I hope you are ok. And yes, I can relate to the gratitude of knowing I don’t have to navigate driving drunk because I’m not drunk!!
Again, I hope you are ok.

Can’t we be grateful? I am coming home from my monthly women’s meeting which is so often feeling my heart. Grateful that despite a rather ugly reason why we are there together we can be there together and being honest and open and raw without being judged. When I think of non addiction circles where would you go?
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful to be home soon.
I am grateful for public transport.
I am grateful for yoga bringing more balance in my life.

I am grateful to have arrived early to yoga this morning and have some time to express gratitude from my mat. I am grateful to have gotten the back spot not “my” spot but this is “my” spot when the class is full. I am grateful to start today off with yoga practice.
I am grateful for my new daily meditation reading and how deeply it spoke to me this morning. It definitely has grounded me for what could be a challenging day.
I am grateful that I dont attach to political or controversial conversations. I spent many, many years fighting loudly, screaming to the world for justice. All it caused me was resentments and exhaustion… I am grateful I have found grace and that I understand now fighting gets me nowhere so instead I send love.
I am grateful that my life feels peaceful today, that I have found serenity, just for today.

Happy Birthday @Dazercat 
Today I’m grateful for another normal day. The therapy yesterday helped me a lot. But no way I’ll ever again make an appointment this late in winter when it’s dark and I normally head to bed at this time of the day. My sleep was muddled and I’m grateful I fell asleep again after doing cat chores in the morning.
I’m grateful I put away my late mum’s handbag after going through it. It now has a memory place in the bag cupboard. I’m grateful I cried, found loving memories and pictures, I could let go 
I’m grateful I did some chores which I’ve been procrastinating the last 2 weeks. Feels good.
I’m grateful Schimanski slept next to my legs. He is such a lovely big cutie, making fun all day. I’m grateful I heard Missi miowing in the guest room. Apparently she let herself lock in there to steal some treats when I grabbed it 
I’m grateful my ears are still good.
I’m grateful for the little things in life.

I am grateful to my wife, for support me and overtake my bad moments. I have been a very bad husband.

I am grateful to my AA community for being always there.

I’m grateful I let myself be slow yesterday and today. Grateful it is the weekend.
Grateful for the kind words from you here about the sad event this week - thank you @Soberbilly and sweet @Twizzlers and @Bootz. (I almost live in a cabin in the woods! I’ll explain in longer derailment later, lol.)
Grateful that yesterday my phone was busy with people who knew nothing about the sad event, just checking in. I was grumbly about the ding-dinging at first but then I felt surrounded by love and support and laughter.
Grateful that I now know how important these things are. That my legacy and what I leave behind is made up of micro-moments. A kind word here, a smile there. Sometimes even just quiet compassion. Grateful for all of those extended to me. Grateful that I can choose to extend same.
@EFountains… Like Bootz said. My sweet Mama has Alzheimer’s too, and when I visit her now it’s touch-and-go if she knows who I am, or anything about me. So, I visit the person she now is in body and mind, and we talk about whatever she wants to, but I also - when holding her hand, silently talk to the person she was (and still is, I believe) in her soul. I tell her I’m grateful for her too, and I’ve told her I won’t drink when it is her time to go, and I tell you this - it feels like she understands, and that she believes in me. 
I’m grateful for all of you, for the belonging that our recovery shared creates. Yeah, @anon74766472, I sometimes wonder how normies cope without this! 
I’m grateful for another day.

Thank you for your words. I also feel my mother’s love when I al with her. I also believe she is happy because I am not going to drink anymore.
It is hard this disease, Alzheimer, but as the Holy Gospel says “ This disease is not for death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”, John 11,4. In this case, I do not know if I am going to be glorified, but surely my mother’s circumstances have made discover that I am an alcoholic, and the only solution to this is not to drink.
Sometimes bad moments are the milestones we need to start a new life.
Kind regards.
