Today I’m grateful for a fine day.
Got up early, garden work, cat chores, housework. A little meditation. Dentist appointment. I’m grateful I found a dentist who is covered by insurance and is specialized on people with anxiety. I really felt fine. I’m grateful my teeth are in good shape. I’m grateful I was brave and made my first appointment for professional dental hygiene (however this is correctly called). On Friday!!! Oh I will post on the friday thread
I’m grateful I brought home the AC from my mum’s house where it was stored. This humid heat kills me. No longer inhouse. Disconnected the wood burning stove, connected the AC to the chimney and there we go …
I’m grateful after 2 hours it cooled down to a level that I could cook. A simple, delicious meal. What a joy.
I’m grateful today would have been our anniversary and I didn’t care. What a long way I’ve come in the last year
I’m grateful for the rain, it cooled down and I can air the house overnight. I’m grateful for napping like a dead rock in the afternoon after the busy morning. I needed it.
I’m grateful for calls with friends in the evening. I’m grateful for my cozy little garden with hillarious squash plants that will conquer all of it
@geng grateful for a good GP! Glad your GP is looking out for you and invested in your good health @rainy7 Grateful for @starlight as well – so loving and caring. This community is absolutely the bees knees! Can’t get enough – grateful that you are experiencing such support here.
Oh I love this so very much! Thank you Bootz – what a lovely thing to be reminded of daily. We live addiction free so that we can enjoy all the extra’s Grateful that you were able to go and tend to the mule and had such a beautiful ride and swim (sounds like an absolutely beautiful time)
Yes certainly you have! Grateful that you are able to see this. So lovely to get your AC installed and working – yeah to no more hot humid days indoors!!
Happy Tuesday my beautiful sober friends!!!
I am so grateful for waking up to another day. Grateful that i did go back to sleep as i was utterly exhausted and didn’t get up until 10:30 (WOW)- still exhausted but had to get my ASS moving. Grateful that i was able to muster up the energy to go to their house. Grateful for my mom making me my morning juice.
I am so grateful that I was able to get ready in time and get my butt over to the doctors in time. So grateful that my doctor was outside walking her dog and gave me a huge comforting hug as I arrived.
I am so grateful that i am starting to realize how much of a fucking mystery the human body really is. Grateful to know i do not have any auto immune disease and do not have celiac disease (i do need to keep off of gluten and other foods but its not a life sentence – YEAH). I am no closer to knowing what is the issue but have eliminated my recent fears. Grateful that i do have severe inflammation and require even more rest (i am getting better at this). I will have to reach out to my GP to get these scheduled so that I can get it covered by insurance. I am hoping that this is not a long drawn out issue.
I am so grateful that the GI MAP testing consultant said i do have lots of inflammation but can’t figure out what’s causing this BUT the test results were the healthiest she’s seen. Grateful to hear that but still a bit like then WTF is wrong with me LOL - Grateful that i will find the answers. Grateful that the fatty liver issues are not alcohol related but related to the massive weight i’ve gained due to this illness and all the damn steroids UGH!! was told not to focus on this at the moment (super hard but will try).
I am so grateful that the one cyst is not really a cyst but a (not sure the proper name but a inflamed stress bubble) - i am seeing a lot of silver linings today!
I am so grateful that I have an amazing family and their support is just unbelievable! GOD BLESS THEM as I am so blessed for THEM.
I am so grateful for still having an abundance of food to eat when i have have what feels like a book of what i can’t eat
Grateful that I figured out that my new prescription sunglasses had the wrong prescription (i am not going blind LOL) - i will be able to take them in to get fixed tomorrow.
I am so grateful for my daily practices of meditation and prayer - grateful for my connection to my HP - grateful for learning to listen to my body and act accordingly - grateful for gentle movements that allow the body to feel fluid
I am so grateful for all of you here that have gotten me this far. I am so grateful that in a few days i will have hit 7 months and the journey that i thought was impossible and unachievable is a reality because of YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you all!
Sending so much love —
Great new Jazzy. Thanks for sharing with us. I know you didn’t think you had and definitely didn’t want that auto immune disease.
I too hope the test don’t drag out either. I guess it will take as long as it takes.
Oh, and I was wonder where my morning memer buddy was this morning. Sleeping in hey?
My long walk.
Blue skies and sunshine.
Phone calls with loved ones.
Good food and NA drinks.
All the wonderful people here on TS.
Doggies.
My AA buddy who texted me.
The tiredness I feel, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to get a good night’s sleep.
My loving family.
I’m grateful to be back among friends. Sorry I went awol for a bit.
I’m grateful nightmares aren’t real and they are starting to fade from my mind. They were worse than usual last night.
I’m grateful I had therapy yesterday. It helped some.
I’m grateful for central air conditioning.
I’m grateful for my cuddly cats.
I’m grateful for coffee and quiet in the morning.
I’m grateful I have a trip planned to visit my mom over Labor Day.
OFDAAT
Good morning my friends! I’m grateful for the rain this morning! Shifting these old bones out of bed was a struggle, and seeing the rain was a relief because it meant I could lay on the couch and snuggle with the pups and snooze a little longer and ride the bus in instead of biking. I’m grateful for a couple of mostly free weekends ahead, I’m grateful for my body and appreciate all the things I can do because it’s still running pretty smoothly. I did the Tough Mudder, I went up with my bestie to have a girls weekend with my momma and did a little 5K–at a brewery, but it was fine and they had the best kombucha I’ve ever had! Made me want to get out my jugs and get back into it myself. I’m grateful things have quieted a bit at work and I’m catching back up. Grateful for my family, friends, pups, and YOU!
I am so grateful for being up and moving around albeit a bit slow
I am so grateful that even though i hardly got any sleep last night i feel awake enough to start the day (of course with the help of my favorite companion - coffee)
I am so grateful that its okay to cry and scream as i am frustrated and my body is acting up in every which way - at times it was unbearable last night but i am here and. I am determined to keep moving forward. Like with sobriety, i have the tools and have to have faith that i will have more good days than bad and eventually these type of bad days will be gone.
I am so grateful that I remembered the chocolate mousse i made and have in the freezer (my cousins didn’t end up wanting sweets so i get to enjoy now: yum:)
I am so grateful for my family - i am blessed to have such a lovely connection with my parents (my mom especially) and with my siblings. Grateful that we live close enough to each other.
I am so grateful for good quit lit books - i am still working through my first one but have a list of books to go through. Grateful that reading the books and individual journeys and revelations is such an eye-opening experience. I feel like i am getting a lot of that here from the various threads as well. Grateful for how open and vulnerable everyone is which really allows for a deeper connection - we really are not alone in this battle/ journey.
I am so grateful that the sun is shinning bright and it is not too hot yet here - most grateful that the air quality is finally good. Grateful that i did quit smoking when i did. I felt the effects of the bad air these past few days and can’t imagine being a smoker in these times.
I am so grateful for my daily practices of prayer and meditation. Grateful that even when i am not feeling at peace with myself i can rely on these practices to at least give me a sense of belonging and then of course continued practice brings me to calmness and grounding.
I am so grateful for my Higher Power - can’t begin to express the amount of gratitude i have for His helping hand showing me a this path to a healthier life. Grateful for the strength and gentle nudges to keep me here.
I am so grateful that i still do not have any answers to what is wrong with me. Grateful that i am still in the healing process because even last night i was ready to drink to make it all go away. Grateful that i knew that that would mean a major regress and could make everything so much worse. Grateful to acknowledge that i am still in the learning phase and still need to gain more strength / tools to keep me fighting for my addiction free healthy life.
I am so grateful for my friendships on this site. I honestly can’t thank YOU all enough for the support and acceptance. You have created such a loving and welcoming environment. Grateful for a zero judgement zone.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday - sending you much love

I’m grateful I got up to get the Ol Burner walked before the sun was up too high. And it was already 89 degrees.
I’m grateful we’re getting our asses out of here today and head back up to the mountain where the high will be a cool 90
I’m grateful for my Tuesday night meeting in Cave Creek my home group down here. I’m grateful they were still talking about my share last week. Grateful that made me feel good. Grateful I guess I could have an impact. I’m grateful it was really more about me than them.
I’m grateful I saw this guy at a meeting that I hadn’t seen for about 6-8 weeks. I been thinking about how poorly I been judging him. I use to think he was so fucking annoying with his shares since he just reads passages out of his favorite book and tells us how much he loves the alcoholic. He loves all alcoholics. But on his last share when he did that weeks ago he said, “Sorry. This really helps me.” I’m grateful it struck me!! WHO THE FUCK AM I to judge someone else’s shares!! Even if he is annoying. He really is I’m grateful I got to kind of make an amends to myself or is that a living amends, and tell him how much I learned from his last share weeks ago. And we had a great conversation as we were leaving.
I’m grateful I fucked up my list by sending it too soon and can continue here.
I’m grateful for my cats looking out the big sliding glass windows looking out at the desert golf course world. I’m grateful Benson is enjoying his after walk bristle bone. I’m grateful when he chuffs. I’m grateful for chuffy dogs.
I’m grateful Alice was pretty good. Decent. At the vet yesterday. She’s the worst!! There was a little blood in her crate when she was there being boarded and I’m grateful we were proactive to get a vet to give her a quick look over before we leave. I’m grateful the didn’t find anything and didn’t want to do anything too invasive on the old cat girl. 17 she is now.
I’m grateful I see progress in me because I’m lucky enough to be working 2 programs. I’m grateful we’re getting along better. Presently. Maybe in general. But I’ll take “just for today.”
I’m grateful is there any other way?
I’m grateful for the support and friendship TS offers and all the magic it works. And you!
Al-Anon’s wisdom, hope, understanding, and encouragement keep me from drowning in a sea of insanity.
I am grateful for my life today, for the calm center I feel within.
I am grateful for all of the love that surrounds me.
I am grateful that I think I might believe in myself a little, which is weird… maybe I don’t believe in myself, but I definitely am not doubting myself. Is there something in between?
I am grateful to just be today, without judgment or worry.
I am grateful to have sold quite a few pieces last night at my first big street market, and I am grateful for the quality time I got to spend with one of my sponsees who came to hang out with me for the whole 4 hours.
I am grateful for the program of Narcotics Anonymous and the people who I meet through it.
Today is a good day.
@JazzyS I’m so happy to hear about the results and THANK YOU for the above In German it is “gestriegelt und geschniegelt” and I love to learn the English expression
I’m with you in this. Today in group therapy I missed the guy who often talks about rather philosophical POVs than about personal experience. He once told me it helps him to cope and heal. I’m grateful I defined goals for this setting: Take what’s for you and leave the rest. Respect all people as they are and step away mentally when it’s exhausting for you. Be kind and be authentic. Share on point, you are all there to learn, to respect, to get help and to have also good times together. I’m deeply grateful I stole all this from what I learned here on TS and I’m deeply grateful for this group therapy🙏
I’m grateful I slept. A lot. I think I fell asleep three times today. I’m grateful for church bells ringing in the morning and cats sleeping on and beside me. So much love. I’m grateful for the AC. I made delicious lunch with leftovers covered with cheese and veggies. I’m grateful with the AC I can cook without fainting. I missed self-cooked meals.
I’m grateful I was able to do chores. God save the AC. I’m not made for this humid heat. I’m sitting in the garden, it’s 10 p.m. and according to the weather app 22 degrees celsius. Nope. It’s warmer and humidity is saturated. I’m sweating. I’ll stay up till midnight and open the windows then to air the house. Inside it’s 22 downstairs and 25 upstairs. TMI. Just tired of summer.
I’m grateful for the sharings in group therapy today. Two massive sharings. I’m grateful we were able to help a colleague with emotional support and exchange of personal experience. She is a wonderful woman in a toxic marriage with 2 little children employed at her husband’s small company. She and I share lot of codependent issues and gaslighting pressure from the spouse. I’m grateful I’m divorced and shared some of my process experiences of the last year how I went on to a healthy life without him and his destructive sayings. I pray for her.
I’m grateful I keep boundaries in sharing. There are things I don’t talk about (yet??) allthough others open up. I’m grateful I listen when I don’t feel save and step back
I’m grateful for this marvellous group of people and the laughter we have. It’s a safe place without judgement. And deep understanding for each other.
I’m grateful to be me. I’m grateful me is appreciated. I’m grateful I can be of service and help. I’m grateful I listen and I’m heard
Another adorable Canadian hey?
Looking good Twinnie.
And happy too.
Wish I could come up there and buy something from ya. But it’s a bit of a haul. Keep up the great work. Love the pic.
Hi friends,
I’m grateful for my houseplants, my family, chili mango popsicles, and cloudy skies. Grateful I’m home and can rest. Grateful for you all❤️
Oh i’m intrigued – are these for real? Did you make at home or are they available at store? How do they taste - i can imagine heavenly
Hope you enjoyed them!
Grateful that you were able to go and tend to the mule and had such a beautiful ride and swim (sounds like an absolutely beautiful time)
