I’m grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful I baked tonight, I usually only cook. I’m trying to be grateful for my patience being tested because who knew it takes hours for brownies to cool and set, guess I won’t be eating any tonight and staying up to late from the sugar rush. I’m grateful my great grandspsonsor agreed to present me my medallion since my sponsor will still be in Florida when the time comes. I’m tearfully greatful to admit it feels right since he is the one who I called when I was in pshycosis a year ago to come help me not end up in even more trouble as the cops were here, ambulance, other active addicts, I was scared I was going to die, he truly helped save me that Sunday afternoon. He is still one of the first people I call when things are bad or good. I’m grateful somehow he now calls me to help with other suffering addicts, to facitiate step groups, cook for the mens breakfasts, asks me if I think new perspective tenants would be a good fit, its pretty cool. I’m grateful I met him back in 2007 when he was working at the local treatment center as an addiction counselor, but wasn’t mine Lol. I’m grateful for a good talk with my latest sponsee tonight who is struggling with anger. I’m grateful how it works and reminds me how much my anger has improved but requires these reminders to be mindful of it. I’m grateful my Aunt, Sister and I are going out for dinner tomorrow night before my Aunt moves numerous provinces away to Newfoundland at the end of the month. I’m grateful for music and its ability to change my mood. I’m grateful for prayer, meditation and the steps.
Awe I am sorry you weren’t able to take that nap but grateful you found comfort at the farm So important that we are now learning to listen to our bodies and put ourselves first.
Oh man do you have patience – i usually dig right in and have a mushy warm piece and then have a proper one the next day once it’s set and cooled I do hope you enjoy the brownie when you finally get to taste it.
So grateful that you will be presented with your medallion by your great sponsor - how amazing is that! Great to see how far you have come in this year Brian - should be super proud. Really looking forward to celebrating your big day with you
I am happy to see you back @Bluekoolaid.
I am grateful for a great opportunity at work yesterday.
I am grateful for my therapy and the laughs we share amidst the serious talks.
I am grateful for the annual plank challenge and I get to test my limits.
I am grateful every day sober is a day progress.
Grateful to see you @Bluekoolaid , I often wonder how you are. Glad you’re here.
Grateful today for trying to let things go. I can’t control everything, nor do I want to. People will behave how they want to and sometimes I won’t agree with their behaviour.
Grateful to understand this.
I’m grateful for basic manners, they make life much more pleasant. There’s no reason not to use them and they make such a difference.
I’m grateful my parents taught me good manners and that I taught my kids too
I am grateful that I am starting to appreciate my body and want to take care of it. I am grateful for family. I am grateful for morning snuggles from my beautiful dog. I am grateful for my move to FL, especially in January I am grateful for all of you! @Bluekoolaid, grateful you found your way back, it’s good to see you!
Today my son’s girlfriend is flying home after staying with us for three weeks. I am grateful for the time we spent together, she is a really lovely girl and we had alot of fun! I am grateful for their healthy relationship. But, I am also grateful for getting my house back and going back to the normal routine
I am grateful for being sober and not feeling the urge to drink. I was watching two movies yesterday and in both of them the protagonists were drinking to cope with their tough lives. I thought about The Queen’s Gambit, where the mother was drinking heavily. That serie was quite triggering when I watched it. Alcohol is so glorified and justified! The last couple of years I started to see drinking for what it really is and I am grateful that veil has been lifted. I am also grateful to be more aware of triggers, like drinking in movies.
I am grateful for being a more reliable colleague. Even when i had little sleep, nothing compares to having to work with a hangover!

@pandita I too am grateful for the Plank challenge – shocking myself in what I have been able to do after so long. @bomdhil Thank you so much Thomas – you are a dear! Grateful to see you on the threads and working towards your sobriety. Remember that we are all here for you cheering you on! @naomi So grateful that we no longer have to push ourselves to work through hangovers. What an amazing feeling. Great work on your 40 days of sobriety!
Friday gratefulness with my sober badasses…
I am so grateful that i asked for the additional cupping on my legs during yesterday’s treatment. I knew how much this would hurt but am grateful in knowing how helpful it will be in the long run.
I am so grateful that it was not the reason that i stayed up most of the night. I am grateful that i was able to get up and function with little sleep and am now wide awake.
I am so grateful that i got to see my mom this morning. Grateful that i pushed to get her appointments squared away as the scheduler still hadn’t called. Grateful that after 3 different calls i was able to get her surgery scheduled and get proper details for her recovery. I am so grateful that i will be able to take care of her as she recovers.
I am so grateful for my family - so many lovely messages from my cousins abroad just checking in and making sure we are all ok.
I am so grateful that the hives on my face and forearms are subsiding. I am so grateful that i am able to push through the pain and do some slow walking around the house. Grateful that i got 10500 steps in yesterday. This year my goal was 7500 ea day and i have managed to do so with 2 days missed. I am so grateful that i know that i am healing and i want to be ready to be active again so damn badly. Remembering to take it slow will be key. I tend to jump in head first at the first sign of feeling good.
I am so grateful for my lovely hot cup of coffee!
I am so grateful that i was able to bind my fingertips so that i did not cause any harm from the excessive itching. I can control it during the day but not so much when i am sleeping LOL
I am so grateful that i had a discussion with the nutritionist yesterday. Was told on Monday that i was not supposed to be eating soy. This shocked as it was not listed as a no on any of the paperwork or diet plans provided. I am grateful that i was able to clear this up (as with my restrictions and what my body can digest i do need protein). and she was impressed with how careful i am of my food source. I guess they say no to it as not all tofu products are prepared properly. Very fortunate to know our local producer and get to see them making organic tofu in his shop literally 2 minutes from my house. Grateful that i was able to promote his business.
I am so grateful for my mindfulness and practicing to create positive calming energy around me. Really is taking an effort (as everything worth having in life does) - looking forward to when it becomes second nature.
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer - grateful for my sense of being and grateful for a new day to continue my healing journey.
I am so grateful i have a few things needed to complete today and then it is all Jasmine time. I am actually kinda looking forward to the snow storm expected today. Hoping it comes after my parents and brother are home safely. Grateful they live in a community where they will shovel so we don’t have to. Grateful to have someone ready to shovel my home tomorrow for a very reasonable rate.
I am so grateful that i still have time to go and get some last minute groceries and do some banking.
I am so grateful it is Friday! Grateful that it is a peaceful day (really enjoying the quiet).
I am so grateful for the gratitude practice - grateful to see so much activity on our home thread. Grateful that i can call it “our” now. Grateful for all of you and our sober journeys.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love
So important that we are now learning to listen to our bodies and put ourselves first.
I do hope you enjoy the brownie when you finally get to taste it.
I am grateful for all of you!
