Im grateful to miss this thread, the best home thread ever. Im grateful to have gotten busy with a home full of darling daughters and even a new cat.
Im grateful for lunches packed for me from the leftovers from the epic dinners my oldest darling daughter makes for me and most grateful for the heart bursting notes inside.
Grateful for the 10 hour shifts of overtime were getting at work and very grateful i made it through the layoffs that took 40% of the payroll. Im having a grand moment in the sun and im grateful to relish in it.
Grateful today marks one month in our new home. Grateful TO BE OFF SUBOXONE and can now start working the steps with my sponsor.
Im grateful i have so very much to be grateful for right now.
Grateful for plum village meditations. Check them out, its a free app made as a gift to the world by a ā¦monkdom (what are they called??) in France.

Morning gratitude!
Thanks @JazzyS the night was ok and Iām glad I set an alarm.
Iām grateful for my house, for having a reliable roof over my head when a crazy thunderstorm strikes. Fuck was it loud, I was asleep and startled when thunderbold set in. My poor cats were frightened, too loud for them.
Iām grateful I fell asleep again after I closed the windows. Iām grateful I went to the bathroom at 4 and opened all windows to let the cool air in. Fell asleep again like a rock in the breeze. Would like to sleep on 
but have to pack.
Iām grateful the sun is shining and for the next 2 hours it will not get too hot Then Iām on the highway and donāt care.
Iām grateful for a cold shower, so vivifying. Iām grateful I feel rested and fine. I even found my (!) meditation stone Missi hid/lost half a year ago when she was permanently playing with it! A good omen
Have a good and sober day dear fellow gratitudes

Iām grateful @Dazercat has made the move safely with his family (furry family included!).
Iām grateful @erntedank is off on a road trip-enjoy!
Iām grateful for the daily reminders on this site why Iām working on my sobriety everyday and why I canāt ever become complacent. There is so much joy and living to gain amd so much to lose in the other direction.
Iām grateful to be home.
Iām grateful to our friend who has looked after our cat and all my many indoor and outdoor plants.
Iām grateful my dog has been my shadow since I got back and is giving so many cuddles.
Iām grateful I think of all the other pet owners here when Iām cuddling my furbies and it brings me joy knowing the happiness you all find in your pets too.
Iām grateful although I didnāt get the job I interviewed for yesterday I got great feedback and was advised of another similar position being advertised soon.
Iām grateful they strongly recommended I apply.
Iām grateful although I was disheartened initially, I took a moment, recognised I had done my best and that I was no worse off than before the interview.
Iām grateful turning to alcohol was only a passing thought which I replaced with a plan for a pamper night.
Iām grateful for waking up sober today with cool painted nails.
Iām grateful for all of you awesome soberistas.

Oh @Dazercat this does break my heart because Iāve been there. I had to hear the words out of my sonās mouth (when he was 5) āmom, why are your hands shaking so much?ā He was scared! I was - I hate to admit - more embarrassed than worried at the time. My worry was to get something to control the shaking (aka a drink). It was a while until I realized I HAD to stop. I have to say that one thing Iām always grateful for is my steady hands and neat handwriting, because it was not always like this for many, many years.
Iām hoping and praying that this realization comes to your wife soon, the need to stop, the willingless and resolve to change. The certainty that alcohol does not bring ANYTHING good. At all. With such an amazingly supportive husband, I know she will have the tools to make your lives so much better Sending love, prayers and hugs your way. For your sobriety, for your wifeās journey and for your move

Good morning all! Itās Saturday morning and I am here to share my gratitude with this amazing community.
Today I have 666 days free from the devil that is alcohol. Wooooot! I am grateful to be free.
I am grateful for the time I got to spend with my various families in the past few weeks. I had precious one on one time with my brother who had hit 90 days clean!
I had precious time with my younger son. We played together at the beach. Yup, my 31 year old son and I went floating around and played on those foam floaties they call noodles. Cuz mama was so pleased to have him home. Heās doing great and thinking about how to move closer to home from California. We committed to figuring out better visit routines. Iām so proud of him.
I am grateful to have found my lifeās work in schools 37 years ago. Despite my various lifelong challenges, including alcohol addiction, I know I have a purpose and reason to be alive and to be working. This week saw the return to work, meeting with teachers, preparing our classrooms, planning the start of year 37. I get to mentor some brand new teachers this year, what an honor.
I am grateful for the solitude I got to enjoy in my little school on Friday afternoon. Everyone had left for the weekend and I had a few hours of organizing and planning and visualizing what is coming up for that space. At one point I sat at my desk and had a wave of emotionā¦ pride, joy, gratitude that I am in this place now in my life. Anxiety and rage are disappearing and an aura of peace is settling on my shoulders. I have made great progress in this journey and my attention to myself is allowing me to get to this place to serve others in peace and love. I cannot put into words what this means to me.
I wish you all a day of peace and grace for yourself.

I am grateful I slept well tonight. Until 6 am. A record.
I am grateful for having sparkling water again.
I am glad I was in from grocery shopping before it began to rain. Pouring rain and thunder. I like this when I am inside.
I am grateful I called a friend and we spoke for some minutes.
I am grateful I can name my feelings a bit better now. How I feel. Starting again - sigh. Thatās the feeling.
I am grateful that even though itās humid and relatively warm still itās completely different to the air at the CĆ“te dāAzur. I can breathe here.
I am grateful that I attended a morning yoga session.

My sister is coming over this weekend (grateful for this too) and she will look through to see if she needs / wants anything.
I am so grateful that i have brought over my comforter and sheets ā finally will feel a little more like my bed
I am so grateful that my parents have a large sized washing machine / dryer so i can wash my comforter at home and not have to go to a laundromat
I am so grateful for enjoying a lovely cup of coffee that has now gone cold so i will go heat up another cup :cup: Need the warmth!
I am so grateful that i am not fatigued today and will make the most of the day.
I am so grateful that it looks like a overcast mid 70ās kind of day - may go for a nice walk and enjoy the fresh air
I am so grateful for all my support with family, friends and from this community! I really donāt think i would have made it this far without all of the love and non judgmental companionship!
I am so grateful for light exercises, seated yoga, mindful body scans (its crazy how much i need to work on - i realize this when i stop and focus on each and every part of me), deep breathing, meditation and prayer, ALL the Connections (mentally, spiritually and emotionally) with my HP and my surroundings.
I am so grateful for Living for having this opportunity to heal and do things better. Grateful for gratitude practice which has changed my ways of thinking.
I am so grateful for another addiction free day for all of us - sending you all so much love

I am grateful this morning to be back on here.
I am grateful that I stopped in to read Ericās post last night and that it stopped me in my tracks, thinking that canāt be me and itās going to be me - but Iād be alone.
I am grateful that I can still make better choices, right choices and do the next right thing.
I am grateful to have some hope and a tad wee bit of peace, in what is the hardest point in my life that I have ever faced - knowing that doing it sober is the next right thing.
