Morning,
I’m grateful for not drinking yesterday or wanting to.
I’m grateful to be part of the amazing community - I love it here.
I’m grateful to think back yesterday about how my life was and how it could still be. I’m really not sure how I got through my days. I think I stayed away from my colleagues until I felt better. I’m grateful to experience life on this side which gives me determination never to go back to the other side

Today I am grateful for our cozy home and comforting coffee in the morning. I’m grateful for the companionship of our kitties and pups, especially when I’m home alone. I am grateful for journaling check-ins and for the meditation I found yesrerday when I felt like I was spinning out. I have had so many freak out moments and restless nights of sleep recently and am grateful for the tools available to help put things in perspective. They truly help me to not try to live my whole life all at once, if that makes sense. I find myself often bogged down in the past and planning for the future, instead of being in the present moment and I become overwelmed. I am grateful for this forum amd for all of you.

Morning headaches just seem ridiculous if you haven’t been drinking. And somehow they were just acceptable when I did drink.
I’m so glad that most mornings are just great now.

Happy Saturday morning!
It’s been like summer weather this week so I’m enjoying my coffee and gratitude on my front porch today.
I’m grateful to be sober and at peace with myself and my decisions to step away from alcohol.
I’m grateful to see myself gaining more peace and kindness and calm.
I’m grateful for this first cup of coffee and the bossy presence of my one-eyed rescue chihuahua on my lap today.
I’m grateful for this beautiful porch. A year ago my husband tackled the project of remaking it to simulate the front porch of our favorite vacation rental house in Tybee Island, Georgia. So I have these beautiful “beach vibes”.
I’m grateful for another week of teaching under my belt. Somehow the entire 6th grade is struggling with emotions and social skills. Lots of tears and some tantrums this week. I was able to maintain my patience and my high expectations. Every hour is a chance for a youngster to do better. And they mostly did. Eventually.
I’m grateful to have a peaceful home without tears and tantrums.
I’m grateful to have gotten the wedding guest list for my son’s wedding this week! The big event is in August. It will be a fun few days of celebration and connecting with lots of people from my past. His dad and I have been mostly amicably divorced for almost 18 years, so there will be some family interactions to look forward to. I will be doing a lot of planning on how to maintain my sobriety in those days. Planning ahead a lot will make it manageable I’m sure.
I’m grateful that I had a decent Easter visit with my mother. I’m really working on myself and my attitude about her. My goal is to get to a sense of peace and acceptance about who I am with her, because of her, and in spite of her. I’m tired of feeling emotionally upset about my parents and I’m working hard to get to peace. At 58 years old, I’m ready to move on from the angst and pain of my childhood. Good grief.
I’m grateful to be looking forward to summer break. It is less than 40 school days away!
I’m grateful for the decisions that I have made to get to this home, this marriage, this job, and this state of sobriety. It’s been a journey and I’m grateful to have gotten here in one piece.
Peace!

Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful to be sober and close to 100 days.
I’m grateful for the work retreat we had and actually meeting in person the people I work with. I’m grateful for making a couple new friends. While team building exercises are a bit tedious, they were helpful in getting to know others. I’m grateful I set boundaries and skipped some of the social activities when it all got to be too much.
I’m grateful for the massage I treated myself to yesterday afternoon when the retreat was over.
I’m grateful it’s now the weekend and I can rest and relax.

I’m grateful Maverick is asleep on my left arm and I can try and do gratitude now. Or maybe wait until later.
I’m grateful for the green Tara mantra meditation I did this morning.
I’m grateful for the Grief and Loss and Acceptance meditation I did before bed last night.
I’m grateful I don’t think it’s bothering me as much when I get to go to bed alone at night. I’m grateful I get to do my own thing. I’m grateful for the time I do get to have with my wife.
I’m grateful I made a connection today about when my dad use to wait up for me, when I was a teenager, until I got home at night. He was usually passed out in his chair. I remember the empty vodka bottle. The handle with the red label. And I would tell him I’m home and he could go up to bed now. Maybe I’m grateful I’m figuring out, I’m kind of living that again now and it’s sad. I’m grateful I loved my dad, still do, but he wasn’t really there for me. Not like Tommy, Ricky, and Bobby’s dad down the street. But I know he still loved me and I loved him unconditionally.
I’m grateful for the tune of the Green Tara Mantra going on in my head.
Grateful Mavy is still asleep and purring on my left arm but I can still hold the iPad.
I’m grateful we got to get Minnie walked but I got a sleeping cat on me. Tough decision this morning that I’m grateful to have.
Grateful the dryer is working. I’m grateful it was just an embarrassing dirty lint screen blocking air flow. I mean we always clean it after every load but the screen had a build up of softener oils in it clogging the tiny little holes. Never had that before. Gently scrubbed it clean and it’s working like a charm. I’m grateful the car was ready to be picked up right after the appliance guy left and we didn’t have to wait until Monday to get the other car back.
I’m grateful my left arm is breaking and I’m going to have to break a cardinal rule of getting up while a cat is asleep on me.
Grateful for you all and this practice of gratitude.
”Gratitude is one of the most medicinal emotions we can feel. It elevates our moods and fills us with joy.

Grateful for a really good day today! My brother and I did our first orienteering event today, and despite the wind and rain and cold, and my strategic error of (oversleeping) not wearing my moisture wicking underlayers it was super fun! My new boots and pants kept me warm and dry. Grateful for cheeseburgers afterwards with my brother and my bf. Grateful for a chance to finally warm up again lol. Grateful to have plans to see the new D&D movie later with my man, and grateful to know I’ll get to see my momma tomorrow. There are chores to do and groceries to get, but I’m grateful not to feel the anxiety pressure of undone tasks, there’s all the time in the world for that and I’m happy right where I am.

I am grateful for second chances.
I am grateful for devine timing.
I am grateful for love.
I am grateful for complete surrender and all of the power it gives me.
I am grateful for my keen senses and for the shift in energy that is really affecting me today.
I am grateful that I dont have to drink to deal with how I feel right now, it is uncomfortable. Its somewhere between anxious and restless yet lethargic.
I am grateful for self awareness and for the ability to say," yep I definitely would have drank this away." Even though at the time I wouldnt have known what was making me “need a drink”.
I am grateful for selfless service and how it keeps addicts clean.
I am grateful I reached out to a member who is struggling even though he is a he. I am grateful when it comes down to the bottom line we are just two addicts. Plain and simple.
I am grateful to be heading to my 3rd pranayama class now. I am grateful for my breath.

Im greatful i have a heathy “good fear” of losing my sobriety and all the positive momentum ive gained in my 11+ month journey.

Im greatful im a woman of action again!

I am grateful to be sober. Through the past 6 weeks that have been really challenging mentally and emotionally.
I am grateful for good coworkers to vent and to chat.
I am grateful it’s only Sunday. No hangover. Only tired. But calmer.
I am grateful for electricity and warm water working.
I am grateful I can walk. I am grateful for the nice trails I have here for short walks. Might be going for a run some time.
I am grateful I have rather good orientation. Compared to many people I know.
I am grateful for online library options. I am grateful for Arte as I have access to all content there. Many other German mediatheks often show: we are sooooooooooooooo sorry but due to blablabla we cannot show the content at your current location.
Oh, I am grateful for wax Oropax.
I am grateful I talk with myself. I was in this huge car in the traffic constantly telling myself aloud: yes, you can do this. 
I am grateful I have enough.

Morning gratitude. TW TMI.
I’m grateful for another night of rather good sleep. I again did not expect it due to my coughing cold. I’m grateful I take good care of myself.
I’m grateful for a series marathon yesterday. I’m grateful I treated myself to amazon prime last summer. I don’t use it often but I like to have the opportunity.
I’m grateful for a realization that hit me yesterday. I’m feeling fine and comfortable at low temperatures, always did. That applies of capital importance to my daily living environment, which is mostly indoor. I realized that I was permanently stressed and exhausted as my ex needed it warm and I suffered because for me the house was way to warm. Now living alone I enjoy my comfy temperature range far below 20 degrees celsius and I feel not stressed, I am happy and it’s cold enough that I nestle down in the cozy blankets I haven’t used for many many years. I’m grateful that each of us now has their comfort zone without negative impact on the other one Realizations like this are important for me, because they show me that I move on and make progress in taking good care of myself, creating awareness of longtime impacts not met needs have. I’m grateful I feel little resentments toward my ex these days allthough I’m a poor, sick, whiney girl coughing her bronchia off 
I’m really a pest when I’m sick. I’m grateful the cats don’t mind and I’m only getting on my own nerves.
I’m grateful for hot showers, thyme from the garden to do herbal-salt-inhalations, my cozy bed, couch & house, my lovely lovely cats and the knowledge this episode too will pass. My impatience when I’m sick is worse than normal so I have to do more meditation. But first breakfast for cats.

Grafeful my mind seems to be settling down, thinking clearly, the fog is lifting.
Grateful I don’t feel bad for taking a few days break from the exercise and swimming. I’m grateful I realised my body and mind needed that break.
Grafeful I’m not rushing around and learning to just let things be, if I rush it doesn’t actually make anything happen quicker except my mind rush with confusion.
Grateful I have many posts to catch up on here as I enjoy reading them from you all, they are healing.
I’m grateful that I practice being grateful throughout my days and it is part of who I am now. It’s really nice to share them and I’m grateful for this space. When my mind is slightly not right I’m grateful to still be able to practice gratefulness daily in my life as well as write it down
