First greatful post so here we go.
Today im greatful for another day sober
Im greatful for this community as its only been a little while but has helped alot.
Im greatful for the yorkshire dales i hiked today.
Im greatful for the love of my little cat beanie who is always happy to see me.
Im also greatful for both my parents who give unrelenting support and other family and friends who do the same.
Early morning gratitude. Iām grateful I am up way too early, it gave me time to catch up on this thread and feel so much gratitude while reading about gratitude 
Iām grateful the weekend is over. It was the one year mark of ending the relationship with my husband. Looking back was hurtful but I see clearly I couldnāt bear this life anymore. Iām grateful this is over and I have loving memories, the bad ones start to fade and become blurred. Iām grateful it feels like I become myself again, still fragile but I feel increasing joy in my life. Iām grateful for being save, for freedom, for waking up early with my loving cats next to me in my cozy comfy bed. Now Iām crying from a bundle of emotions, I miss my ex and my mum. This will pass and Iām grateful I let my feelings out, breath through it and go on. Or sit with it.
Iām grateful the weather was dry over the weekend and will stay for today. I want to give lawn mowing a try today. Iām grateful Iām in the condition to give it a try allthough my health is still not fully restored. Iām grateful I ordered nutrition supplement to help my body recover. Iām grateful I know it takes time and I donāt try or want to speed it. This lesson I learned: Healing takes time.
Iām grateful I cuddle up in bed thinking about gratitude. Iām so grateful for my life, for friends, for the nice neighbours who supported me so lovely yesterday with this 1 year mark 
Iām grateful I was able to support two friends this weekend. Iām grateful life is a giving and receiving. Iām grateful Iām aware I have to let go, I work on letting go, letting go is hurtful sometimes.
Iām grateful Iām aware thatmy heart is heavy because I will drive over to my late mumās house today and the old boy is scheduled for tooth repair under anaesthesia tomorrow. He is 17 and Iām worried he will not survive the anaestesia. I love him so dearly, I donāt want to loose him. The traumatic loss of his sister years ago is present when I think about it. Too much thinking about things I have no control over. Sigh.
I see the morning light outside. Itās time for shower, tea and breakfast. I feel hungry. Iām grateful for HALT. It helps me in nearly every situation 
Welcome Chris. Glad you found us.
Sounds like a beautiful hike. Never been to Yorkshire but Iāve been as far north as Derby. I just love the English countryside.
Iām glad youāre here.
Iām grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while abstaining from my addictions. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful for time by the water on the beach. Iām grateful I got to see my whole immediate family today. Iām grateful for the walk and talk with my parents on the beach. Iām grateful my sister and I took a walk later and we got to share almost a couple hours driving to and from the cottage. Iām grateful instead of my neices being sheltered from me by my other sister she encouraged them to talk with me and we got to ride their e-scooters together, lots of fun. Iām grateful my brother-in-law and I took them out for a couple rides as well. Iām grateful my Mom sat and discussed one of the daily readings with me. Iām grateful the twelve steps work if you work it and that I have been. Iām grateful for the bbq dinner of filet mignon, potatoes, asparagus, ceasar salad, rhubarb pie and rice crispies, very blessed. Iām grateful I started the day at church and had fellowship after. Iām grateful I went to AA when I got back from the cottage and shared about my good week and weekend and that I gave and give the credit to the twelve steps and my higher power. Iām grateful my Dad and I talked sports, did yard work, hugged it out and seeing him smiling big having his whole family at the outdoor dinner table was healing and rewarding to be aware of and part of. Iām grateful I talked with my sponsor for twenty minutes just before coming on here. Iām grateful I put up a boundary with my ex as much as that attempted to ruin a great day, I refuse to let it. Iām grateful to be striving for balance and practicing the spiritual principles in all my affairs, to the best of my ability, just for today. Iām grateful itās a long holiday weekend here and I hear fireworks now.
God bless us all. 
&
p.s. Donāt forget to smile and breathe it feels good and youre worth it. Ya you!!
Thanks , yes its lovely im lucky to live here and to have found a hobbie that helps or should i say greatful 
few pics.
I am grateful for an āofflineā very restful hiking weekend in the mountains. It felt really good to be amidst trees, rivers and the creatures of the forest. Iāve been asked a lot, whether I am not scared to be walking the forests all alone. I let it get into my head a bit and made me wonder, whether I should be more scared ofā¦ nature? People? Accidents? I donāt know. Maybe itās just a reflection of their fear and has nothing to do with me. I am grateful I feel at ease when on my own. I take so much energy from healing my mind like this.
I am grateful my legs want to go on strike today - I probably overdid it a bit with the hill up - hill down - hill up again 
, so no biking to work this morning. I am grateful to be back with people now. I am grateful for balance and managing it better these days. Not the way people think I should be handling it, but in a way that feels right for me. Have a great start into the new week, grati-people 
Welcome to this fantastic crowd, Chris. These great people have helped me get and stay sober - I would not be, where I am today without them. Gratitude has been a huge part in this. Hope to see you around.
Good morning grateful friends,
Iām struggling with gratitude this morning. Feeling depressed and crying. But need to pull myself together to work soon.
Iām grateful I didnāt drink yesterday and wonāt drink today.
Iām grateful I have therapy today. But hate that Iāll be confessing to slipping up again. I know I need to work harder in therapy and on my mental health. Lots to talk about.
Iām grateful for cats and coffee in the morning.
Iām grateful to have a roof over my head and food in the fridge. Iām grateful I have enough.
Iām grateful I bought a plane ticket to go visit my mom at the end of the summer. And it wasnāt even too expensive! Iāll be up there for my birthday. I worry about my mom as she gets older. Sheās 82. Lives by herself. No family close by. Iāve actually started to apply for jobs near her. Thinking it would be better if at least one of her kids was nearby. I could do my current job remotely, but it doesnāt pay enough for the cost of living there.
Iām grateful that gratitude helps.
Progress not perfection.
Baby steps.
OFDAAT
@anon74766472 Just wanted to say thank you. Reading your daily gratitudeās and ending with āI have enoughā really had me reexamine my life and surroundings and I am grateful for the realization that I too have enough.
@Cjp so glad that you were able to calmly talk with your pharmacist and get the correct medication to tie you over till your prescription is filled. Hopefully you will get that filled today as well. So lovely to be present and acknowledge the moments of growth as they happen.
@Acehope welcome to the thread Chris ā This is truly the best way for me to start / end my day (even if I canāt get to my gratitudeās in the morning ā I am forever going through them mentally because of this thread). Love your pictures ā thanks for sharing. Hope to see you around.
@erntedank sending hugs and love my friend ā a very emotional weekend. Seems like a emotional start to the week as well. Check in when you need ā we are here for you. I do wish a beautiful sober day for you and best of luck with the tooth repair. I do hope everything goes smoothly.
@KarenKW I know itās hard some days to find gratitude but it is so rewarding to dig deep and write it out. Slipping sucks but you are consciously making a effort to do better ā be better with your sobriety. Be honest with your therapist and hit this disease head on. So excited for your trip to see you mum ā something to look forward to.
Good Monday morning my sober friends -
Is it possible to feel like shit and be happy as all hell at the same time ā cause hey thatās me right now. I am so grateful that I will not allow myself to be put down emotionally, physically or other. Itās a marvelous day and I plan to conquer it.
I am so grateful that I have done my GI map test today and will get my saliva testing done tomorrow and hopefully get results back by mid June.
I am so grateful that even though the tests may come back inconclusive again Iām not giving up on me.
I am so grateful that I actually slept through the night - Hallelujah
I am so grateful that I am fairly caught up this week and will not be overly stressed
I am so grateful for getting to see my sister for 10 min yesterday as she stopped on her way home from an annual girls weekend
I am so grateful that for my mediation / prayer and ability and knowledge to practice this.

Iām now very grateful to breathe fresh air from my balcony, while I Iām trying to deeply breathe.
Good morning beautiful sober family,
Im so very greatful forā¦
My sobriety, 12.70 months
Insight timer meditations. I found a 30min sleep yoga nidra i havent made to the end yet lol
Clean water
Groceries in the fridge
Time with hubby. I missed him this week. It was nice to just rest my head in his lap while he watched basketball, i was on my phone, and Boscoe was curled up at my feet.
Hubby cooked dinner last night.
We ate dinner outside on our deck.
Feeling positive
Feeling hopeful
Yoga
Meditation
My AA program
Healthy boundaries
Its a new week with new possibilities
We can do this one step at a time
I had an odd gratitude this morningā¦ I was appreciating my sad emotions. I was grateful that I am having them because that means my guidance system is workingā¦ it is showing me what I donāt want so I can navigate to what I do want. Emotions of all kinds make me human and I am grateful for that!
Some other gratitudes/appreciations:
Cloudy days
Learning new skills
Nap times so I can apply said new skills
Gardening on a cloudy day
Car full of groceries
Time to myself sitting in car
Endless world full of possibilities 
Hope you all have a lovely day.
OMG yesss! I did a really good one yesterdayā¦ took so long to get to the main part but it was SO SO good I donāt want to give it away so I will just tag you on the mediation thread!
Aww, hugs to you 
Youāve got this.
What a grateful surprise to see you Sarah
@Clarity and the timing of you putting the thread at the top for me this morning. I hope you and baby are well. Get those naps when you can.
Speaking of naps. Iām grateful for the nap on my deck yesterday. Iām grateful Iām finally at an age and, even more important, a mentality where I get to take naps and not feel guilty. Iām grateful I can put things off and do them later. Sometimes much.
Iām grateful I donāt drink and I donāt want to.
Iām grateful for the nice weekend I had.
Iām grateful when I just let it go. Even boundaries sometimes, and just āGive 
Upā
Iām happier. Iām grateful Iām going to try and just āGive Up,ā with love. I always feel like I got to surrender. And I do. I feel giving up is a negative thing. But it felt fucking awesome to just give up this weekend. Iām grateful for semantics.
Iām grateful I made it to the farmers market yesterday and I got exactly what I wanted. Pomodoro Sauce, Bolognese sauce and line caught wild salmon for the freezer.
Iām grateful Daisy is on my lap again.
Iām grateful to learn more bits about Jazzy. I love how little things unfold here in time.
Iām grateful for all the places Iāve lived and all the places I got the hell out.
Iām grateful for the cat thread.
Iām grateful I go to bed sober, so when I hear Minnie pacing the house at 3 am I can happily get up and let her out. Iām grateful some how her movements wake me up. I generally, always, sleep through anything and everything. Iām grateful to be intuned to that old dog girl. Iām grateful I forced her, just a little bit, to sit on the deck on her step and look out and see her world with her together. And here she comes now.
Iām grateful for trash pick up.
Iām grateful for Amazon deliveries and other deliveries. Iām grateful I got some new bigger 
boats 
coming today.
Iām grateful the sun is shining this morning.
Iām grateful for cool afternoons.
Iām grateful for Daisyās warmth on the right side of my lap. Iām grateful she got up so I can go pee and wrap this up. TMI?
Iām grateful for you all.
Iām grateful for this lovely crazy sober journey Iāve found.
Letās Give Up for another 24 
āGratitude unlocks all thatās blocking us from really feeling truthful, really feeling authentic and vulnerable and happy.ā

Aww same, Iām grateful we are all in this together and have all found each other here!!
I appreciate my shout out, you guys here are like family and @dazercat is always the family favorite! 
have a great day! Love the quote today.
Today Iām grateful Iām a morning person. It became really warm quickly and I changed my plans. Iām grateful I stayed home and felt so much loved by my cats. They were cuddly and clingy all day and they made me doze off several times. Iām grateful petting cats is so relaxing. I,'m grateful that I take it easy when I need it. today I needed it.
Today I am grateful that my back doesnāt hurt very much.
Iāve been dealing with over a year of pain, a few times becoming so intense that I literally needed help to roll over in bed. Mostly I have dealt with a lower version and a lot of stiffness and soreness. I had one brief day after a particularly good chiropractic appointment where it was mostly gone, but then I moved wrong. 
But this morning I woke up, and was reaching behind me to turn off my alarm and I felt something in my lower back move and suddenly a huge pain reduction. An MRI has been planned but I might hold off now and see if I can keep things this way via alternative health measures.
So yes, I am extremely grateful today. Iām sure that the English language doesnāt even have words nuanced enough to express the depths of my gratitude, and I thought I would share.
Awe thanks Billy - you are too sweet to say so. I love you guys! Iāve found such an amazing group of friends here (like my family).
Hey im glad @Bootz asked. I came up with business to business or book to breakfastā¦nothing i came up with fit the context. Thanks for clarifying papa billy @Soberbilly
