I am grateful to have woken up after a nice long sleep with no hangover, for the heat that keeps me warm, for my nice cup of tea, going to puck up my good friend at the airport today, mostbof all being sober right now.
Good morning all,
I’m grateful for a nice sleep. I’m grateful to have gone out with my husband last night for a few hours. It was very loud and crowded, but we did it hahaha! I’m grateful that I got so much done yesterday. I’m grateful I could recognize that I was letting myself get frazzled and feel like I had to do everything NOW. I took a breath and made myself slow down, reminded myself that it will all get done, no need to rush around. Made for a much better day.
I’m grateful I will get to see my sister today, and my niece and nephew . I’m grateful we will go to one of the parks in my neighborhood and have fun. Simple and easy , and I’m grateful to be able to do this.
Everyone have a wonderful day
I’m grateful my headache isn’t from getting all liquored up at the hotel bar last night. Great looking bar, right in the Foyer. They’ve got all the beautiful bottles on display. Such pretty colors and shapes and sizes. Even the glassware is deluxe. And cool comfy chairs. That beautiful bar is the very first thing you see when you walk into the hotel. Imagine that? Damn they’re good at marketing that poison. Fuckers
I’m grateful for a safe sober travel birthday and all my birthday wishes here. Oh and grateful for that other little teeny tiny thing.
I’m grateful to see my daughter. I’m grateful to know when she just wants to vent. Especially when everyone one else is telling her “you need too……”
”
I’m grateful I’ve learned how to listen.
Now if I could just remember.
Well, as long as I remember to listen that’s pretty good enough.
Grateful for the sunrise this morning. Just south of ya Twinnie
I’m grateful it’s not raining here. They need to dry out.
I’m grateful my daughter’s area wasn’t affected by the deluge in Cali last week.
I’m grateful they got Ember coffee cups at this hotel.
I’m grateful my coffee is still hot. And for hotel coffee it was great.
I’m grateful it was a long ass walk to get my coffee this morning, it got me moving and loosened things up.
Grateful for the Pixie shot of coffee in the room before I got my coffee.
“This guy’s really grateful for is coffee.”
Grateful for another sober day. Let’s see what she brings us.

I am grateful for a stellar night of sleep and a refreshed morning. Grateful for making the decision to cuddle up and rest this afternoon during this rainy day. Grateful for the giving myself grace to take time to breathe and be settled instead of fostering my undying focus on needing to “do.” The dumb part of all of that is that as much as I push myself to be productive, I frequently find myself overwelmed and frozen instead. Today I am grateful for a clear head, a cozy home with cuddly animals around, plenty to eat in the kitchen and the opportunity to just be. I am grateful for the book, Running Ransom Road, and being able to apply it to my own life with running
and hiking, and striving for a sober life, one step at a time.
Today I’m grateful for snow!!! Beautiful white snow. Grateful I went for a walk and photo safari before lunchtime. Grateful for fire in the stove. Grateful for friends calling for long chats. Grateful Schimanski came on the couch and wanted me to pet him. So sweet. Grateful for healthy food. Grateful to be in bed sober. I needed this nice sunday.
I’m grateful I’m in my bed right now with twinkle lights on and a candle burning watching Jurassic park.
I’m grateful for solo dance parties
I’m grateful for healing
I’m grateful I can let go of what hurts me
I’m grateful I don’t need to seek all the answers
I’m grateful for creativity
I’m grateful I make time to meditate and journal
I’m grateful for the kindness of others
I’m grateful I can make mistakes
I’m grateful I can love and forgive myself for them
I’m grateful I can give the same grace to others
I’m grateful love and acceptance is always a pathway I can choose to take.
I’m grateful for Windy days and watching Rue’s ears fly like bird wings on our walk.
I’m grateful for the pure, simple joy in puppies
I’m grateful I am healthy, safe, and on this adventure
Goodnight
I am grateful for a calm flight back home and brisk, clean winter air, when I stepped out of the airport. I am grateful for all the new insights I got, exploring another country and moving along with fellow travellers. I am very grateful I remember every second of it and the temptation to drink was almost non existant. Some days I still cannot believe how I could ever have looked for happiness in a drink. I am grateful for my job and that I am actually looking forward to it. I am grateful for the friends and family who are happy about my safe return and are curious to hear all about my travels. I feel very blessed today. Have a good start into the week everyone and don’t forget to smile (shoutout to @I.cant.We.can - hope you are ok, whereever you are right now)
I’m grateful I’m ending this day sober. I had some low-grade, gnawing, off-ness today. Mixed with at least a dozen assorted other emojis. I’m not usually like that.
I’m grateful I can have a day like this now and not dive into a wine glass (or worse, pre-lunch cider before the wine.) I’m grateful I can feel my feelings but also not give over to them.
So much changed in the last 12 months, I’m kind of in mid-morph. I’ll come out the other side. I’m grateful I know this. I’m grateful I know that I’ll land on my feet, at least as long as I work my recovery.
I’m grateful for the meeting tonight. It was a good one.
I’m grateful I made a delish butternut squash chickpea curry tonight, getting mentally ready for my week and food prepping too. Take that, overwhelm! Omg this curry. I swear it’s good enough to share with vegan and omnivore Gratidudes alike!
I’m grateful for my breath. I’m grateful for another day.
And yeah, the light’s always on for ya, pal! @I.cant.We.can Ya you.
I’d be super grateful to see another pic or two from your travels! No pressure.
Oh, of course, with the greatest pleasure! I will upload some later today, maybe on another thread to not spam this one.
TodY I am grateful for the early morning feeling of refreshed and ready with no hangover. Grateful for feeling in charge of my.own day instead of playing desperate, guilty catch up. I’m grateful for the time this morning to listen to a book and clean up before work. I need it to get out of my own head and find inspiration as opposed to the frequent self defeating thoughts that would normally ensue. I am grateful for the 8p meeting tonight. Monday afternoons are very strressful emotionally and i am grateful for that option over an otherwise lonely and tempting circumstance. I am grateful for inspiring and funny clients who brighten my day even though its supposed to be the other way around. I am also ever so grateful for this steaming cup of coffee. Enjoy today and another sober 24.
I woke up at 2am completely overwhelmed with life. I have way too much going on right now at work, at home, and in my head. My chest feels tight, I feel like a can’t quite swallow because I can’t take in any more. At 2am, I tried to work myself out of panic by listing gratitude. I was able to come up with some things, but I kept coming back to one- I am sober. It was giving me some peace to think about it, so I let it just spin around in my brain. I am sober. I am sober. The sentence contains all of my resolve, my hard work, my strength, and my hope, and if I am sober I am resolute, a hard worker, strong, and hopeful. I can do this.
Grateful school says kids have a snow day
Grateful for snow plows
Grateful for coffee
Grateful I work from home
Grateful for a good night sleep.
I’m grateful for another sober morning. I’m grateful to the furry addition to our family that joined us this weekend, and I am grateful to know that even though I’m an imperfect person, at least in my sobriety I’ll be able to take the best care of my buddies, and give them the home they deserve. I’m grateful our new puppy is very predisposed to snuggling, he’s going to fit right in. I’m grateful our other dog is already getting used to him and his crankiness is subsiding. I haven’t been sleeping well, for a number of reasons, and I had an awful nightmare the other night that’s still just kind of following me around but I’m sure a day at work will help me shake it off. I’m grateful to be excited for my girls sleepover at momma’s house for her birthday, with our besties. I’m grateful I had a chance to catch up with my best friend on the phone, and I’m glad that I’m the one that made the call this time instead of her. I’m really grateful I finally finished the sweater I was crocheting for my Momma for her birthday–just like many things in life it took a couple more tries than I would have liked before I managed to get it right.

I am grateful that rock bottom somehow brings creativity out of me to write down things that move me.
I’m grateful when I pray God always listens.
I’m grateful he never gives me more than I can handle.
I am grateful that sometimes the only thing that will calm my baby down is a walk outside in nature to look at the trees!
I’m grateful today was one of those days and I caught myself singing and dancing with her like I was in the sound of music…
Grateful that there was nobody around to watch me.
Grateful the sun came out today…
Grateful that as overwhelmed as I am by everything that needs to be done that I now have a plan. Im going to set my timer to 30 min in each room and see where that gets me.
Grateful for this place and all of you for always loving me no matter where I’m am in life.
Thats for sure, wish I had seen you two dancing.
Awwww, Grateful for you Stella! I have about 39 acres of forest around me! I have a lot to be thankful for. I’ve been stuck in my head lately though, glad for this thread to snap me out of it. Off to set my timer… lol
Good morning.
I am grateful for hope and enthusiasm especially when it is pouring from a man who had lost his spark. I am grateful for renewed passions and interests. I am grateful for the opportunity to witness someone finding themselves again.
I am grateful for a day of nothing where I only second guessed my lack of efforts a couple times. I am grateful that I counterbalanced guilt by doing my dishes. I am grateful to have woken up to a clean kitchen this morning, it’s the only way to start a day.
I am grateful for all of the firsts my sponsees are experiencing. One went night skiing last night, another went to yoga class, another joined the gym, another is on a two week cruise. I am grateful to walk beside these women as they make healthy choices in their lives and feel so good about themselves while making them. I am grateful to see their rosy pink cheeks and their sparkling eyes at meetings or when we meet for coffee.
I am grateful that the days are getting longer and that the summer campout registerations have started to pop up. I am grateful to be an addict in recovery living my best life today.
