Yes – hope that they are nothing to freak out about!!! Wishing you good health. WHOA – 10 years of sobriety for your son is awesome – glad you get to celebrate it with him tomorrow. PS – I would also go with a miracle :wink @lala222 So grateful that you survived the ordeal and it led you here to us. Congrats on 9 days… keep the days coming @KarenKW congrats on your upcoming 5 months!!! I do hope that you are right and the pain is rooted in the depression and anxiety and do hope that once you work through this the pain will go away! Yeah to the pain starting to ease up @jayp I’m so glad that you are doing so well and found your way to the Gratitude thread!
Tuesday afternoon gratitude my lovely sober friends…
I almost did not come here today but hey that would only make things worse because no matter what I should always be able to conjure up some gratitude
I am so grateful for finally getting my car in to get 2 new tires and an alignment (front two were completely bald)
I am so grateful that when no one picked up the phone to collect me, I walked 45 minutes and got in my 2 miles + walk in for the day. I had to do this with my backpack (thought it would only be 1.5 hours but wasn’t waiting for 5 hours) – my back was hurting extra by the time I got home
I am so grateful that my brother is taking me to watch the new Flash movie tonight. He gets free premiere tickets every once in a while.
I am so grateful that my mom made me some delicious veggies and lentils for lunch
I am so grateful that I picked up some delicious healthy vegan snacks for the movies (can’t eat any of the items at the concession stand)
I am so grateful that my family is so beautiful and supportive!
I am so grateful that I will take time to meditate / pray which I’m hoping will help me deal with my anxiety and dealing with the pain
I am so grateful that I have you all here on the TS Site – Thank you for being so awesome!!!
Happy Tuesday everyone - grateful that I did come here and write out my gratitude’s – sending much love
I’m grateful to God for guiding me through another day while following his will and abstaining from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I got to have lunch and a visit with my parents today. I’m grateful I get to attend work in the morning. I’m grateful that I went to three meetings and volleyball today. I’m grateful my days off can be filled with activities like this. I’m grateful that after volleyball my friends and I sat in the shade on the church lawn and just chatted while we cooled down and caught our breathe. It’s hard to play volleyball with only three of us. I’m grateful I saw my sponsor and made plans for Saturday to start step ten after our, roughly monthly mens breakfast. I’m grateful I got groceries this afternoon for myself and took some money and a list from a neighbor who just got out of the hospital and couldn’t go herself. I’m grateful I got to volleyball early and sat on the church lawn and meditated, it was beautiful. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful to read about lots of milestones.
May our higher powers remove our defects.
p.s. If you worked your recovery today give yourself a hand. Ya you!!
I’m grateful to be putting out some gratitude at the end of this day… way better than putting back a glass (or 19) o’ jet fuel…
Some matters today had me super displeased. Like, f-bomb-dropping, finger-pointing, name-calling displeased. I’m grateful I did all that in the privacy of the dog girl’s and my home. (She took my side, just sayin’…) I’m grateful I can learn to deal with situations and peoples’ actions, even firmly when needed, instead of freaking out on the people and becoming a not-so-stellar person myself. Better, anyway…
I’m grateful all of the above didn’t derail my evening. I got behind on work, sure, dealing with the shit-fest. But I think I used to be addicted to stress, and I’m grateful I can learn to deal with that too. I’m grateful for the sunny evening, my walk with the dog girl, the tasty salad rolls I made, the call with a pal.
And for bedtime. Regular, sober, bedtimes.
I’m grateful for another day.
I’m grateful to see @I.cant.We.can’s mug! and his other mug, lol! Belated congrats on the job, friend.
Yep, one big “life test” today, hey @Chiron? That Board is damn lucky to have you - as lucky as we are.
I’m grateful @Nowenbrace mentioned that book. Sounds like one for the list!

I am so damn grateful for the clarity i have with being sober (how the hell was i blindly living for so long)
I am so grateful that ive decided to dissolve my bakery business. I will need talk to the grocery stores to give them enough notice but my heart feels better just knowing i wont be doing this for much longer (my body needs my attention right now and i have enough) i an still working at the restaurant full time and took on another accounting client so good to let something go. Im grateful just thinking about it i feel relief.
I am so grateful that we went to see the new Flash last night. I thought it was a good movie but my brother wasnt impressed. This Premiere was only 1/2 hour away so im grateful that we were back by 10.
I am so grateful for getting my consultation appointment with specialist to explain my test results- its mud July. I am making changes in my life and diet and mentality - whatever the outcome - i will be able to handle it
I am so grateful that i was put on my path to recovery by my HP when i was - not sure ud be here now if that hadnt happened- in the nick of time
I am so grateful that i have meditation/prayer, the support of my family, this loving community and my HP as my tools for survival.
Make this day count! Sending much love
Grateful for 10 days of gratitude
What a beautiful post @Dazercat, grateful your son has 10 years of sobriety and a sober dad who loves him so much he is so blessed. Grateful for @JazzyS feeling relief from letting something go that has ran it’s course but what a cool achievement you accomplished, so many would only dream of doing that so, way to go!!
Grateful Fiance took the kids to the gym and I have two whole hours to get things done at the house BY MYSELF ahhh, blue moons happen more than this does.
I’m grateful he works so hard for our family.
Grateful that although he did not agree that he likes the house (what’s not to like, it has a rope swing, a tree house, a fire pit, room for a garden, a lazy River, a park across the street, and you guessed it, a screened in porch with a porch swing) phew, he has agreed to put in an offer. It’s 20k lower than asking but I will be happy he at least agreed to try and he is for once meeting me halfway.
Grateful for his brilliant mind. He remembers everything.
Grateful he never gives up on me even when I beg him to.
I’m grateful I don’t have to mow my own lawn. Even of they wake me up two hours before my alarm. grateful it doesn’t come with a side of hangover or jonesing.
Also grateful Miss Kitty is eating her morning grub. Sometimes she will turn her nose up at food until I feed her something else, even if its the same food I fed her earlier in the day. Old kitties are picky.
Edit for typo. Grateful for spell check 92.7% of the time.
Lol no I see how funny that sounded the lazy River is down the street, it has an HOA which is a pain…. but I forgot the best part! I huge creek in the backyard with fish in it!
Me too,definitely. What a share wow @Dazercat. I’m proud of your son too. Do you have extra tissues? I feel teary,but it could be the spicy leftovers I’m eating. Probably not. Thank you for this,really. I have button popping pride for my son and daughter as well. I’m grateful I uncovered a hindrance/defect to work on. I’m grateful I stopped playing the blame game. I’m so grateful for the love I’ve been experiencing the last 3 days from Leslee & company. I’m grateful I just noticed my response is number 666 on this thread. Now i can’t stop thinkin about songs with the word devill in the title.
I’m grateful for my mentor/sponsor. I’m grateful I’m a 12-step Buddhist,tip of the hat to @Nowenbrace. I am grateful for the gratidudes and dudettes. I’m grateful the sun is shining. My son called last evening and said the sky was black in NYC due to Canadian forest I’m fucking grateful to be alive. Finally,pant pant,I am grateful I was in a teddy bear parade with my Madi at her vpk. Man I am dipped in it,y’know.
Thank you my friend - yes - I feel so free. I am glad that I was able to accomplish that in my lifetime and now have so many gluten free / vegan / sugar free dessert recipes to keep my family’s sweet tooth fed Who knows - i may finally land a distributor that wants to run with the recipes and I’d be ok with that (just no more long as days for me standing on my feet).
WOW - the house sounds absolutely amazing - sending you good vibes that your offer gets accepted!
I’m grateful I’m packed and ready and waiting.
I’m grateful I can be proactive and have an hour to sit around the house and wait for wifey.
I’m grateful my way isn’t the best way or only way. It should be Just stepped in a should
I’m grateful my son is on his plane and it already took off. I’m grateful they will get there first.
I’m grateful for the huge dump I took at the meeting last night. I feel ten ponds lighter. I’m grateful I really got some shit off my chest. I’m grateful I cried. I’m grateful these people get it. I’m grateful I’m not alone. I’m grateful for the hugs I got. I even got a lunch invite with this OG, I use to be afraid of, at a new BBQ joint. He’s struggling just like me but with his son. And he can’t control his grown up son’s drinking either. Go figure
I’m grateful another older couple gave me a hug. And I was able to wish them luck as they are also going to California to visit their alcoholic daughter for the first time in……. Forever……
I’m grateful I told the I’m bringing THINKC with me.
I don’t care for the misery loves company, but I’m grateful I’m not alone. #Fuckthisfamilydisease
I’m grateful I found the time to come here and read some of y’all’s gratitude. I’m grateful it takes work around here sometimes to get caught up. I’m grateful I can’t get enough of y’all’s gratitude.
I’m grateful the pets are all at the vet for boarding. I’m grateful it went as smooth as possible. I’m grateful nobody got under the king size bed. Even the spray bottle doesn’t work anymore to get a cat out. I’m grateful I didn’t have to bring out the vacuum cleaners.
I’m grateful I’m feeling much better today. Currently. Im grateful I showered and shaved. I’m grateful I don’t have chronic pain and my prayers go out to all that do. And grateful you guys with the pain are the real sober warriors around here imo.
I’m grateful my son is so excited about his first 4 Alarm family Griswold get together. I’m grateful there will be some Family Vacation laughter. I’m grateful we all love our movie and tv quotes.
Although I practice gratitude and daily recognise so much I am gratefull for, I have not writ it down.
This will be a short one.
I am gratefull I am being kind to myself and not putting pressure on myself for not keeping up with my strict schedule.
I’m gratefull I know I have the strength to get back to the schedule when I have recharged.
I am gratefull to recognise that even trying to keep up with it when I need to be gentle with myself would be rather silly of me.
I’m gratefull I know this feeling of dissacosiation is temporary.
Gratefull the sun is shining.
Gratefull for the burgers I made and gratefull for a cosy bed to crawl into after watching a film in the garden.
grateful it doesn’t come with a side of hangover or jonesing.
