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
Late night gratitude
Grafeful to those who reached out to me the past few days to see if I’m okay and those who thought of me Thank you.
Grateful I logged in this evening, Iv missed being here for a few days and needed nudging out of my isolation. Addiction loves me there.
Grateful this dark cloud of almost passed over my head.
Grateful I’m in bed sober still going strong
Congratulations on your 10 months AF AF M
I loved reading this!!! – I find that once we find peace and love with ourselves and start enjoying our own company then the world is our oyster so to speak. We can truly do anything and not wait for anyone’s accompaniment. And hey – you have all them pets to keep you busy and amused
@erntedank I’m sorry for your heavy heart – grateful that it became lighter as the day progressed.
@KarenKW welcome back my friend – All is not lost from your days sober. You have the right tools to go down this road of sobriety. You are worth a life without addiction. We are here for you. ODAAT
@Soberbilly Happy 71st trip around the Sun!! Love that verbiage – Hope you had a splendid birthday.
@bootz you had me rolling with your post. I would find being stuck with country non-stop country music a punishment also. I hope your vision is ok and its nothing serious.
Happy Sunday my sober friends
What a day!!! I woke up with little energy and that fizzled out very quickly. It’s like I’m charging the battery but only in small segments. I am grateful for my loving mother that brought me fresh juices and a balance of fruits and other herb blends to make sure I didn’t get too much sugar.
I am so grateful for my brother who played cards with me and in effort to keep me from going mad with this exhaustion (I was a truly funny site – totally slap happy and too weak to really engage with sibling banter).
I am so grateful that my sis and brother in law called to check up on me multiple times. They canceled today’s bday celebration – said it would not be the same if I was not with them. I am so blessed with such amazing family.
I am so grateful that I was able to get a good lay down that seemed to add another charge to my battery. Took a hot shower and ended it with a cold shock. Then did my ice facial plunge and topped it off with a ice foot bath. I am determined to recharge my body. I feel fantastic right now but not doing any dancing as to preserve my energy.
I am so grateful that the burst of energy allowed me to tidy up the kitchen, clean my bathroom and do two loads of laundry – just enough to not have these items weighing on my mind.
I am so grateful that I was able to do some solo mediation throughout the day and felt the presence of my higher power today.
I am so grateful for this beautiful community and all the wonderful lessons I’m learning / advise I am getting
Sending much love
@M-be-free49 10 months continuously this calls for a grati-clap Thanks for being you. I’m grateful to be Canadian. I’m grateful for humor and laughter.
I am grateful I stay curious. It takes energy but I get back so much. Nice views. This region is so contrasting.
I am grateful I fell asleep again when I woke up way too early.
I am grateful today is off.
I am grateful alcohol is out of the equation.
I am grateful that apparently my grandmother is okay with moving a last time. Let’s hope she stays this way until Tuesday.
I am grateful I have enough.
Grateful today for a new day, hangoverfree mornings and strong coffee. It’s a good start.
A very happy, warm and joyful birthday to you.
I woke up feeling kinda like a had a hangover despite the fact that I obviously don’t. Was weird but a glorious feeling to remember that I don’t have a hangover and it’s probably a cold or something. Grateful for that.
I’m grateful that the sun is finally shining here in rainy England and I am now motivated enough to get out on my bike before the traffic starts. Would never have been possible when drinking even moderately.
Enjoy your days, friends.
Morning,
I’m grateful to be home and to have slept well in my own bed. There’s nothing like your own bed.
I’m grateful for a short work day due to me cutting a client today.
I’m grateful for fresh eggs from the chickens where I was house sitting.
I’m grateful to be looking forward to our next caravan trip in a couple of weeks.
I’m soooo grateful I don’t drink
Lunchtime gratitude.
@Dazercat I’m happy you enjoy yourself. Having a good time alone IS a blessing
@JazzyS I’m with you in using energy outbursts for keeping up with chores. It’s calming to mentally tick it off … until the next round
@Bootz Your howling coronation fans on paws made me lough out lout. And the “punishment” … hillarious
@Cjp Your happy sounding post made me smile
And to all a thank you for the lights are always on here and there is soooo much inspiration where to find gratitude
Today I’m grateful for sleep. Long sleep. Bäh bäh nightmarish dreams but woke up refreshed. I’m grateful I did the most unloved thing for today right in the morning. I’m grateful I caught both juniorcats for the vet appointment. I’m grateful Schimanski was easy to clean when we arrived, he is a nervous shitshow in the car, poor boy. I’m grateful I managed to feed Missi the worm pill after the vet was not successful. I’m grateful she bite me, not the vet. I’m grateful I have desinfectant and skin antibiotic unction at home to take care of the wound. Not another infection please. Next time I bite back
I’m grateful I made a follow up appountment for the old boy in 2 weeks. I’m grateful I can afford everything my pets need.
I’m grateful I’m resting now and will be soon heading to the kitchen because I’m hungry. I’m grateful I can mostly choose to have only one in person appointment per day. I’m grateful I work from home and can rest when I need it. Have a headache today so I’m double grateful for the possibility to rest.
Today I am grateful for tangible signs my health improvement efforts are paying off. I woke.up feeling great and I know for certain my hike yesterday is the culprit. I am grateful my friend came to church with me yesterday and I will be able to take a deeper dive into learning more about it and whether it is the right fit for me later this week. I am grateful for all of the upcoming art festivals in my area allowing for a sober-good time in the coming weeks. Cant help but be grateful for this buddy

I am so grateful to be hearing the birds chirping outside as i sit on my hot morning coffee
I am so grateful that i was able to jimmy rig the blinds in the basement so that i can let some light in and not feel like im living in the dungeon (why it imtook me so long to do is beyond me).
I am so grateful for my loving family. They are my world. So blessed and lucky to have them by my side.

I am so grateful that im finding out there is more to life than just working - now starting to enjoy the little things.
I am so grateful that i have you all here with me on this journey. You all mean more to me than you could imagine-- thank you
Enjoy this day weve all been given. Sending much love
Good morning grateful friends,
I’m grateful I’m back to being sober and didn’t drink yesterday. I’m grateful I still feel like crap as a reminder how bad alcohol is for me.
I’m grateful for free physical therapy as a perk from my job. I think it’s starting to help a little.
I’m grateful for cat snuggles.
I’m grateful for a job that I usually like even when I’m struggling. It offers flexibility that really helps.
I’m grateful I have therapy later today. I’m still not sure this therapist is a good fit for me, but he takes my insurance so giving him time and effort.

I’m grateful for our rudderless Al-Anon meeting last night. No GR. No calendar for chairing. No literature person. No finance person. I’m grateful we’re just a group of real people with a common problem. The family disease of addiction. I’m grateful for the new phrase I’m learning. It’s the disease of relationships. I’m grateful I volunteered to chair. I’m grateful there were 2 new people and I’m grateful that easily brought me to pick Step 1 as a topic. I’m grateful for new people and getting to go back to Step 1. I’m grateful it’s so important in both my recoveries. I’m grateful God put one of those new people right next to me and I could tell I was telling her story through my story. I’m grateful I could just feel it as I saw her holding in her tears as I was sharing. I’m grateful we chatted after and I’m grateful I had 2 serenity pens that I got to give to both newbies. I’m grateful I feel good about having this profound effect on this person. I may never see her again. But I’ll never forget the pain I saw in her face and the little bit of relief and a bit of a smile when we chatted after when I gave her that pen.
I’m grateful I felt good about that meeting.
I’m grateful I saw the enthusiasm in everyone else’s share about our powerlessness over addiction.
I’m grateful that meeting was a beautiful thing.
I’m grateful for Al-Anon.
“Gratitude enables us to savor the unrecognized good that surrounds us,
no matter what the circumstances…”
