Iām grateful he pooped
Iām grateful the parents donāt have to worry about that anymore.
Iām grateful heās nursing now.
Iām grateful for my son-in-law. He loves my grandson so damn much. I mean heās all over him. I donāt even think mom has had to changed a diaper yet.
Iām grateful for a house full of love and concern.
Iām grateful they let grandpa watch both football games yesterday. Iām grateful Iām not really that much into it. Itās more like background noise. They donāt do football
Iām grateful they liked my lunch and dinner I made for them yesterday.
Iām grateful I can help them out by doing chores and errands and holding Gus. Especially holding Gus.
Iām grateful I was in bed early reading last night.
Iām grateful for the Stumptown Coffee in the shop here in the hotel. Never had it before. Iām grateful it was really good. Iām fucking French Roast wired.
Iām grateful we can get an exercise walk in before we go to the house. I hope wifey can keep up with me.
Iām grateful today is good.
Iām grateful I bypassed the bar again last night and never even thought about it.
Iām grateful we donāt have to rush to go over to the house today and we can pick up lunch on the way over. Iām grateful we just go over when they are ready for us.
Iām grateful for gratitude and itās my only recovery work Iāll be doing today. Besides not drinking. Im grateful I donāt even entertain the idea of having a drink.

Today Iām again grateful for a normal day. Had my feelings all over the place in the morning due to far too realistic nightmare. Iām grateful my snuggling and purring cats digged me out of crying, Iām grateful I read @Callie99 's gratitude post first in the morning. Thank you for helping me calm down by reading your post
Iām grateful I got some administration work done today. Calling my insurance agent is enervating. When this issue is done I will evaluate if changing the agent makes sense. Iām grateful I take things step by step.
Iām grateful a friend called me. We phone every week, we worry if not (due to reasons where no answer/ringback/message was a significant sign that something was terribly wrong).
Iām grateful I groomed the cats. They shed.
Iām grateful I called my ex for some information I need. The talk was ok. Iām grateful I left out private questions I deeply want to ask him. Makes no sense, I wouldnāt get an answer. Iām grateful I made one of my points clear. Letās see what he makes of it. He made clear he needs to get his driver license back before he can think about how he or we deal with the farm. Well, I do my homework anyway, so it might occur that I come up with a plan first. Not my problem if he is not prepared to move on. Iām grateful I have faith that everything will fall into place.
Iām grateful Iāll be heading early to bed. Iām tired, the weather is grey and the fire in the stove already went out. Iām grateful for the cozy warm house.
I am grateful to God. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my friends. I am grateful for all the gratidudes new and old, the ones that are out there that never even heard our term gratidude that suggested even attempting such a thing as being grateful for addiction. I am grateful for recovery.
God bless you all. &
There he is! Iām so grateful to see our all star Gratidude @I.cant.We.can! Just not the same around here withoutācha, you know. Ya you.
Iām grateful for modern medicine. And the shingles vaccine I got yesterday afternoon. Even though it took me right out today. Like, out. Iām grateful this hopefully means I wonāt get shingles in my life.
Iām grateful for my meeting tonight. The meditation and shares couldnāt have been better. Iād been in my head for a few days with life and work stuff. That always makes me feel like Iām failing at life. Enter self-judgment. Grateful recovery doesnāt take away lifeās hard days but gives me tools to deal with them, to not add to my suffering.
Iām grateful for naps. For snow. For tea. For learning how to extend compassion to myself and others.
Iām grateful to see @desert_rose posting away. Hey friend
Iām grateful to start my week with @Soberbilly wishing me a Happy Monday! From Florida!
Grateful I could so identify with @Irisees919 and @TryingJoyās posts.
Iād be grateful if theyād could turn @Bootzā posts into major motion pictures!
Iām grateful for this community and what we share. We really are fortunate.
Wonderful way to wake up in gratitude: with a quiet cold and dark morning, a warm cup of coffee in my cozy chair, and see your postā¦welcome back Brian
I may not have been posting daily, but gratitude has been with me every day. This thread means so much to me. It changed something very fundamental about how I see the world and how I respond to it.
Iām grateful for my new job. Iām grateful I see it as a meaningful, very positive contribution to a place that needs it. The job will be a challenge for sure, but Iām happy the people seem not only to be of really amazing caliber, but also respectful, reasonable, plain out good people to work with!
Iām grateful Iām sorting out the commute. Iām grateful Iām sorting out the kidsā schedules. Iām grateful I may have been stricter with them and have had some tough mom moments, but they are more than ok. Oldest did really well in a test, youngest did get some sports concerns resolved in a very mature way for his age. And Iām finding time to be with them, really be with them, whenever I can. Including baking their favorite cake or lasagna when I find the time
Iām grateful I got a lingering bad sports injury checked. I could barely walk last week. Iām grateful thereās a way to treat it and itās not as severe as a torn ligament or a stress fracture (which seemed a real possibility last week). Iām grateful I can start moving again, but carefully. I was going nuts without regular exercise.
Iām grateful Iām trying my best to resolve the resentment I had towards my husband. I love him and I donāt want to feel this way. I really struggled these past 10 days not reaching for a drink to numb it out. I was really hurt and this was the first time I had to deal with this kind of hurt sober. But Iām doing it. And it is allowing me to assess why Iām feeling this way and why he really felt the need to do things his way. Gathering some compassion and empathy to come to the rescue. Work in progress.
Iām grateful for another day full of possibilities ahead of me. And for a second cup of my favorite flavored coffee
I am grateful to be sober.
I am content that I seem to find better words in emails to express my point of view. Not expressing deception or anything but my point of view. Maybe you donāt get it by my English. Anyway.
I am grateful the days are getting longer.
I am grateful for food, electricity, public transport.
I am I had some nice chats yesterday. Helped a woman with her buggy and toddler in it.
I am grateful I can walk.
I am happy that my colleague asked me about my weekend. Not that there was something to report. But she asked me. Can you believe it?
I am grateful I have enough.
Morning check in. Iām grateful to see @I.cant.We.can Brian around. I missed you!
Iām grateful for NO nightmares. Only kind of weird dreams, sometimes with even funny scenes. What a difference it makes waking up with NO upset emotions
Iām grateful for some reading and thinking I did for 2,5 hours since I woke up. Iām still grateful for yesterday. I had some interesting insights going through messages and notes from the last 3 years. Iām grateful Iām preparing this way for necessary work I have to do today. I have mixed feelings about it. But first: Tea
(Today I really envy all people who can drink coffe when they want to. I will negotiate with my stomach if I can have one without painful side effects today. I literally smell coffee though Iām alone and no husband is having his morning coffee downstairs. I loved this routine. And the smell )
Grateful for sobriety
Grateful for kids doing their own thing
Grateful for the house
Grateful for free time but no intrusive drinking thoughts
Grateful for smooth dealings with city hall
Grateful for entertainment
Grateful to have health
Grateful for Noisy
Grateful for the new dryer that will be delivered today. It will make my life easier, not having the whole laundry hanging around in my bedroom most of the days
Yes itās energy crisis but as itās a A+++ very modern device that needs less then 100 per year if you use it for a family of 4. I am alone. So what!
Grateful that washing machine and dryer are both connectable with the app.
I am gratefulā¦
for coffee
my hip being less stiff (had some problem)
yoga skills
knowledge
possibilities
summer rolls with very fresh and crispy cucumber and peanut butter dressing, I will make for lunch
Thanks! I was really involved with AA in Laos but it just hasnāt had the same flavor to me moving back to NYā¦ RDO is working for now but I really hope to find an in person meeting to connect with ā¦ community.
Havenāt heard of H Ghosts eitherā¦ living in a bubble as long as I did, AA was a big changeā¦ but here we are ā¦ here I amā¦ walking a balance of recovery sober. Yeah, I went and read thru the older RD thread this morningā¦ woke up at 430 and couldnāt sleepā¦ slept too good! Yeah, Iām usually on the RDO as Kelly B say hello if you ever see me there. Anyone can.
My days of anonymity are long over LOL.
Grateful to be able to give myself some room to pass on my morning workout routine today and instead have a bit of bonus snoozy puppy snuggles. Some kinda tension is making me feel like all the muscles in my neck head and face have shrunk by 1/2 inch, and Iām grateful to be able to give myself a little leeway this morning. Grateful the dogs are settling in and becoming friends, and grateful the puppy sleeps and snuggles through the night. Grateful for a bit of sunshine today.
Today I am grateful for a great night of sleep and a hangover free morning. Iām grateful to have passed all options for alcohol on my way home yesterday and chose a healthy dinner instead. Iām grateful for the books, mantras, inspiring stories along the way that helped me to do that. Iām grateful for my friend who I can talk to throughout the day about even the tiniest detail of life and still be shown interest and compassion - I am most grateful to do that for her as well. I am grateful for the step by step training plan that reminds me to take each day, hour, minute as a building block toward my goals, instead of trying to eat the whole elephant at once! Im gratefup for a 4 year lease that has kept my rent low throughout these crazy economic times. Woshing you all a great day.
My sobriety, 268 days free
My partner, my hubby
Boscoe
Option to work from home
AA fellowship
A productive monday
Sticking to my healthy eating
Clean tap water
Looking forward to a walk with Boscoe
Quality sleep sans nightmares
My folks
My family
Progress not perfection
Grateful for another sober morning and a great speaker meeting.
Grateful for the zazen instruction I attended with my daughter, who immediately became a member. (How nice for her since sheās driving my car and I have no transportation!)
This too shall pass. Right now itās important for her to get to school and all of my classes are online. We are waiting for taxes to replace hers, which dropped a piece of engine block in the middle of the road.
I am grateful for working at home and an easy pace in the beginning of this semester.
I am grateful for 15 days of making my bed every single morning.
I am grateful for online communities, as Nebraska seems to be a sobriety wasteland. I am looking forward to leaning into the meditation community at the Zen Center.
I am grateful it reminded me to pick up Eight Step Recovery and I just may start a meeting of my own.
I am grateful for the activists that are prepping for a fight against the anti-transgender legislation that has recently been introduced. Itās such a step back and it hurts.
Iām grateful for gratitude
Iām grateful to be kinda all caught up here in a whirlwind of much gratitude, yours mine ours.
Hey Brian. Grateful I donāt have to worry about my team winning or loosing the Super Bowl. Go Bengals! With honey on top
Iām grateful I was up early listening to my wife.
Im grateful for my son and DIL. Being therapists and already had a baby they are good to talk to.
Im grateful we got over being upset that the kids donāt want to see us all day today. Or Thursday. Iām grateful we are sticking to the facts.
Iām grateful we reap what we sow.
Iām grateful my wife and I are going with compassion this morning and that all this baby stuff is so new to them. Even though we flew all the way out here to be with them, we can get a couple of half days off to ourselves, go to Malibu and go out alone for a nice dinner tonight. Take a drive on the PCH.
Iām grateful we get to exercise walk each morning and we donāt have to rush over to see them.
Iām grateful itās all good.
Iām grateful I let my wife be all pissed off about it last night. Like I could do anything about it. I could. I listened. And we stuck to the facts.
Iām grateful for the Berenstain Bears children books. They should have one titled Berenstain Bears And Too Much Family
Iām grateful to be sharing my gratitude time with my wifeās Twitter time. Grateful Iām flexible. Im grateful she just showed me a great TikTok she came across.
Iām grateful for my recovery and gratitude will be my recovery work for the morning.
