I’m grateful to God for guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for my sponsor and that we are working on step 12 and next week we meet to finish step 12 and bring some sponsees in with us. I’m grateful to be working on getting my insides fixed to match my outsides, reading about outwards apperances I can relate. I’m grateful for the doctors that fixed my back by removing a herniated disc in 2019 and informed me to be mindfull of another that is also herniated and may have to be removed if I’m not careful. I’m grateful for the dentist that removed all my rotten teeth in 2020 and the denturist that gave me back a smile. I’m grateful for the gastrointestinal doctor that diagnosed me with crohns disease in 2022 so I can have a better chance to manage the symptoms. I’m grateful for the higher power of my understanding, counsellors, therapists, priests, gratidudes and sponsors that have helped and continue to help with healing my spirit, soul, and mind. I’m grateful for exercise through walking, working, cycling and golfing. I’m grateful I had the day off today after five days on. I’m grateful I took a nap, I don’t usually nap. I’m grateful I could afford to do laundry, treat myself to dining out and go golfing. I’m grateful I attended a two way prayer and mediatation group this morning, my second time attending one, they’re pretty great. I’m grateful my NA homegroup meets Monday’s and I get to be of service by opening and setting up. I’m grateful for the snapping turtle I saw sunning on the golf course driveway near the pond I frequently visit, even when not playing and the picture I took of him.
I’m grateful for music, humor and laughter. I’m grateful for the twelve steps.
May our higher powers grant us opportunities to connect.
p.s. Don’t quit before the miracle. Ya you!!
p.p.s. @Nowenbrace congratulations on your wedding and thanks for being a calming presence.

I’m grateful for the time in nature I had on the weekend. Gives me renewed energy to face the week.
I’m grateful so many dangling threads of paperwork are getting tied up. Corporate tax filings - done! Return major files to client - done! Health claim - almost done! Adulting, life-ing, and necessary - but feels good to get done. Especially since it was often done less-than-stellar-ly or late in the before times.
I’m grateful I heard from my pal’s fam. He’s still in hospice, and though he’s fading, it sounds like he’s just distilling to his pure self. Pure love.
The older I get, the shorter life seems. I’m grateful I’m not going to spend anymore of it sipping or slurping or chugging. Fuck that.
I’m grateful we get to say fuck a lot on this thread.
I’m grateful for another day. 
I’m grateful to see @crystalclear. I was actually just thinking about you before you came back! You said something so kind to me when I was new and scared about hiking sans post-hiking pints. Dunno if you remember but I sure do. Am grateful you’re here and sharing your words. 
Awww @Soberbilly you are a perfect and dear soul yourself! I can’t picture this place or my journey without’cha. 
@Cjp I’m also grateful for your “Good morning sober fam!” posts! And yay hubby comes home! And always for Boscoe - that little you-know-who.
Omg @Dazercat… Chicky Chickie! What a delight. She’s adorable! And in one birthday she has upstaged my almost 53 years of dressing for any event ever! 
I’m grateful you shared.
Speaking of adorable, your turtle meets the definition, @I.cant.We.can

@i.cant.we.can WOW- a snapping turtle. I don’t think Ive ever seen one irl. Looks like it’s just enjoying some rays lol.
@geng grateful that you did get yourself out. The shut-in routine can become harmful psychologically if we are not careful. Love that your mom is so close and so supportive.
Happy Tuesday morning my lovely sober friends.
I am so grateful for finally getting my bloodwork done. Forgot to not eat for 24 hours on Friday and then realized I didn’t receive the correct lab paperwork yesterday. Even with drinking so much water couldn’t find a vein so poked around for some time but yeah – did get it done!
I am so grateful for fresh seeded sweet watermelon - I’m in heaven. I was talking with my cousin yesterday and stating that i don’t know how anyone can go without carbs for so long - i don’t think i could survive a 1 day - then when i thought about it i realized that i haven’t had maybe carbs 3 x’s in the past 5 weeks. 
I am grateful for revelations and healthier living. I will need to go back to having some carbs in the future but now i need to be on the detox that i am on which i find that some of my cuts and snake like patches are healing. It’s a process but i can see the light. YEAH!
I am so grateful for the company our deck squirrel is giving me this morning - even brought me a chewed up accorn.
I am so grateful for figuring out that all the vents on the main floor were shut and that is why the air conditioning was not cooling properly.
I am so grateful that i will try tai chi this morning to see if i can manage slow easy movement and possibly benefit from them
I am so grateful that i was starting to feel negatively about my situation last night but needed the gentle reminder that healing takes time. Grateful that i can realize that we need these reminders constantly as with daily grinds we tend to forget. Grateful that i can see and feel some progress so it helps when I ask myself for more patience.
I am so grateful for deep breathing, grateful for my mindful scans, grateful for my mediation and prayer practices and above all grateful for my Higher Power for not leaving my side.
I am so grateful for waking up to experience yet another glorious day!
I am so grateful for my family and friends - Spent some time with my mom this morning and my cousins will be coming over this afternoon to stay the night - a proper slumber party
I am so grateful for this beautiful community and all the love and support it provides for me and all the members.
Have the best day possilbe - sending much love

I’m grateful we had a nice time watching tv last night.
I’m grateful I felt excited when her alarm went off this morning.
I’m grateful I checked on her before I took Benson for our walk instead on resentfully scurrying out the door.
I’m grateful I really didn’t mind when she said she wasn’t coming after all.
It’s too fucking early! I get it!
I’m grateful for my Al-Anon meetings.
I’m grateful on Sunday night I felt light an old pro at Al-Anon and people were looking up to me and I felt very useful. Helpful.
I’m grateful yesterday’s meeting I felt like a rookie and I’ll never be as chill as some of these old timers. Humbling.
I’m grateful the more meetings I go to the more meetings I want to go to.
I’m grateful we met Bailey on our walk again. I’m grateful I got Bailey’s mothers name Barb. I’m grateful maybe I can remember that. Bailey and Barb. I met a Barbie last night. And I got a Benson. I’m grateful for association.
I’m grateful for cloud cover.
I’m grateful I can actually smell humidity.
I was wondering what I was smelling. It’s always so dry here. And Texas was always so fucken humid.
Speaking/writing about Texas. I’m grateful on a whim we are headed to Texas Friday to see Norma. I’m grateful I love a good whim. I’m grateful my son was concerned because he has a golf thing Sunday morning and was going to cancel it for us. Grateful to tell him to go golfing we just want to see Norma 
I’m grateful my son is so sensitive. Prolly gets it from his father 
We had a nice chat about it. Enjoy your morning of golf with Johnny.
I’m grateful my mother would have killed me if I did that when they visited. I’m grateful I don’t put that pressure on my grown up children. Love you mom Grateful for you 
Grateful again for all the gratitude I have when I’m out too early walking Benson and most of it escapes me again and I have to dig deep. Not too deep. It’s there.
Grateful I’ll be going for my second walk after this.
Grateful for my recoveries.
Grateful for gratitude and gratidudes.
Ooh almost forgot.
Grateful I started reading about LKM. Loving Kindness Meditation.
I’m grateful for my open mind and excited to read more about it.
“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.
Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.
Thanksgiving is the natural following of that
impulse.”

Hi friends,
I’m grateful to be sitting in my rocking chair with a cup of tea. I’m grateful I got a new mug for my birthday. I’m grateful that I can celebrate with family on Friday, because honestly, today wasn’t a very good day. I’m grateful that I can recognize that this feeling won’t last forever, and I can try to make tomorrow better. I’m grateful there’s always some gratitude to borrow when I’m lacking. I’m grateful that I know making this list will make me feel better

Happy Birthday, @Sunflower1! May tomorrow be better, the celebration with family just dandy, and the year ahead be full of things to be easily grateful for. 
I’m grateful for ease in my busy work day. More rolling with it.
I’m grateful for humour at work. What does Anne Lamott say? Laughter is carbonated holiness. 
I was tired after work. I’m grateful for the walk I took in the forest. I made power ball thingy things for snacks for the rest of my week. Sent an email to a pal. Cleaned the kitchen. I’ll go to sleep after this - early. I’m grateful for easy evenings - not overdoing anything. I’m grateful to wake up to a clean kitchen.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

Late morning gratitude. I’m grateful for a nap. I’m grateful thunder woke me up at 6 a.m. and I could close the windows before the rain started. I’m grateful for healthy breakfast and lots of tea. I’m grateful I’m done with this shitty humid heat and digged out the dehumidifier in the morning. My books are buckling. ARGHHH.
I’m grateful I freaked out finding ants in the house and solved the problem with an anti-ant-spray that’s always home. I’m grateful all 3 cats sleep peacefully around me, they are my sunshine. I’m grateful I take it easy and don’t give a shit today. I’m tired and exhausted and waiting for fall.
