It was all so mixed up in my head. Now I see clearer. I need to step away seeking people understanding me. I need to understand me which is difficult in its own. I am grateful I can feel anger and it is raw and it feels better than mixed up with sadness.
I am grateful I managed to go for a short run.
I am grateful to be sober. Otherwise I’d be sitting here, drunk.
I am grateful to be tired. I admit I am back to caffeine and I sleep like a baby. So be it.
I am grateful I have enough.
Hi Sober Fam!
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m still feeling and having a hard time staying focused on anything (I was in the middle of something at work, now I’m here). I went to Mariano’s again today, 3rd day in a row, but didn’t buy another orchid. But like the 1st 2 days, I bought food from the hot bar. I’m one person with enough to feed a dozen people. I think I’m realizing what I’m doing. I know I haven’t been eating healthy in forever, don’t have the energy to cook, so I’m overcompensating with hot bar food.
I do this with everything, enough is never enough when I’m sad. I’m grateful I’m trying to understand to repair myself.
I’m grateful for my job, and I want to be productive, I need to snap out of this funk.
I’m grateful for Velcro Bud (he’s my dog Buddy that follows me everywhere and has to be touching me when next to me)
I’m grateful I’m sober.
Morning gratitude. I got up when the alarm went off. After an ok sleep and no nightmares. I’m really grateful for both . I’m grateful the first chores are already done, the cats are fed, I had tea, I meditated, the house is aired (I love the chill air in the morning) and I’m taking a break with Missi on my chest. I’m grateful the joyous mood made it through the night and is still there. I’m grateful I feel deeply content and grateful for life this morning. Whatever will come along the way, just for this morning I feel good, happy, I smile and cuddle my purring cat, I feel serene
Grateful for sunshine…for taking the time to meditate after a long time not doing it.
Grateful to pause and assess why I’m angry, lately. Grateful I realize that lashing out is not the answer and I need a betfer way to feel those feelings.
Grateful for my family. Even when they aggravate me, I love them more than anything
Love your post So happy for your tranquility!
Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful my usual morning headache is getting better for now.
I’m grateful I got the results of my bloodwork back and it’s a wake up call that I need to get serious about healthy eating and e exercise. The results were not good, but also not unexpected. I’m significantly overweight.
I’m grateful I like oatmeal so enjoyed a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and blueberries. And grateful that I already drink my coffee black.
I’m grateful it’s Friday. No big plans for the weekend but I need the rest and relaxation.
Grateful for all of you! ODAAT

I’m grateful to work on OFDAAT I’m grateful to be able to work on trips in the future. I’m grateful the real life shit has to stay in the ODAAT
I’m grateful I got a bunch of catching up to do on here. I’m grateful I don’t stress about it. I’m grateful it’s like having gratitude in the bank and I can withdraw from it later if I like or need to. I’m grateful for this thread and all the shares of gratitude. We got so much to be thankful for when we are sober.
I’m grateful for my troubles.
Oh, a trouble’s a ton, or a trouble’s an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt that counts, But only how you take it.

I’m grateful my head hit the pillow sober last night, so even though I woke up several times, I was able to get up and sweat through an early morning spin class.
I’m grateful there was still a cup of coffee left to drink afterwards.
I’m grateful it is not raining so my golf game will be dry, though a bit chilly.
I’m grateful my Women’s Bball team is going to win their first round this afternoon!
Take care all!
Holy shit, its March 17th. A year ago i got high for the last time. Im so grateful for 365 days of rollercoaster rides. Im so grateful the sun is shining today because i am walking where i need to go today and the next little while because this car is proving challenging to fx. Im grateful that i was hit by a giant wave of really big feelings yesterday when i learned that i wasnt getting my car back and im grateful that i took some time to process the disappointment and then reached out to friends and my sponsor and started focusing on gratitude. My sponsor asked me to write a list of 10 things im grateful for in the midst of the shit storm and i thought shit, she doesnt know who shes dealing with, she dont know about me and my gratitude posse. But im grateful to have taken the time to focus on gratitude in a slightly different channel. Im very grateful for the ability to see beauty even when shit hurts. Im grateful to realize that in the past i struggled with thd natural yin and yang of life and in my head it was either all bad or all good. Im grateful to be able to identify and latch onto the good things during the shit storm.
Im grateful for the stregth to keep pushing, keep growing, keep moving forward. Im learning to accept obstacles and speed bumps for exactly that and am moving away from seeing them as an immovable, insurmountable brick wall.
I am grateful for the richness, experience, and color this last year has added to my character.
I am indescribably grateful to have my girls with me on this milestone. Im so grateful to be able to be present and to be their mother.
Im grateful that the regrets of my past seem to be waning and are being taken over by the moments of good that im accomplishing. Im grateful that the big pile of pain and misery that my life once was has peice by peice been transformed into a sculpture of goodness that has been intentionally set.
I am grateful to have a year of transformation under my belt and really grateful for the years of possibility that lie ahead of me.
Im grateful to all of you that have made this gratitude journey possible and so rewarding and fullfilling. Grateful for this community.
Grateful for one year clean!!!
I’m grateful things are coming up Jenny today after a bit of a rough morning! The librarians didn’t charge me a replacement fee for the book my puppy gnawed upon (librarians are the best) and I can leave work a little early today if I want! I’m grateful spring is just around the corner, I’m grateful a quiet weekend is just within view! Im grateful that I picked a stay at home, order pizza and snuggle while it snows outside night for date night last night, it was perfect. I’m grateful for many more date nights and snuggles in the future.
Congratulations on 1 year @Dakotahjae
Today I’m grateful the good mood stayed all day. I’m grateful I cuddled and snuggled the cats so much today. They were in bed with the fresh linen, Schimanski was the major office cat and I gave him a butt-cut, they all got brushed today, they shed a lot. I’m grateful I finished my late mum’s tax filing today. I’m grateful I did chores, enjoyed the yummi leftovers from yesterday, the kitchen is clean and the laundry is drying. I’m grateful for HALT, it saved me from picking up because I forgot the time while working and I was really hungry when I checked what’s wrong with me. The cats were hungry too.
I’m satisfied and content with the day, with the balance between working and relaxing, between fun and seriousness, between adulting and childlike happiness when playing with the cats. I’m grateful changes are around the corner, I got notice about upcoming appointments on the construction site and a training I’ve been waiting for a few months. Life goes on
Hi All,
I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful it’s Friday, I’m still at work (from my home) and I’m still struggling with concentration. My sleep was shit last night, worse than normal, and I way over slept again.
I’m frustrated, yet I don’t want to drink. A voice in my head yesterday told me if I did, I would feel better and sleep. I replied: Yes and no, I may feel better at the moment, but unless I continued 24/7 until I die, it’s not the answer.
I’m grateful for Buddy & Riley.
I’m grateful I’m not going anywhere today.
I’m grateful I have enough.
I’m grateful I’ve been sober for 18.5 days in a row.
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on one year!!!
Keep moving forward. I’m grateful to see this post.
