Grateful it’s bedtime and hitting the pillow sober.
Just cleaned the bathroom, is this trendy LOL!!
Getting ready for the big wedding day early July, less than a month away, July 8, wow so soon!!!
Work patty planned by Hun, for tommow, for preparing for our day. I like to treat social visits (usually activate me) by thinking of them as Emotions Anonymous meetings where everyone is welcome , we’re all dealing with life and our emotions And we can give each other a boost embracing the atmosphere of love and acceptance
Have a happy 24 clean and sober!!
Ride the craves,. and
Love Absolute will see us through
The Sangha is everything, **that’s us : ) **
Me tooooooooooo!!!
Love this
Thank you!!! So good to hear frombyou- was thinking of you yesterday. How are you doing?
myself.
I’m grateful I don’t have another try in me. I’m grateful I know I’ll go down if I do try. I’m grateful to know that all happens with the first drink
This right here confrims the game is completed Victory!! we made it! Stay present:heart:
Morning,
I’m grateful that my mixed up busy week is almost over. Another busy week next week, I feel that I ‘get through’ the days, one by one, there’s never anything unpleasant or scary happening, just normal everyday stuff. I am just happy when they’re done and it’s ticked off.
Grateful to be able to enjoy the sun this afternoon… Maybe.
Grateful I don’t have to fight off cravings, grateful drinking isn’t on my agenda
Emotions anonymous! I love that!
Well we’ll well, here we are at one of the most grateful times of the year, the start of summer break! And I made it here in good health, good spirits, and sober! And for all of that I am grateful.
I’m grateful to have such a rewarding career that challenges me and keeps me young. I’m already looking ahead to the new school year that starts in September and I will, once again, for the 37th year in a row, be excited to work with kids in schools.
I’m grateful for the breaks. I’m so grateful I get a big chunk of time to turn toward my home and family and attend to parts of my life that are not about my employment.
I’m grateful to face a second summer break and be excited that I get to do it without alcohol. I have skills now to really enjoy my free time and I’m grateful every day that I am on this journey.
I’m grateful for my safe and loving home. Today I will do a bit of cleaning and organizing. I will work in the yard a bit too. Fluffing the best is what my hubby calls it and that’s about right!
I’m grateful that I took time on Friday to go spend with my mother. I had a good chunk of time with her and was eventually able to dig in a bit on the sobriety journey my brother just started. I taught her a lot about both him and me. I was hopeful at the end that she not only understood it but is now better equipped to say things to him that are truly supportive. It’s been a long journey to be able to have that talk and I am happy with how I went about it. I was even able to be firm with her about what I won’t allow around me or around him in this journey. I’m a protective big sister and a fierce defender of those who are working hard to learn new things. This includes her too. It has taken us a long time as a family to get to the place of really working on ourselves. I’m grateful we are finally doing it.
I’m grateful for my loving husband. He is gone for a few days on a volunteer project. And while I enjoy the solitude for a few days, especially at the start of my summer break, I also miss him. He has been very kind and supportive while I have spent a lot of time helping out my brother recently.
I’m grateful for my sister and her loving support as we all work through the stuff.
I’m grateful to live in a cozy home in a nice town where summer is quite delightful. I’m a few blocks from a beautiful beach on a beautiful lake. I’m a few blocks from a beautiful bike trail. I’m a few blocks from a library where I can get anything I want to read or listen to for free. I often think of my sober self as being a young girl who has the time and space to observe and enjoy a lot of life. I get to ride my bike to the beach and read library books just as I did as a kid. Im grateful to have crawled out of the hole of alcohol addiction and found my way to a calm happiness.
Im grateful to have enough resources to care for myself and my family. I recognize every day that mine is not a financial struggle and that I always have choices available to me that are not there for many many people.
I am grateful for good physical health and improvements in it since I quit drinking. Its working!
Im grateful for this resource. I check it several times a day. I celebrate every day and I love to read the shared learning of others. Thank you for your shared stories and keep being amazing!
I wish you all peace.
Ahh, this is a beautiful thing!! 🩷🩷 Riding a bike to the beach is one of the best things in the world, I love this for you. I love all of it!
@i.cant.we.can glad you are recovering from your emotional hangover and do hope that you have a great time on your weekend off
@nowenbrace Congrats on the upcoming nuptials. Wishing you the best and not getting to caught up in the emotional preparation. Im sure it will be a magical day.
I love this and your brother is lucky to have you in his corner. Wishing him the best in his recovery. Have a great start to your sober summer vacation
What a glorious Saturday – wishing every one of my sober friends the very best!!!
I am so grateful to have woken up early for an airport run and already caught up on a lot more than I had expected to today
I am so grateful that I will get most of my work done by 3 pm today so will then be able to vedge out completely – I’m having a hard time standing for too long today.
I am so grateful that I was able to get a few hours of sleep last night so I am not a total zombie today
I am so grateful that my head is hurting but not throbbing out my chest so things are sunnier all around
I am so grateful for taking time out today to do some deep meditation and prayer to center myself and dampen the chaos inside
I am so grateful that I know the whirlwind of emotions and uncertainty are only temporary and will pass.
I am so grateful that my parents are so supportive and I will be having my one on one time with them this week
I am so grateful for this site and the beautiful community – thank you for being you and so awesome
Sending you all much love -
Good morning sober fam,

We can do this one day at a time
My friends! I’ve missed so much, I can’t catch up. It’s been so crazy–but a good crazy, with activities and trying new things and planning trips and playing DND and learning things. I missed you all and wanted to check in briefly with you and with me, to take a minute and recognize how grateful I am for my sobriety. I couldnt do all this stuff–and maybe I could force myself through it hungover and greasy and sad, lord knows I’ve done it before–but I’m having fun. I’m doing activities with strangers and with friends, I’m talking and learning and doing and meeting and it’s FUN. (And stressful, but manageable! Hooray!) I was one of the organizers for our workplace summer event and it was fun, there were a bunch of different NA options, and everything went so well (and it was incredibly stressful, but I managed it! Hooray!) I feel like in previous sober summers I just wasn’t drinking, but now I’m doing and living. Maybe it’s my midlife crisis, but I think it’s just that I feel better in my mind and body now than probably ever before. Well, if someone would put Canada out I would be better than ever, but I’m doing pretty dang well all things considered.
Today I’m grateful I did nearly half of adulting I had planed. I’m grateful I can afford the monthly trip to the supermarket to stock up on everything a household needs. Life became fucking expensive here.
I’m grateful for nice chats with the neighbours, for cats sleeping on me, for yummi leftovers. I’m grateful I found frozen mango chunks at the supermarket. The foodie thread inspired my to try it.
I’m grateful an old friend called and we had a long chat.
I’m grateful I thought about some garden ideas and got lost in the internet about it. It was fun and destracted me from my grumpy about another rainy afternoon.
I’m grateful I’m free to have a late dinner or go to bed, to watch TV or read. I’m grateful for serenity, it is a good feeling.
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today while abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the mens breakfast I attended and helped cook for this morning. I’m grateful that afterwards my sponsor and I sat down and started working on my step ten. I’m grateful my Sister and I took a walk and went for coffee and stopped at the grocery store. I’m grateful I started watching Avatar, The way of Water and will finish it after this post. I’m grateful for the CA meeting I attended this evening and that we studied the big book. I’m grateful that my friend Chris texted me during the meeting to say he wasn’t there because for his five month sober celebration he was at the concert at the Fairgrounds and asked me to come join him for the last band Finger Eleven. I’m grateful I went it was fun. I’m grateful I did numerous meditations today. I’m grateful for humor and laughter, it is the best medicine.
God bless us all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!
Oh, I’m grateful for such a good day! A good sleep, my coffee and walk with you-know-who , and then the day just unfolded in all the right ways.
I’m grateful I see @I.cant.We.can posting away!
I’m grateful it was a productive day. I’m grateful I realized I had zero bandwidth for the paperwork at my desk. I did some errands that needed doing, and then into my garden - planted my tomato seedlings up into the big pots, fixed the space up just perfect. Any gratidudes need a little tomato plant? I’ve some that gratefully need to be re-homed!
I’m grateful for the phone chat with my dear pal, the one with the cabin I went to lots last summer. Grateful I’ll see her soon.
I’m grateful I’m a good tired. I’m grateful I’ll crash tonight with a smile on my face.
I’m grateful for another day.

Good morning grateful friends
I’m grateful for another day sober. And that the cravings have eased up.
I’m grateful the pain is manageable today and the hot shower helped.
I’m grateful for the break in the rain so I can get a walk in today.
I’m grateful to be visiting my mom next weekend. I haven’t seen her since Christmas. This I why I’m trying to move back up to where she is. I’m grateful for the job interview I have there in the 19th. I’m grateful I don’t need the job and can focus on whether I like them. It would be a great opportunity, but I know how important it is to enjoy the people you work with.
Im grateful I’m getting reading glasses so hopefully I can stop getting headaches when I try to read. I have a couple books waiting.
Im grateful for my cuddly cats all sleeping next to me right now. They are all about a lazy Sunday.
Progress not perfection.
Depression lies.
OFDAAT
Grateful
For a lazy rainy Sunday, nothing I have to do do today, the rain is taking care of the garden. Thank you rain.
Grateful that even though we caught a tummy bug we still have much happiness and smiles in our day to day lives and honestly anything is better than a hang over!!!
Grateful I no longer have to suffer through hang overs for the rest of my life.
Grateful for nap time, I think it’s time! Hope you all have a great day!
@soberbilly So glad that your body is fully healed. Excited for your Surfside Serenity – that sounds heavenly
@karenkw so happy that you are doing better today – Happy Sunday to you!! Excited that you will be going to see your mom soon
Happy sober Sunday my lovely friends!!!
I am so grateful for Enjoy Life brand – I did not feel like baking for myself and was able to pick up some double fudge chocolate chip cookies that were delicious and met my dietary needs
I am so grateful that I have a loving mother that woke me up with a phone call at 8 and gave me the motivation to get out of bed
I am so grateful that my mum made some delicious gram flour omelets with mushroom and cilantro filling and a avocado chutney – OMG so damn good and worth being made to get up and move around.
I am so grateful that I am drinking a nice hot cup of coffee at almost noon (past my normal drinking coffee time) - still thinking of making myself a coffee / espresso icecream float in a bit… DAMN these intense sugar cravings… my hormones are everywhere and now that i cant have my pizza and na beer i am leaning towards sweets… i know these cravings only last 1 day so am going with it…
I am so grateful for the rain we are expected to have this week (it has been a very hot and dry season so far)
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer and my HP - without whom i would not be able to continue on this path.
I am so grateful for a relaxing Sunday with endless possibilities
I am so grateful for some self pampering in store for today.
I am so grateful that my headache is not so bad and my jaw is a bit less tight
I am so grateful for my family - being so damn awesome and amazing me more every day with all loving and supportive they are
I am so grateful for ALL OF YOU! love this TS community and grateful for the site for allowing us a safe place to gather.
Sending much love…
