We got this. One step at a time.
Beautiful post friend , love ur wisdom and authenticity, good luck with the house fix:+1:
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for all of the quit lit out there and for podcasts about sobriety.
I am grateful that I know my relationship with alcohol will never change and I will never be able to drink like a normie.
I am grateful to be here with everyone. 
Good morning my friends, I missed you! It’s been crazy busy but I have been plugging along. I’m grateful for the support and patience of my boyfriend as I truck along through the frenzy of activities I agreed to participate in all at once, even though it has cut into our snuggle time. I’m grateful he loves to snuggle with me. I’m grateful we had our last day of puppy class yesterday and we got through the whole thing with minimal embarrassment. (I’m grateful my puppy is a slightly better puppy than I give him credit for) I’m grateful to see my friend and participate in our last fused glass jewelry class, and to see how the pieces we made turned out after they were fired. I’m grateful to have spent the last two weekends out of town with friends and loved ones, and I’m grateful to have no plans to see anyone this weekend. I’m grateful to have taken all this in stride and not get overwhelmed and stressed and anxious. I’m grateful for progress! Hooray!
Afternoon gratitude. @KarenKW I’m glad you took your time to rest, it’s so important. Have a good day!
Thank you all for your caring. I love this thread.
I’m so tired already 
This rain is enervating, depressing and I hate snails. I’m grateful at my late mum’s house everything is ok after the thunderstorm yesterday. I’m grateful I watered the plants at my friend’s flat. I’m grateful I visited the nursery I discovered yesterday. I brought fresh herbs to plant into the new herb bed. I’m happy I restricted myself and didn’t go nuts filling my car with more plants it can take. I’m a fucking good girl 
And adulting sucks. Gosh, I’m sarcastic and grumpy today. And 3 hours of group therapy to go! Seems like a good day to learn and stay away from my flaws. I’m grateful for a bundle of more adulting and I will be grateful when I fall into my cozy bed in 5 hours. Feels like an eternity away. I’m grateful I’ll come back here as often as I like 
Thank you friend, i am doing well.
I am grateful i took time away from social media and focused on me and my connection with my h9gher power. .
I am grateful for the qonderful conncetions i made here and the shout outs.
I am grateful to be a few days away from a year around the sun without a drink.
Life is falling down around me but life is good on this side of sobriety and for that i am gratful. I couldnt be more at peace than where i am at today.
I’m grateful I had a good day. Nope, great day 
yesterday.
I’m grateful for this morning. Ever have one of those mornings where almost each and every reading hits home. Or like hey, That’s me! Or hey, I can do that! Or, I do that! 
I’m again grateful for Discovering Choices Recovery In Relationships.
I’m actually kinda grateful I couldn’t find it on Kindle. I’m grateful I’m marking the shit outta that book.
I’m grateful for Mavy nibbles in the morning.
I’m grateful I had Alice and Daisy on my lap this morning.
I’m grateful I’m going to try and switch Alice over to our vet in Scottsdale. They are a certified Cat Friendly practice. I’m grateful I called them and had a nice chat about my concerns.
Is that Shaunda and Rocky I see
@Shaunda I’m grateful to think of you when I see 
Still 
I hope you are well 
Where was I 
Cats. Cats. Cats.
American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP)
I’m grateful I thought why am I trying so hard to take care of Alice. Well, she’s my little buddy. And she deserves the best no matter how difficult and mean she can be to others. I’m sure Alice is doing the best she can 
I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful when she calls me Chief.
I’m grateful we had a great success giving Alice fluids yesterday. Some days are better than others. I’m grateful she asked me if I had fun at the nursery picking out some plants yesterday. My wife. Not Alice 
I’m grateful we were able to talk about politics last night 
I’m so fucking grateful we are on the same side. I’m grateful I don’t have to read or watch news or politics. I got my wife for that. I’m grateful I’m learning how to give up on how I think she “Should,” be. Or anyone else for that matter. I’ll work on everyone else later thank you. I’m grateful since I had Alice on me last night she leaned over and gave me a kiss goodnight. Again the wife. Not Alice I’m grateful she made it to bed last night. I’m grateful I’m back to doing the little things I do for my wife that she probably doesn’t notice. Or maybe she does. Because it makes me feel good.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
I’m grateful Minnie can see.
I’m grateful I’m getting my rodent inclusion inspection today. I’m grateful that reminds me when I was newly sober about 3 years ago and I was freaking out on the Check In Thread because I had pack rats in our new, to us, home but it wasn’t worth drinking over. But I got the support I needed here. And I’m grateful I realize I’ve come a long fucking way since then.
Dazercat 3
Pack Rats 0
Since the inclusion. Where they set traps and sealed the whole house so no critters can get in. I’m grateful I can’t believe how much I was freaking out that day. I’m grateful for Beatrix who discover the scratching scritiching noise by the tub and we were wondering what the fuck are you doing? Then we heard the noises.
I bet you’re grateful I’m going to stop writing about pack rats 
Im grateful I got some plants and a little Japanese maple tree that I planted yesterday. Im grateful I’m not going to over do it. I only planted 2 things yesterday. Im grateful I’ll spend no more that 30-45 minutes on planting or yard work at a time so I don’t cripple my back. Im grateful after 60+ years I don’t want to learn the hard way anymore no matter how much I enjoy working in the yard. Im grateful for Easy Does It.
Im grateful for Let Go Let God
Im grateful to wrap this up.
“Gratitude opens the door to the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.”

@KarenKW glad to hear that today is a bit better for you. Wishing you luck on your interview, even if you don’t move it’s good to have options. I’m glad that you are able to type here as we are all here for you and want to see you unburdened, sober and happy
@Frazzetta good to have you back – you were missed. Post pics of your jewelry when you get a chance – would love to see
@erntedank I totally understand the want to go nuts when shopping for plants/ herbs/ garden stuff – Although I no longer have a garden I still love walking around the garden center and admiring all the plants (very therapeutic) and in a way great to know that I won’t be breaking my back as @Dazercat mentioned having to toil over all the yard work – hope you have fun in the garden and take it easy.
@Dazercat OOOH a Japanese maple – so excited for you. I tried planting 3 at my house but the soil / spots just weren’t right. I do love seeing those beautiful trees – Enjoy.
A very happy Wednesday afternoon to all my sober friends — OOOF – I can’t believe how quickly today is going
I am so grateful for a beautiful for my loving family who are there for me and for each other even now while my brother is going through his crap and doesn’t want to speak with my parents. He is processing a lot of shit and we are all giving him his space. We know that at the end of the day we are all here for each other
I am so grateful that I am not beating myself up too harshly right now – seem to really be having a hard time focusing and keeping things straight. I will remind myself of something a million times (have an alarm set, post its… what have you) and still forget to do that damn thing. It’s happened a few more times in the past couple days – I am now fully aware of it now and see how I can handle it better. So many balls being juggled and maybe I need to let a few fall from time to time. (never happened to me before but it’s a new me)
I am so grateful that I am meditating / praying on such a regular basis – I am thankful for that I am able to do so and I’m at a place in my life that I don’t care what anyone else thinks (I’ll be reciting my mantra while mindlessly walking through the grocery store) – may look crazy to others but I’m at peace and that’s all that’s important to me.
I am so grateful that Im coming to the realization that I don’t care about all my possessions (I am living in my brothers guest room in his basement) all my stuff aside from the plants that I brought to his house is stored at my parents house in various areas – I really have not had to look at any of it in almost a year. Was holding onto it for when I move into my own place and trying to decide on a place that would hold all my “stuff” – wtf – I obviously don’t need any of that any more so will be slowly getting rid of it
I am so grateful that I have you all on this journey with me. I am learning so much each day and whenever I feel like shit (not just on the verge of giving in to my DOC) but just shit in general – I know I can read some positive replies here and take them to heart. I love that this site has so much love and absolutely 0 judgement. Downloaded this app 2.5 years ago – would always keep setting and resetting the damn timers and then just let them go – I didn’t even see the community portion of it until late last year – so grateful that I clicked that damn button and found you all.
Have a wonderful sober day my friends – sending much love
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through yesterday and over half of today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I had a job interview yesterday for a warehouse postion at the Breyer’s Ice Cream factory a few blocks from home. I’m grateful I have nothing to fear when they asked about completing a police background check. I’m grateful I did some work towards College in the form of some assessments. I’m grateful that I was able to reschedule an appointment with the College for Monday afternoon after sleeping in and missing it this morning, progress not perfection ODAAT. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and traditions. I’m grateful for my sponsor. I’m grateful for music and creativity. I’m grateful for humor and laughter.
May our higher powers teach us humility.
p.s. I believe in you and don’t give up before the miracle. Ya you!!
Thank you. I’m grateful to have a place to share these things. 
I’m also grateful to hear you had a resolution of the pain in your hip!
Ah yes that new moon energy bringing change with it. Never a dull moment, but I suppose life if everything always stayed the same.
Day 13.
Just woke from a visceral nightmare. It was literally the end of the world and everyone was just waiting to die, all at once. Was terrifying.
I never remembered my dreams when drinking, maybe this is my brain punishing me for being silenced for so long.
Weird thing to say but I’m grateful that it is NOT the end of the world and just very early on Thursday morning. Am going to the gym now that I’m awake so early!
Have a great day all. Remember, it could be worse.
Morning friends,
I’m struggling with gratitude again this morning. Didn’t sleep well and I’m in pain.
But grateful for another day sober.
Grateful to get back to physical therapy today. I missed my appt on Tuesday and pain has been worse.
Grateful I can keep reminding myself that depression lies. The negative thoughts get overwhelming, and I need to remember that’s the depression talking. I really struggle to like myself. All I see are the mistakes, failures, and shortcomings. The depression screams at me that I’m no good. At least I’m aware of that and grateful for therapy.
Depression lies.
Progress not perfection.

Here you go! It was really fun and everyone’s stuff turned out great! There is a picture from before the pieces were fired in the kiln and a couple after. It’s so cool! 
Good morning! My work surprised me this morning and decorated my desk for my birthday! I’m grateful I’ve made it to the big 4-0-- grateful and surprised. Grateful for a workplace where people care about and celebrate with me, and that I like to be at. I’m such a lucky person.
OOH thank you so much for sharing - those are beautiful and can just imagine the fun you had in creating them!
HAPPY 40th Birthday - Hope you have a great day celebrating sober
Sober birthdays are the best birthdays! Thank you thank you!
@james83 So grateful that it was just a nightmare – I do hope you don’t get any more terrifying dreams. I think our addict brain tries to cause issues / stir up feelings to get us back to our DOC. Not a punishment (maybe more like a test). Wishing you a great sober day my friend – hope you get some decent rest
@KarenKw that depression is a BITCH – glad that you are able to see that it’s the depression talking and see through the lies as they are happening in real time. check out attached link and see if you can retrain your brain to give yourself the love you so deserve.

Happy Thrusday morning my sober friends
I am so grateful that I am alive today feeling all my feelings and painful ailments - they have all improved from a year ago so progress.
I am so grateful that I mailed in my saliva test this morning so now just waiting for results.
I am so grateful that my parents came over for our morning meditation / prayer and my brother joined in even though he did not acknowledge us or engage.
I am so grateful that every time I feel like crying over the current family dynamic I remind myself that everything - every scenario happens for a reason. Maybe this is test and possibly a teaching to let go of my attachments to people. Won’t lie - it’s hurtful but I only have this life in this conscious body so I need to not let anyone else control my emotions
I am so grateful that so far my energy level has been good enough to get my baking completed for today and will be doubling up on coffee to start a afternoon shift at the restaurant ( 
that the energy gets me through the day without too much struggle)
I am so grateful that I have my higher power helping me with my struggles and guiding me along the correct path
I am so grateful for all of YOU and every day I have this site available to me. THANK YOU!
Have an amazing Sober Thursday everyone - sending much love
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for nice co-workers. I am so grateful that it makes going to work such a difference.
I am grateful I went to the fitness class over lunch. It changed my headspace.
I am grateful I handled buying flight tickets. First time in maybe 10 years or so. I avoid it at all costs but this time I have no other choice.
I am grateful I don’t feel bad when I raise my voice. Well, less bad. I will survive the uncomfortable feeling. I am grateful I can look it in the eye when I was wrong.
There is still so much to learn out there for me.
I am grateful for a week off next week.
I am grateful I have enough.
Happy Birthday! Welcome to the fourties club. Grateful to have another Taurus present with presents and presence Lol
