Good morning GDudes 
I’m grateful to get right into this shit.
I’m grateful she passed out on the couch last night. I’m grateful the glass she broke and cut herself on wasn’t too deep and she was able to bandage herself. I’m grateful I can see her partial glass of wine sitting on her end table this am. I’m grateful I realize how strong denial can be. I’m grateful Sometimes I don’t really know how drunk she is at night but when there is leftover wine in the glass in the morning…… well that almost never happens so I’m grateful I was right about how drunk she must have been last night. I’m grateful that doesn’t mean shit! But sometimes I give her the benefit of the doubt or is that some kind of denial I have where I just don’t want it to be so. Anyway…. We had a good run… I’m grateful for what?…. a couple of days she drank but didn’t pass out and we had a good time. But the best part is…….
Wait for it…….
I’m grateful I finally broke the ice and found a meeting on line as soon as I felt that god awful dread in my gut. Im grateful I had the Al-Anon app already on my iPad. Im grateful it was easy to find a meeting. I’m grateful I found one right away. Instantly! Im grateful I was able to hop on and check it out. I’m grateful for my open mind. I hate online meetings or zoom meetings. Let me, let you in on a secret. I’ve never been on one 
. So how the fuck would I know if I hate them or not I’m grateful I can have an open mind, again, and take care of myself. Im grateful I shared at the very end of that meeting. It wasn’t so bad. Im grateful I might just keep going back because I know I’m fucking worth it!!
Im grateful we caught Daisy after she escaped and got under the house yesterday 
Im grateful she’s sitting on my lap.
Im grateful for the John Mulvaney Netflix special about his intervention and rehab stay. 
Trigger Warning
But it was funny as hell but of course sad. I’m grateful he’s back in recovery.
Even though it was a shit night sleep I’m grateful I’ve been up since 5:30 it’s not even 7 yet and I feel pretty good.
I’m Grateful we basically have our menus planned and groceries purchased for the weekend so we can hunker down and stay away from the tourists up here.
I’m grateful it took me 4 days to plant 7 things and I’m finished for now and my back isn’t screaming at me.
I’m grateful here comes Minnie.
I’m grateful there goes Minnie.
I’m grateful I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself today. But it’s going to be a good day. Or not. I’m grateful it will last 24 hours and tomorrow will be another one. And I’ll still be fucking sober. Without 
I’m dying over here and I’ve never wanted to steal someone’s words so quickly. I love it and love your way with words Jenny. I’m grateful you’re here.
I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

YES - I love the attitude and the faith. I enjoyed the new Antman movie (friends had mixed reactions - what did you think?
@lab such a lovely gratitude today. I feel love and hope overflowing from it. So glad that your brother has decided to join you on the sober journey and you are able to support him. Have a wonderful day my friend.
@dazercat So grateful that you were able to find and jump on an online meeting as soon as the feeling hit you and even more grateful that they helped. Love recovery!
Happy Saturday morning my sober friends
I am grateful that I was able to dry my eyes this morning and get outta bed with a hope that I am not going to let me emotions rule me today. So far so good…
I am so grateful that the sun is shining and I can enjoy it from the comfort of the basement while sipping on a hot cup of a new dark roast blended coffee (i like to grind up my coffee but mix a few different types together to get my own perfect blend)…so rich and yummy do not need anything else added to it 
I am so grateful that i know i’ll get all the work done today but at the moment am in I Don’t Give A Fuck mode
I am so grateful that I know the pool is opening today (skin not ready to go in today but I do know in the back of my head that it available and that in itself is enough)
I am so grateful that the new pains i woke up with are less bothersome right now
I am so grateful for my parents – love their support
I am so grateful that I looked into studio apartments last night and remembered why I bought a house in the first place - good lord the rent is insane.
I am so grateful for my higher power - providing me with the knowledge and clarity to improve myself and the ability to meditate / pray
I am so grateful for all of you! Love this app and it’s such a pleasure getting to know each and everyone of you a little more every day.
Have an kick ass day every one - sending much love
Congrats on your 1 year of continuous sobriety and recovery!
Grateful you have let us share in your milestone!
Onward we go 
Congratulations Shaunda:sunflower:
I hope you enjoy your special day today!
Grateful found 1 auto mechanic shop open today todo an oil change. My town takes their holiday weekends seriously.
Stay safe all of you my friends.
Huge Congratulations to you dear Shaunda.
I’m so happy you shared this with us.
Keep up the great sober work.
Today I’m grateful for another good day. I’m grateful I killed a bug yesterday, hell knows where this stinky beast came into the house. I’m grateful for the washing machine and that I have literally everything in double. Had to throw the whole bedding to the laundry after the attack. One more time adulting …
I’m grateful I did garden work in the morning, before lunch and in the evening. It feels good to have my shit together. More or less. I’m grateful I called it at a day when I became tired. Healthy boundaries within myself.
I’m grateful I pampered myself with delicious food today allthough I did not want to cook lunch in the first place. I’m grateful I did it finally, good healthy homemade food makes me happy and content.
I’m grateful I rested when I needed it and that my cats love to rest with me. I’m grateful I’ll go to bed now. I’m tired, calm, content, feel save and grounded. I’m grateful for all the blessings in my life 
Happy soberversary @Shaunda 
Congratulations on reaching a wonderful milestone. Learning healthy ways to celebrate these big moments life brings will be key to moving forward, or it was and will be again for me.
@JazzyS I did enjoy Antman Quantumania and now look forward to the next season of Loki even more
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through most of today and helping me reamain clean and sober. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the nice walk in the sunshine I just got home from. I’m grateful I had a good sleep. I’m grateful for a good recovery discussion group this morning. I’m grateful to be going to a different meeting this evening.
God bless us all. 
&
p.s. Don’t be afraid of working the twelve steps and that they might work, you deserve the change it brings, no matter what you’re addict/alcohloic or mental health brain tells you. Ya you!!
Grateful reading so many posts that move me. What a beautiful life we live in, thank you for sharing.
Grateful for the rain outside as I type this.
Grateful I am doing my best to be healthier starting with living a drug and alcohol free life.
Grateful my daughter inherited my childhood love for bugs and anything living
Grateful this gives me an excuse to look under stumps again.
Grateful we finally went to Dug mountain today she had been begging all week… even though we didn’t find any salamanders like she wanted just a snake.
Grateful for the woman there who identified the snake for us with her snake identification FB group, lol I need more people like this in my life.
Grateful I get a quiet night while my daughter is at grandmas
I’m grateful to have spent the day with a group of great people; old and new friends and acquaintances. I’m grateful that I didn’t join in with the half who were starting to get wasted as the night went on. Also grateful that the two smores I had didn’t make me sick.
@Dazercat how great that you found an online group. I’m grateful you have another resource available to you!
@erntedank I am also grateful you killed that bug yesterday! One less in the world!
Good morning friends,
Trying to find some gratitude.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful that while I still have a lot of back and shoulder pain, my head is a bit better. That’s a bit of a relief.
I’m grateful I can take it easy today.
I’m grateful it’s nice weather and I can try to get to the park later.
I’m grateful my bf cooked dinner for us last night. I usually enjoy cooking but with my current level of pain I can’t do much. He recognized that and offered.
I’m grateful for my cats, particularly when they want to snuggle.

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for a long weekend. I’m grateful I did what my heart wanted to yesterday, which was re- pot some of my houseplants, play in the garden, and work on restoring an old cast iron pan. I’m grateful for the surprise visit from my sister and her husband, and the 2 kids. I’m grateful I love those kids so much. I’m grateful my own kids got off their phones ( without me forcing them) and hung out with us and also enjoyed playing with the kids. I’m grateful that the working interview went really good. I’m grateful I could feel nervous, out of place, intimidated, etc. and I didn’t think about drinking to “fix” it. I’m disappointed that the pay offered was to low to make the job a viable option. I’m grateful I let myself feel the intense disappointment, even cry a little, and then try to keep moving forward. I’m grateful that I accidentally found this place when I was just trying to count my sober days, and I found ( or was directed) to this thread which has made such a difference in my life❤️
I’m grateful 
…….
Grateful I’m breathing 
Grateful for my 
Grateful Alice is warm on my lap and purring.
Grateful Minnie just walked by.
Grateful I did an Al-Anon meeting in bed last night WTAF 
Grateful I know I got to figure out how to take care of myself.
I’m grateful I saw myself in the mirror while washing my hands and thought, God man, you look like shit. I’m grateful I can shower and shave and make myself look better to me and for me today.
Grateful she didn’t start drinking til 5 last night.
Grateful I enjoyed the first part of last week with her.
Grateful I can fake it till I make it. But it’s getting very difficult and I don’t think I’ll ever make it.
Grateful Benson looks all cute in his bed.
Grateful for how briskly Minnie walks in the cool mornings on the trail.
I’m grateful my wife does all the laundry.
I’m grateful she does all the 
chores.
I’m grateful she’s still in bed.
I’m grateful I’m watching Mavy on the cat palace deciding where to take his morning nap. But first a scratch.
I’m grateful my coffee is still hot.
I’m grateful for early morning peace and quiet and the sound of Alice’s purr in my lap.
I’ll be grateful if Alice gets up soon. I really got to pee. TMI? 
Grateful I still have control of my bladder. God knows I can’t control much else.
I’m grateful I know I’m so fucking helpless and powerless over alcohol.
I’m grateful to start my day here with you all.
Im grateful the Celtics won. And more grateful I don’t watch them ever. It’s too painful.
Im grateful for Al-Anon.
The real gift of gratitude is that the more grateful you are, the more present you become.
Robert Holden.

All of you!
Enjoy today as its all we have
Because, Billy, it is us against them and we must win this war! @erntedank is a soldier fighting for the human race! 
But joking aside, I understand and respect the Buddhist beliefs, and incorporate some of them into my life–though in general I believe that all religions have bits and pieces of Truth that stem from the Old Religion (which might not be the best term to use, but it’s the best I have). I think we’re all connected. We are ourselves and we are the bug that came into the wrong house, though I keep the different ways of how this is possible in consideration without having decided which, if any, I think might be most concrete.
Are we part of “the All” which is experiencing itself in different expressions? Perhaps we all experienced lives as bugs in the past; or maybe “time” doesn’t actually exist and we are actually that bug in the moment, but only aware of one “experience” at a time. Or perhaps… perhaps I should leave it at that for @Dazercat’s sake and not write a book. 
But I think there are always beginnings and endings. We are all born and we all die. If a bug is outside, I generally let it be. If it’s in my house, I offer a quick and merciful death. I don’t like the idea of torturing bugs or prolonging their death, because I do have a firm belief that what we put out into the world, so shall we receive. When I die, I hope it is quick and merciful.
Which leads into something I am grateful for, and that is the frequency of “gratitude” itself and everyone who emotionally bathes in this feeling with purpose and thoughtfulness. I think we send our emotions out into the world. On an individual level, it can impact our family and/or friends; but the whole is made up of many individuals, and I genuinely believe we make the world a better place by intentionally focusing on what we are grateful because the combined harmony of our gathered gratitude frequencies creates a beautiful music which we may not be able to hear with our ears, but our hearts/souls can perceive it.
And I’m grateful that you have integrated a belief system into your life that has made you a better person, and that you share your thoughts and views. The differences in thought and belief are what make conversations interesting and thought provoking, and I’m grateful for that too. Life would be so boring if we all thought and believed exactly in the same way. 
You could always do that thingy where you hide some of it 
.
I prefer the Dyson Cordless method myself. But only when they’re inside. I don’t believe in sucking up bugs outside.
To stay on topic I’m grateful for that.
I knew someone on this site was definitely grateful for when I use the “hide details” feature!!
It’s Eric. Eric is that someone.
