Iām grateful for 18 days sober.
Iām grateful yesterday I didnāt remember the actual day so my focus on the days is dissipating. Itās becoming my new normal 
Iām grateful Iām finding comfort in random things now like sleepy time tea at night, and eating way better. My hungover greasy binge days arenāt around a couple times a week.
Iām grateful we finally got some rain.
Iām grateful Iām still capable of giving love, working on the receiving.

The smell of booze on my first day of vacation had me in a frenzy. I grabbed some Heineken 0ās but only drank a couple to feel āincludedā lol. Then I watched the voices get higher, faces get redder, outpouring of emotions and I was good. I hope you guys have some good family time and prayers for hubby to stay strong.

@Bomdhil Glad to see you doing well and adding on the days Thomas - hope you are feeling better from your cold
HAPPY FRIDAY my beautiful sober companions
I am so grateful for a lovely day to be alive - given another chance to heal and do better / be better. I am blessed to have the time needed to work on myself from every which way. I am grateful that i am not squandering this away.
I am so grateful that i am finding myself pushing myself a bit more everyday and only getting a little resistance. I am grateful that iām ok with seeing small changes and have abandoned my expectations for fast results.
I am so grateful for my amazing family and all the damn support they offer - what an amazing gift iāve received and am grateful for not taking them for granted.
I am so grateful that i just spoke with my favorite uncle (he is visiting from India and will be leaving Sunday)- he is at my parents house today as my aunts place is without internet so like 2 min away from me YEAH! I am going to get my energy sorted and spend the day with him - i am beyond excited.
I am so grateful for showers that no longer cause me severe pain (still a bit uncomfortable but i know that will improve in time).
I am so grateful for an overcast day that is cooler without humidity.
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer and my Higher Power. Grateful everyday that i was shown this path to sobriety and no it has not been easy but tbh I am blessed that it hasnāt been as much of a struggle as iāve encountered before - thanks to all of you and your support.
I am so grateful for seeing so many days adding up on my recovery - sometimes i just write the dates on my check in thread and think WOW - iāve done that - and take a minute to digest how awesome that feels.
I am so grateful that i have my uncle to hang out with today - my brothers GF is coming here cause she has no power. I am not going to let this spoil my day
I am so grateful that I have had two cups of piping hot coffee and my soul feels content - now i should make some juice and clear the kitchen before she arrives
I am so grateful for all of you being on this journey with me - thank you for being you for being awesome!
Have a wonderful Friday my beautiful sober souls ā sending much love

Iām grateful we had a nice time.

Iām grateful for my Thursday nooner. Al-Anon meeting. Iām grateful for the different fun topic of āDoās and Donāts,ā from the Alcoholism The Family Disease pamphlet.
Iām grateful we enjoyed the new Indiana Jones movie. We both had a lot of fun. Iām grateful we both want to wait until the crowds dissipate before we see the Barbie movie. Iām grateful we both want to see the Oppenheimer movie and that we are both on the fence about sitting through a 3 hour movie that we can wait and watch in the comfort of our home when it streams. Iām grateful we have a lot of practical shit like that in common.
Iām grateful for lunches at home.
Iām grateful I could not go outside this morning as Alice insisted I stay inside with her snuggling and purring on my lap.

Good afternoon.
We made it home, all in one piece. The rental vehicle was in one piece, the three of us unscathed with full hearts. We are grateful.
I asked my kiddo what she was thankful for the other night before we turned the lights out, her responseā¦ āI am thankful you gave me some time when I was overwhelmed and you didnt get mad at me.ā
Yeah me too, I am also grateful for that, which brings me right back to spiritual principles like it always does. I am grateful for step 12, " Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs " All of my affairs means everythingā¦ thats a lot. I am grateful for progress not perfection and I feel like I have learned to prioritized quite well, most days.
I am grateful for water pressure and clean towels, room to move and places to stretch out.
I am grateful to have had some days away with my child and I am grateful to be home too. I missed my life! What an interesting concept hey??? Being on holiday and missing home.
I love my life.

3am gratitude
I am grateful my dear friend who unfortunately had a serious house fire that their whole family got out safely.
This happened the day before his wedding.
Iām grateful they still went ahead with the wedding.
Iām grateful I see that as hard as it has been to pack up our home for the temporary move, although that been delayed. Iām grateful I realised when I was moaning how lucky I am to have our belongings to pack - my dear friend was left with just his underwear and luckily his family. Iām grateful he said he realised although everything that was lost he has felt so wealthy because his family survived. Iām grateful I could see the stuff I was struggling with was something I was taking for granted, and that although there have been set backs.
Iām actually very lucky, and itās my mind tricking me to believe that big life changes moving so fast are me making them feel more difficult. Change my mindset.
Iām grateful I have all my pets, grateful I have somewhere to temporarily move too, grateful the damp work is being sorted finally.
Grateful I can see the positives, grateful Iām still sober. It has been close in my mindset to almost not be.
Again I am grateful to change my way of thinking - maybe feeling sorry for myself.
Grateful some medical issues that looked serious after some tests actually were perfect after extra testing.
Grateful for this huge scare, grateful it made me look at how to live better.
Iām grateful for all of you 
without you all my life wouldnāt be where it is today, I wouldnāt be who I am today. Sober and grateful and supported. Iām truly grateful for you all.
Itās 3am maybe will take some reading here and drop back off to sleep.
Thank you for reading

@dakotahjae So very happy for you Darcy. Loving those beautiful smiles!
@bomdhil so grateful to hear that you are about to beat your longest streak in the past year. Grateful for you using all the tools in your toolbox and fighting the urges.
@soberbilly YUPPPERS oreoās are vegan (dangerous information to have LOL)ā¦ Now they have gluten free and vegan double stuff oreoās and damn they are delicious. ENJOY! Way to handle the fender bender. Glad to see that your daily practices are paying off.
@Twizzlers good to see you and your gratitudeās. Grateful that your friend and his family are safe. Grateful that you are finding the positives in life and surroundings ā most of all Iām grateful that your testing came back perfect (so sorry you went through that scare).
Friday evening gratitudeā¦
I need to find some gratitude - been an interesting day that i did get through so i am grateful for that. I went to visit my fav uncle (N) which i got to spend a short time with. Had to leave early as my other uncle (D) came and i needed to create some distance. Went into the restaurant to help out so my parents could go home (my mom is one of 7 siblings and today 5 of them were together - so i wanted them to have as much sibling time together as possible). Was nice to work but realized that i still have major fatigue and the constant moving caused a lot of swelling - iām grateful that i am able to relax now and see a bit of relief. My brothers GF is staying here while her power is out (i believe itās back but whatever)ā¦ she had the whole house smelling of something intensely strong (i can not handle strong scents as they trigger migraines) ā i am grateful that i have been trying to do deep breathing and head massages to keep this splitting headache from becoming worse. She says she forgot about the scents and wanted to take a bubble bath - what bubble bath causes the whole house to smell? Iām in the basement and feel like iām soaked in it.
I am so grateful that i will go into work tomorrow so i will not be here with her tomorrow - iām told she will go home tomorrow. I am grateful that I did not have to interact with her today.
Sorry - this may not be the best gratitudeās but i needed to try so that i can find peace and go to sleep ā thanks for listeningā¦ happy Friday / Saturday to all ā Sending much loveā¦

I hear ya, @Sunflower - I gotta get back here on the home thread with some regularity myself.
Iām grateful last weekend was a blast, that my pal and I giggled our way nervously through a night in a tent during an incredible thunderstorm. The next day was beautiful. Grateful to watch birds hunt for bugs in the trees and dive for fish in the lake. Grateful for camp coffee. For white-tailed deer and how they bound away. Grateful to walk through the trees on my own patch of land and smile. Thatās more than enough for now - makes my heart burst with gratitude.
Grateful for the busy week I had. That I get to practice equanimity at every turn. 
Grateful to be able to sit with impermanence, with unpredictability.
My old pal in the north who was ill passed away. Itās sad but good. He wasnāt one to be sick.
Grateful I smile when I think of my own years ahead, and how I want to live them. Grateful I turned a whole 53 years old on Monday! Would you believe - it is the fourth consecutive sober birthday for me? Grateful thereās no pull to mark the occasion with booze. Grateful to be sober. Grateful for my recovery. Best gift I could give myself.
Grateful for the smiles on @Dakotahjae and her girlsā faces! Delightful!
Smashing sunrise @Cjp. Thank you for being such ray of sunshine. Beautiful. 
Iām grateful for all of you.
Iām grateful for another day.
