An evening gratitude
I am grateful to have accomplished everything i had set out to do today (i had an overwhelming ambitious agenda because i am planning to go out of town on Sunday)
I am grateful i was able to install a lock door knob on my bedroom - feel more at ease now
I am greatful for being so light hearted and slap happy (totally just giggling away at the silliest things)
Greatful for having time to check out a condo coming on the market. It was nice but a bit high for a small unit. Keeping my hopes up.
Greatful for learning patience and art of compromise that comes from living with someone
Greatful for meditation, my higher power and this lovely community
Sending much love
Sweet dreams

Im grateful to God for helping me abstain from my addictions while following his will, just for today. Iām grateful that I have learned enough that when I received a text this morning saying my Aunt passed away on Wednesday there was little fear of relapse, just sadness and surprise. Iām grateful to be alive, healthy and happy. Iām grateful for my family and friends. Iām grateful for gratidudes. Iām grateful that I wrote a bit about my memories surrounding my Aunt and that there are many and they are good.
God bless us all.

p.s. Enjoy the moments. Ya you!!

Morning gratitude
Today I am grateful for Basil for getting me out of bed at 5 am every morning, give or take an hour. Iām sure he knows it is all part of healing my depression and keeping me living in the present. Iām grateful he understands in his cat mystical ways just what is right for me when I donāt. Without him I know some days I would not have got out of bed to face the world.
Iām grateful with his military routine daily that I am actually in a good military routine myself now.
Iām grateful for all my cats, all in their own way they take care of me. Iām grateful they know Iām here for them too.
I am grateful throughout all my addiction and throughout the past 3 years through the depression and will to not want to live that I have still been able to be their favourite person and take care of them.
Iām grateful through everything thatās happened things are actually okay when I see the world through different set of lenses. Iām grateful to understand everything changes, itās always flowing and nothing stays the same to learn to enjoy and be grateful in the moment not when itās past by.
Iām grateful Iām learning through experience that things are always changing and to be comfortable with that.
Iām grateful itās Saturday and I can cook a nice meal.
Iām grateful all 5 pets including Polly pocket (little doggy) who stuck with me through my 8 years sober and then my last relapse and she also is so loving and has got me through alot just by being herself, her loving character and caring like she is the mum of all the cats 
and my best friend.
Iām grateful we get to spend one on one time with our adventures walks into the forest.
Iām grateful with all that has been put in my lifeās path, especially this past 3 years that I know without my pets my heart would be hard and cold. Every morning I open my eyes they are what has kept my hear knowing love and kindness and to not turn bitter and angry.
Iām grateful Iv learned alot the hard way, Iām grateful it makes me never want to go back there. Iām grateful I did learn from some of my mistakesā¦
Not all of them but alot.
Iām grateful for taking my time, Realising I do not need to rush around and that doing things peacefully and calmly (when possible) is a nice way to be able to live. Iām so grateful for calmness, Iām grateful to understand I can be the one to being the calmness or the storm into my life with the things I am in control of. Grateful to realise that when itās out of my control that itās also easier to deal with from a calm and peaceful place (Also when possible).
Have a blessed day

I am grateful for the freedom that we have to go back and forth to the hospital at any hour.
I am grateful for every nurse, doctor, tech and specialist working tirelessly to care for people in their time of need.

Happy Saturday morning!
I am grateful to be sober!
Last night I attended a professional social function that in the past would have involved me drinking a lot. I had no desire! Woot!
I went to this with my best friend. It was something of a professional obligation to attend, so I made it a better time for myself by inviting her. We talk every day but we only get to see each other in person a few times a year. Iām grateful for this dedicated friendship of 20 years.
My BFF is a casual social drinker. She is super supportive of my journey and she knows that I am fine if others are drinking around me at social functions. Iām grateful for her support.
Last night I saw the effects of a few beers on her. For the first time I really could see her reaction to drinking up close. That is new for me in this journey. She is a very classy and sophisticated person. And I saw her change a little bit as the 3 beers went through her system. Nothing dramatic, but enough for me to notice. Iām so grateful to be sober. And Iām grateful for her friendship.
How could this be the first time? Because any other time I would have been miles ahead of her in my inebriation. Iām so grateful to have that behind me.
Overall it was a lovely evening. And this morning I am grateful to have a clear mind. Iām looking forward to the weekend and Iām grateful that I do not have a hangover today as I surely would have had in the past. Iām grateful I did not find myself driving under the influence last night. Iām grateful I made it home safely.
Iām grateful that another week has passed in the school year with some more progress made by my students.
Iām grateful for my loving husband who sent me a very loving and romantic message last night while we were apart.
Iām grateful for a safe and loving home.
Iām grateful for my good health and the time I made to swim several times this week. I always feel good when I can get that exercise component in my life.
Iām grateful for supportive colleagues and our efforts to help our students thrive.
Iām grateful that spring is really trying to happen in Wisconsin. My daffodils and tulips are blooming. The asparagus is poking up out of the ground. And the weeds are getting a head start!
Iām grateful to have this community and all the knowledge and experiences that have been shared. My success in sobriety, especially in events like the one I attended last night, is only due to the learning and sharing that has happened in this sober community. Iām grateful for this and I hope others feel the support and find their way to joy as well.
Peace and fun to all of you!!

Iām struggling with feeling grateful this morning. Iāve been in horrible pain since yesterday morning. Barely got a couple hours of sleep last night.
But Iām grateful to still be sober. Itās been tempting to seek out relief from unhealthy substances.
Iām grateful for hot showers, heating pads, and IcyHot.
Iām grateful Iām not feeling too sick after accidentally eating gluten this morning. Ate a slice of my bfās pizza instead of mine. They looked the same,
Iām grateful that Beans just jumped up into my lap. She has forgiven me for the trip to the vet.
Iām grateful I donāt really have to go anywhere or do anything today. My bf helped with chores, so I can just rest. Iām grateful for his support.
Iām grateful itās a beautiful sunny day and I can get a walk in later.
Iām grateful for everyone here!
