I’m looking forward to it 
the holidays are my favorite, thanksgiving in particular for some reason I just enjoy taking a day where I’m supposed to relax and think about everything I’m thankful for. I do it everyday but it’s in between a busy schedule lol

Hi friends,
I’m grateful for a job that offers sick time, and that now I use it when I am sick. I’m grateful for the lightning and thunder outside, maybe we will even get some rain. I’m grateful for my family, and that they each did what they could to help life run smoothly while I was feeling sick. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness, and for you guys❤️

I’m grateful I woke up sober 
I’m grateful for day 16
I’m grateful the knot in my tummy is only before bed and after I wake up. Throughout the day it’s been easing up.
I’m grateful for this community.
I’m grateful for my friends and family that are supporting my decision and who are understanding I’m in need of space until my nerves and emotions regulate more.
I’m grateful for wanting this for myself, and it not being court ordered this time

@its_me_stella Love the picture. If you don’t mind sharing – what is your handle on Etsy – would love to support you and I can never have enough jewelry.
@jwfletcher4792 I totally get taking one day to devote to thanks even when we do it daily. I never did celebrate Thanksgiving growing up but have started to now as an adult. Its all about great company, sharing in love and all the good food too. How lovely it will be to celebrate it sober and remember all the moments!
@soberbilly awe thanks friend! Glad that Madi’s doing well and now enjoying oodles of ice cream! You look so happy and peaceful with your coffee (on the selfie thread). Keep enjoying life to the fullest
@pattycake Well done on your 2 weeks Patricia! So grateful to have you here with us – happy to hear that you are feeling stronger and inspired – keep strong my friend!
YES! This is when it sticks. We need to do this for us and only us – only then can we be of any use to anyone else. Kicking addictions ass odaat.
Happy Hump Day my sober companions…What a beautiful journey we are all on together!
I am so grateful for waking up (the 2nd time) refreshed - grateful to be sitting here with my hot cup of coffee and feeling my insides slowly waking up and feeling excited.
I am so grateful that my friend reached out to me yesterday and he wanted to see how i was doing and meet for lunch. I think i will try to make this happen. He just got back home yesterday from a business trip in Asia so I know he is going to be super busy with catching up - grateful that he still took the time to think of me and wants to catch up.
I am so grateful that the trees are dancing so there must be some wind blowing.
I am so grateful that i kept to my boundary yesterday - I had told my brother that I want no interaction with his gf (i can manage a polite hi / bye but that is the extent of it) - she was in the garage when i came up to see who my brother was talking to and when i realized who it was i turned right around and went away. Not sure if she saw but i really am not going to dwell on it.
I am so grateful for the support of my family and friends. Grateful for unconditional love. Grateful for compromise and acceptance. Grateful for boundaries and self-preservation.
I am so grateful for movement - i have been doing light movement and slowly getting my 10 k steps in - indoors as the heat / humidity irritate the skin ailments. I have not seen a negative effect from this - i am so relieved and hope to keep continuing and possibly adding on more activitiy. Grateful that i do a little bit and my mind goes straight to what i was doing before and i have the sense to say STOP - baby steps…i do hope to get that level of energy back some day.
I am so grateful that i have my daily practices, my HP and my motivation to keep moving forward.
I am so grateful for the healing powers of music, laughter and nature. So much love and around us - just need to tap into it.
I am so grateful that i just got my text for lunch and it’s in an hour so i need to eat something now as i won’t be able to eat there (just meeting to catch up - lol) … I know i will not drink and i know that i will have a great time. Gotta get ready -
have a wonderful day my beautiful friends… Grateful for all of you and this lovely site. Thank you for being here with me.
Much love to all …

I’m grateful for my meeting last night
I’m grateful for the nugget I heard. More like a “pearl.”
I’m grateful the topic was about change and joy and happiness.
I’m grateful I listened.
I’m grateful I think I still take things to literally and still black and white maybe.
Ya know……I keep reading in the Al-Anon welcome about how we can still find joy and happiness in our lives whether the alcoholic is drinking or not. I’m grateful, like all feelings happiness, sadness, joy, anger, you name the feeling they come and go. I’m grateful Marilyn shared about this and said. “But, am I satisfied with my life?” “Yes!”
I’m pretty satisfied when I wake up and then my 2 grays take turns purring away on my chest.
I’m pretty satisfied after I feed and do my chores in the morning and I see my babies all comfortable and getting ready for an after breakfast nap.
I’m pretty satisfied I’ve been blessed enough to have a wife of 40 years and we’ve probably been together 42 years. And we’ve had some wonderful times together and we’ve been through hell.
I’m pretty fucken satisfied I got grandchildren in Dallas and Thousand Oaks.
I’m pretty fucken satisfied my grown up children are recovered from their addiction. Presently.
I’m satisfied I got this beautiful deck and Benson on my lap with a gorgeous cup of coffee and a golf course to look at through the ponderosa pines.
I am so fucking satisfied that I had the most beautiful dog in the world for 16 years who gave me unconditional love and laughs. Boy she made us laugh. She was the squirreliest funniest gorgeous loving always fucken there for me. ALWAYS!!
I’m satisfied I got window cleaners today doing inside 
and out.
I’m satisfied I have a roof over my head a comfy bed, food in the house, or I can go out to eat, air conditioning, running water, electricity, trash guys come once a week to haul my trash.
I’m satisfied my 21 year old Laguna Seca Blue M3 still runs great and looks good on me 
I’m satisfied I can come here every morning and express my feelings of joy, sadness, anger, happiness, with the best support group money can buy. You guys are so cheap 
I love you.
So ya………
I’m grateful I’m pretty fucking satisfied with my life whether my alcoholic wife is drinking or not. And she is.
Pretty satisfied with the fresh broccoli and hummus I’ve been eating lately too.
“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness, it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.”

I just looked for a gratitude quote as I usually do and this is the first one I saw 
now I’m pretty fucking satisfied that’s a sign from god or my HP.

Today I’m grateful for good sleep with only weird dreams, no nightmares. I’m grateful I fetched my reliable car from the garage. The bill burnt. If I want to have a car I have to take care of it. Sigh, life became pretty expensive.
I’m grateful for my psychiatrist appountment today. He changed the dosage of the meds, I should be out of this fucking depression in a few weeks. I’m grateful for follow up appointments, fixed dates give me structure and make me feel safe and cared.
I’m grateful for shiatsu therapy today. I feel exhausted in a good way.
I’m grateful for healthy, self-cooked meals.
I’m grateful for my lovely cats, they are my sunshine.
I’m grateful for all the comfort in my life. I pray that the feeling of loneliness will pass. I’m grateful for ODAAT.

Today I am grateful for…
25 days of sobriety.
Workouts and walks.
Fresh air.
Good food and refreshing drinks.
My dogs (even though Rasputin was naughty and went through the trash lol).
Texts with friends.
Some healthy tears I shed. More than likely caused by hormone fluctuations lol. Grateful for the release.
My parents and brother.
TS warriors.
Music.
Comfy, clean clothes.
Sleep.
Oh yeah, wanted to edit and add…I was on my walk and there was an elderly man with a cane carrying a gas can, walking down the road. I felt so bad, but obviously I was walking and couldn’t give him a ride. But seconds later, this young kid pulled up next to him and helped him into his car. I know this is kinda sappy, but I’m so grateful for random acts of kindness. I’m grateful I got to witness that moment.

I’m grateful for my cats 
I’m grateful for coffee and no one talking to me while I drink it.
I’m grateful for air conditioning. Mid 90s all week.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to talk about mental health with my department at work next week. I just have to figure out what to say. Not sure I’m up for including addiction in that discussion.
I’m grateful for good music.
I’m grateful for radio broadcasts of Red Sox games.
I’m grateful for all of you!

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful to be fighting my way out of the slump I’ve been in. I’m grateful that I know if I just get back to the basics ( and get back on the home thread regularly), it’ll help me much more. I’m grateful for a day off of work. I’m grateful for a comfortable home with AC, plenty of food, clean water. I’m grateful we are safe.

I’m grateful for my wife.
I’m grateful we had a nice chat about our future together. I’m grateful it’s together.
I’m grateful she initiated the conversation.
I’m grateful I stuck to my boundary of I don’t want to go out to lunch if you’re drinking.
I’m grateful I’m worth that. Deserve that. And need that boundary for me. Today.
I’m grateful she was out by 8.
I’m grateful I called it a night at 8:30 and I was asleep in bed by 9. I’m grateful for a super nights sleep. I’m grateful to be up early hoping to walk Benson alone. I’m grateful she just asked me to walk Benson alone and she’s going back to bed.
I’m grateful I got a meeting today.
I’m grateful after the meeting we will try and go to a movie.
I’m grateful the miso peach sauce turn out great on my pork chop last night 
I’m grateful for Mavy Trotter. Maverick does this silly trot around the house when he hears or thinks it’s time for food.
I’m grateful I didn’t step in the cat puke this morning. I still don’t know where it is.
I’m grateful I had Benson on my lap out side.
I’m grateful for Julie Andrews.
I’m grateful for my love of musicals.
I’m grateful for my mom who was a musician and instilled my love of musicals. Even though I was probably kicking and screaming when I was a child forced to see them. I’m grateful musicals now are my happy place.
I’m grateful after more than 3 and a half years of gratitude I still wake up each morning thinking of gratitude and what I’m going to post here. I’m grateful I generally forget by the time I’m posting and make up some new shit that I’m grateful for. I’m grateful for gratitude and the way it starts my day.
I’m grateful for my home thread.
I’m grateful I get to walk Benson now before it gets too hot.

Cheap? Ah – you gotten the bill yet… Grateful to have you on this journey with me. Thank you! OOH - love Julie Andrews and now i may have an ear worm … Grateful how Gratitude’s have become such an inherent part of your day
@cjp YEAH road trip time!!! I hope you have a safe and amazing family reunion. We will be right here if you need us.
@geng Thanks for your update -I do love knowing that kindness exists and it is so heartwarming to see it in action. Dang girl – 25 days… you are killing it!
You so silly – I love it! Grateful for your sense of humor. BTW – beautiful sunset pics – thanks for sharing.
happy Thursday morning my beautiful sober souls…
I am grateful that i was able to go and spend a bit of time with my parents this morning. My mother is too adorable - she went shopping yesterday and wanted to model off her new threads for me. I loved it!
I am so grateful that i have made a list of items to accomplish today and feel confident that they are doable. I did not get much sleep but reading around it seems that many are in the similar boat - might be something in the stars … i am grateful for my coffee to give me the right amount of comfort and pep.
I am so grateful for a beautiful day - breathing in clean air - ability to take deep breathes without wheezing - grateful for walking up the stairs without holding on to the walls/ railings. I am grateful for LIFE
I am so grateful for sore achy muscles (these are from the walking i’ve been doing) - grateful to know the different types of aches and pains (some are actually good and welcome). I am grateful that my recent uptake in activity has not caused any weight gain (no loss either but hey at least i’m able to move without blowing up).
I am so grateful for seated yoga and deep breathing - grateful for lying with my feet straight up so that my legs get proper blood flow.
I am so grateful for family, friends, and this beautiful TS community for allowing me to have meaningful connections. Grateful for the love and support and helping me stay on this new found path. Grateful that it is not too late and I am ever so grateful to be appreciating every bit of what life has to offer.
I am so grateful for my Higher Power - through meditation / prayer I am able to feel connected and grounded - I no longer feel alone. I am grateful for the wisdom and the energy to keep moving forward the right direction
I am so grateful for healthy foods that have such amazing healing properties. Grateful for learning about these and applying the knowledge to my daily diet
I am so grateful for dancing like a fool and singing loudly (don’t worry - no one is around) and laughing uncontrollably – grateful to be reminded of how uninhibited we were as kids (trying to get some of that back)
I am so grateful for all of you - have a wonderful addiction free Thursday - Sending much love.

Today I’m grateful I stayed in bed in the morning, the old boy and Missi needed cuddles and snuggling up to me. I’m grateful for the cool breeze through the house, it was so comfy I fell asleep twice. Finally humidity and temperatures droped significantly
I’m grateful the meds are working, already feeling a bit better today. I’m grateful all the cat chores are done for being away until tomorrow evening. I’m grateful I arrived safely, the traffic was ugly. I’m grateful I went, there - as usual - was this emotional spot before leaving when I started crying and wanted to stay home. Maybe this has to do with my fear of loosing loved ones when I am away. My beloved grandma died peacefully in her sleep at home decades ago, me and my parents were both on different vacacions when it happened. I’ll take this thought to my therapist to discuss.
I’m grateful for a wonderful visit to the cartoon museum. I’m still smiling.
I’m grateful I parked the car at the hotel and went there. It was a nice walk. I’m grateful I change routines.
I’m grateful to be here in this lovely town, having yummi dinner, enjoying the tourists and languages around me. It’s a lovely evening and I’m grateful to be here and enjoy it. I’m grateful the strong codependent urge to write my ex a postcard passed. Thanks for HALT

I’m grateful I never turned to crime. I’m grateful I never ended my life. I’m grateful my PTSD has mostly healed so I can begin working on and enjoying my life more consciously. I’m grateful for nature, forests, deserts, fields, marshes, mountains, rivers, lakes, beaches, the ocean, caves, the sky, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, snow, animals, birds, fish, insects, to be the human I am with sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, limbs to use and a brain to think and navigate this jam-packed earth floating through space. I’m grateful for time. I’m grateful I understand the origins of my addictions. I’m grateful I understand what’s valuable in life. I’m grateful I value sobriety. I’m grateful for psychologists. I’m grateful for you & this community. I’m grateful for the dopamine boost outdoor exercise provides me. I’m grateful for the clarity meditation provides. I’m grateful for good food. I’m grateful our brains are rewireable. I’m grateful.
Motto of the day: to conquer fear & discomfort, face & embrace them
