Today I’m grateful for reliable public transportation even on a sunday. I’m grateful for delivery service. I’m grateful for a hot bath I enjoyed. I’m grateful the high emotions and various feelings I had yesterday passed mostly. I’m grateful for a long call with a friend today. It does good to be heard and understood and that I can talk with her about my ex and my late mum. She is such a wise soul and sometimes she knows me better than I know myself.
I’m grateful I slept much today, with my cats on and around me. I’m grateful I tried to spend this sunday in a manner that I don’t miss my mum and ex too much. Not very successful but I watched an interesting lecture on youtube about the brain and emotions. So at least I learned something.
I’m grateful tomorrow is a holiday and friends will come over for lunch. I have to clean the house. I’m grateful I was able to catch up a little bit on chores this week. I always feel tired and exhausted after my emotions went high. I’m grateful I recognize this pattern so I can be kind to myself and wait for all of it to pass. The upcoming 1 year mark stresses me more than I thought, there is still so much grieving, sadness, frustration, missing, anger and love. Humans should have a snooze button for emotions. I find my emotions strenous. It also stressing me that I’m still not healthy again. I’m grateful this all shall pass. I’m grateful I am safe, at my cozy home and my comfy bed.
I am so grateful for another day of sobriety.
I am so grateful for naps (I am not one for taking them but find them so heavenly when I do allow myself to nap)
I am so grateful for have a safe and comforting environment - I may not have my own space and am learning the art of compromise but at least I have a roof over my head and my loving family close by
I am so grateful that the human body is so resilient. Here’s hope to recover from all the damage inflicted over years of addiction abuse
I am so grateful for my loving and supportive family. I love that I can totally be myself with them and they still love me unconditionally as I do them.
I am so grateful for my mediation. It is truly helping me find myself and connect with my higher power on an another level. I am slowly finding the ability to release the hold I’ve had to all the anger and hurt from the past - what a release!
I am so grateful for my higher power. Oh my God — I am blessed that you have saved me from myself in the past and keeping me on the right path now.
I am so grateful for this beautiful TS community. You are all so amazing. Your stories and support for myself and others is so uplifting. Appreciate you all!
Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday evening. Sending you much love!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can walk. I am grateful I get more confident in the surrounding here.
I am grateful I had a walk/hike and that it only started raining heavily when I was on my way back.
I am grateful the screaming of the kids in the hall finished for now.
I am grateful I have enough.
I’m grateful for the sunrise. It’s going to be another beautiful day. I’m planning another walk after work. The park closest to my house has a great trail that is along the lake and is so pretty.
I’m grateful the pain this morning isn’t as bad as it’s been.
I’m grateful I’m working on letting go of things I can’t control. It’s definitely challenging. My anxiety makes me want to control everything. But then when I can’t, I get completely stressed out. Trying to focus on things I can control in my life to keep moving forward. What little thing can I do today to improve my tomorrows?
Good morning good buddies! I’m grateful for some sunshine after days of clouds and rain. Grateful for struggles and learning and new different struggles and more learning and trying. Sometimes things are tough, and sometimes things are tougher than they have to be because I stayed up past my bedtime watching cartoons and now I’m tired and crabby and have to make an effort to make the day I want today. Wait maybe I’m skipping the learning step when it comes to bedtime. I’ll get it one of these days. For now I’m grateful it’s May Day, I’m grateful for blooms, I’m grateful for sunshine and green grass and little egg cartons greenhouses. And I’m grateful for YOU!
A beautiful Monday morning my lovely sober friends
I am grateful to waking up from a somewhat restful night (no signs of tossing and turning )
I am so grateful that today will be a short day for the restaurant so i can catch up on the bakery and accounting (may push one to tomorrow- will see how the day unfolds)
I am grateful for my hot cup of freshly ground coffee (with 0 pick me ups)
I am grateful that i will finally make an appointment with my doctor today (hoping that by writing it down ill be accountable)
I am grateful for having meditation and my higher power with me. Both help me in my process for self betterment
I am grateful for my family. I am blessed to have so much love and support.
I am grateful for this TS community truly remarkable how in such a short period of time one can gain so much and make real Friends
Checking in from the spectacular Grand Canyon USA.
Im so very greatful and thankful for…
My sobriety, 365 days aka one whole fricken year!
We awoke at 4am to catch the sunrise over the grand canyon
Last night we stopped at a book store on site and the volunteer Stephen told us about a very secluded spot to catch the sunrise. I said thank you its a very important trip as im celebrating one year of sobriety. He said oh i have 13 years!
WE HAD THE WHOLE OVERLOOK TO OURSELVES
apparently its a spiritual spot when some of the native americans hold ceremonies
Only 1mi hike in, in the dark
I forgot my map but sister and cousin had internet!
We saw elk
Everyones having fun
Boy do these ladies talk alot but i know when i need some alone time
I dont think id be on this trip if i was still drinking
Found an AA mtg tonight at 7pm!
Im sooooo full of gratitude
Grateful Monday to you all! I am grateful to work a step 3 just about every morning and remember that i am not in control if this life and i need to be open to being steered. Im very grateful that i remembered this this morning in my prayer as i left my room this morning.
I am grateful that i got to sit with my family last night for desert and chit chat. Grateful for such a casual, comfortable, normal encounter with my parents, one sister, and both daughters. Grateful that i was included and invited to the next family get togethers over the summer. Grateful for all these little (but monumental!) moments of FULLY reintegrating with life.
Grateful for the solitary drive home Sunday nights. I have felt myself coming back into myself, finding Darcy again, melding and reunifying peices of myself i didnt know i would ever find again. Grateful to be feeling more and more whole as the months pass.
Grateful.
I’m grateful for 6 1/2 hours down only 3 1/2 hours to go.
I’m grateful this thread is still alive and thriving. I’m grateful I may never get caught up and I’m ok with that. That hasn’t always been the case. I don’t know… it’s just a thing this addict has always had.
I’m grateful we had so much fun with Julie and family not one pic was taken. Kind of sad. But how cool is that to live in the moment and be with people you haven’t seen in ages and we all forgot about taking any pics. It was so much fun. I’m grateful there were plenty of people drinking and I wasn’t one of them. And no one gave a shit. Why would they?
I grateful I did good on my trip.
Second pond crossing sober
First time in London sober AFAF
(never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that was ever a possibility.) I’m grateful Britain is not my Holy Grail for drinking anymore.
I’m grateful for milestones that aren’t a number.
I’m grateful my Al-Anon relapses were at a minimum. I’m grateful I got some great walks in alone sometimes. I’m grateful I was going to put on my angry nasty Eminem Gangsta rap shit and storm around London one morning because I was angry. But I didn’t. I’m grateful I changed my mind and put on a 7 minute chant, twice. And then happily chanted my, Om Mani Pade Hum, ass, all over London with a big smile mixed with happy tears for myself. Stopping to look at the little things. The unusual things. I’m grateful I guess I just didn’t want to be angry.
I’m grateful we had a great time, together mostly. I’m grateful when I was on my own I was ok. No. I was good. Real good.
I’m grateful I can hate that my wife has this disease. I’m grateful I can love her.
I’m grateful there’s non stops to London. I’m grateful I can go back again. Soon I hope.
I’m grateful I’ll be starting a sugar counter again soon. But I’m grateful for all the delicious deserts I got to enjoy. And the cookies with my morning coffee. I’m grateful no one will be bringing me cookies tomorrow morning with my coffee.
I’m grateful I can get back to healthier eating after vacation. I’m grateful I know that would not be the same with My Booze. I’m grateful the thought of having a drink frightens me so much I don’t really think about it.
I’m grateful I just remembered it’s CJs one year today. Congratulations Super Star

There it is.
Congratulations on your first year of freedom CJ. It’s been such a pleasure watching you grow and following your sober excitement on here. It’s always a pleasure to read your upbeat short and to the point gratitude. And I always get a chuckle with you way with words and Boscoe. You did it girl! Enjoy that extra pride in your step, for a few weeks. Soak it in. Eat it up. Enjoy yourself.

I’m grateful to God please help me abstain from my addictions just for today. I’m grateful for all my family, friend’s, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for birthdays today my friend turns 59 another friend celebrates two years tonight and our gratilady Cjp with a year.
Today I’m grateful for a good day. For a morning full of cleaning the house with joy. Only coughing a little bit. I’m grateful health and energy return. I’m grateful I will stay careful and not overdo it the next weeks.
I’m grateful for asparagus season and sharing delicious lunch with a friend. Even more grateful for sitting in the garden and talking afterwards. I’m grateful she told me she sees progress into the right direction and that I’ve come a long way since last summer. I’m grateful she said from her own experience that grieving and rebuilding a life takes time and I shall continue with babysteps as they add up. I’m grateful I’m working on myself to overcome these tiring repeating emotional outbursts. For today I’m at peace and this is enough.
I’m grateful for snuggling furballs and a very long nap in the afternoon. I’m grateful for beach videos on youtube, the sound of the waves on the beach put me into relax mode instantly. I’m grateful for the fridge and the icecream in it. I’m grateful for my cozy home.
Grafeful for the Electrician working on bank holiday and coming so late. Grafeful he managed to get the main sockets to be safe, fridge, oven, and a socket for extension leads for WiFi. I’m grateful to have stayed relaxed and sober when it first all went wrong.
I’m grateful the lights didn’t go out.
Grateful for his manner and caring nature coming into my home when I am anxious.
Grafeful for the food I cooked today is all just ready to be eaten the next few days.
Grafeful I am in bed and tired.
