Today I am grateful for a restoratove night of sleep and not feeling the need to hit the snooze this morning. I am grateful to have walked with my friend yesterday even though I was having some back pain. It was like my inner voice said “go, it will help” and I felt better after instead of worse. I think it stretched and moved some muscles that needed it and perhaps the release that comes from talking with an authentic genuine friend was healing as well. I am grateful for a full day and for my client base continuing to grow. As silly as it sounds, the “mantra,” “just keep swimming…” has been more helpful than I could have ever imagined since striking out on my own. So I guess I’m grateful for Dory…
I am grateful for this forum and all of its amazing members.

I’m grateful to God please help guide me and help me remain clean and sober, just for today. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for sleep and then for waking. I’m grateful for my doctors. I’m grateful for service work. I’m grateful for my sponsor, grandsponsor and sponsee. I’m grateful for food, lots of food and coffee oh and warm showers.
May your higher power show you love.
p.s. You are awesome. Ya you!!
I’m grateful for this space to reflect and readjust my perspective when necessary. I was thinking now how I’m so grateful that every moment is a new opportunity to start again, since I didn’t meet my goals for this weekend, but then the more I thought about it the more I realized that I did every chore on my list and then some, and made time for myself to have a bubble bath and read and play video games and work on my granny squares so I should really just cool it a bit. So I didn’t practice running and some other things but I made a lot of progress in other areas and maybe that’s just how this weekend had to go, and I’m grateful for all the things I got done. I’m grateful for the reminder that I tend to find the one “imperfect” thing and pick and pick at it, and that with a bit of attention hopefully I can train myself to catch those tendencies and adjust my perspective.
Thank you as always for your kind support. You are so right and I am working hard to maintain healthy boundaries, which I know will be so helpful for my recovery.
I am grateful I don’t drink anymore.
I cried so much these last two days. I am grateful that exhaustion makes me sleepy.
I am grateful I finally found my way to the residence. It was a nightmare.
I am grateful I will get used to this shit hole. It smells and I don’t know what kind of smell. I hope I will get used to it for the next 88 days. Not that I am counting.
I am grateful I have internet here. I am grateful I have a fridge. I am grateful I have water although there is no warm water at the moment.
I am grateful I managed to drop off the car in Nice. I am grateful for Google maps and the voice talking me through it. It made me laugh as she pronounced it like in German 
I am grateful I found people to help me (parking the car and fasten some screws on my bike). I am grateful I was so desperate to ask for help instead of only crying. This won’t change anything in this particular situation.
I am grateful I had something better to eat than yesterday.
I am grateful for funny audiobooks.
I am grateful I live in Germany.
Wow. 
What a grateful day of ups and downs and getting things done and running out of time and meetings and podcasts and meditations, I don’t know where to begin.
I do know I’m grateful I had no idea what this day had in store for me. And I’m not done yet.
I’m grateful for the powerful Mantra meditation Om Mani Padme Hum. I literally cried through the entire 15 minutes this morning. I did not see that coming. I couldn’t do any other recovery work. Just wow 
I’m grateful for the second half of that Brené Brown podcast Living Big part 2. Thank you again so much @LAB I’ve already listened to part 2 twice today. I’m grateful to try and believe people are doing the best they can. I’m grateful if I can believe that then the idea of people changing is moot. Not quite how she put it. But I’m learning.
I’m grateful my son wants to put together a family baby meet and greet in Cali in June. I’m grateful I told him. “You put it together we’ll be there.” I’m grateful to feel the relief of excitement when we said yes.
I’m grateful I was about to stick my boundaries with wifey for lunch and she beat me too it. I’m grateful I didn’t say a fucking word. I’m grateful she’s doing the best she can. I’m grateful I’m doing the best I can.
I’m grateful for the shares on the meditation thread with Billy and Stella
I’m very grateful for all the new people joining in with fresh eyes of gratitude.
I’m grateful for desert spring flowers.
I’m grateful Minnie is doing ok.
I’m grateful my wife thinks Minnie is doing great!
I’m grateful I get to go to a meeting in a few minutes.
Byeeee!!
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”

I am grateful I got to ski today. It wasn’t too crowded. It was fairly warm. And the wind kept the clouds moving around so it was often sunny.
I am grateful that I was not completely thrown when I found a bottle of vodka and another of rum stashed among my bottles of oils/vinegars. Friends stay here when we aren’t here, and they think of this as a gift. I usually am thrilled! This morning I just shook my head.
I am grateful to have a basketball game to watch tonight so my mind is distracted away from the stupid bottles!
Take care all!
Coming in grateful.
I am so grateful for anciet practices that have been passed down through thousands of years. I am grateful I can breathe; that my breath can heal my body and my mind. I am grateful that I get to share my experiences with people and they become inspired to reach for tools like pranayama themselves. I am grateful my journey led me to Yoga Grace and that this month suddenly pranayama is being offered 3 times a week instead of once. I am grateful to feel the balance happening in my practice between body, mind and spirit.
I am grateful for the day I spent with my child yesterday. She is still having a rough time, I am awed by her willingness to try new things and be open with me. I am grateful for my program which has given me this deep level of compassion. This may sound terrible, but its my truth… when I was using I was so busy trying to defend myself because I felt so shameful and victimized that I could never hear the pain in other peoples words. I couldnt accept that I caused them pain, I did not want to hear it. I busied myself with making sure everyone was protected from me, in other words I pushed them away. I am grateful that today I can own my shit as hard as that can be and as much as it hurts to say most of the times. I was emotionally absent for my child when she was little and she remembers. I am grateful that when things come up, like her being insecure about something, we can look at it together and see where that stems from. I am grateful she is not afraid to tell me that its my fault from my past behavior but she isnt mad at me. I am grateful that while I sit with the sting of those words I hold myself with so much compassion, I say, " youre a great mom, you are so emotionally available now, yeah you can own up to that shit but its not who you are." I am grateful that I can reassure her that I have all the time in the world for her today and I am able to explain what was happening in my mind during those very dark days for us. You know… we are both so lucky to be alive. I am so grateful my beautiful child is alive today, and that I am too.
All the shadow work I am doing, all of this inner stuff that is allowing me to release and let go of the darkness inside me; its leaving me with so much room. I am grateful for the expanding openness I have growing inside me. I am grateful that when @Pandita shared I could feel them, literally. I am grateful that I am an empath and for the web of connectedness we have joining us all together.
I am grateful you are all here.
I think I have to take a break from here and posting my things. Don’t get them well.
I am grateful I don’t drink and I won’t drink.
Morning gratitude. I’m grateful for a sound sleep, I was really done yesterday. I’m grateful everything went fine yesterday, the greenhouse is deconstructed and waits for it’s final place well stored in the garden. I’m grateful for the competent and nice man who did the work and I helped a little bit. I’m grateful it did not rain yesterday because it was chill and windy. Plus rain it would have been hard to work outside.
I’m gratefull for yummi dinner at a friend yesterday. Eating together is so nice.
I’m grateful for cats sleeping on me and warming me, I’m still a bit cold from yesterday.
I don’t know if I’m grateful that I texted my ex yesterday. I needed to get some thoughts off my chest I’ve been chewing on for several days. This waiting and non-communication is gnawing on me and my nerves. Together with back pain and lots of work it makes me impatient and grumpy. As I know I can’t change it I have to find a way to cope better. I’m grateful for breath meditation and HALT, for healthy boundaries, for taking life one day at a time, for working on myself to be kind to myself, to let go, to pause, to live and work at my pace. Maybe this works: A gratitude a day keeps the grumpy away 
I’m grateful my family and I are healthy.
I’m grateful for my hubby and our relationship that can weather a lot of storms.
I’m grateful I have a job I enjoy and find meaningful - and that pays the bills.
I’m grateful for my kids, who are growing up fast and becoming good people.
I’m grateful with all of that I can face challenges. I have a clear mind, a good family, the means to support us, and good health.
I’m grateful I’ve had this small postcard on my wall since February 2020
What an awesome thread!
Im greatful for…
-a second chance at life
-an amazing supportive family
-this community
-breathing without wheezing
-feeling 80% better than i did a year ago

I’m really struggling with gratitude lately. Which means I probably really need it.
I’m grateful I remain sober despite bad days and pain. I know that drinking would just make everything worse. My sobriety is the one thing I feel sure about currently.
I’m grateful for a job I enjoy because of the people I work with and for. It pays the bills. They are expanding my job duties some which will make things more interesting and engaging. Grateful I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to go to therapy and doc appointments as needed. And take breaks when I need to.
I’m grateful for my apartment that is cozy with everything I need.
I’m grateful for my three cats and that they like to take turns on my lap. Or get on my desk while I work. They are so comforting.
I’m grateful for this community. I may not post a lot, but I’m here reading every day.
I’m grateful for baby steps, progress not perfection, and taking things ODAAT.
So much to be grateful for this first hour alive this morning.
1188 days AFAF!!
1187 days without a hangover.
Minnie woke up nicely.
A great nights sleep.
My pixie shot that I can add to the weak ass coffee I made by accident this morning.
All the silly gamble quail running around and chasing each other and pecking on ground on the tee box.
The Ol Burner couldn’t wait to get on my lap.
The dogs barking at the silly gamble quail running around way over there on the tee box.
My swimming pool doubles as a great big bird bath. It’s a great show.
The wind has died down but the air still looks like a hazy dust with a cloudless sunrise.
My yellow beanie and hoodie and blanket to keep me warm.
My fire in the fireplace.
I still have hot coffee.
The crazy sounds of the gamble quail.
The rhythmic soft gentle snoring of Minnie on the couch.
Smiling at Minnie, as she sniffs the steps she could use to get up on the couch, but decides to jump over them instead 
I’m grateful she’s still got it.
Shit…… I haven’t even been up an hour yet.
Grateful for my ice pack.
Grateful for this thread.
I’m grateful I’m doing the best I can.
Grateful 
Gratitude for the present moment and the fullness of life now is true
prosperity.

I’m grateful for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful I like my coworkers. I’m grateful for a podcast about being heard and making positive changes in the workplace. I’m grateful it gave me some ideas to try. Im grateful for my family, and that I meal prepped so I know they will have a good dinner. I’m grateful for this thread to check in on today.
Everyone have a wonderful day
Good morning beautiful souls. 
I am grateful to have a few minutes to dedicate to writing out my gratitude this morning. I have adopted a pen to paper gratitude practice on the side after having the image of Ems moms gratitude journals burned into my mind over the years. I love the idea of my kiddo having some of mine, so I have started hard copies. I am grateful for our community and the deeply personal things we share. 
I will be starting my first day of “readiness group” for eating disorder group therapy today, then tomorrow I start day one of ED focused DBT. I am grateful to be able to attend my 3rd round of DBT, and I am very interested in how they apply it to ED. I am grateful that for the next 4 weeks I will be in therapy twice a week, and then once a week for the following 6. I am so grateful that this is all happening at this moment, I am starting to slip into old habits because I am very uncomfortable with my weight gain. When I say the number out loud it doesnt sound obscene but when I see it or look at myself its a completely different story. I am grateful that I am not reacting like I used to, I am responding from a much calmer more curious place. It is still very uncomfortable and the intrusive thoughts are starting.
I am grateful that my kiddos Big Red Book arrived yesterday and that she is excited to go to her first ACA meeting next week. I am grateful that the teen Zoom group she will be attending is a step study, the universe answered her prayers.
I am grateful for God.
I’m grateful to wake up feeling good today, with a smile ready for my sweet puppies. I’m grateful to be loved and to have built a home and family that freely expresses it. I’m grateful for midnight snuggles, and I’m grateful to be Queen of the Puppies.
