Good early morning grateful friends,
I’m grateful for another day sober. Grateful I feel solidly back on track after my slip last weekend.
I’m grateful I managed some sleep last night. I’m feeling sick, but hoping it’s just allergies.
I’m grateful to be attending a (virtual) conference today about mental wellness in the workplace.
I’m grateful to be working on letting things go that I can’t control.
I’m grateful I have sedating meds to give my cat before we try again to go to the vet. I hope that helps.
Grateful for all of you!

Today I am grateful for the last 24 hours of not drinking, because that means I have one day. Unfortunately, I drank on the night before last and spent yesterday loathing my behavior. So, following the anger amd tears, I am starting over and last night completed a nightly inventory and went over all of the triggers, thoughts and emotions leading up to this awful slip. I am grateful for the tools available at my fingertips, now, it is imperative I consistently use them. I’m grateful I have opportunity to get on a meeting as well as help others for the majority of the day today. I am grateful I can run this morning as that is a major eye opener to protect my health, which of course includes abstaining from alcohol and I am grateful for the physically demanding day ahead as it seems to help with stress relief. I am grateful for another day to be better and look forward to meeting my new sponsor. Thanks to you all for being here. Peace and love.

I love this and would have to agree. I dont have pets but have observed this many times
@I.cant.We.can happy 45th birthday Brian. Sounds like a great celebration!
@erntedank happy that the headache is not so intense today. Hopefully itll go away all together soon.
@Irisees919 we’ve all had our slip ups. The most important thing here is that you didnt skip a beat and are restarting your timer. So impressed with how youve already done your inventory list, hopefully figured out how to avoid or deal with triggers and are utilizing your tools. A run and a meeting today - soynds like you are starting your day off right!

Good morning friends,
Happy Birthday @I.cant.We.can! Sounds like the perfect day!
I’m grateful I slept pretty good last night, and I have a pretty new travel mug to sip my coffee out of. I’m grateful I have a job that pays the bills, and provides food and other necessities. Even little extras like caramel crème brûlée flavored coffee. I’m grateful that I have been searching for another job, and have had a couple interviews. I’m grateful they were good practice after not doing them for about 13 years. Nothing planned out, but I’m grateful I got some interest. I’m grateful that I know I’m struggling in my current workplace, and I’m grateful that there is probably a book to listen to, or a workbook to help me out. Time to find something, suggestions are welcome.
I’m grateful our little garden is healthy and producing this year! Picking strawberries to snack on while I water is so cool! I’m grateful for love and forgiveness, and to remember to keep an open mind.

Grateful for a new day, a sober morning, a trip to moms to look forward to, a car ride up to her with my brother’s fiancee and their dog, plans for a fingernail painting party, and all my plans and a future full of love and promise. Grateful for all of you, grateful to watch your progress, be inspired, celebrate and support with wonderful folks. Let’s get after it my friends the weekend approaches and the world is our oyster! I don’t like oysters though so the world is my uh cheeseburger I guess

Mid afternoon after late lunch gratitude.
I’m grateful I’m adulting. I’m grateful I can curl up on the couch because I’m exhausted from adulting. I would love to have someone cuddling me, bringing me food and hot chocolate, wrapping me up in a blanket, telling me everything is fine and holding me until I nap off. The next best things are fire in the stove, cuddling cats, wraping myself up and mumbling because I forgot to make hot chocolate and don’t want to move anymore 
I’m grateful all grocery shopping for tomorrow’s dinner and the weekend is done. I treated myself to a really cheap heated pillow and a cute longshirt I found. My back is looking forward to the pillow tonight.
I’m grateful the headache didn’t worsen. I’m grateful the construction work in my garden is completely finished and I got the number of the workers. I’m grateful they also do small work, not only big construction sites. I’ll call them for renovation of the front door deck. I realize I better stay present, my thoughts are wandering to the future and past which makes me nervous and uncomfortable. I do take good care about today and I will take care about tomorrow. Tomorrow, not today.
I’m grateful there are still small staples of logs at my mum’s house. I’m grateful I don’t give a fuck that the grass is incredibly high. It is always raining, I have to wait until it dries up. THEN I will have a breakdown with mowing. Now I can’t do anything so 
I’m grateful I enjoy this rainy afternoon and maybe take a nap. ODAAT.

Good morning beautiful souls. 
I am grateful that when I need help I dont get stuck on the hamster wheel in my head anymore, instead I ask for help. I am grateful that my HP speaks to me through others. I am grateful for mantra and chanting and the direct contact I feel when I sing. I am grateful for the flow of the universe and how I can so easily see it in others lives. As one side gets harder the other side compensates, if they let it. I am grateful for balance and the truth that our true success is meassured by our alignment with source, god, the universe, spirit, mother earth, whatever you want to call it. True success isnt material things, or achievment, nor financial abundance, its finally coming into alignment with you. I am grateful that I have a constant flow of the universe tapped into my being and as long as I am aligning with love I will be alright.
We lost a member the day before yesterday, he earned his infonity medallion. The moral of his story is, dont ignore the warning signs your body gives you. I am grateful that I can find gratitude is sadness, I am grateful to learn something from his passing. I am grateful to have known him.
Ooooh, forgot.
I am grateful to be 1 year off sugar today!

@Dazercat so hapoy to hear that you were able to do your solo walk with your dogs yesterday. So liberating. Hope you enjoyed your evening out.
@Sunflower1 congrats on the interviews. Sending luck that at least one will pan out. I love the visual of pucking strawberries while out in your yard. I used to do the sane with my blackberries 
@cjp so thrilled that the bitch will be gone soon enough. Also very happy to hear that youll be taking your mom to the meeting tonight. That will be a very special shared moment
@Its_me_Stella congrats on your 1 year sugar free! Im still new here and catching up on the threads but i can see how remarkable of a journey youve had and the growth really shows.im so sorry for the loss of a member.
What a glorious Thursday morning my sober friends
I am so grateful for waking up today. Waking up to birds chirping, waking up to our family mediation starting and waking up to my freshly squeezed white pumpkin juice kick start my enzymes.
I am so grateful that i was not able to sleep last night as yet again someone (my doctor) had dismissed my self diagnosis. I was able to do some intense research to prove i wasnt crazy. I am so grateful for google. I was able to yet again send her links on how an allergy to sweat is possible (ive never had before but since ive gotten sick ive gotten so many different ailments tgat its hard to pinpoint exactly whats wrong). Ive told her that no meds /creams for the welts and rashes etc need to be prescribed and my ensil was an fyi - i plan to continue my healthy lifestyle and rely on foods/herbs to heal me. Sick of being dismissed but so greatful that ive learned not to accept docs words as gosple.
I am so grateful for my higher power providing me knowledge and guidance.
I am so grateful that my mom knows so much about foods andctheir healing properties. What to mix and what not to. Im hoping to start studying aryevedic healing myself so that i can take on the responsibility of healing myself.
I am so grateful for the pool opening this month. I may not be able to swim like i did but need to get back to that relaxing atmosphere- water is forever my go to healing source. Hopefully ill be ok externally to get into the chlorinated water - heres hoping 
I am so grateful for this community and all my new friends!
I am so grateful for bursting with positive emotions today - an abundance of love. Starting this day off with a enthusiastic energy
Have a blessed sober day. Sending much

I am grateful I have enough.

I have to check in for more evening gratitude. I’m grateful for a nap. I’m grateful for healthy dinner. I’m grateful for chitchat texting with a friend.
The heated pillow is amazeballs!!! I think this is the best 10 euro investment in my whole life! My back is melting, I can feel the tension leaving my body. I’m grateful a friend introduced me to her heated blanket this winter and put the idea in my mind.
I’m grateful for my cozy house, the fireplace, a full fridge, lovely cats, my bed, my comfy comfy bed, that the kitchen stove is still working on 3 cooking plates and the oven (more or less), for being up to date with chores (more or less), for technology that I can watch a youtube lecture on my TV, for healthy boundaries and taking good care of myself just for today and probably tomorrow, for being ok today. I’m grateful for the blessings in my life. I’m grateful to be.

After being here nearly three weeks and taking in everyone’s posts, I’m beginning to get to grips with this gratitude stuff. So I’ll start by saying that I’m grateful for finding the Sober Time app, and everyone here on TS for being so welcoming, open and genuinely invested in the recovery and wellbeing of others. It’s so beautiful to see, especially when the Internet can be such a negative place.
I’m grateful for my mental health. I was so worried that getting clean would mean I’d find my anxiety and depression returning, but everything seems fine so far. I’m making positive changes, doing things I enjoy like reading and crochet, eating better (so grateful that my appetite is back!), getting exercise, etc. Oh, I quit smoking too!
I’m grateful that I have a job that I love, and I’m good at.
I’m grateful for my family, that despite our ups and downs we’re always there for each other.
I’m grateful that my review with my caseworker went well yesterday and he’s looking into switching me to the buvidal injection which means seeing a Dr once a month instead of going to the pharmacy twice a week.
I’m grateful that the crippling back pain I had for a few weeks has finally gone. I didn’t even notice when it stopped, it just realised it wasn’t there anymore one day 
I’m grateful to be taking part in a charity race at my local park tomorrow, it’s only a 3k as I’m seriously out of shape and underweight, but it gets me out of the house for a while!
I’m grateful for stoicism and everything I’m learning about it, I feel like there’s a lot I can take away and apply in my daily routine, my blueprint to happiness.
I’m grateful that my teeth are looking much better since I’ve got clean and stopped smoking cigarettes. I’m also grateful for all the other benefits that come along with this, like more energy, feeling more confident, clothes and hair don’t smell like smoke, improved cognition, better sleep… I could go on!
Thanks for letting me share some morning gratitude with you all

Good morning grateful friends,
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful for working from home because I feel so sick today. I’m hoping it’s just allergies. But I feel miserable. I’m grateful work is flexible and I can take a nap at lunchtime.
I’m grateful it’s almost the weekend. No big plans - just resting and relaxing. Our outdoor farmers market has started back up for the year and if I’m feeling better I’ll check it out.
I’m grateful for my cats and that they are all doing well. Tessie was much better behaved at the vet after I gave her anti-anxiety medicine. Glad that’s an option so she doesn’t completely freak out there.
I’m grateful for this community. You all are wonderful!
