I am grateful for…
3 weeks of sobriety
My walk and jog! Getting back into it feels so good!
Good food.
Real snail mail letters from my friend!
Candles and incense. Love good scents.
Delicious non alcoholic drinks.
My loving family.
My puppy dogs.
The tiredness I feel from my workout. It’s so nice to be tired from doing something healthy, instead of from the booze.
The fact that I didn’t spend the day boozing it up and accomplishing jack shit while slowly killing myself. FAR TOO MANY Saturdays were wasted. No more of that bullshit.
Everyone here who keeps coming back and being so fucking badass and helpful and kind. Priceless!
We got this!

I’m grateful that I’m clean, and have the willingness to do things that (wouldn’t) be my first choice to adjust my way of thinking, & learn to live by spiritual principles. There was a time I thought “this is it I’m destined for failure, & my only way out is when I die”. It’s not like that today in 8 Months with the help of N.A., A.A., TS, a support group of men, a couple women, and my sponsor walking me through the 12 steps I’m truly living a honest fulfilling life I didn’t think was possible. Don’t get it twisted life is in session still things aren’t perfect but I’m learning on a daily basis that no matter what I don’t pick up that first drink or drug to change the way I feel. For all these things I’m grateful for in this moment. Hope everyone is well

Morning gratitude. I’m grateful I had a long, restful sleep tonight and it was cool I’m still a bit dizzy and will catch up some more sleep. I’m grateful for loving and funny cats playing across the house and coming to bed for snuggles. I’m grateful for no dreams, I can’t remember any. So relieving. I’m grateful this morning I feel more like a human and less like a zombie. In hindsight the week was straining and I was at my energy limits. I’m still grateful for everything I accomplished, especially the two dentist appointments

I’m grateful I’m waking up sober day 13.
I’m grateful to a man named Ryann here on vacation, we had to hear his timeshare spiel to get free amusement park tickets. He kept mentioning mentioning his ex wife, so at the end I asked if it was a bad divorce. He said it was heartbreaking 
his partner of 15 years was an alcoholic and he couldn’t do it anymore. In 2021 he filed for divorce and she handled it with more drinking. 5 months ago he got a call she had went into organ failure from untreated cirrhosis at 41 years old. I showed him this app and he hugged me and told me this is the best thing I can do and he’s proud of me and proud I’m vacationing sober 
I’m grateful Ryann shared this with me because this isn’t a passing phase in my life. I’m an alcoholic and like his ex wife and my cousin cirrhosis isn’t unlikely if I pick up again. Sometimes I need a somber story to solidify that I’m taking the right actions.
I’m grateful I laughed last night, a real belly laugh sober.

I’m grateful that sucks 
I’m grateful for the Green Tara Mantra to protect me from fear. I’m grateful I can use it to stay in the present.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get use to saying “the dog.” It’s always been plural. ALWAYS!!

I’m a big ol wave of emotions but the bad feelings aren’t lingering around as much and if it gets bad, I RUN. Run as fast as I can and as long as I can. Screaming in pillows is fun now and crying in showers are a part of daily life. I really enjoyed Allen Carrs book. It makes me look at the why and the perpetual cycle of drinking. Vacation has been easier because we pack activities in from sun up to sun down and being in the woods and the lake is therapeutic. I kinda miss my drinking buddies but I know those relationships weren’t based off real connections but they were 15+ years of my life. How are you? Any recommendations for the next book?

I am so grateful for the hot coffee to start the day and the lovely idea of adding cocoa to it for a special treat – thanks @soberbilly – got to say YUM!
I am so grateful for getting back to basics no matter how often we need to get back to this step – thanks @dazercat
I am so grateful for having moments or people pop up in my life to help at the exact time I need an extra push or motivation or just a “yeah you are on the right path” – grateful that you Roxanne @rainy7 were able to meet Ryan on your vacation. Grateful that you are doing so well and each day is getting to be a bit easier for you. Yeah to 2 weeks tomorrow – Keep strong
I am grateful for having the opportunity to cry and scream and feel all my feelings. How liberating it is to let it all out (our bodies are not meant to hold it all in or drown it with our DOC’s).
I am so grateful that we are learning to love and accept ourselves on this journey and stand up for ourselves. Grateful that @starlight14 was able to set her healthy boundaries and will stick to it. Grateful for your recommendation on Stutz documentary – I enjoyed it thoroughly and have had my entire family watch as well. Do love Quit Like a Woman as well – both were lovely recommendations from Kelly that helped me when I first joined TS.
I am so grateful for finding new friends (ones that I can relate to and help me be a better me) – grateful for being able to walk away from a lifestyle that was holding me back and stunting my growth.
I am so grateful for all the lovely people I am meeting and interacting with on this beautiful site. How replying to one person can make me think of another I’ve met on this journey. Grateful for the ease of navigating this site. Sometimes I forget how much time has passed since I’ve heard from one of my friends (so blessed to have so many friends). Grateful to be better at remembering handles as the avatar does change frequently for some. Grateful for being clean and sober and starting to regain my memory.
I am so grateful for my lovely mother. Amazing that in solidarity my family is trying to stick to the same diet that I am on (they do of course have their celebratory pizza and what not but for the most part eating what I’m eating) – so lovely to see them all getting healthier with me – shedding the excess weight and gaining more energy. I am hopeful that I will start seeing some good results soon too.
I am so grateful for a lovely Sunday – grateful for my cartoons – grateful for a quiet house to myself – grateful for healthy foods to munch on when I do get hungry – grateful that my appetite is getting used to a schedule.
I am so grateful for my HP the daily practices of prayer and meditation – being connected and grounded and for all of this giving me the energy to be and stay positive
I am so grateful for all you lovely souls – grateful each day to have found you and blessed to know you.
HAPPY SUNDAY – have a wonderful carefree day – sending much love

Oh I got Netflix here! Okay I’ll check it out!! my ex checked in and actually said something very “off-putting”, he said don’t go overboard with this sobriety thing, just scale back. I think in a sick way he wants me to be a mess that he has to clean up. Without that dynamic we actually have little in common and that’s terrifying. I wanted him back so badly, but with a clear mind I think I just wanted the comfort

When you’re upset do you feel angrier than you used to since your sober or less? Sorry he was talking to you crazy. Belittling me is one of my BIGGEST triggers

Hmmm i dont like him saying that…you stick to your guns Roxanne, yeah Stutz is brilliant, the anger id say is the same it just sometimes feels harder to process when u cant drown it, at the end of the day tho it was always still there in the end xx
