Happy birthday

I am grateful I stayed sober, when I was hurting and lonely at yesterdays family event. I am grateful for a day of rest to regroup and reflect upon what happened and how I want things to be different. I am grateful I will be able to let it go, at some point.

I’m grateful for a long and restful sleep. For kind of funny dreams. For cats waking me up with purring, tamping and miowing ![]()
I’m grateful for the delicious meal I prepared for brunch at a friend. I’m feeling dizzy, maybe it’s the mixed weather conditions affecting me more than usual. Therefore I’m grateful my friend cancelled the invitation, we will meet on another occasion. I’m feeling with her, her uncle whom she loved very much passed away last night.
I’m grateful for service on TV, today the musical accompaniment is exeptional.
I’m grateful I have a toolbox to deal with emotions. My heart is heavy today, I miss my mum and my ex. I’m grateful I will do a little bit of garden work later and that the kitchen is already done. I’m grateful I started changing seasonal clothing and that worn out cloths go to the bin. Decluttering is necessary and good for my soul.
I’m grateful for tea in abundance, I love tea ![]()
Good morning grateful friends,
I’m grateful today is a new day. I slipped up and reset my timer back to zero. I clearly need to work on coping with stress and anxiety better. I’m grateful I have therapy tomorrow. I’m trying to sort through all my thoughts are feelings. I feel a bit like a failure, but then I’m trying to cultivate some self compassion. I know it’s not uncommon to slip up early in recovery. It doesn’t make me a bad person or a failure. I can learn from this experience and keep moving forward.
I’m grateful I’m only a little embarrassed to admit to drinking. You are all so compassionate and caring, this feels like a safe space.
I’m grateful for an early morning with coffee and my cats.
I’m grateful to have a baseball game to look forward to. We are going to Atlanta Tuesday to see the Red Sox take on the Braves.
Back to OFDAAT.
Good morning Karen! Good you are back and work it OFDAAT. Sending you hugs ![]()

This morning I am grateful for another day to be better, stronger, and more patient. I am grateful for fellow alcoholics fighting the good fight, sharing their experiences and feelings. I am grateful for the technology that gives us instant access to recovery tools. I am grateful for my my new little plants and seeds I planted. My goal is to nurture them like recovery must be. As I’ve often done with recovery, I’ve bought plants and flowers and forgotten about them, been “tòo busy” for them, and neglected them and we all know the results of that. I want to nurture these plants and seedlings like nuturing recovery and vice versa…or it will all go to sh$@. Of this, I am certain. So here goes…off to water and work in my AA toolkit.
Peace and blessings to all!!
Grateful to be house sitting again. It’s made me realise how much I love my partner and appreciate him. I’ve been feeling a bit fed up lately, not just with our relationship but other things too. This time apart has made me feel differently.
I’m grateful for realising when I need to cut down a bit. I’ve dropped 3 clients which will make a huge difference to my week. Hopefully I’ll have energy for gardening and time for walking.
I’m grateful my sweetie of a daughter has been helping out her friends younger sister who has a few problems atm. I’m proud of her.
I’m also grateful my other sweetie of a daughter just messaged to see if I want chicken and leek bake for dinner - yes please.
As always, grateful to be here ![]()
I’m grateful I got up at 4:30 thanks to Benson’s hacking up a lung.
I’m grateful Alice just got on board and is purring and nosing me in the face with her cold wet nose and settling in for some gratitude with me. I’m grateful pets are the BEST! I’m grateful I think 6 is my limit.
I’m grateful my Sancho is at my feet.
I’m grateful if no one moves I can continue my gratitude list.
I’m grateful for all my options on this early morning. Grateful for the sunrise out back to the right. Grateful for a big bright moon the last few mornings walking the dogs down the left side of the house for morning whizzies. I’m grateful I saw the moon peeking in my front door this morning too. I’m grateful to see this bird driving Ms Daisy crazy. My crouching tiger. I’m grateful for the big view outside my double glass sliding doors. I’m grateful for Bert the Bobcat walking through the tee box yesterday. I’m grateful my teriyaki steak and carrot cake were excellent last night and the service was great too. I’m grateful maybe I’ll get that sugar counter going again today. And maybe get my “I’m still on vacation time food cravings,” over with. I’m grateful it was fun. I’m grateful I feel better when I eat better, healthier, and no sugar. I’m grateful my weigh in was good yesterday. I’m grateful for all the deck and pool time I had yesterday. I’m grateful I’m getting use to the fact of doing these things alone. I’m grateful I am even starting to enjoy doing these things alone. I’m grateful Maverick replaced Alice after she left. I’m grateful when he tamps gently on my face and his claws don’t rip my flesh. I’ll be grateful if Benson doesn’t start barking at god knows what or I’m screwed. I’m grateful it’s worth the love ![]()
I’m grateful I got a meeting tonight.
I’m grateful for y’all.

Happy Sunday All.
Today I am grateful:
That my husband went to church…even though I didn’t. I like the conversations about god/the universe that we have. It was a nice space to begin my Sunday.
For waking up in my new house, even if the current state of it gives me a little anxiety.
For my crochet project and my ability to make something warm and cozy for my son.
For the staff taking care of my son when I cannot be with him.
For Sunday breakfast with my husband.
For the chance to put love into a home and bring it to its full splendor.
For this gorgeous spring day.
For my father and his quirks…but also for his hospitality and excitement.
For oatmeal.
For the posts on here that I get to read. I may not respond often, but they have helped me feel connected and grounded during a challenging time.
To be here sober with you today.![]()

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful I slept good last night. I’m grateful I got an early morning walk with my son. I’m grateful the weather is perfect right now, and I can sit on my porch swing, listening to the small airplanes flying overhead, and read gratitude. I’m grateful that 2 of my nephews spent the night last night, and it has transformed back into being fun and exciting, instead of the obligatory babysitting I used to do. I’m grateful I created space for myself from that. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness.![]()
And Happy Birthday @Soberbilly!! Grateful you are here!
Congrats on 10 months!! @eph-M-eral
Evening gratitude. I’m grateful my heavy heart lifted during the day. I’m grateful I enjoyed the nice meal I cooked for brunch for a late lunch and have leftovers for tomorrow and the freezer. I’m grateful my nice neighbours opened the sit-in-front-of-the-house season, it’s always a good time together. I’m grateful my dizziness and headache definitely was because of the weather, it thundered and rained in the afternoon. I’m grateful I spent the afternoon comfy on the couch. I’m grateful I read the newspaper. I often just flip through it and enjoyed an hour of real reading. I’m grateful our moderators here on TS helped me and that I learned something today. I’m grateful I put my comfy lazy sunday Me to bed early as tomorrow morning the next cat(s) are checked in for the annual vet check. Let’s see how many cats I grab - if any. I’m grateful for all I read on here, there is so much wisdom shared ![]()
