You know what im super grateful for? I am grateful to be free of the chain to nicotine. I have just passed the 2 week mark and its just a distant memory already. What marvelousness awaits us once we get our mind clear and start to get some health!
I am grateful for 442 days of giving my life and myself a real chance. I am grateful that i got to do my very first panel with H & I this week with Narcotics Anonymous. Im grateful i got to share my story with someone who was just embarking on his journey into recovery and it made me realize i dont even truly know my storyā¦it was a real eye opener. Ive spent the last 14 months getting the cogs of life turning, the real mechanical of putting a life back together (job, house, car, paperwork, legal) and now i feel the time has come to start REALLY looking at the gooey, sticky, mushy, and messy part of recovery that will allow myself healing and growth. Boy do i crave growth. And im so grateful that today i feel up for the challenge!! When we started the panel Wednesday night my partner inspired me so much in the way he is able to talk about himself and his story. I am grateful for this call to action.
Im grateful for NA speaker tapes on youtube to listen to during work.
You know what else im pretty grateful forā¦i spent much of this last week triggered, we had a housemate relapse and you just never know how itll effect youā¦but when i get triggered im really grateful, honestly, because it shows me my weak areas and alllows me to focus and strengthen my recovery.
Im grateful for my daughters, for the resolve they give me, especially at 4 in the morning when i dont want to go to work. I wabt to be (and i am!) a woman that is capable of holding a job, having a career, and someone that consistently shows up. Im so grateful for the purpose and drive they give me.
Very grateful for this second chance at life!!
Hi,
Today Iām grateful for having a big old rant and letting people know how Iām feeling. Iām grateful I got upset so they could see how important it is to me.
Grateful to be able to move on once Iād said what I needed to say.
Grateful for the chance to relax in the garden after work and read my book. Grateful for my friend who gave me 3 bags of books.
Grateful something just got cancelled for the morning so I donāt have to get up with the lark - I probably will but I donāt have to 
Iām grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while following his will and abstaining from my addictions. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that I chaired an AA meeting this morning before work and it was a third the size of normal so everyone got a decent amount of sharing time. Iām grateful that work was quiet for a large portion of the evening and I could get things done uninterrupted by customers. Most of the afternoon it was too busy with questions to get much of my main job done, which is stocking shelves. Iām grateful it was a productive day and wasnāt hard, I had fun, my life really is what I make it. Iām grateful I got a new expensive and comfy pair of steel toed safety shoes for free today. Iām grateful I treated myself to a delicious chicken caesar salad from a restaurant on the way home from work at 9:15p.m. Iām grateful to be in my bed and hope I can fall asleep soon and rest well, a little sore and I have to be at work for 8a.m. Iām grateful tomorrow should be a great day. I work five hours, then go for an hour drive with my sister to see our Cousin for the first time in ten years and get to meet her six month old daughter and see our Aunt and Uncle. Then I have the honor of being the speaker for my friends 8 year celebration at CA to finish the day. Iām grateful that I beleive my expectations for tomorrow are healthy. Iām grateful for music, exercise, music and creativity. Iām grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they instill. Iām grateful its sleep meditation oāclock.
May our higher powers grant us wisdom.
p.s. Recovery looks good on you, keep it up. Ya you!!
Morning gratitude. Iām grateful for a restful sleep and no nightmares, my dreams were only a bit weird and partly even nice. It makes such a difference waking up lighthearted 
I donāt know whatās the matter between Missi and Tiglat, maybe still the smell, but Iām grateful he is obviously restored because she is hissing, he is bitching and they are both growling and brawling with each other. Iām grateful this too shall pass.
Iām grateful Iāll start the day with chores and office work, unpopular things first. Iām grateful I can decide without pressure or stress about continuing mowing today. I will listen to my body and my inner voice if Iām capable to mow two days in a row.
Got to go, hear a cat puking.
Grateful day 110 af

Grateful for a brisk morning and a so far no plans weekend ahead. Grateful for a delightful poem about the life of a carrot a friend send to me yesterday. It was generated with ChatGpt in the style of Dr. Seuss. Made me belly laugh - my kind of humour. Grateful for connection and curitosity. Grateful I can forgive myself for the days I am neither. Every day is a new opportunity to make it better. Grateful for all of you

Good morning friends,
Iām grateful for my porch swing, and to be able to enjoy my coffee and listen to all the birds singing while I swing. Iām grateful that today is my 18th wedding anniversary. Iām grateful we both forgot (again 
), and thatās ok. Iām grateful we never did need big or fancy plans to celebrate anything. Iām grateful I can order groceries online, and pick them up, saving me from having to go into Walmart. Iām grateful for the phone conversations with both of my brothers last weekend, and that I will send a text to both today just to try and keep communication open. Iām grateful for recovery podcasts for my work commutes. Iām grateful I am out of the grip of alcohol, and if I keep working at it, I will never have to go back to that.
Iām grateful I was all caught up here 
Happy Porcelain Anniversary Sunflower 
BTW
Have you got any idea how hard it is to find a cute Happy Porcelain Anniversary Gif? 
Well unless you can make your own and I donāt. This is the best I can do. I gratefully enjoyed looking for you. Happy youāre here.
And I am grateful I am still caught up.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Hahahahahaha love it! Thank you!
HAPPY 18th Anniversary
@dazercat - so true on limited gifās for this particular celebration
hereās my attemptā¦
So beautiful to hear this and I am in full agreement that getting to the point where you can comfortably do things on your own and enjoy your own company because you want to is pure growth (I love your term of being whole again). Hope your cat is ok.
@Dakotahjae ā amen to being free of nicotineās grip. Feel your positivity off of your post!
@PinkyP good on you for standing up for yourself and your feelings ā glad you were able to let it go once you processed it. 3 bags of booksā¦ thatās awesome ā have fun with the reading!
Good morning my beautiful sober friends - happy Saturday!
I am so grateful that its Saturday and I feel somewhat relaxed. Crappy night (was painful and overly exhausted - if you know what I mean) - feel like everything is manageable today and these days that is AWESOME
I am so grateful for one event down and preparing for tomorrowās festival. Tomorrow will start at 6 am and hopefully we will be back by 7 pm 
It is an intense festival but so worth it. Luckily I know that my sister will be there to help us so I may be able to take a break.
I am so grateful that iām cozy inside getting my work done and not out in this crazy heat (How I used to thrive in the heat before and now i stay clear)
I am so grateful that I am finding time to meditate and pray even if my schedule gets hectic
I am so grateful that my coffee is getting cold so Iām about to get a nice hot cup now
I am so grateful for my family and their unconditional love / support
I am so grateful for this TS Community and my new connections!
Have a wonderful weekend my sober friends - sending much love
Iām grateful

Early evening gratitude. Iām grateful to read about so many different stories and lifes here. Iām grateful it helps me to reframe resentments, overthinking, wishful thinking, fantasy- zoomies (is there a thingy like your head going nuts like cats on their 5 minutes?)
Iām grateful I took it easy today. A bit of chores done, a lot of money spent on grocery, a sensational delicious lunch cooked (posted it on the foodie thread). Iām grateful I fetched a friend and her mum from the airport. It was a nice chat on the way home. Iām grateful I noticed the heat outside and decided to stay inside. No garden work today. Iām grateful this thoughts and decisions are not stressing me anymore. What a difference, with my ex I would have been fat and lazy again, not functioning properly. Iām grateful he is no longer there judging on me without any interest on why I do/donāt whatever. It makes me sad that his attitude creeped so deeply into my soul I have to work actively over and over again to overwrite it with kindness and compassion for myself. Iām grateful Iām aware of this pattern, it doesnāt upset me anymore, today it makes me sad, I want to move on but obviously there is still grieving and letting go to do before I can move on.
Wow, this post went in an unintended direction as I typed. Iām grateful for learning from you all, for our sharing, for this outlet and the fellowship in this place.
Hahahahahahahaha! Thank you for the laugh!
