I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I chatted with a colleague in Germany about the socializing thing. She said that we are similar, defined it as extroverted introverts. I like this and it feels correct.
I am grateful I somehow didnāt flip following a conversation in the office here. It was a bit āheikelā I would say in German but in the end everything was okay.
I am grateful I wonāt use this as an excuse to drink anymore.
I am grateful I have enough food in the fridge.
I am a bit occupied tbh as my grandmother ran away again last night. Severe dementia. She is always found. This time she fell and was admitted to the hospital. My mother was on a boat at that moment (a birthday present) and these idiots in the hospital sent my grandmother home in a taxi! I am grateful her neighbour brought her to bed.
I am grateful I have enough.

Today Iām grateful the day was good. Again. Iām grateful for therapy, it helped me to unfold and dig behind the emotions bothering me lately. Helps to understand where they come from which is crucial for me to deal with it. Another piece of geting to know myself again 
Iām grateful I cooked basically the same as yesterday because it was so delicious. Iām grateful I had no reason to leave the house in the afternoon, it was raining and I enjoyed a relaxed afternoon with a little bit of administration work. Easy does it. Iām grateful I found at least one cat transport box with a door. No clue where the other two doors are. They will re-appear.
Iām grateful Iām tired and my cozy bed is waiting for me. Iām grateful for my comfy home, the reliable car, good friends, nice neighbours, lovely cats and that I feel ok today.

I am grateful for the best sober trip ever to London with my wife. Iām grateful we made it home safely. Iām grateful traveling over the pond nonstop was so smooth and already planning another trip for the future in my mind. Iām grateful for British hospitality. Iām grateful for the lovely note I got from our driver on Saturday. We let him join in on the dinner and family time with Julieās family on Saturday instead of sitting in his car alone. Except for his formal chauffeurs outfit, he fit right in with us. Iām grateful for easy conversations with good people you havenāt seen in ages.
Iām grateful for the love of all our pets when we got home. Iām grateful Minnie is looking pretty dang good. Iām grateful all the others are fine. Iām grateful Alice looks good too after not getting her sub q fluids for a week. Iām grateful we were able to fill her up today. Iām grateful I didnāt have to slop my hogs every morning for a week. Iām grateful for room service coffee and cookies each morning.
Iām grateful when I got up at 3:55 this morning to whizz the dogs I saw I golden 3/4 of a moon just sitting on the horizon with stars out and it looked so cool I was hoping Iād remember it today. Iām grateful I got a ton of sleep and Iām feeling pretty good. Iām grateful we got Minnie out by 6 am before the desert heat. Iām grateful I was able to sneak Benson out for another walk when Minnie wasnāt looking.
Iām grateful for everything London and knowing you guys were here and had my back did help. Iām grateful I didnāt have a cask ale or a Guinness and Iām grateful I didnāt want to 
Iām grateful on todays walk, after listening to the Green Tara Mantra twice with my ear buds, I just continued the walk chanting out loud with Benson for the last 30 minutes. Iām grateful I thought it was pretty cool 
and thoroughly enjoyed it

Good afternoon my beautiful sober friends
@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.

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.

Iām grateful for a good day. Itās absurdly warm here for this time of year, and I had almost no meetings or calls. Could work quietly with the door and windows open. Slow gentle walks with the just-turned-12-yrs-old dog girl. It was very peaceful.
Iām grateful Iām reining in my work pace, learning (slowly!) not to let ego run my day or my life.
Iām grateful for Mayās intentions.
Iām grateful for the yummy dinner I made, and then for my Dharma Inquiry Circle meeting. Yeah, by zoom, but we are all over the country and now quite special to each other. KInda like this community oā gratidudes.
Iām grateful to be going to bed soon, to all the birdsong outside, now that it has cooled down.
Iām grateful Iām still smiling every time I think about the little piece of land - and getting the paperwork in order. I will have to practice letting go if itās not for me. Grateful I wonāt be hitting the bottle.
Iām grateful for all of you.
Iām grateful for another day.

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

Good morning grateful friends
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 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.

Iām grateful for abundant sunshine.

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 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.
