I’m grateful when I started this Gratitude Business almost 4 years ago I’m still doing it today. And almost ever morning of my life. I’m grateful it is such a powerful tool.

I’m grateful when I first started my gratitude work I was only grateful for 1 day sober and another day without a hangover.
Then I was grateful for 2 days sober and 2 days without a hangover and my 4 cats and 2 dogs.
The next day I was grateful for the same and I added my wife and my home. Then I added my children………
I’m grateful I read everyone else’s gratitude every day to see what they were grateful for and many times I was like. Oh ya…… I’m grateful for that too.
I’m grateful I had no idea of the power of this gratitude practice and I just couldn’t wait to get here each day, (still do,) especially in the morning, to write and read gratitude and look at all I have when I’m sober. It’s a lot!
Today I’m grateful for my comfy chair and my morning indirect sunrise view and Benson who just chuffed at someone walking by outside. I’m grateful for chuffy dogs. I’m grateful my wife just got up and we are still saying “good morning I love you,” to each other. I’m grateful I didn’t start a counter for that one because I’d be looking it up.
Today I can honestly say I’m grateful for the alcoholic in my life and how she figuratively drove me to Al-Anon, a broken lost, husband and father when my life became unmanageable because of her drinking. I’m grateful my wife didn’t drink yesterday and I don’t know if she’s drinking today. I’m grateful it doesn’t matter what she does. Of course I would prefer her not to drink but her drinking or not, is her business. I’m grateful I have my boundaries in place and can continue to not enable her and I can keep my serenity and more importantly my sobriety.

I’m grateful I’m getting my Beemer into the shop today for it’s annual check up. I’m grateful I’ve had it for 23 years and I just can’t seem to find a reason to part with it.
I’m grateful I got therapy again tomorrow and every Tuesday. I’m grateful I got a sponsor who wants to meet with me on Wednesday.
I’m grateful for all the support I get from TS and all the people here that look out for my well being. It’s fucking magical Thanks for having my back
Oh almost forgot I’m grateful for my Stumptown French roast coffee beans this morning. I quit doing French roast because of the bitter aftertaste. I’m grateful Stumptown must have some kind of magic beans or something because there is no bitter aftertaste. I’m fucken wired and grateful to get my day going.
