I’m grateful I figured out this morning that my clock is an hour fast and that’s why I got up too early yesterday. I’m grateful I’m not crazy.
I’m grateful Minnie came in because Daisy was chasing her this morning at 4 or 5 and that’s when I saw my clock was an hour faster than my wife’s. Grateful we went back to sleep after kicking the cat out.
I’m grateful that even though I woke up thinking about the active alcoholic in my life I thought about Abraham Lincoln in our Just For Today’s readings. We are as happy as we make up our minds to be. Usually I’m like Fuck you Abe! I hate that reading . I’m grateful that is exactly what I’m going to do today. I’m grateful I found that book mark and read it. I’m grateful I put on Misterwives Decide To Be Happy I’m grateful the rest of my Al-Anon playlist is cheering me up.
I’m grateful I see Mavy’s face squashed up against the fireplace stone.
I’m grateful for all the rain yesterday.
I’m currently grateful for Kate Bush Cloudbusting.
I’m grateful for Ted Lasso.
I’m grateful for electricity.
I’m grateful when we lost electricity the other day they fixed it much sooner than they predicted. I’m grateful for indoor plumbing.
I’m grateful for all the other comforts I take for granted.
I’m grateful for fresh ground hot black Guatemalan coffee.
I’m grateful if I want to be happy I got to get out there and make it happen. Today that’s going to be on me.
I’m grateful for the ice pack I’m sitting on for my back. I’m grateful it’s only a minor ache.
I’m grateful @Twizzlers has me thinking about planting some Coleus around here. I’m grateful I can do it in remembrance of my sister. She loved those Painted Nettles
I’m grateful for the ones I’ve loved and lost.
Grateful for y’all.
Let’s go be Fucken Sober Happy
“Gratitude is an antidote to negative emotions, a neutralizer of envy, hostility, worry, and irritation. It is savoring; it is not taking things for granted; it is present-oriented.”
Sonja Lyubomirsky
Good beautiful Saturday morning my sober friends
I am so grateful to be HERE today - Here on this thread, Here in my body, Here in my mind
I am so grateful to know that I’m not on this journey alone. It is painful to see how so many of us are suffering but yet find a unity in it which helps us pull each other out of the darkness.
I am so grateful that I sweetest watermelon I’ve had so far this year. YES - the season is truly upon us.
I am so grateful that the sun is shining in and everything outside looks so lovely and alive.
I am so grateful that even though I don’t feel well and the pain is just barely bearable I plan to take myself out to the movies today after work – I do love the new comfy recliner chairs (so easy to fall a sleep in em)
I am so grateful that I will finally be able to send out my tests next week and hopefully will get results back by mid June – Maybe will finally start getting some answers
I am grateful that my sobriety from all my addictions is still in tact and I will be doing everything in my power to make sure it stays that way today.
I am grateful for a beautiful meditation / prayer session this morning with my brother and parents.
I am so grateful for my oh so amazing family! They are my foundation
I am so grateful for my Higher Power
I am so grateful for my lovely friendships being made here - so lovely to have you all on this journey with me! This site and community is forever going to be my lifeline.
Embrace this beautiful day – sending much love
I read here this morning and couldn’t find something else than being sober I was grateful for.
Now, I am grateful I had a shower.
I am grateful I could help someone here today.
I am grateful I went out for a hike despite the weather.
I am grateful I was out there alone.
I am grateful I could get there by public transport.
I am grateful my sugar was good despite hormonal rollercoaster shit.
I am grateful that the train was so crowded noone could track the smell of hiking in waterproof jacket at 100 % humidity and 20 degree back to me
I am grateful I have enough.
I’m grateful I’ve been sober 82 days! I’m grateful that even though I have pain, I choose to be positive.
I’m grateful the weather is nice and Buddy and I enjoyed our morning walk.
I’m grateful I decided to see if my grill still worked on Thursday, haven’t used it since 2019 or 2020, but I remember my son filling up the tank back then. Started 1st try! Made delicious burgers both Thursday and yesterday.
I’m struggling to eat regular, so eating burgers for me is a win.
I’m grateful I already did my food shopping mid week, and even though I started off my day with a glazed croissant donut, I have a big bowl of watermelon cut up waiting for me to eat.
I’m grateful it’s Saturday, I’m grateful for Buddy he has been my best Bud! I don’t know what I’d do without him. I’m grateful Riley is doing well, eating, taking her meds and even went a stretch not waking me up in the middle of the night.
I’m grateful I’ve met all of you in this community.
I have been looking, Amazon sell these as plants and seeds . I think in the UK they don’t survive the winter. I’m not sure if they come back each year here or if have to start over. But they are beautifull plants.
I’m grateful that you have this lovely memory of your sister, and are thinking to plant some too.
When I plant mine I will be thinking of you both
I’m pretty sure they are annuals. Unless you live in subtropical climate. My pleasure to share my memory. My older sister was pretty cool. Like we were best friends.
Edit: @Twizzle00
I usually do them as container plants.
Im greatful i was productive today
Im greatful i hit up a dual recovery mtg and the topic was fear and faith
Im greatful Boscoe and I survived the longggg walk… next time i have to bring water
Im greatful for the beautiful weather today
Im greatful for self awareness
Im greatful an old friend reached out
Im greatful for new healthy recipes
Im greatful im diggin this healthier lifestyle
Im greatful for hot showers
Im greatful to have enough
Im greatful we are safe
Im greatful for the newcomers
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for my sponsor lineage. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for Church in the morning and time at my parents cottage in the afternoon tomorrow.
Wow just wow. I’m so grateful that I am vibrating still. Four hours after participating in a full day of fellowship at the Ontario Regional Convention of Narcotics Anonymous. 1,500 addicts in the main room to end the evening for the readings, serenity prayer, and the clean time countdown was incredible. I have been to concerts, sporting events and a tonne of great spiritual, healing and raw meetings but a few times it felt like the place was gonna explode. When a 200+lb. man with two days clean got picked up and carted around the room by four men, the place came unglued. Myself included were chanting “WE’RE PROUD OF YOU” loudly and repeatedly, my voice is horse. I am not sure their was a dry eye in the place. I’m grateful I saw about 10 speakers over the course of the morning, evening and night I’m grateful I got asked to do last second service work. It was a kind of securiry, taking tickets and stamping hands for people attending the banquet. As a result I got about 100 hugs, handshakes and smiles, the best part was it was my dear friend from my former home group that asked me to assist. I’m so grateful he is a non stop ball of energy and laughs and I was right at home, in my element smiling and cracking jokes. I have missed him. He started saying to people on their way through the doors, “your destiny awaits” and I would chime in, “also your dessert” so much fun. I’m grateful him, another gentleman and I kept our homegroup running throughout the entire pandemic. We were drawing people from hours away at times in part due to his and my ability to connect with people and just be shameless, funny and very serious about our recovery all at the same time. I’m grateful I got to ride to and from the meeting in a beautiful bumblebee from transformers mustang. I’m grateful on the ride home it was just me and the driver and we got talk for the whole hour. I have known him casually since early 2020 and we both are alumni of the same two treatment centers, attended lots of the same meetings but never had a chance to really talk outside meetings until tonight. I’m grateful that myself and four others from my hometown went out for Chinese dinner and got away from the convention for 45 mins and had the restaurant to ourselves. Good food and fellowship. I’m grateful for late night flirty phonecalls. I’m grateful for my darn pillow and comfy bed. I’m grateful to be alive. I’m grateful to be working hard at enjoying each day, experiencing the highs and lows and dealing with them as best I can, just for today.
God bless us all. &
p.s. If you’re reading this you rock. Ya you!!
Edit to add. I’m grateful I added my friends name to a large in memory of poster to start the event today, it felt right. Love you man.
This morning I am very simply grateful for the beautiful cloudless sky and warming sunshine. It’s 07:30 and I’m heading out on my road bike to get some exercise before the traffic kicks in. Day 9 and extremely grateful for sobriety this morning.
I’m grateful I came back. I fucked up again. But didn’t drink yesterday and won’t drink today.
I’m grateful I can get back on track with lessons learned.
I’m grateful I have therapy tomorrow. And I scheduled more often to help keep me accountable. I hate the idea of telling him I drank again. I feel like I’m disappointing everyone. Especially myself.
I’m grateful I felt completely sick the day after as a reminder how bad it is for me.
I’m grateful the sun is shining. I will get out for a walk.
I’m grateful I recognize that I need to take a more active approach to my mental health and sobriety. I just tend to go on autopilot and try not to think too much. Avoid the hard work. But that’s obviously not working for me.
So incredibly grateful. Today all 14 of my Seniors with special education plans will accept their diploma. We have been through many ups and downs for the past four years and my heart is bursting with pride. They beat the odds and never gave up. This is what makes me continue to teach, and I am honored to share this special day with my students and their families.
My sobriety, 385.31 days
Slept in a little
Yoga and big book study to look forward to today
Steady weightloss…35 more lbs to go
Improved health
Another beautiful day
Hubbys love
Boscoes love
Hubby has the day off so we’ll have some quality time
This app!
Meetings are abundant in my town
All of you
I’m grateful for another morning sober and hangover free. It never gets old.
I’m grateful for a big gray furrball stretched out and purring on my lap.
I’m grateful I get another chance today to surrender again to this cunning and baffling family disease.
I’m grateful I started reading Discovering Choices. From the beginning. It’s Al-Anon approved literature. I’m grateful I can always start from where I am.
I’m grateful for long phone calls with best friends and planning a walking adventure tour of Tuscany next spring with them. And planning to meet them in Cali when we catch the Gus Bus in October.
I’m grateful for the Al-Anon meeting options I have during the week now.
Hey CJ
I’m grateful we are still enjoying a fire in the fireplace up here but it’s not too cold.
I’m grateful when Alice comes running out of the master bedroom after breakfast to see me wherever I am. And how vocal she is.
I’m grateful maybe we’ll get to the farmers market today and maybe to the nursery to look at some plants.
I’m grateful for the nap I took on the deck yesterday.
I’m grateful for my walks around here on the trail. The cool weather. When the mountain clouds roll in. The cloudless sunny morning sky. The rain. And most of all grateful Minnie seems to love her cool mountain walks with more ease. I’m grateful watching her on the trail here and seeing how happy she is makes my heart burst with joy I’m grateful for old dogs. You just get to love them even more.
I’m grateful
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
Gilbert C. Chesterton
I am so grateful for waking up sober – was in and out of sleep and thought of doing a few shots around 2 am and then again at 4 am to just get some shut eye – Nope not today. We all struggle with sleep and I will get mine eventually - I will not turn to any outside help from my DOC’s.
I am so grateful that I was able to go to my parents and spend an hour with my mom this morning. Had a heart to heart about what is troubling me and it was a relief to get it out into the open
I am so grateful for my second cup of coffee – Oh how marvelous it feels warming my insides
I am so grateful that it is Sunday and the sun is shining and for now it is not overly hot so i am comfortable
I am so grateful that this thread forces me to evaluate my life / situation each day and find gratitudes each day. Going deep inside to find more than the having a roof over my head and great food to eat and being able to breathe clean air.
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer - didn’t do a family sit down but I will be doing my all day solo sessions
I am so grateful that my higher power keeps showing me “he” is with me throughout my journey
I am so grateful for the TS site community and all of YOU - thank you so much for making this journey easier
Have a wonderful Sunday my friends - sending much love!!!
Good morning TS fam! Im in a blah mood today so thought id jump on here and get some gratitude. Today i am grateful for:
The air conditioning at work as it will be +28°C and having to wear a coat and a padded bite jacket overtop can be suffocating in the heat
My job and being able to work and provide for my family
My recovery and no longer being a slave to drugs
My family that I love dearly
God and the guidance that I get from Him
The gym and being able to exercise
Having 3 fun events in June to celebrate. My sons 7th birthday, Fathers Day, and a 1 week visit from my mom who i havent seen in years
Hoping to keep adding to this list as the day goes on bcuz i definitly want to pull myself out of this blah mood lol Hope everyone has a fantastic day filled with gratitude
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for long walks alone in silence, green and getting calmer with each step.
I am grateful I had a good day and some nice calls with a friend and my mom.
I am grateful my mother seems to be understanding. Not quite sure but I try to trust.
I am grateful I got my laundry done.
I am grateful it stopped raining.
I am grateful I have enough.
Im so very greatful for aa. Im greatful as an agnostic i didnt write it off because of the God and Higher Power talk. This program has saved me from the pits of despair. Im greatful for my program. Im greatful im growing.
I take a handful of pills at night to keep me sane, medically prescribed for bipolar type two…major depression. Well my meds mgmt lady switched one of my scripts from 1.5 pills to 2 pills a day. I didnt notice but the pharmacy filled the old 1.5 pill script. Here i am about to run out and the pharmacy wont refill. instead of panicking i walked into the pharmacy and explained my sitch. This caring pharmacy tech tried to submit the 2 a day script but insurance declined. Provider has to fill out a prior authorization. Ok…but that wont help today…i ask if i can buy some without insurance to get me by until this is resolved. I can get 10 pills for $24. Im greatful i have $24 to get me through. Im greatful i calmly explained my sitch. Im greatful for the lovely pharmacy tech. Yeah $24 for 10 pills is alot but im greatful i will get through this and call my med mgmt lady tomorrow. In the before time i would have just panicked and spiraled. Today im greatful for my program that taught me to pause and then take action. I fear depression. I fear depression bad. Im greatful i have a handful of pills that keep me from following a dark path. Im so greatful this will resolve soon
Hi friends,
I’m grateful for a good weekend. I’m grateful that I’m learning to feel the normal feelings of life (angry, sad, annoyed, happy peaceful, all of them) and take the average of them as a reading for my days- mostly good. I’m grateful I got to visit my parents and sister, and play with my nephew and niece. I’m grateful we helped them do some yard chores that would have been hard for them to do alone. I’m grateful the interviews went better than I expected- I have a working interview on Thursday for one of them. I’m grateful I feel a little hope that there might be something better out there work wise. I’m grateful my little garden is doing good and actually producing this year! I’m grateful for love and forgiveness, and to be here on the home thread with all of you❤️
I’m grateful I’m not crazy.
. I’m grateful that is exactly what I’m going to do today. I’m grateful I found that book mark and read it. I’m grateful I put on Misterwives Decide To Be Happy 
I’m grateful the rest of my Al-Anon playlist is cheering me up.
he has been my best Bud! I don’t know what I’d do without him. I’m grateful Riley 
is doing well, eating, taking her meds and even went a stretch not waking me up in the middle of the night.
. I think in the UK they don’t survive the winter. I’m not sure if they come back each year here or if have to start over. But they are beautifull plants.

I’m grateful for old dogs. You just get to love 
them even more.
