I’m grateful to hear that @Dazercat and wifey are starting to feel much better.
I’m grateful @JazzyS is nearly at 1 year. I hope you are going to treat yourself when it arrives!
I’m grateful I enjoyed my first day at work. I think it is a good fit for me at the moment and there is opportunity for training and progression in the future, should I want it.
I’m grateful my cat grabbed my hand between his paws and has just spent 10 minutes cleaning my whole hand. What a silly, lovely boy :smile::blush:

I knew I couldn’t be the only one who did know, Eric. Thanks for the link :wink:

@JazzyS I named him Pablo (he is originally from Spain, olé!). I just got him two months ago from people who were moving to the US. I’m very happy to have him, three years without a dog in my home felt not complete :blush:

@Dilettante thanks friend - no major celebrations this year - just grateful to have made it and still going strong. Did get myself a lovely 1 year chip to remember this achievement. Grateful that i am able to be there for my family when they need me (like the change).
@Naomi Beautiful dog Pablo - grateful that he was able to help complete your home :hugs:

Thursday morning gratefulness with my sober friends :people_hugging:
I am so grateful for a beautiful morning start. Woke up before my alarm (wanted more sleep but gratefully got up and moving).
I am so grateful that i will be able to go see my mom before heading into work this morning.
I am so grateful that I will go in for my weekly treatment tonight. I always feel better after having it done. I am becoming more hopeful that i will see some positive results by the end of January.
I am so grateful for hitting my 1 year of sobriety today. 1 year of being free of all my addictions, of living a healthier life being more mindful of my interior as well as my exterior. Grateful for the support from my family and this community to get me to this point. Truely can not do this alone. Grateful for the tools that i have gathered along the way to help keep me trekking. This is a life long journey and i plan on having a long and healthy life.
I am so grateful for the break we are about to get next week from the restaurant and hospital. Grateful that we can do the prep and deliveries on our own time. No need to rush anything.
I am so grateful that i was able to dye my hair and give myself a manicure last night. The house is clean and no pressing chores need to be done. This is my minds way of enjoying my special day - being free of all responsibility LOL. I will go in and help out today at the restaurant but that will be fun. I will be able to set my pace and do the behind the scenes work so no interactions with customers which I am so grateful for as i find that it draining for me at this time.
I am so grateful for a warm December day. I was hoping to go for a walk and listen to some tunes today but alas i don’t know if that is in the cards for today.
I am so grateful for my HP. I know that i would not have gotten this far without Him. Grateful for my meditation/ prayer practices that keep me connected to Him.
I am so grateful for taking it ODAAT! learning to live life on life’s terms. Learning to accept my flaws and work on them with gentleness as we are human and forever growing.
I am so grateful for ALL OF YOU! thank you for being a part of my journey. Grateful for the support direct and indirect that i receive daily from this community.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day. Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I’m grateful for music and that I am able to hear so that I can enjoy music.

I’m grateful I live 500 miles away from my family, especially during this special time of the year.

I’m grateful my ex-girlfriend is my ex-girlfriend and that a year ago I told her I don’t want to still be friends with her. I’m grateful that if we see each other in passing, we both say hi and go on our ways without any awkward discomfort–at least on my end.


@Cjp king sized beds are the best!
@JazzyS hand written letters are still the best to receive. One year is amazing. Great work! So many congratulations!
