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.

I’m grateful for the snow we’ve gotten recently–even though it is cold, wet, and inconvenient–because I know it will bring about a much more lush and beautiful spring.

Evening gratitude. Today I’m grateful I’m already in bed sober, with my sleeping meds, looking forward to give a friend a ride to the train station tomorrow very early. I’m grateful that I can help people and that waking up sober never gets old

I’m grateful to God for taking control of my will and my life, just for today. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I have been going out on dates. I’m grateful that some have been good and some bad and I have stayed clean and sober. I’m grateful that when one of them moved, I can let it go, when someone doesn’t answer show up or ghosts me, it’s not my fault and I dont have to drink, smoke or use over it. I’m grateful I don’t need to date and don’t have to but if I want to I can, God willing. I’m grateful my sister is picking me up tomorrow morning for the third straight week we are heading to the local farmers market to shop. I’m grateful my grandspsonsor and I worked on my step four a bit today and made a plan to work step five next week. I’m grateful my sponsee has been in touch fairly consistently and is moving into a sober living home and got accepted to culinary school. I’m grateful to have a chance to reapply for school myself this fall.
I’m grateful my Moms birthday falls on Easter Sunday and I get to go spend time with her for that day. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful to be slowly writing out my story as a poem, spoken word or song, not sure yet how its going to end up, it’s a process and it’s not on the top of my priority list. I’m grateful once again for all of you.
May your higher power grant you Wisdom.
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe. Ya you!!

Today I am grateful for the physical challenges and hard work my new work presents. It forces me to take care of myself daily and especially nightly in order to be prepared and feel capable while working. In my old profession, it was way to easy to be hungover, or worse. Sitting for 8 hours staring at a screen at home was more than conducive for unhealthy living, including, for me, drinking. I am grateful for my clients and their wisdom. They remind me how precious life can be and that helping others is how I stay sober. I am grateful I don’t start until 930 today so I can mow the grass before work. I am grateful my Mom is having a good week and found a new hairdresser and possibly an additional driver for appointments, which equals much less stress. I am grateful for TS and all of you. Hope everyone has a very peaceful day.

Lunchtime gratitude. I’m grateful I was up on time to drive a friend to the train station. I’m grateful for the beautiful moon we enjoyed while driving through the silent city. It’s so peaceful and calm early in the morning when it’s still dark
I’m grateful I talked myself out of an emotional breakdown facing that I go to the farm and do some work with the help of my ex. It turned out that he left our conversation which was not ended for me, telling me we do the work now, he doesn’t want to talk (as always about emotional issues). I’m proud I took a few minutes to see how I felt about this behaviour. Then I went to the car and left. I felt hurt and for me his behaviour was mean. Instead of staying, waiting, going on with what I planned I decided that I had enough ex for today and the tractor & work will still be there tomorrow. When I got home I texted him that I was hurt and I feel he was mean and we try it again tomorrow. No emotional outbursts, no arguing, no nagging, no tears. Just the calm decision that this was enough for today for me. I’m grateful I did not fall into codependent patterns. I’m grateful I feel ok. I’m grateful I draw a boundary FOR MYSELF before my emotions went on a rollercoaster.
I’m grateful I told an old school mate that I don’t care what they plan on my birthday. I’m not in the mood to spend time with people who never call exept for a reason to party. My life is still a mess, my nerves are still wrecked allthogh I am content with the babysteps I take and how far they have taken me in the last 10 months. Everything in my life is still fragile, especially the coping with grief and feelings of loss in everyday’s life. I have no interest in meeting people who just want a reason to come together and drink prosecco, chatting about blablabla. They will survive a party not happening.
I’m grateful I had a yummi brunch and when posting it and chatting on the foodie thread I closed the thread! That’s the first time I hit the 2500st post and closed a thread automatically 
It might sound childish, but it made me smile. There are always first times, regardless how old you are

I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made, and I’m grateful for my sobriety. I’m grateful I had a fun night out with the BF and some friends that we haven’t seen in years and are people we used to drink with but I didn’t feel weird, I didn’t want to drink, and no one mentioned it or made a fuss. It was a lovely dinner at a fancy restaurant, and we got to laugh and catch up, and I ate a whole piece of chocolate cake so dense I think it was maybe just fudge lol. I don’t think it’s a 1:1 caloric trade for alcohol but it’s probably close and frankly the cake is better. 
I feel excited to do things with people again and know I can be happier and less stressed out and not have to worry about being a drunken/hungover ass hat. I’m grateful today’s gym class is being extended to 45 minutes-especially after last night’s dinner and cake, but lordy the fitness manager is tough so pray for me y’all.

I am grateful that I stepped down from my promotion before I had to be removed. Im grateful for the lessons it is bringing front and center. Im grateful that i am seeing all the places i need to grow, personally, before i can take on another huge learning curve like this. Im grateful to be familiar with meditation and all it holds for my personal growth. Im grateful for the skills and tools ive learned over the past 12 1/2 months that will allow me to work through the overwhelming sense of failure and inadequacy im currently feeling. Im grateful that i know this narrative in my mind is not true and im grateful to have the strength and determination to teach that narrative a new dialogue. Im grateful that im rewriting the fucking dialogue for success and growth and not towards destruction and relapse. Im grateful that i understand this is a choice i will need to consciously make carefully the next few hours, days, weeks.
Im very grateful it is my Friday. Im very, VERY, grateful the weekend, and a break from this environment is just 5 1/2 hours away.

I’m thankful there are so many ways these days to learn just about anything and everything you might want to learn about something. It is truly fantastic to have so much knowledge in such an easily accessible way and in a variety of forms.

Good evening…
I am grateful for fear and the places that it pushes me. I see through clearer lenses now and can honor fear for what it really is, a conduit for growth. Instead of being debilitated by my fear I am willing to harness it and dissect it, learn about it. I am grateful that I can walk into an uncomfortable situation now and instead of being riddled with anxiety I simply feel nervous. Fear takes me to my threshold and its faith that steps me past. I am grateful for faith and love and grace. I am grateful for stark reminders that I dont want to go backwards and hesitance to more forward just the same. Comfort in the middle, wow, I never thought I could have that. I am grateful for enjoying the grey.
