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.

Grateful for the run with my 12 year old daughter and sister yesterday. Running and gossiping in the pouring rain felt so right, like this is the little highs I want to chase in my life now.
Grateful to watch my youngest daughter play tennis. Watching her grow in herself is beautiful.
Grateful for the coffee and cake at my sisters after. That was some good cake!
Grateful for the picnic lunch me and my family shared and to be around a table being together.
Grateful for the toddler snuggles my son gave me yesterday and always being a little ball of light.
Grateful to be writing this, this morning looking forward to a new day.
Hope everyone has a lovely day x

Morning gratitude. Happy Birthday @desert_rose 
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.

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.

Hey OG 
This sounds like a sneaky way to tell us it’s……
I hate it when people do that 
what if I’m wrong 
I’m grateful for you sir and all your wisdom and heart felt gratitude.

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.

I’m grateful to God please help guide me while abstaining from my addictions, just for today. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for daily readings, prayers and gratitude. I’m grateful to be woke by kids and pets wanting to spend time with me before I head home this afternoon. I’m grateful for showers and clean clothes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
May our higher powers help us to be honest.
p.s. Enjoy the moments. Ya you!!
Happy Birthday @Soberbilly

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.

I’m grateful for a slower, sunny, Sunday morning.
I’m grateful that pile o’ adulting paperwork is being plowed through just like recovery - one task at a time. I’m getting to the bottom of that pile! Which is not to say that I’ll ever “finish” recovery, but lo and behold, today I’m back at 10 months. Feels good.
There’s a few weeks of April-May that are the toughest for me. A death anniversary. I’m grateful that the rough edges of my grief are sanded down a little and underneath the love is there and is as strong as ever. Oh, I’m grateful now for all kinds of associations that make me smile and talk to him. A song. Eating creamed honey off the spoon. Tears at times - but of course.
I’m grateful for the spontaneously dark, irreverent humour and deep belly laughs at my Recovery Dharma weekly Inquiry Circle meeting. It still makes me laugh.
I’m grateful for the dog girl’s fine company. She is surely in a new phase of her life, and I will need to start sneaking out to get some exercise as our walks are more strolls - but I don’t think she’ll mind. She’s quite the master of acceptance and is teaching me this for sure right now.
I’m grateful and excited that she and I will both get some level of professional grooming this week. It is badly needed on both accounts. 
I’m grateful for another day.

A new thread! I’m grateful it was opened by long-standing gratidude @I.cant.We.can.
And gratichapter! I’m grateful for you, @Sunflower1.
Oh, I could respond to each post!
And happy belated birthday and 400 days @desert_rose!
Grateful that @KarenKW came right back. You belong here! Not there! 
I’m grateful for @erntedank’s honesty - and acceptance of sadness and cats’ silliness all at once. I’m grateful she has taught me too how to grieve, with the loss of her mum.
And @Pandita too. Hugs, friend. I’m sorry you’re hurting.
Maybe @PinkyP will share some of that delicious-sounding chicken and leek bake 
I’m grateful @Soberbilly failed at taking his life. I can’t imagine a world without him in it. I’m grateful instead to wish him a great big beautiful birthday!
