@Bootz - yes, we all do meditate on our own but do try to get together when tine allows. It really helps keep us focused on the task at hand (meditation) and it really changes the energy within and around us
@Dazercat welcome back home Eric. So glad you enjoyed your trip. Always an anazing time when you are already mentally planning the next getaway.
I am grateful for my healing body (it is a super slow process but i am confident that i will see some great results in time)
I am grateful for healthy meal options
I am grateful for my comfy warm bed that gives me comfort during these healing times
I am so grateful for my deep breathing excercises, my meditation and all the tools that are helping me center myself, connect internally and connect with my higher power
I am grateful for my friends - i havsnt had the energy to reachcout to them but i know they are there for me and im here if they really needed me.
I am grateful for my amazing family. They are helping me while i heal even though at times they are not completely aware of whats happening with me (mostly because i dont share). I am tired of being tired, ill and singing the same old painful song. I do know it will have an end chorus so grateful for that as well
I am grateful for my determination to do it all and finally realizing that sometimes i just cant and thats ok
Im grateful for this saying my brother gave meā¦asked that i say it out load 20 xās in am and again before bedā¦a healthy mind leads to a healthy body so here goesā¦im gonna give it a shot. "Every day and in every way Iām getting better and better "
I am grateful for this loving supportive community.
Sending everyone much love
I am grateful to be sober.
I am thinking a lot about when it started that I couldnāt sleep. I cannot remember. I am still grateful itās only tiredness and not additional hangover. I am too old for hangover.
I am grateful that the dinner with my boss was okay.
I am grateful I wonāt let myself get angry about public transport and bikes. Acceptance.
I am grateful for trails here and there and even if itās not what people expect me to do I can still discover things here.
I am grateful to recognise that the acceptance part of public transport and bikes is still an ongoing project and a fake it until you feel it thing.
I am grateful milk turns into cheese.
I am grateful for warm showers and cool mornings.
I am grateful I have enough.
Thank you I had a brief read around and think Iāll get enough glycine in my diet.
Bit of Franzi tough love, face the facts: had a cappuccino at 7 pm donāt eat snacks just before bed time. Remember during no caffeine months I wasnāt so terribly tired despite not sleeping as much as someone thinks is best for someone. Until the stress came up and the no sleep episode started.
I almost know that it is some mental issues mostly and I need to address this. Or: as I am getting older I need less sleep? But I am detailing.
Im greatful im a recovering alcoholic
Im greatful i found an aa meeting in this small tourist town.
Im greatful 5 strangers were there when i got a one year chipā¦best souvenir yet!
Im greatful i found a sober community.
Im greatful we went for gelato afterwards
Im greatful i hiked into the grand canyon today
Im greatful i was able to hike out of the grand canyon.
Im greatful i know my limitations and errored on the side of safety
Im greatful for my wonderful husband
Im greatful for this time alone with my mom, sister left early
Im greatful riding to the btm of the grand canyon on mules and staying at a ranch on the btm has been added to my bucketlist
Im so very greatful for this community and all the support and love we share.
Weāve got something special going on here
Morning gratitude. Iām grateful I woke up with cats on and around me. The nightmares were bad and I feel strained. Iām grateful my old boy snuggles under the blanket. Itās vet day for him for his annual health check. Iām worried and emotional, the memory of having to put down his sister still haunts me after 4 years, it was so sudden and sad. Iām grateful I have prayers and breath meditation to keep me grounded, I have no control over the results and I will deal with everything in a proper way. Going through it alone is hard, my ex was very supportive and caring in these situations. Iām such a crybaby with thoughts and emotions. When you have old pets itās normal to think about: How much time together is left? Iām so grateful for every day
Iām grateful I didnāt give in to the cravings yesterday. Grateful I ate ice cream instead.
Grateful for a long phone call with my sister yesterday. I struggle to share my problems because I donāt want to be a burden. But my family really does care about me. I need to remember that. Our communication isnāt the best, but itās getting better.
Iām grateful itās going to be sunny again today and not too hot. It makes it easier to get a walk in.
Iām grateful for a quiet morning with my cats and coffee. I had bad dreams all night and woke up with a horrible headache. Grateful the pain is starting to get better. And grateful I have PT this morning.
Iām grateful for this community and being able to connect with people that understand. And Iām grateful for the diverse approaches to sobriety. I live in the southern USA and people here are very God and Jesus focused. Which is fine for them, but isnāt my thing. We all need to find what works for us.
Iām grateful to be up way too early without an alarm, on ādesert walk the dog before it gets too hot time.ā
Iām grateful I just looked up and see bunnies frolicking on the tee box. Actually theyāre just eating grass. But there was a brief frolick.
Iām grateful for my Al-Anon meeting last night. Iām grateful it felt good to have people enjoy seeing me and ask me about my trip.
Iām grateful Minnie wanted to go back out again so Iāll finish my gratitude outside on the deck.
Iām grateful our neighborhood paving project started at the other end of our hood on Monday. Iām grateful our end of the hood will be closed off next Monday. I grateful I didnāt have to park a half mile down the road and lug pets and suitcases in after our trip this Monday.
I was grateful for typical British weather. I love it
Iām grateful for abundant sunshine.
Iām grateful for desert birdsong.
Iām grateful I got to listen to British birdsong last week.
Iām grateful for the Greathorned owl I heard this morning out with the dogs.
Iām grateful itās not too hot yet. Crikey itās only 7 am.
Iām grateful for my whimsical Blue Bird door mats I bought on a whim. Iām grateful wifey likes them. Sometimes I get a little to whimsical for her
Iām grateful I feel pretty fucking good right now. Presently. Iām grateful I got a lot to do the next couple of days by myself in Flagstaff. Iām grateful Itāll be a nice little break from the active alcoholic in my life.
Iām grateful for the humming birds buzzing around the pool.
Iām grateful for TS.
Iām grateful Iām sober AF.
Iām grateful for my home thread.
Iām grateful M found a true love
Iām grateful I hope CJ found a meeting last night in Sedona and got a 1 year chip.
Iām grateful Julie and I had a great talk about her anxiety about coming here for a visit this fall. And we decided to table it. Iām grateful for the relief I could see in her face when I told her itās ok. Itās an open invitation and maybe next year. She was just so relieved. Poor thing. Iām grateful I could tell it was eating her up and she didnāt want to tell me. Iām grateful either way. Maybe Iāll get to see her again next year. Or sooner.
Grateful to get my next walk in. Maybe sneak Benson out and get my busy next few days schedule going.
Love you guys
Run with a heart of gratitude and youāll travel further than you ever thought you could.

I am grateful to have been guided to start a set of steps this morning. Listen to your heart, it will lead the way.
I am grateful that my sponsor got in so quickly for a surgery she desperately needs. I am grateful for the volunteer service that drives people longer distances to medical appointments. And I am grateful for people in the program who help each other out.
I am grateful for this beautiful sunshine we have been having it is filling me with joy. I feel some excitement in my tummy for the summer, I have some camping trips booked and I am really looking forward to them. I am grateful for having a little money to buy some camping supplies.
I am grateful for Nugget and her super cute personality. She really is a love. My kiddo has become so attached to her since the other doggos have passed. I am grateful they have each other. I am grateful that my kiddo has figured out a way to do Nuggieās eye meds and that Nuggie is such a good girl to have them administered.
I am grateful for my new solar powered patio string lights that fill my heart with joy. I love the warmth of them and the ambiance they create. I am grateful for the coconut wind chime on my deck too.
I am grateful that I have a new ED therapist who will do 1-on-1 with me. I have accepted help from a dietician too and enrolled in their self compassion group therapy. I am grateful that these are all ways in which I show myself love.
I am looking forward to my homegroup tomorrow I miss my peeps. Grateful I have a home.
Im having a rough day today - my body in on fire and itchy as hell. My head is foggy and hurting (thank goodness not a migraine today). My jaw and neck are tense. I have a overwhelming desire to cry for no apparent reason. My legs and arms feel heavily weighted down and pain is increasingā¦YETā¦i am so grateful that although symptoms are not all gone and this week is challenging the symptoms are so much better than last year and i am still sober so not making my symptoms any worse with alcohol and smoke.
I am grateful that mother is so trying to help feel better and heal quicker. Sometimes i get annoyed and angry with her (so crazy to say that out loud) but realize she is on my side and pushy because she hates seeing me this way
I am so grateful that i finally got a doctorās appointment for next week. Want to get some tests done but determined not to go back on any meds.
I am grateful that i was sent home to rest for a few hours ā¦cant sleep so catching up on this site
I am grateful for healthy healing food provided by nature
I am grateful that i was able to do some mild meditation and remember my higher power - we are going to be constantly tested in life, the trick is to do our best and not fall on our addictions to get through the tests
I am so grateful for the TS community family - you are all so wonderful
Sending much love
Today Iām grateful for adulting. The visit to the vet turned out ok, the old boy was well behaved mostly and the bloodwork is ok for a 17 year old cat. We have to take care of his anaemia coming from old kidneys slowly deteriorating from year to year, this should be manageable. I hope we have lots of time left together As this is out of my control Iām grateful for every day.
Iām grateful I did some finance stuff, itās always annoying when institutions are months behind with their payment. But oh lord jesus Iām late with my taxes one day
Iām grateful for a good conversation with my counselor. It helps me to change my perspectives and Iām grateful for the discussion and feedback, especially on where I am in the process of rebuilding a life on my own and alone.
Iām grateful for leftovers, tea, a well sorted fridge, funny lovely cats, my cosy couch and that Iāll be in bed early. Going to bed gives me peace and makes me calm.
"Every day and in every way Iām getting better and better "
family, Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy tea, fresh pedi, clean sheets, this app & you guys! XOXO 
I had a brief read around and think Iāll get enough glycine in my diet.
