Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for coffee and sunrise too @I.cant.We.can , and for a job that pays the bills. I’m grateful for a wonderful long weekend full of family- even talked on the phone with both of my brothers, which is very rare. And they were good, fun conversations which I am truly grateful for. I’m grateful we have leftover BBQ from yesterday, so dinner is already taken care of. I’m grateful I can go for a walk, or some other type of exercise instead of making dinner, if I feel like it. I’m grateful my parents can travel, and are leaving today in their RV with 4 dogs😬. I’m grateful they do what they enjoy in retirement. Everyone have a great day❤️

I’m glad I’m alive. I wanted to commit suicide yesterday, but I didn’t. I’m glad for my boyfriend who helped me in the most bad times. I’m glad for my dogs who are with me as well in my bad times.

Good morning!
Grateful for my moms boyfriend who helped me put up one side of the fence. Grateful for all he does for my mom and our family. He is Godsent!!
Grateful that although I woke up with a sore throat I had a great TV show to watch this morning I finished an episode of Shrinking…it’s SO good! @Dazercat grateful you took the time to share that with me. Just what I needed this morning as my body is telling me to rest.
Grateful that my in-laws insisted on staying with us tonight so I made sure to finally finish some home renovations I had been putting off.
Grateful that because we are sick they are no longer coming 
jk I love them to pieces. I’m grateful for such awesome in-laws whom I love but just grateful I don’t have to deep clean the place.
Grateful the rain allowed me to pull up so many weeds I was still seeing weeds when I closed my eyes and went to bed.
Grateful I now spend my time doing things that are productive instead of nursing a hangover all day long. Grateful my kids never have to see that side of me. Grateful that that side of me is in the past.
Oh yes must post backyard update lol I get as much done as baby will let me.

I had a bunch of bugs that looked like this last year–the ones I had were squash bugs 
and they ate all my squashes and now I can’t plant squashes for a year or two until these little bastards forget where I live. Booooooo

I’m grateful I had a wonderful, productive long birthday weekend! I’m grateful to me for making myself Ropa Viejo and getting fried plantains and tres leches for my birthday dinner, I’m grateful to my bf for not making anything too big of a deal. I’m grateful I got all my planting done (almost) and grateful I didn’t get sunburned. I’m grateful for a puppy play date with my brother, grateful for me for smoking a pork butt that turned out awesome, grateful I did my running even though it was mini staycation. Grateful to me for being active and not gaining weight even though I ate a big ass piece of cake every day! Hooray! Grateful I make my weird face jewelry with the things I bought on our trip to WI. There’s still a lot to do around the house but I think there’s just always a lot to do, so I’m not going to sweat it and be grateful for my wonderful, loving, snuggly comfortable not perfectly clean home.

You crack me up – glad you had a productive day and so grateful for your sense of humor.
@pinkyP glad to have you back. Yes – I can relate to being overwhelmed by the number of posts. It’s more important that you come here to post your gratitude’s than catching up on everyone else’s. I do hope to see you more often 
@karenkw so glad to hear that today is a bit better and your therapy is now weekly – small steps to a healthier you – YEAH.
@nastya_is_fighting So glad to see you here and fighting for yourself. Have you reached out to any helplines in your area? I am happy that you have someone to help you but you may also need to talk to a professional. Keep showing up for you! You are so young and have so much to live for.
OH NO – that’s a funny statement but so sad
Tuesday morning gratitude’s with my sober friends
I am so grateful that everything is tolerable today and I will have another amazing day!
I am so grateful that I woke up this morning from a crappy night of on / off sleeping and decided nope not yet - went back to bed till 8:30 cause I could.
I am so grateful that I am getting work done with my hot cup of coffee and able to slowly catch up here too… starting off with my favorite thread!
I am so grateful that it is a hot day but I may go to the pool today (watch out now - the swimming bug may be hitting me hard - it’s been 3 years since I’ve been able to get in the water). SUPER excited - had to purchase another bathing suit last night 
I am so grateful that my new reading prescription sunglasses have arrived and my friend will drop them off later tonight
I am so grateful that I have meditation and prayer with me and the ability to do this all day for calm and serenity. So grateful for my higher power for the guidance into a purer life and bringing hope back into my mind and actions.
I am so grateful for my amazing family - Love that we can have our ups and downs but in the end we are all here for each other
I am so grateful for this loving community and all the welcome and support that every one gives so freely. You all ROCK and I love you all for it.
Have a fantastic sober day my lovely friends - Sending much love

I’m grateful I don’t wake up every morning with a splitting headache. 
I’m grateful it’s not from drinking.
I’m grateful to try and find some gratitude anyway because that’s what I do.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful I found out it was my fault the recyclables didn’t get picked up this week. I made a mistake 
it’s next Monday they get picked up. I was 
sure it was this week. Grateful I found the email with the every other weekly pick up schedule before I called them.
I’m grateful for my meeting last night.
I’m grateful Minnie finished her breakfast this morning after I reminded her a couple of times. 
I’m grateful I don’t have the chills anymore just the headache.
I’m grateful Sarah tagged me about the show Shrinking and she loves it. @pdebs
I’m grateful for my big beautiful deck in the pines.
I’m grateful I haven’t felt like doing shit all week and that’s ok. I’m grateful I’ve done the bear minimum, take care of my share of the pets and go to meetings. And my exercise walks. I’m grateful this too shall pass.
I’m grateful to see Daisy’s butt bashing into Minnie’s face as she walks by Minnie. I’m grateful Minnie is such a good sport. I’m grateful the wife kicked Daisy out of the bedroom at 4:30 because she was chasing Minnie around and I couldn’t move because of my headache.
I’m grateful I think that’s enough gratitude to get me going.
Grateful for y’all.
Oh and grateful I didn’t have to watch the Celtics loose last night because I had a meeting and by the time I got home I could tell it was too late. Sorry Karen.
Gratitude in addiction recovery can also help people recognize the progress they are making, no matter how small, and encourage them to continue down this path. It will keep them from getting discouraged along the way if they can continue to look on the bright side and be thankful for what they do have. For most people, this more positive mindset can be a key to their long-term success.

Too much to catch up, I’m too tired.
Today I’m grateful for the best false monday ever.
Me personal I’m grateful for:
- Adulting. Doing things I don’t want and beating procrastination. All went well. Overthinking was unnecessary
- Joy. I enjoyed working today
- Satisfaction. After 5 years a 1st instance court decision arrived. I’m utmost grateful for all the people who contributed to keep ARCHE NOAH alive.
- Being the last dinosaur. I’m the one and only person in the world who accompanied the above from dusk til dawn. And I’m still there, cherished and vigilant. I’m grateful I am a person who stands behind her responsibility although I’m long released from my management duties
- Friends ans colleagues with whom I can talk about above and we are all grateful
- I bought battery garden equipment today. I will share what it means to me
- Therapy. I found words to describe what’s going on in me
Me on the outside I’m grateful for:
- That ARCHE NOAH got a huge step forward in closing a dark, harmful and financially draining chapter that has no impact on the presence and today all day life as it is obsolet, just a juridic pain in the ass, but a massive
- marketing offers that meet my needs
- all the blessings I savor from life
- A friend got a business offer she never would have dreamed of in her situation. She had a hard time and made peace with her situation. I’m grateful I was able to make peace. Without making peace and surrender she would not be able to - maybe - take this chance. She must think about it because it will put her life upside down.

@Sunflower1 Nice to back on here with you my friend. We have always seemed to post at similar times for which I am very grateful. I find it connects us in a way.
@Nordique appreciate you liking my posts frequently. Then I know that you are around. I think you are getting close to a pretty sweet sober birthday. 
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today and helping me follow his will while abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends,TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for recovery, the steps and the spiritual principles they instill. I’m grateful for the cheap paper placemat I took from my church and hung on my wall a few months ago now.
I’m grateful that by the grace of God, somedays, somehow I get to come home see that and think NAILED IT!
May our higher powers teach us humility.
p.s. You are where you’re meant to be. Ya you!!

Thanks Brian
I appreciate you saying so. It really is a moment to moment battle with me still.
I am in a war with my mind and im determined to win this bitch … slept for 15 min tinight and am wide awake- going to do some PT excercises- watch comedy and take some aleve (hope itll minimize the pain)- the comedy is already helping (thanks @Dazercat )so hopefully ill laugh myself to sleep 
I do appreciate your posts and can feel your connection to the higher power. How was your first day at Canadian Tire? Side note- As a kid i always thought they only sold tires and then went with my parents as a teenager and had my mind blown…still have a juicer from 20 years ago.

It was a pretty good day. Lots of paperwork to sign, videos to watch, including quizzes and instructional health and safety stuff, a tour and introductions to co-workers. They sell sooo much stuff, the store I work at is very big and pretty new. They tore down the old small one maybe five years ago. Tomorrow is when the actual out on the floor training will start. I’m grateful the people seem pleasant. I’m grateful if they arent I can pray for them and remembe I’m there to work.
Thanks for asking.
You’re determination will help alot. Remeber, lots of self care and and keep your eye open for stress, learning how to manage stress heathily for me is a massive part of my recovery.
Ok I’m up way too late. I’m grateful to try a sleep mediatation now and some prayers.
p.s. If you’re reading this you are in my prayers. Ya you!!

Morning,
I’m grateful for a lovely sleep, just waking up with a tea right now.
I’m grateful I went for a 7k walk after work in the forest, it was beautiful, I hardly saw another person.
I’m grateful to have cut down on my work, it was my last day with a client yesterday, she gave me a card with some lovely words in, it’s nice to be appreciated.
Grateful to be at the place where I put myself first work wise. I have a couple of clients who are showing to be a little demanding. I’m grateful to do what’s best for me.
Grateful to be here

Grateful summer is here. Grateful my guest cat comes to comfort and sit with me, when I am sad and going through some stuff. Grateful for the play time with her, makes me laugh every time when she jumps to catch with a big “chomp”. I am grateful I have shelter and food, a job that pays for all of it and I generally like. I am grateful for people that miss me and come looking for me, when depression hits and I retreat. Grateful I have enough.
