I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful itās only a short workweek. I need to find a way to concentrate better. Lock myself in a room. Oropax. I donāt know. But like this, my head will explode and I produce only errors.
I am grateful I realized on my way to Decathlon (to by the dumbell a sister as on one leg itās difficult to walk) how fast I get used to it. I mean like 6 weeks ago in the streets here I was scared and overwhelmed and now (not a huge fan) but okay. I know how the traffic works here and you have to be somehow self-confident and go.
I am grateful that I see this now. Cought up in the moment we are blind to change. And when too much time passed, I forget. (Like the struggles of early sobriety).
I am grateful we are such a big mix of people here have much more in common than we maybe think.
I am grateful I read and listen carefully. Like with my colleague today. We all have our insecurities, and weak points but we try to hide them or make fun of them probably to protect ourselves.
I am grateful I have enough.
Sorry. Bit lengthy and detailing. Still, I am grateful for this peaceful thread.

I second that @Cjp ! If I were a commercial I might say " itās more than a timer,not just an app. But a supportive community " I learn so much here. Amazeballs,right? I guess I wonāt forget that,ever! Iām grateful for my moms. Not so much my sister,but still grateful. Iām grateful for my sisterās cat,Carrot. Heās a funny lil fucker. Iām grateful for all that I have. Itās more than enough. Iām grateful for Indigo,sheās so affectionate lately. Lies down next to me and self massages on my mala. Sweet. Grateful the mornings are not so humid,yet,and cool enough to turn the A.C. off for a bit. Grateful for my practice and for Refuge Recovery. Grateful for gratidudes. Namaste

For you @Cjp. You rock!

Fuck ya we care!!
I been thinking about your doctors meeting a few times today. Hoping Iād see a post somewhere. Sounds like good news. Or at least something you can work with. Iām grateful you stopped by to tell us.
Iām grateful our livers are no longer on the problem lists. And Iām grateful your doc isnāt pushing the statins.
Be careful Jean. This gratitude business can be addicting. You might wake up one morning wanting more. Before you know it your on here every day getting a fix. Sometimes twice a day.

Thatās really some news to be grateful for @FeelingBetter. Your liver being taken off the problem list must give you a sigh of relief. Just curious if your physician talked about diet at all. That gets ignored and so many āailmentsā can be addressed with a proper diet. Just curious. Iām happy for you.

So,what happened to those 4 months? Imho you still have them. You had a slip. It happens. It doesnāt erase the 4 months and the hard work you did. I know Iāve expressed this to you before Karen,and itās up to you of course,but there are no hard fast rules. There are suggestions. Iām proud of you for getting right back up and continuing. This shit is hard and you are doing great my friend. ODAAFT or izzit OFDAAT? Give yourself a pat on the back!!

Thanks, yes. Some good news. I have discussed diet with my doctor, but I am mostly doing all the right things already. Surely room for improvement always, so ODAAT in many parts of life, eh?

Iām grateful to God for guiding me through another day and helping me remain clean and sober. Iām grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that I removed all my timers except for drugs and alcohol, keep it simple. Iām grateful I donāt need to count days for all that stuff but it is important to me to keep track of the time of drugs and alcohol. Iām grateful I will still focus on healthy eating, sexual habits and not smoking cigarettes or gambling but reseting and keeping track of all those was too much for now at least. Iām grateful that even though I have missed posting some days lately I have been reading all the posts and still very actively grateful in my everyday life. Iām grateful I crushed it today. I managed to create a new resume, apply for three jobs, drop off my mid month income report card, helped an addict apply for financial assistance, booked a drivers license test, a doctors appointment, made a meeting for thursday at the college to get back on track with the social service worker program I applied and got into last fall but didnāt attend, supported the woman I broke up with recently with integrity and compassion instead of ignoring her and my pain and hiding the truth, supported another friend dealing with her eight and ten year old children having suicidal thoughts, attended a support group, opened the church set up and participated with a long share that I needed at my narcotics anonymous home group which was great tonight didcussing step five, now Iām cooking chicken and rice for my neighbor who also attended this evenings meeting. Also took this lovely photo while relaxing and meditating at the golf course while running said errends on this beautiful day.
Iām also very grateful for this home thread and proud of all of us, sharing and caring in triumph or temporary defeat.
May our higher powers grant us compassion.
p.s. You matter. Ya you!!

Early morning gratitude. Iām grateful yesterday was sunny and it dried up a bit so the construction site could go on working. Still too wet for garden work.
Iām grateful for much much sleep. I needed it. Iām grateful the cats vagabond around the house miowing, itās nice. Iām grateful for no nightmares, only weird dreams. Iām grateful I sat with myself yesterday to process some heavy emotional stuff. It made me tired.
Iām grateful for the beautifully blooming Tamarisk. What an outlook from the bathroom window. Iām grateful I can turn around in bed and have some more sleep if the cats let me.

I am grateful for dinner with a friend last night and really tasty salad
Grateful my granny is up for another little adventure trip to the gardens. She is such an iron lady.
Grateful for the picture of the lilac you shared @Bootz. Reminded me of the three lilac bushes my grandpa planted when my cousins an I were born. White, purple and burgundy. They must be huge by now.
I am grateful wallpapers are replaceable (
)
Grateful for laughs and finding joy in the absurdity of human existance
Grateful for playfulness and that I donāt have to be a responsible grown up 24/7
Grateful for this threat and the people that got me to where I am today. Calm and serene.
Grateful I have enough. More than enough, actually.

Good morning grateful friends,
Iām grateful for another day sober.
Iām grateful I gave up on trying to sleep and got up at 4:30. I love my cats even though they were being little assholes and kept me from sleeping later. Iām grateful for coffee.
Iām grateful I see my doctor this morning. Iām going to bring up that I think I could have some ADHD. Iāve suspected that for a while now and really relate to the concept of executive dysfunction. Maybe worth testing.
Iām grateful I signed my lease for another year. Not happy with the price increase, but itās still cheaper than most other places with similar features. Iām hoping to save up for a house down payment. Iām grateful Iāve made my place feel like home.
Iām grateful the headaches have been getting better. The physical therapy helps and Iāve been trying to be more aware of my stress levels.
Grateful for all of you.

You are Kick Ass @I.cant.We.can ! I agree about simplicity. I am def a keep it simple stupid kinda guy. I canāt even imagine looking at underlying causes of my long term drug addictions. It seems obvious. I did drugs because Iām a fucking drug addict. Period. Iām super grateful you are here Brian. This morning I am grateful that only one of the Canada goslings is gone. There are 2 families and the fam I saw earlier did have 4 cute yellow goslings. Now 3. Itās rough out there with predatory birds. Osprey hawks and bald eagles probably snapping turtles and snakes in the water too. Maybe even a gator. I am grateful to continue seeing my defects and taking positive action to correct them. I am grateful that I had an insight: if I am speking of someone in my Sangha and they are not present its gossip. Gotta quit that shit. NOW. So,I shall. Even though the secretary in my Sangha always states it plainly,please keep your shares relevant to the meditation or the reading or your recovery as it relates to the Dharma,it often turns into group therapy. I guess I am a dick bcuz I want it to be about recovery not what happened to you yesterday you poor victim you. Sorry,Iām ranting. Clearly I have lots of work to do,lol. Grateful. Namaste God guru and Self are One

Good morning good buddies! Grateful for another beautiful morning. Grateful to be engaged and participating in my life and working every day to improve myself, my relationships and to take care of my family. Grateful for laughter and for participating in group activities even though sometimes it makes me anxious. Grateful Iām in a place now to appreciate and enjoy these activities more than ever. Grateful to be on the softball team with work friends even though the game isnāt until 9pm. Wtf who is even still wearing day clothes at 9pm what is this nonsense

@I.cant.We.can WOW ā Iām glad to hear that youāve removed all the other timers and are only focusing on the the big ones for your sobriety. Everything else is just a healthy lifestyle imo and you donāt have to be as rigid with it. You are doing amazing my friend and when you say you crushed the day ā you really ācrushedā it. Glad you found time for yourself though. Doing awesome ā keep it up
@Bootz Thankyou so much for the pic ā absolutely beautiful and purple is my favorite color. Was a treat to wake up to this pic . Love the nature smell after a good strong thunder storm cleansing.
@Frazzetta you crack me up ā yes, so absurd to start a game at 9 pm. These days im in my pjās as soon as I walk in the door (could be 3 or 8 ā 
) Iām all about the comfy life.
HAPPY TUESDAY MORNING MY SOBER FRIENDS
So grateful today. I have a sense of excitement running inside me ā hope that it stays (kind of a fun feeling and itās natural). 
I am so grateful for waking up today with a reminder that we will be doing mediation / prayer at our house at 9. The days all blur together and some are super busy in the am so we canāt always start the day with a family practice but so great when we can. I feel that after this weekends session, the energy really shifted and am enjoying it while it lasts.
I am so grateful for a busy month ahead. We have a major festival that is super busy and just committed to another same weekend. It will be a very exhausting weekend but hey Iāll be sober before and after it so all is well!
I am so grateful that Iām at peace with the feeling that I will never be over the hurt of my past but will not let it define me or hold me back. Iāve worked with so many on trying to forgive and forgetā¦ never did get that concept and maybe Iām just not there yet. I can forgive but the thoughts still hold a lot of emotion so iām in no way forgetting. Iāve just decided regardless iām moving forward and to hell with the past - itās a new day and a new me. 
I am so grateful for people actually returning emails / texts - so frustrating when it seems that everyone has forgotten to do their jobs.
I am so grateful that I have my mediation / praying practices to keep me moving in the right direction and bring me clarity / peace
I am so grateful that my family is so awesome - I am missing my sister (been a week since iāve heard from her) so itās time to pick up the phone
I am so grateful that I have this connection with my Higher Power and I do hope that I donāt lose it or start taking it for granted. I am so blessed.
I am so grateful for this wonderful community and all that iām learning daily from you all. THANK YOU ALL!
have a splendid Tuesday my sober friends - sending much love

Evening gratitude. Iām too tired to catch up. Iām grateful Iām tired. Iām grateful for therapy. Still thinking about what we talked, it feels like there was a breakthrough I cannot grab. Iām confident it will show when it is time.
Iām grateful for friends inviting me for a hot pot. It was my first time eating this dish and it was marvellous. We are sure we will go again for it! Iām grateful we spent hours with eating and chatting.
I pray that the roof stays dense, itās still raining. Iām grateful I feel competent to manage my own bullshit. Iām grateful my life is like it is allthough I miss my mum and my ex these days. Iām grateful I only have to care about myself now allthough I cared with love for my mum and my ex. It was too much, I gave too much, the situation was overwhelming and exhausting. Now my life is fine, Iām ok with everything thatās in my control, I most days feel rested, I get enough sleep, cat cuddles, healthy food and caring human interaction. Iām deeply grateful I made it this far and that Iām committed to babysteps and living at my pace, taking my time. I donāt know where the journey will go, I only know that I feel better than a year ago and my life is manageable again, so this is the right direction.
Iām grateful for my cozy bed and cats purring around me. Good night

Hey my beautiful sober friends
Having a hard time finding peace at the moment so wanted to take a deep breathe and dig deep for gratitudeās as they are not spilling out of meā¦
I am so grateful for having a roof over my head - a home where I have comfort and am not stressed of taking care of the landscape.
I am so grateful for the pizza I just ordered that I will devour in about 20 minutes 
Grateful that more and more places are not putting butter in the crust and can do a cheese less pizza upon request.
I am so grateful that I tried a new recipe for double fudge chocolate chip cookies and was told they turned out fantastic (iām not really eating sugar except for my 2-4 oz of coconut ice cream nightly - hopefully this wonāt last long but needed something after i stopped drinking)
I am so grateful that just writing this out so far has already helped me so much.
Thank you so much for always being here! I am so grateful for all of you. Enjoy your evening / night my lovely sober friendsā¦sending much love

Hi friends,
Iām grateful for a pretty easy day. Iām grateful I had time to workout after work. Iām grateful dinner was easy and tasty. Iām grateful itās cool enough to sit on my porch swing and watch the rain clouds go by. I can smell the rain, but no sign of it here. Iām grateful for the talk I had with my son, about how heās feeling anxious about his future. Iām grateful tools like one day at a time, and stay in the moment work with this too. Iām grateful for our home, for our safety, for love and forgiveness.
