I’m grateful for this day.
I’m grateful that it rained hard almost all day. It was another good day to hunker on in.
I’m grateful I was thinking about grief earlier today, even before all the posts above. Thinking how recovery lets me weave moments of grief into my day, just as moments of joy, awe, humour, etc all have their time and space too. Grief is so fucking hard, it’s a one moment at a time kind of thing for me. I’m grateful I throw my heart into loving so hard that it grieves hard too.
I’m grateful we have each other and those IRL too when the grief gets hard. I’m sorry about the news of your friend, @Soberbilly. I’d take ya for that green matcha latte if I could. Hugs to you.
I’m grateful for WhatsApp, and the longgg chat this afternoon with a dear friend in another country. We were roommates 31 years ago. WTF? When did this happen? I’m grateful I have a handful of pals from those days, grateful for our shared histories. That we agree hysterically that indeed we look older, and that it suits us.
I’m grateful tomorrow is a day off here. I’m gonna putter at my desk all the same - some paperwork to catch up on and I’m grateful I’m in the mood to do it.
I’m grateful for another day.

I’m sorry about your friend and grateful y’all had the friendship you have had. Your statement about you living to 100plus because the good die young just would prove they save the best for last. You’re loved, Billy, you’re cared for. Sorry it’s such a hard time for you, understandably, and glad you have your 3D peeps and us to help support you through this. @Soberbilly

@Soberbilly Sending peace and hugs to you and your friend & family. I’m grateful that hospices exist.
I’m grateful I came here to read and share laughter and grief with you all.

Rough start to the day. I slept like crap with crazy, vivid dreams. Got up early at 5am. I’m grateful for my coffee and plenty of time before I have to start work. I’m grateful for my continued sobriety. It’s almost 6 months (minus 4 days in the middle). I’m grateful to focus on the 6 months part of that.
I’m grateful that I’m not alone in my journey. That other people know how hard it is to “feel your feelings” and to focus on healing the reason we drank (or drugged) in the first place.
I’m grateful I can meet my basic needs. I have a comfortable and safe home. I have enough food to eat. I have health insurance and have found providers who listen.
I’m grateful @Dazercat gave Minnie a life filled with love. It’s so hard to say goodbye. If only our pets could live as long as we did. I’m grateful for the joy they bring us. They teach us about unconditional love.

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for our community, and a safe place to come when we are hurting, grieving, struggling, celebrating, achieving, triumphing, and all the other “stuff” that comes with actually living our lives. I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful to be sitting on my porch swing watching all the hummingbirds flying around, stopping in to sip from the feeder I have. I’m grateful to be able to notice these things, and not be nursing a hangover. Grateful we are here for each other❤️
@Soberbilly, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I’m grateful you have been able to process it, and to show us how to handle grief with love and dignity.

I’m grateful I’m not hungover and trashed this morning. I’m grateful I’m not already reaching for a drink. I’m grateful God gave me 3 and a half years of sobriety with Minnie. I’m grateful for my recoveries. I’m grateful for this thread and everyone here.
I’m grateful for a warm purring Alice on my lap. I’m grateful my morning pet chores got substantially easier 
That dog was a lot of work 
I’m grateful she was worth it. I’m grateful I got to care for her like I did.
I’m grateful for the shift change. Alice has moved on and Daisy is taking over the lap position. I’m grateful for the unconditional love of pets. I’m grateful I can be sober for this last batch of pets in my life.
I’m grateful for the calm this morning inside and out. I’m grateful this morning I read about embracing the calm.
I’m grateful I got the house all cleaned up yesterday instead of drinking my sorrows away. I’m grateful it’s trash day.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful I can feel Daisy’s heartbeat 
on my right thigh.
I’m grateful me an the Ol Burner are going to get for an early walk this morning. Just the 2 of us. I’m grateful he’s got some big shoes to fill. I hope he’s up to the task. I’m grateful he will be getting twice as much love now. I hope he can handle it.
Again. I’m grateful for my sobriety and I’m not a piece of drunk shit garbage this morning or tomorrow or the next day. I’m grateful it all sounds stupid the way I acted before my sobriety. I’m grateful I know I can’t do anything about the past. I’m grateful I can be true to myself today. And try hard as fuck to not worry about the future.
Find a way to enjoy the calm to the fullest before the storm rises again.

@soberbilly Dang 108 is hot!! Im so sorry about your friend – amazed at how you are dealing with life and death on their terms as you say. Deep breath indeed and I agree with @alisa that your reference only proves that the best was saved for last.
@its_me_stella Thank you for sharing the super news – so thrilled for your friend! So sorry that you are dealing with a stomach virus (5th time this year – yikes). Sending healing vibes
@karenkw my goodness friend – I am so sorry for the repetitive depressive cycle. I’m sure that the anxiety and lack of sleep due to vivid dreams doesn’t help. Congrats on your 6 months – that’s a huge accomplishment (how time flies). Grateful that you still find time to find gratitude. Glad you went on your 2k walk (In small ways I’m sure it did help). Wishing for a better day ahead for you!
@pattycake Thrilled to hear you say that Patricia – You can do this! It can’t be done alone so I do hope you continue to stay with us here on TS and also find some good support irl.
@dazercat grateful for the shift change …LOL – I had to reread this (love that you have so much furry love around you and you are able to enjoy all of this sober).
A beautiful Monday morning my sober friends
I am so grateful to be alive and mobile - enjoying each deep breath i am capable of taking
I am so grateful for waking up to sounds of yard work being done and knowing I don’t have to do any
I am so grateful for hopefully coming to terms that my house is no longer my house and just an asset for me at this time. I have to let go of my gardens and flower beds and my lively textured painted rooms and all the little things i did to make it my place … no longer mine and I need to move on. I hope that i can finally let go of the notion that i will be going back to that place
I am so grateful for waking up and grinding the lovely coffee beans and brewing the most heavenly cup of coffee. grateful to be enjoying it now while writing my gratitude’s
I am so grateful for waking up a few times in the night but being able to fall back to sleep with a little meditation. Grateful for my meditation and prayer practices.
I am so grateful for being in a positive headspace today - Loving all that we have to live for and explore.
I am so grateful for my brief visit with my cousins yesterday. It was a lovely visit and I do hope that i am able to get in some more time with them before they have to go home
I am so grateful for my lovely family. My mom has already brought me some freshly squeezed juice and a lovely salad for lunch - I will forever be in her debt. She is going above and beyond to make sure i heal sooner.
I am so grateful for the love and unbelievable support provided by this community. Grateful for all of you and thankful to have you in my life and on this journey with me.
Sending much love my beautiful friends…

Today I’m grateful that all days end. I feel exhausted, tired, mistreaten, unheard and gaslighted.
For my ex it is the most naturally thing to assume my lawyer’s deadline is optional and he can come over on the weekend to fetch his stuff because “he only has help on the weekend”. I told him 5 times in the last 3/4 year to get his puzzles and handycraft stuff out of my house. He fucking had no time? I should be considerate. Hä??? When I told him that this deadline is not negotiable he flipped out, yelled that I’m selfish and everything has to go my way, I messed around so much this will have consequences … blablabla. First of all: I don’t know what he is talking about and as always he refuses to provide any detail, argument or shine a light on what the fuck he is referring to or talking about. I’ve given up long ago to find out what’s behind this behaviour, it’s always the same: He blames me for I don’t know what and accuses me of I have no clue what, is pissed and angry and I will never find out what pig bit him. Or what I have done to hurt or upset him.
He wanted the divorce, I want him out of my life. At the end it is this simple. I’m not waiting for Godot.
As to my things he has taken when he moved out: No, he does not come over and bring my stuff he doesn’t even know to differ from his grandmothers stuff 
I told him I don’t want him to come here. He can drop it at the farm. Well, I could have offered to collect it at the storage space but I did not want to. He could call a parcel service to bring it and a relocation service to fetch his stuff. Not my business. He has butthurts? Not my business. He naggs that I put pressure on him? Hääää??? I’m the one waiting for him to move on. If he is surprised that I don’t take shit from him anymore, well, not my business. He was the one who wanted all of this. Not happy with the result? Not happy with me wanting him cut out off my life for good? Honey, so not my business anymore!
I’m grateful my boys are sleeping left and right of me on the couch. They are so sweet, thanks God for unconditional pet love. I feel heartbroken and don’t know what I did wrong. I’m grateful tomorrow this feeling will be gone. I’m not his doormat anymore. Fullstop. So why does it hurt so much and I can’t stop crying?
I’m grateful I got a haircut today. Beautiful!
I’m grateful I was able to help a friend with some PC problems. I’m grateful we went for lunch afterwards, it was nice.
I’m grateful I found 3 summerdresses on sale. Neat pieces that will last for several summers.
I’m grateful I made my point with the ex clear on whatsapp and go to sleep now. I’m grateful I don’t expect an answer or reaction. I’ve come a long way in the last year

I’m grateful I’m going to tuck in soon, sober.
Today was hard for some reasons. Also hard to be with my thoughts and emotions about the reasons. I’m grateful I don’t try to drink away the hard, not for any reason.
Today was also good.
I’m grateful for the walk I took. It was cool but had stopped raining. The sun came out for a bit.
I’m grateful for the yummy simple dinner I made for myself. Nourishing.
I’m grateful i still have some lavender cedarwood bath salts left. My fave.
I’m grateful tomorrow will come, with all its predictabilities and unpredictability.
I’m grateful for this place and space we share.
I’m grateful for another day.
