I’m grateful I got my early doctors appointment over with this morning. I’m grateful it now seems like a day off. I’m grateful I’m off every day. But today seems like a day off from the routine of a retired OG. I’m grateful my neurologist was very nice and seemed very experienced in her field. And she gave me as much time as I needed. I’m grateful I got some more dang test and MRIs in the future but all and all nothing to freak out about. Presently.
I’m grateful for all the fresh fruit salads I been making every day. Grateful to see a dove up at the pool having a drink. I’m grateful I’m not having an afternoon drink. I’m grateful I got my meeting to go to at 4.
I’m grateful I got delivery window for tomorrow’s patio table and chair delivery.
I’m grateful last nights topic was all about fear. Fear and worry. It’s all about fear
I’m grateful @Soberbilly
Billy is having a great time with his Madi and Blake. I hope it’s Blake.
I’m grateful when Gratidudes, or dudettes in this case, pop into my mind while I’m driving down the road. I’m grateful I saw a vanity license plate that said NOTM felt like M was in the car with us yesterday after brunch. @M-be-free49 I’m grateful I kept that grin all to myself. Didn’t want to start explaining to wifey about some silly license plate that she probably didn’t even see. I’m grateful for all the Vanity license plates around here it’s a fun mind game sometimes.
I’m grateful I feel a nap coming on so I’ll wrap this up so I can get that nap in and get to my meeting. And grateful to go out to dinner after.
Grateful for saguaro cactus. And grateful I finally stopped to take a pic of My Hero. I posted him on the nature thread. He must be 70 feet tall. I’m grateful for that big boy right by the church where I got to my meeting today. So I get get to see him again.
Grateful to close with a wonderful bit of a share from last nights meeting. I wish I had told her how great I thought it was. And how I will use it. Maybe some other time because I don’t think I’ll forget.
If I can’t hear the birds singing, then I’m not in the present.

Grateful for an unexpected sleep in today which almost made me late for the day. Grateful I managed to do what I needed before heading out.
Grateful for a really nice day. I had a lovely walk early afternoon and then got some stuff done, ticked off the to do list.
Grateful I’ve just got back into looking at my family tree, there’s only so much you can see for free, I’m at the point where I need to start paying for it. Grateful I’ve decided to go for it again. I’ve got a lot of it done but can always keep adding more people.
WOW!!! Today I have 9 days
I am grateful beyond measure My alcoholism had me spiraling out of control to the point that I ended up having emergency surgery in April I almost died if I wasn’t at work I wouldn’t be here right now it made me reflect on all of my decisions I’ve made these past two years I want sobriety more than anything else more importantly I want to be alive I could not say that a few months ago I am thankful for this community it is phenomenal and so is everyone who joins and is apart of it Today’s message confirms it “The harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph”
I’m grateful for the sun and birds, chirping away tonight after rain and more thunder.
I’m grateful for all of the thought-provoking posts and conversations we have here. I’m grateful I let myself care about the humans behind our little pics, and let myself be cared for too. I’m very grateful for this community and this thread.
I’m grateful for laughter and companionship too. Here and IRL, in all kinds of surprising ways! I love that you thought of me with the license plate, @Dazercat! Me? Well a few weeks ago when I was at an in person mtg for work, there was this guy presenting at the front. With huge feet. And I thought, “no, Dazer’s boats can’t be that big…” and I suppressed a little giggle. I don’t do so well in boardrooms!
I’m grateful for the things I take for granted now, thanks to my recovery. Bumping into an acquaintance on the path while walking the dog girl. Answering the door on a Sunday afternoon to a neighbour knocking. I shudder to think how, in the before time, I’d have been wondering if they could tell I’d been drinking…
I’m grateful for the things I don’t want to take for granted. Slow walks with the dog girl pretty much at the top of the list. She just sighed, so we should probably head out for the nighttime pee. Maybe sniff an extra hydrant or two…
I’m grateful for another day.
Grateful for our milestones! 400 days @Cjp! and 1000 days @Sunflower1! And @LALA222’s 9 days!
I’m grateful for another day sober (5 months minus 4 days in the middle)
I’m grateful the pain I woke up with is starting to ease up. I’m pretty sure the chronic pain and headaches are rooted in my depression and anxiety. There’s nothing structural wrong - it’s tight muscles. I don’t know how to relax.
I’m grateful for hot showers and heating pads.
I’m grateful I have enough. Stable housing, food in the fridge, a reliable car.
I’m grateful for cats and coffee in the morning. I get up early enough that I don’t have to rush to get ready. I can take my time.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be tired AF after group therapy in the evening so here some early afternoon gratitude.
I’m grateful for mantras. I tried last night to listen to one and it made me fall asleep. Thank you Eric @Dazercat for loving mantras, your enthusiasm rubbed off on me
I’m grateful the construction site is in the final stage. They asphalted the street this night, I was up from 1:30 to 4:20 and thought the heavy machines vibrate through my house any second. I’m grateful for a fresh road cover without potholes. I can catch up on sleep with a nap if I want. to.
I’m grateful for adulting. Office work. Chores. I feel relieved and sad at the same time, I handed in the last documents that arrived last week to close my late mums inheritance. Love you mum.
I’m grateful for therapy. A little much today. I discussed the personal questions I’m chewing on with my therapist today. As long as I focus on myself and be kind, aware and compassionate the things I come up with don’t sound as dumb as I thought. I’m grateful I’m completely honest with my therapist and don’t hide thoughts, desires and emotions. I’m grateful I don’t try to be “socially accepted/acceptable” in therapy, just honest, respectful and focused on myself. I never before was so honest, it feels like a milestone and I feel save and at peace. Maybe a bit insecure. With practice the feeling of security and self- confidence will grow. I’m grateful I ask for help and find it. That’s a precious gift
Good early morning Sober family,
Grateful we survived our trials of addiction-suffering, grateful to be on the path with you all.
Grateful for time w Sponsor yesterday and really felt the Sangha big time feeling loved , Ty Lordy

Definitely grateful for the chances I have been granted, thankful for the new life I have been given. Thankful for no longer being mad and filled with anger at the world and I am thankful for my family
Welcome Jay.
This gratitude business is a great new addiction for me. I’m grateful I plan my days around gratitude instead of my next drink.
It works if you work it.
Imma have to steal that from you Owen. I am a teef! That sums me up,well partially,lol. I’m grateful for my loving family. For being lucid and present. What an amazing gift is my sobriety. I’m grateful my bro’ Warren and I are going to see former colleagues who we both worked with and shared a bond with for 25 years. We were graced with an unusual workplace in that it really felt like an extended family. As my friend Michael often says,Blessed be. Namaste God guru and Self are One
Good morning!
Grateful I woke up and I breathed all night without thinking about it.
Grateful for my comfy bed and down blankets and pillows
Grateful for the geese that gave their feathers although I’m sure it was unwillingly now that I think about it.
Grateful for my daughters frog themed bedroom, my favorite room in this house. I found the best green paint I love it and grateful for the green leafy wallpaper that makes me feel like I am in the Amazon.
Grateful for Froggert and his new lamp he will be happy.
Grateful I woke up at 4am and couldn’t sleep so I meditated and fell back to sleep.
Grateful @KarenKW her pain is a bit better today and her depression is lifting
Grateful for the little laughs I get from this thread
Grateful for this beautiful miraculous world that I am present for, no hang over! And the moon. The moon is beautiful.
Grateful I am showing up at the gym although I am going to listen to my body and take it easy. Progress not perfection
I’m grateful to finally get out here on my deck and find some gratitude.
I’m grateful for tears of joy and happiness when my DIL sent pics of the collage she made my son for his ten year sober birthday today. Ten fucken years in a row he’s been sober. I cry just writing it. And those fuckers are giving me credit for not giving up on him. The nerve . I’m grateful I can remember his sober date because it’s the day after our anniversary. I’m grateful I’ll see him tomorrow in Cali. I’m crying again just thinking about it. I’m grateful I have dark sunglasses that will hide my tears. I’m so grateful for him and his family. Without sobriety I guarantee none of this would have happened. I’m actually grateful for his dual diagnosis. I’m grateful I’ll never forget the day he said, “Dad, I’m tired of waking up locked down in psych wards not knowing where I am.” I guess 3 times a charm. I’m grateful that last psych ward was called Aurora. I’m grateful my grandmother’s name was Aurora. My maternal grandmother, that basically raised me. Coincidence Miracle I’m grateful I’m going with miracle on this one.
I’m grateful the rest of my day and last evening is/was going shit. But I’m so grateful I can share this with my home thread friends. I’m hoping this will make me feel better. Because no matter what else is going on in my world. My boy’s got 10 years clean and sober. And no one can take that away from me.
Thank you.
Where’s the fucken tissues
You have to see the miracles for there to be miracles

I’m grateful I accepted my HOA Board’s request that I take a position, right before a massive shit storm errupted in our little, and generally quiet, community.
This has allowed me to take a “life test” in regards to what I’ve learned about leading people, communicating, and not reacting but instead responding.
This has all been rather tiring, but I am happy with my performance overall thus far.
I hope it’s Blake.
felt like M was in the car with us yesterday after brunch. @M-be-free49 I’m grateful I kept that grin all to myself. Didn’t want to start explaining to wifey about some silly license plate that she probably didn’t even see. I’m grateful for all the Vanity license plates around here it’s a fun mind game sometimes.
