Today Iām grateful that everything went well. Iām grateful I could exchange a non-fitting part for the cat condo at the shop, grateful they had the one I needed. Iām grateful I found two posters for the nice frames I bought. Gonna mount them tomorrow. Iām grateful I made a stroll through a big furniture store and collected ideas. Iām grateful I am patient these days. As the court appointment approaches with every day I work harder to enjoy my house to the fullest and not think about what will be and how I could cope. Itās a shizo situation. I had to tell myself often today that whatever the future holds, itās not my business today. Today Iām here to enjoy.
Iām grateful for a long bath in my vast bathtub. My back and hip were aching and I decided that a bath, homemade ointment and a good rest could possibly help. Iām grateful I feel better.
Iām grateful a friend called. These days are exhausting and straining for some of my friends. Iām grateful they call me to vent, to talk it out, to find encouragement. Iām grateful I am there for them 
Iām grateful for healthy boundaries. Another friend called me in the evening and wanted to come over. They are a group who always meet on saturday at a guy nearby. I said she can come but all the others not. No party at my house, Iāll be sleeping in an hour and thereās no alcohol in my house. Iām grateful they all stayed where they were. I like my quiet zone. Already drunk people are awkward, I donāt want them in my house, nevertheless I like them sober.
Iām grateful I sat on the balcony with tea and gratitude when two little tractors came out of the wood. They have to cross my land and I was grateful they were driving slowly and carefully.
Iām grateful the cats feel good, have fun, eat & poop a lot, snuggle, cuddle, purr and play. It makes me happy how much they enjoy this cozy, big house. And of course looking out the windows watching all kind of wildlife. Iām grateful I decided to move here at least for autumn season. Itās beautiful.
Oh, and I donāt have a TV here, the ex took it. Iām grateful I did not miss it in the last 10 days since I moved in. Turning it on at the town house is obviously just a habit that I donāt miss.
Iām grateful for all my blessings, for peace and joy, for friends and pets, for kindness and boundaries. ODAAT

Iām grateful to God for lovingly guiding me and helping me abstain from most of my addictions. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful I havenāt relapsed on drugs or alcohol. I have been consuming alot of sugar, nicotine and caffeine, all of which are clearly addictive in my mind. Iām grateful I can admit I struggle with saying Iām an addict working on my recovery (especially when at a meeting or qualifying as a chairperson) when I am currently not working on those. Iām grateful for progess not perfection but also fear that I can fall into the trap of manipulating the slogans and program for my own selfish needs. Iām grateful I have a good job. Iām grateful that I can again admit I am resentfully wondering how my application for school is still on hold. It was stated that until I pay my outstanding tuition it will remain on hold, my logical brain thinks, well, you sent it to collections so its now off your books. I donāt believe that they will be monitiring the debt they sold off to know when its done being paid for? 
Iām grateful I have the weekend off. Iām grateful I went golfing yesterday regardless of the fact that my expectations to play well didnāt even come close to working out. Iām grateful I can post a selfie here on our home thread. @Sunflower1
Iām grateful for my sponsor. Iām grateful I have a new sponsee and that he is local and has had over a year and a half clean in the time Iāve know him. Iām grateful he has held onto his area and group service positions after a vote due to his recent relapse. Iām grateful I wasnāt involved in that, but, I guess I could abstain from a vote like that because I feel it would be hard to be non-biased. Iām grateful he bought me lunch after I invited him to a meeting this morning. Iām grateful my local CA group has a business meeting tonight followed by the regular meeting where we read and discuss the big book of AA. Iām grateful that I am gathering some courage to type it out here, in spite of my twisted thinking that mentioning a date on here is bad luck. I asked a lady from the rooms with 17 years sober to join me for coffee this week and she said yes. I am hoping I was clear enough that she will consider it a coffee date and not just coffee with another recovering alcoholic. Iām grateful I let go of one of my service positions and declined offers for other ones recently, including a chance to join the church choir at my church and another church asked me to be a youth group leader. Iām grateful for those opportunities and that I can address them again in the future when and if I or my higher power think its the right time and fit. Iām grateful for humor and laughter. Iām grateful for prayer and meditation. Iām grateful for the @moderators who work to block posts from the sadly still suffering addict or mental health struggling individual. Iām grateful that a problem shared with God, gratidudes, recovery groups or whatever supports, is a problem halfed.
May our higher powers grant us serenity.
p.s. I beleive in you, chin up. Ya you!!

This is difficult indeed. I can imagine it being hard to not be around people of similar age or interests.
Has your sister talked with your mom about it? Your mom seems very active.
I know some homes are really well organized and have a lot of fun activities which the folks enjoy. Not everyones cup of tea but your mom might be interested

Today Iām grateful that I have a choice. Iām grateful that that choice has an impact on everyoneās life who I meet from the time I spend with people I love to the stranger in the street who gets a smile and door opened for them. Iām grateful Iām not afraid to live and days hold curiosityās instead of fear. Iām grateful I sleep with peace and wake with gratitude. Iām grateful I get to live instead of just being alive. Iām grateful I know what love and happiness feel like.
Iām grateful if I donāt pick up today I can feel like this tomorrow.

Iām grateful for a productive and fun weekend.
Iām grateful I could get into my daughterās bedroom while sheās away for a deep clean.
Iām grateful it took me nearly 5 hours (teenagers are gross! 
). It means she has a decluttered, neatly organised and clean room to come back to.
Iām grateful I am sober so I could do this and show her how much I love her.
Iām grateful I made another dog coat yesterday. I am enjoying sewing and making again.
Iām grateful I did have a dance around to music last night @Dazercat nobody needs to see that though 
Iām grateful my daughter rang me both nights from camp just to talk and say goodnight and she loves me. Iām grateful/hopeful things like this mean she doesnāt resent me too much for being flakey and not always doing the stuff I said I would in the past when I chose alcohol.
Iām grateful I choose her and my family over that poison every day now.
Iām grateful that even though I dyed my hair, got distracted, left it on too long and now itās waaaaay too dark (weāre talking black here, meant to be brown) I know that this too shallā¦fade, and am not getting stressed over it. At least I tried some self care.
Iām grateful to be sober.
Iām grateful you are all enjoying the joys of sober life too.
Have a wonderful Sunday soberistas.

Good morning friends,
Iām grateful for a relaxing weekend getaway. Iām grateful for playing yard games with my family barefoot in the grass. Iām grateful I didnāt feel like I needed anything but water to enjoy that time. Iām grateful for how much being in the mountains with pine trees rejuvenates me. Iām grateful that when I was getting all in a huff became nobody wanted to do what I wanted to do, I went to sit on a quiet swing under the trees and listen to a meditation on letting go of anger. And it worked! Iām grateful I got to have this view for a couple days.
