Struggling to feel grateful this morning. Fuck mental illness.
Iām grateful I finally fell asleep last night. Didnāt sleep well, but itās better than nothing.
Iām grateful for my cats. Always.
Iām grateful my job is flexible and I could take half the day off yesterday. It means working half a day today, but I didnāt have any plans for the holiday.
Iām grateful I have a safe and comfortable place to live. Iām grateful for enough food to eat. Central AC. Hot showers.

Thank you so much @Soberbilly I needed the hug and the beautiful quote 
And the reminder that I feel connected to the universe. Iām grateful I give all my issues to God and the universe when I go to bed every day as they are wise, caring and creative, they have an eternity of dealing with everything. I trust that solutions will come along right in time, that troubles will unwind and that I finally will know all of this behind me. Iām grateful for deep faith in the power of God and the universe.
Iām grateful I draw boundaries. We discussed it in therapy today. As uncomfortable as I feel, itās healthy that I still try to figure out solutions. And say NO where I feel overwhelmed and forced. Iām grateful I realized in therapy today that the ex obviously is not capable to manage the/his practical side of the divorce he wanted. Which effects me negatively. Makes me stuck allthough I move on. Makes creating my good life hard. I feel sorry for him that he obviously is struggling but I refuse to be blamed and gasligthed for it. There is no logic in his behavior from what my lawyer told me today. Best to draw a line at court, the claim should be ready this week. The next important and costly step.
Gosh, Iām so tired of all this bullshit. Iām grateful I can rest when I am exhausted. Iām grateful I cooked yummi healthy lunch that will last for tomorrow too. Iām grateful for recycling bins and trash collect. Iām grateful Iām good in throwing away things. Iām grateful for my powerful vacuum cleaner. Iām grateful for a well stuffed catfood storage. Iām grateful the decluttering of the guestroom progresses.
Iām grateful the headache is bearable. This weather is awful and makes many people suffering. Iām grateful this too shall pass

Iām grateful Iām still not hungover and I donāt want to be. Iām grateful for my 3.5 years of gratitude practice retraining my brain. Iām grateful all I want to think about is all the good times and love and happiness Minnie brought me. Yes, itās sad she is gone, but Iām so grateful she is not suffering. Iām grateful for the 15 years we had her, out of her 16 1/2 years. And that we were blessed with her unconditional love and happiness. Iām grateful she was a happy dog. Iām grateful we didnāt get rid of her when she ate the trim 
in the house, by the steps leading to our sunken living room. Or when she ate the rungs on the nice dinning room chairs 
She was a puppy 
Iām grateful for the way she use to love to run. Iām grateful in her prime we had a big beautiful back yard for her to run.
Iām grateful I got to say good morning I love you to the wife at 4:30 as I was getting up and she was getting to bed 
Iām grateful I can laugh about it. Grateful Benson and I got out at quarter to six this morning before it got too hot. Iām grateful for the cute little bobcat I saw on our walk. Iām grateful Benson didnāt see it. Iām grateful it patiently waited for us to walk by and continued on its journey. Iām grateful I didnāt try to bring it home. After all weāre a man down.
Iām grateful I had a back up old electric hot water kettle to make my coffee. The regular one didnāt work. Iām grateful Amazon will have me a nice new one here Thursday.
Iām grateful as much as I wanted to go to a meeting yesterday; I listened to my body and took a nap at 4 pm instead. Iām grateful I have no doubt that was the right decision.
Iām grateful for my recoveries and you and your recoveries

@karenkw FUCK mental illness indeed! I do hope you are doing better today and so grateful that you are still able to find gratitude when you are feeling down (I do hope this helps lift your spirits).
@soberbilly my goodness that was a beautiful post. Thank you and I fully agree that human contact is a necessity in life (was just reminded o fit this morning). Wish you the best in unlocking your numbness and unpacking your bags ā we are here whenever you should choose (you are not alone). I am also in awe of how well @Erntedank is handling everything ā I know itās been a long journeyā¦ hoping for some comfort and peace soon.
@cjp yeah to steady health benefits from a healthy lifestyle! You are absolutely crushing it. 
Happy Tuesday my sober friends ā HAPPY 4th of July (for those that are celebrating)ā¦
I am so grateful for my beautiful family. I was able to go to morning breakfast with my parents and my cousins and brother to celebrate my moms bday! I was unable to eat anything but had my fill of delicious black coffee - so grateful for COFFEE
I am so grateful for my fruit and rice cake for breakfast 
I am so grateful for comfy cloths (god bless the designer of sweats ā thick and warm for the winter and light and airy for the summer months)
I am so grateful for the healing powers of good energy (i love how the light and beautiful the energy is around my cousins) - grateful for being able to spend time with them.
I am so grateful for @dazercat and our back and forth on the meme thread. Such a lovely distraction!
I am so grateful for having a positive energy around me (keeping me sane and mentally healthy)
I am so grateful for naps (knowing that i can crawl into bed when i need to since i did not sleep last night)
I am so grateful for my beautiful family and all the unconditional love and support
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer. grateful for my deep breathing and mindful body scans. grateful for my higher power and my spiritual connection(s)
I am so grateful for the TS site - I am so grateful for the lovely souls iām meeting here and love my beautiful connnections.

Iām grateful Iām reuniting with a dear friend and her kids this summer holiday. Iām grateful my kids are loving the time with her kids - their best friends who moved away.
Iām grateful for the sun, the sea, and the lond flat roads to run. Grateful for the food. Grateful for the simple accommodation. Grateful for the gracious owner of the albergue.
Iām grateful I found the resolve to keep this vacation another one alcohol free for me. No, itās not easy. Iām still constantly trying to bargain in my head whether I could have one glass of wine. Or two. Grateful I have the other voice in my head saying: remember what it was likeā¦? No, you cannot, my dear. Your life is too precious to take that chance.
Iām grateful I have this place to vent these intrusive thoughts. Iām really grateful for you all, even if Iāve been quieter lately.
Much love to you all.
PS: @Dazercat Iām so sorry to hear about Minnie. Sending a tight hug your way.

Sending you strength to get through the vacation sober and free from addiction. The addict voice can get strong and romanticize how it once was. You know better - you know that drinking will not bring anything good.
Youāve come this far and I know you are stronger than your addition! Over a year of sobriety under your belt and you have gone through recent trip and parties and work events and made it through all those alcohol free. I know you can do so again - enjoy your sober vacation time

Iām gratefull when I have tears in my eyes I let them freely flow, I donāt hold them in and try to run from the cause anymore.
Iām gratefull my tears are not just for myself but for others, Iām gratefull others lives touch me in my heart.
Iām gratefull when someone says I can get through this and I can manage my problems, this makes me feel they are right 
Iām gratefull for people here who really care, take time and send love, even when they are going through their own stuff.
I better get to sleep 
and Iām gratefull for my home, Iām gratefull the works needed are being dealt with.
Iām gratefull I know I will overcome this next few months.

Iām grateful today got better.
Iām grateful I can cry. Yesterday was a hard one. Hey dementia? Leave my Mom the fuck alone already. I could take it when it was hard on me, but now youāre just being cruel to her. And the rub is that the only way to make it better for her, from here, is if she goes. Well, fuck. Is that the point of this earth exercise? So that those I hold dearest get taken from me? (Must have something to do with me being a massive fuck up, right?) Whatās the point of being sober even when itās all so hard? Gratidudes? Donāt answer any of those. I know the answersā¦
Iām grateful I went to bed sober and woke up sober. Iām grateful I love fiercely. Iām grateful I feel my feelings deeply. Iām grateful I can hold space for all my feelings. Iām grateful they donāt all speak the truthā¦
It was sunny today. Iām grateful for that.
Iām grateful I woke up to kind words from @erntedank and @JazzyS. To a picture of @Soberbillyās amazing hair. 
Iām even grateful for @AyBeeās disgusting memes. (Donāt tell him I said so.)
Iām grateful I know how to take care of myself. Iām also grateful for this space and place.
Iām grateful for another day.

Iām grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful it only bothered me a little not posting for a couple days, I did read some of your gratitudes but was tired and didnāt do my nightly, kind of tenth stepāish gratitude check ins. Iām grateful for my job and that its been going pretty well. Iām grateful I had today off, especially seeing as I work nine of the next ten days. Iām grateful I accomplished alot of ānormalā things today. They seem like a big deal, but really itās a part of living. To a low bottom, long time addicted to everything person like myself, accomplishly these tasks is taking time to get used to and part of me thinks why mention it, are you looking for a reward for doing what youāre supposed to do 
. I went to a couple twelve step meetings, met with my sponsor and started working on step twelve, paid rent, paid off part of a college debt, chatted with my former sponsee turned support, did groceries, laundry, dishes, cooked, folded and hung up my clothes, texted with my sister, bought myself lunch, golfed 18 holes by myself, played great, for me that is, what fun. Prayed , read recovery stuff, meditated on the golf course, cancelled my stage two drivers test that was scheduled for the afternoon, that kind of sucked, couldnāt get a vehicle to use to take the test, still need a shave and shower and to lie down.
Hope those of you who are American and celebrate it had a pleasant 4th of July. Sending out positive vibes and big hugs to any and all who need it. Seems, to me, we here are experiencing alot of loss(in its many forms) lately and Iām proud of how you/we are handling it, my building had two people pass on to the next part of their journey in the last week and a half. Iām grateful I knew them and that their pain has ended, one had cancer , the other was advanced in age, suffered strokes over the past year residing here and was wheelchair bound, I pray they are happy wherever they are now.
Iām grateful for music and creativity. Im grateful for prayer and meditation. Iām grateful for the twelve steps and the principles they instill.
May our higher powers grant us strength.
p.s. You are completely incredible. Ya you!!

I want to thank all of you for this community and the mutual caring
After some rough days Iām grateful today is fine so far. I woke up very early with Missi and Tiglat stuck to my legs left and right and Schimanski on the other half of the bed. Waking up with pet love around me is priceless.
Iām grateful I used the cool hours for office work and a drive to the farm. Iām grateful the house is ok. Iām grateful I donāt care about the rest at the moment. I started to clean, wash and put my belongings were they belong. Lots of work waiting. Iām grateful I start to accomodate. Iām grateful swallows are nesting in the carport. Here we say where swallows nest there is luck and blessing on the house
Iām grateful I was able to help a friend. Iām grateful she will help me on friday deepcleaning my house. Iām grateful for friends.
Iām grateful Iāll head home soon, the weather is humid and hot. Migraine weather. Iām grateful for a morning without headache. Iām grateful for the silence at the farm. Itās calming.

Good morning grateful friends,
Iām grateful for my sobriety.
Iām grateful people should be done shooting off their fāing fireworks. They kept it going well past midnight. Needless to say I didnāt get much sleep. Grateful tonight should be better.
Iām grateful Iāve been making myself go walk even when I donāt want to. Iām sure itās doing something good for me even if I donāt feel it.
Iām grateful for my cats snuggling with me. I love them so much!
Im grateful for this community and all your support.

For another sober holiday!
Itās been a busy week so I am still catching up here, I think I am 3 days behind.
Grateful for time spent with my mother
Grateful for bonding time with my daughter
Grateful for our adventure going to see Taylor Swift, we got lost on the way home well, we missed the shuttle and then took Uber to wrong hotelā¦ I was feeling like a failureā¦ then shuttle pulled up and she was excited to get to ride it at nightā¦ it took an hour and a half to get home.
The next day I asked her her favorite part of TS and she said ā I liked the part where we got lost, that was a really fun adventureā and here I was in my head thinking how I ruined the whole thing by dragging her around Cincinnati for what felt like eternity. Iām grateful that she keeps me grounded.
Iām grateful for narrative shifts and that I can now remember all of it as a āreally great adventureā
I guess thatās what all of our lives really are.
