Today I’m grateful for therapy. I talked about feeling there’s an abyss behind me and I’m steadily walking on the edge of a nervous breakdown. It scares me. I am content with my life atm and going step by step in the right direction. I have to wait and look forward what life will bring. I have to be on the watch, the abyss is behind me but I’m not away safe yet, I still can stumble and fall. Only when I turn backwards. My codependent habits and thoughts are running wild these days. Memories of good times hurting me. Easter and my birthday coming up feels so horribly lonely. I have lovely friends and chosen family where I find togetherness and where I am welcome and loved. But the people I love most, my little family, is not there anymore. Mum is dead and ex doesn’t care shit about me and my feelings. I sometimes don’t know if I wallow in self-pity or if this is the normal process of grieving.
I’m grateful for a relaxing day and cat love. I’m grateful I don’t answer the phone when I don’t want to. Healthy boundaries. Today I’m not in the mood to talk to someone who calls once a year. This is not friendship anymore. Just someone from school. I’m grateful for still being in loose contact with people from school.
I’m grateful nobody is nagging or stressing me at home. Only lovely purring curious cats
Yes indeed, this possibly contributes to me being overly sensitive and emotional. Thank you for this perspective. Doubling my prayers might help to calm down
Coming in with some gratitude as I wait for my therapy session to start. I am having some feelings of fear starting to overwhelm me. My mind is telling me I can’t do this, that I don’t want this but I know that is just the wounded part of me wanting to protect me from all of my past pains. I am grateful I do not live in my past, I am grateful that even though I feel nauseated with fear right now my heart is full of faith and it is keeping me sitting in my computer chair. I am grateful that I feel safe in my own home and that I did not have to go to the hospital to participate in this group. I am grateful that I trust myself today and that I know if it gets too much I will excuse myself and try again next week. I am grateful that I don’t have to run away anymore, and that I have found better ways to respond when I am uncomfortable. I am grateful that gratitude is one of those ways, and it’s the first thing that comes to mind when I am super sad or really scared. I am grateful that drinking isn’t on my mind, and that cutting isn’t on my mind. I am grateful for this thread.
Im greatful for flexible work time
Im greatful Boscoe and I got out for a walk today
Im greatful for a cool breeze and sunshine
Im greatful the grass is turning green
When we say a prayer for those who are sick and suffering from addiction i envision a light like this and pray people find the open mindedness to give the AA program a chance because i found a miracle in the rooms and i want others to know that they dont have to suffer alone
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through another day clean and sober. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
God bless us all. &
Morning gratitude. I’m grateful I am adulting and it is ok. Today seems to be a weird day, so I’ll take it easy. I’m grateful another item ticked off the to-do-list for this year.
Today I am grateful in advance for a sober day ahead, but I’m working to focus on 1 hour at a time. I am grateful for this forum, meetings, and the new recovery book I started listening to yesterday. I am grateful for the new clients coming along this week and for the part time job I was offered yesterday in a role I’ve wanted to explore for so long. It’s like turning a hobby into a job and I am thrilled. I am grateful for all of you and your experience, strength and hope. I am grateful for my pups and kittties (maybe not as grateful for the litter box I have to clean this morning…but perhaps thats what keeps me from becoming the cat lady ) Have a great 24!
Good morning… today im thankful for another opportunity. Another day to live. Another day to try to get it right. Im thankful that at some point today i will hit my 60 days of sobriety. Im thankful for this app and the oh so supportive community. Im thankful i was sober yesterday when i got the news that i have a 15 year old daughter whos mother just passed away and is now seeking a relationship with me. Im so thankful to just be alive and actually living!!! Im greatful that i live less than a mile away from my place of peace, buckeye lake… its so beautiful and peaceful. Im grateful that im finally understanding how to cope properly and handle my issues without relying on my DOC. im just thankful im where i am in my recovery and haven’t relapsed one time. Im thankful for the strength. Have a great day everyone!!! Below ive attached a picture from my walk around the lake last night, just beautiful!!!

I’m grateful to be on day 88 sober from alcohol.
I’m grateful the migraine I woke up with is finally easing up. I’m grateful I know what helps.
I’m grateful to be going to the dermatologist this afternoon since we have a family history of skin cancer.
I’m grateful I could do the at home screening for colon cancer instead of a colonoscopy. I’m at that age for all kinds of health screenings. I’m glad I’m taking care of all that.
I’m glad my bf went over to a friends house last night so I could have time to myself. I’m grateful I can recognize that I struggle with communication and boundaries and work to address those. I’m very insecure and fall into the thinking that no one could ever love me. I’m glad I’m in therapy. I’m working on challenging those negative thoughts. Baby steps.
I’m grateful that when I catch myself wanting a drink, I can quickly remind myself how much worse that would make me feel.
I’m grateful I scheduled a 90 minute massage for next week. I just started seeing a chiropractor and hoping that will start helping too. And I’ve started back doing the PT stretches I learned. I need to take better care of my body. It’s the only one I’ve got.
Afternoon gratitude. I’m grateful for more items ticked off the to do list. More adulting.
I’m grateful for food, snuggling and sunbathing cats, my cozy couch and a good rest. I’m grateful for my favourite series and a relaxing afternoon with it. I’m grateful I’ll have more delicious food a bit later.
rateful it’s quiet in the office today, feeling a bit off-kilter and short tempered today so I’m glad to have a little bit of space to get my shit together. I’m grateful to have some awareness of my own bs and to be able to do some evaluation in the moment so I know when I’m being an ass and I can keep it to myself for the most part. I’m grateful the bf has already made a plan for date night tonight and seems pretty excited, and I am excited to see what he’s come up with.
I’m grateful to be up really early with a busy travel adventure day week ahead. I’m grateful I get to pack and round up 6 pets and get them to the vet/boarding by 10. I’m grateful I got in my mantra meditation Om Mani Padme Hum. I’m grateful I smiled more than the few tears that came over me. I’m grateful for my meeting last night. I’m grateful I got to go.
