I’m grateful for a good Saturday, with a bit of everything: naps, snuggles, chores, video games, bubble baths. I’m grateful to have plans with friends, although they’re not fully formed and it’s already today and that makes me uncomfortable. But that’s ok. I’m grateful this random blizzard snow is melting off fairly quickly and we can get on with spring. I’m grateful for my job, for food, for people to love and for puppies and for you.

I’m grateful 
Grateful I slept in.
Grateful when I woke up at 4:45 with a minor headache I took some Tylonol and saw Benson at the back door.
I’m grateful I went out with him for a dump and a whizzy. Well he took the dump and the whizzy 
I’m grateful when I thought the new carpet was in the clear Benson puked up on it. I’m grateful he did christen it 
17 hours in.
I’m grateful it was a very small grassy puke and easy to clean.
I’m grateful I love my pets more than a clean new carpet.
I’m grateful we didn’t wait for Minnie to die before we got new carpet. I’m grateful I can’t live that way.
I’m grateful to see Minnie with a big stretch first thing this morning. I’m grateful she warms my heart and starts my day with a smile.
I’m grateful for the bright red Cardinal on the tree out back.
I’m grateful I get to go now and get the dogs walked.

I am grateful to have woken up in my happy place. Didn’t sleep well at all, but it wasn’t because of drinking at 9000+ feet, but probably the altitude only, and, well, the snoring mass next to me 
I am grateful for beautiful blue skies.
I am grateful to have the day to myself to put the house back in order.
I am grateful there was coffee in the house this morning, and coffee on sale at the grocery when I finally made it there today.
Did I say I am grateful for coffee? 
Take care all!

I’m grateful to wake up with pain, but not due to drinking. 
I’m grateful I took Buddy & Riley to a new vet on Friday, my old one for Riley was too expensive and this one took wonderful care of Max. 
(Max is in heaven)
I’m grateful I paid my bills last night, and decided to look at my taxes, and completed them too! 
@Dazercat I get the rug thing, the majority of my floors are wood laminate, but the front room rug usually takes the vomit hit. 
I’m grateful Riley 
has a very loud, unusual noise prior to puking, it gives me around 15 secs to move her. Saturday she started on the couch, I grabbed her in time, but before I set her on the floor, she hurled mid air, Jackson Pollock would have been proud of her work! 
I’m grateful I love and adore Buddy and Riley. 
I’m grateful I’m sober. 
Up early this morning and caught this:

I’m happy @desert_rose has reached one year 
Congratulations!
I’m happy @Dazercat is in the dessert again and Benson christened the new carpet within the first 24 hours. I should have placed a bet 
Today I’m grateful for a beautiful Palm Sunday. I slept in after waking up too early and turning around again in bed. I’m grateful for the home-show “the cat and the bean”, Schimanski made me burst out in laughter freaking out with a bean. I’m grateful I did all planned garden work and I’m happy with the result. I’m grateful for Palm Sunday mass on TV, I was not in the mood to attend it in real life with many real people. I’m grateful I have a choice 
I’m grateful a dear friend invited me for lunch, it was delicious and we enjoyed talking. I’m grateful for falling asleep while reading in the afternoon. I’m grateful for a long nap accompanied by cats.
I’m grateful for this good day. To honor it I put my sober head and my grateful heart to sleep now in my cozy bed with my snuggling cats. Life can be good

It was cheesecake day!
Thank you so much, Eric…I don’t think I ever said this, but the gratitude thread caught my eye last year because the current one at that time started on my birthday…I was about one month into sobriety. Call ot serendipity, but that was when I decided to make it my cozy corner. Thank you for always keeping the lights on and the kettle on the stove
You and this amazing grati-tribe made/make an incredible difference in my life…always know that there is someone on the other side of the world incredibly grateful for all of you!

Good afternoon all, I’m grateful for a nice weekend. I’m grateful the driving sessions with my son have been getting better, and we are enjoying it more than at the beginning. I’m grateful for sunshine, flowers, and green leaves against a blue sky. I’m grateful for ice water in a mason jar, it tastes better that way. I’m grateful for all of the everyday things we mention here. It reminds me that there doesn’t have to be a special event happening to think of gratitude.
Everyone have a wonderful day

I’m grateful for bed, which I’ll soon tumble into.
I’m grateful the hellish month of March came to an end. I’m grateful I caught myself, at times, realizing I had not even thought of drinking despite it all. Who knew?
There was a day or two in there when I knew my reflex in the before times was/would have been to drink, and I’m grateful I know that drinking would truly be to bring on hell.
I’m grateful for long, and short (she’s getting older) walks with the dog girl, for her fine company. I’m grateful for my morning coffee and quiet routine. For wet snow today making everything moist. For fresh bedding. For recovery dharma. For this thread and for all of you.
I missed a bunch of 'em, but I’m grateful to know you are having and celebrating milestones! @desert_rose’s 1 year! And @Cjp’s 11 months! I’ve missed more, I know, but I’m grateful for how the milestone momentum can carry us all. Grateful to be coming up on 9 months.
I’m grateful for another day.

Ah, I’m so grateful to be thought of! It makes me smile how much I think of you all in the day-to-day. We have quite the special place. Grateful for it and you!
And I would have read and posted more, but it turns out screens don’t keep me awake!

This weekend I saw my ex boyfried off. He is moving back to his country. Seeing him get into the car and drive away quenched my heart in all the ways possible. Now what’s left is this overwhelming void and sadness. First impulse was, to numb it, so I won’t have to feel the heartache. But since I don’t do that anymore, I am going to try to turn it into gratitude, hoping, it will do the trick.
I am grateful for the time we spent together and all the manyfold happy memories we created in the meantime. I am grateful for the person I could be around him and the person he helped me to become. It felt good to be seen and accepted like this. The moment we met, I knew this is what love is supposed to feel like. Coming home at the end of a long journey. I am grateful for some reason, for some larger plan at work, he was put in may path of doom and despair, to help me love myself, when I could not. I am grateful he taught me that there is no true love without being vulnerable. I am grateful I can see the beauty in this now.
I am grateful when the moment was there, we accepted we could not make each other happy the way we wanted and deserved to be. Not as a couple. Who would have thought that love could not be enough to live happily ever after? Letting each other go that time three years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. I am grateful the love and the deep understanding of each other stayed and transformed. I am grateful we built something new over the years and connected in a different way. A way that we both benefit from. I just have to trust, that this connection will be strong enough for the next level – geographical distance and paths in life, that will naturally diverge a bit more.
I am grateful I recognize it’s mostly the change that’s causing my distress. I am grateful I am dealing with it. Sobbing and raw and tender, but sober. I am grateful I always have this place to turn to. It’s morning now, the sun came up and its a new day. I can already feel my heart being a little lighter. Thank you, for letting me share, grati-people

Morning
I’m grateful for another lovely sleep.
I’m grateful for the early dog walk, there was a crane sitting on the path in front of us which flew off as we got nearer, so graceful.
I’m grateful for a gorgeous spring morning, a tad frosty but lovely and warm in the sun, so nice to be out.
I’m grateful to be organised this morning so I don’t have to rush around.
Grateful to add another day to my sober stack, it feels good
