I have so much to be grateful for lately! For starters, I am about to go have s’mores by a fire for the second time in 3 days. I’m grateful for this beautiful house I am staying in. The woman who owned it passed away, but this house was her life’s work. It is Victorian style and I think I might adopt this style for my next house because it makes my heart happy. The treasures and paintings and stone statues… her beautiful garden and fountains, I feel like I am in a story book. And the fireflies! We spent yesterday catching them. Im grateful for all the nature I’ve encountered this week. My eyes have been feasting on so much Beauty. I am grateful I am sober for all of this. Grateful for the lake view outside my window. For a life the little girl inside of me could have only ever dreamed of. Grateful my daughters get to experience this. Grateful for my life. Grateful for my daughter peeping her head through the door… must be time for those s’mores! Have a great day all! :sparkles:

@bomdhil I’m glad you are getting the rest your body needs. I do hope the talk with your sponsor is helpful

@sunflower1 sorry you had a hard day yesterday – hope today was better for you. Stephen King books – love his stuff. What book are you reading now?

@dazercat greatful that Maverick is doing better – what sweet daddy and cat time.

@cjp going down the waterslide – love this – makes me feel like a kid again!

@erntedank dang girl so very proud of you and loved the read – NO MORE BULLSHIT FROM HIM! Grateful for the living alone and the mastering life at your pace…. Love it all!!! YEAH YOU

Happy Tuesday evening and possibly Wednesday morning now for some… so late with my gratitude’s today

I am so grateful for being able to love and care for people we have never met or seen like they were our long-lost friends
I am so grateful for having a day with a few accomplishments and mainly self-care.
I am so grateful that I was able to help someone with a lot of deliberating if I was capable and it did not trigger me in any way
I am so grateful for not being so mentally tired today, I do hope that the physical fatigue lifts soon as well
I am so grateful for starting my day with castor oil – it made me super ill but it is supposed to help with detox
I am so grateful that I finally received the results from my spit test late last night. My doctor wants to discuss when we meet next (7/18) – I’m grateful that I’ve asked for a sooner date to discuss as I can’t make much sense of it. My low energy is explained but I’m guessing its not super alarming if she is willing to wait till mid July to discuss. I am so grateful for my healthy mash up of bean, tofu, Chinese broccoli, sprouts and cabbage – made enough for lunch and dinner :yum:
I am so grateful for my amazing family, grateful for my ability and knowledge to meditate and pray, grateful for my connection to my higher power
I am so grateful for the TS community and my lovely friends here.
Have a wonderful night / beautiful start to your day my sober friends … sending much love :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for recovery, the twelve steps and the principles they instill. I’m grateful that there is always more but I am tired.
God bless us all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. Don’t quit before the miracle. Ya you!!

Morning gratitude. Dang, I fell asleep yesterday and woke up rested and clear way too early. I’m grateful it gave me time to air the house, to cuddle with the cats and to prepare a fumigating ritual for summer solstice. Such a good feeling to hand over all on my chest and in my heart and soul to the universe :pray:
I’m grateful for the noise of the awakening day, church bells, lawn mowers, traffic, birds chirping, dogs barking. I’m grateful to sit on my deck with tea and being present. Gratitude overflow :pray:

I’m grateful for that thread! :point_up_2:

I’m grateful for the rains, rains, rains here - putting out those fires still.

I’m grateful for my Recovery Dharma meeting on Father’s Day. I couldn’t be more grateful for my dear Papa. I’m grateful I can miss him, can let myself feel the full range of feelings. Grateful I know now the only way I can do that is sober.

I’m grateful the dog girl is feeling better. Didn’t post much last week because we were sorting out some health stuff, the dog girl and I. I’m grateful I’m gonna get some answers at her home/favourite vet tomorrow. A lttle road trip for the dog girl and I. And we’ll even see my sweet Mama. I’m grateful they are both still with me. I’m grateful I get to learn to let go a little, every day.

I’m so grateful this thread is here - even when I don’t post. It companioned me last week, and I leaned on your posts. I’m grateful for all of you.

I’m grateful I can fall asleep in seconds. I have an early morning. :wink:

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Good morning CJ :hugs: grateful to see you.
Somehow I feel things are, “in order,” when I come on here after you. Im grateful that feels good.

I’m grateful for the sight of kitten paws under doors “let me out :smiley_cat:

I’m grateful for such a great day yesterday.

I’m grateful to walk with myself. Om Mani Padme Hum :pray:t2:
I’m grateful to drive with myself. Om Mani Padme Hum :pray:t2:
I’m grateful the last couple of days I just didn’t want to put the :musical_score: “noise,” :notes: on.

I’m grateful the restaurant we kinda quit going to put the roast turkey dinner back on the menu. I’m grateful they are back in the rotation.

I’m grateful for 2 great meetings this week.
I’m grateful for my chiropractor.
I’m grateful for my pedicure and especially the strong young lady who massaged the hell out of my legs.

I’m grateful for a sense of calmness while waiting for things, appointments, people, traffic, etc……

I’m grateful the first thing I thought this morning, well after I was grateful Mavy was waking me up, was. Treat my wife like a person.

I’m grateful. I can’t explain it. But first thought out of bed was “treat my wife like a person today.” She has a fucken disease. We all have this fucken disease. I’m grateful I/we are blessed to be in recovery. But one fucken drink all bets are off. My disease comes out of remission and I’m exactly like my wife.

I’m grateful for slogans.
I’m grateful for gratitude and gratidudes.
:pray:t2::pray:t2::pray:t2:

I’m grateful I know:
I become powerless when the first drink hits my throat. I will do and say things that are full out insane.
It’s all about today.
If I don’t take a drink today then my day is good
It’s a simple formula.

@erntedank thank you for the beautiful reminder of summer solstice! I will be doing a healthy ritual today myself. Thankyou for starting the lovely thread. Hope you had a wonderful cleansing day

WOW friend this is so deep! Grateful for your meetings and the new enlightenment you are receiving.

It’s a beautiful Wednesday – HAPPY Hump day my sober friends
I am so grateful for a good nights rest and starting to feel a tiny bit better each day emotionally! Wow – it’s remarkable how we can sense the slightest shifts. I am grateful that I will keep taking it slow rather than jump into my manic routine(s) and undo the progress.
I am so grateful for waking up and realizing that today is my 6 months of alcohol / weed free sobriety! I love that I know my milestones are coming yet they still catch me by surprise. I am grateful that the journey has not been super trying or exhausting. I’ve got the strength with the help of this site and my higher power to keep fighting this addiction
I am so grateful for a lovely sunny day that is hopefully not too hot. I am freshly showered and have made some strides in moving today. Will try to catch up on my accounting today (my head is not so foggy today)
I am so grateful for air conditioning – damn the heat summer heat can be a bit much to take.
I am so grateful that my hair dye arrived just in time – I don’t have the energy today but that’s ok since I don’t plan to go anywhere either.
I am so grateful that I will be able to meditate / pray today and connect with my higher power.
I am so grateful that my mom introduced me to an new tapping exercise that boosts your immune system. Here’s hoping that it does work.
I am so grateful for my parents and siblings – Such amazing human beings! The support and unconditional love is unreal.

Sending everyone much love!!! :heart: :heart:

Today I’m grateful the day is over. The heat and humidity are a horror for me. I’m grateful for a shiatsu therapy. I’m grateful my ex brought the TV cards over. Suprise, surprise, in person. He assumes that I wait until he is done with his whatever - oh, he assumes also I know what he is doing - to get on with the finances. Holy Molly, WTF does he think who I am? Mother Teresa with the magic glass ball to follow him??? I’ve had enough and sent my lawyer an email to bring it to court, I’m done with his bullshit behaviour. Yes, doing NOTHING is big bullshit.
I’m grateful for a well stuffed fridge, purring Schimanski bumping into me for pets, TV series, TS and my cozy house. I’m not happy that it gets warmer inside. Heat is a torture.

nope, working hard on leaving this side behind me. He is immune to me getting furious as he in general is not interested in emotions. Or communication. Or relationship. Or working on something other than stone and wood.

In Austria everything takes loooong and he contributes to this looooong with his sloooooow. So I take the next step. Maybe this makes things move on.

I’m grateful I got home on time last night.
I’m grateful my cats were happy to see me (although less grateful about Sox keeping me up all night!)
I’m grateful they will be calmer tonight.
I’m grateful for pizza delivery.
I’m grateful I got my yearly mammogram this morning and it wasn’t too terrible. (Ladies get those boobs checked!) Fingers crossed it’s clear. It’s been 10 years since I had cancer.
