AFAF ODAAT
Grateful for electric.
Grateful for heat.
Grateful for hot water.
All of which I did not have today. One day without and I was ready to check into a hotel.
Grateful for my ladies AA meeting tonight. I have only been to 1 meeting in 3 weeks. That’s unheard of for me. I’m grateful I noticed I was getting complacent in my sobriety after being down with covid followed by being snowed in. Last night I had my coat on ready to go with hubby to a meeting and I decided I was too tired. Took my coat off and passed out on the couch.
Grateful I didn’t get crushed by a falling tree today. I was driving to work in the dark very early this morning and I see this humongous tree in the corner of my eye coming down in slow motion. I floored the gas pedal and it fell behind me closing the entire road. Phew!
Grateful to be going away this week to some warmer weather.
Grateful for each of you helping to keep me sober today
good lord girl-- grateful that you are ok. Grateful you have the necessities back (especially on these cold winter days).
Enjoy that warmer weather upcoming get away!
Oh I forgot one more precious gratitude.
I’m grateful it’s my doggo’s 13th birthday today.
Happy Birthday Bull (nickname)!
Wow girl!! I am grateful you are okay!!
I hope your warm getaway is fabulous!!!
Happy 13th birthday Bull!!

@LAB My condolences to your and your family
@Lisa07 Fantastic reaction to escape the falling tree. I’m grateful you are save.
Sending healing vibes to all who are ill. I’m still tired and easily exhausted. A weekend of rest is much apprechiated.
I’m grateful I still can make steak to the point. I’m grateful for the nice dinner & evening with an old friend on friday. I’m grateful I naped before. I’m grateful the hairdresser introduced me to a product to ease my very dry skin of the head. I didn’t wash my hair yesterday as recommended and the skin feels better and less itchy. But I need to wash my hair urgently (feeling iiihhhh) and I’m happily looking forward to a hot early sunday morning shower.
I’m grateful heating the farmhouse went well. I’m grateful I went there and stopped the ex from taking and throwing away my stuff. Again. God I pray this circus is over soon. I can’t see this man anymore, he only causes trouble and upsets me. I pray the trial appointment next friday sets an end
I’m grateful for automatic central heating at my townhouse, how comfortable on these cold days. And every other day.
I’m grateful for cats on and around me, I’m embedded in a cloud of purring and warmth. I love them to pieces. They are the sunshine of my life.
I’m gratefully looking forward to a sunday without obligations. Doing some chores and cleaning, happy to have yummi groceries in the fridge. I’m grateful for modern amenities, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, central heating, smartphone, internet, electricity, hot water, cat food for special diets, comfy houses, reliable cars, work from home and so much more.
I’m grateful I can go back to bed after feeding the cats. They purr downstairs
I’m grateful for friends.
I’m grateful for my life.
I’m grateful today is a fresh, new day. I’m grateful every day is a fresh new day.
I’m grateful I have faith that the universe always delivers things at the right time, I have to be patient and do my share of work.
I’m grateful I’ve been writing this post over 3 days. I’m grateful it’s ok to fall asleep over gratitude ODAAT
It’s “breaking records” cold here the last few days, and will be into next week. With windchill, -42C to -53C overnight (I think that’s below -60F). But right now it’s about -37C (-35F). Practically balmy.
I’m grateful for my small, warm home. There could be some power outages tonight. I had a wee bit of anxiety, (which tended to be dealt with in the before times, oh, you-know-how…). I’m grateful I have everything I need. I thought to get a big load of groceries yesterday and stuff is cooked up already. I’m grateful I wasn’t freaking out about whether I have enough wine at home to last me through whatever comes next.
I’m grateful I care about others. The unhoused. The isolated.
I’m grateful for the day I had. Hunkered in at my desk on creative projects, mini walks with the dog girl, warm mug of coffee then tea.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful to meet @Bluekoolaid’s Mom! Methinks she’s pretty proud of her son.
The dog girl is pissed off at me too, @Curtis-81 - but I’m grateful they’ll get over it!
Hugs @Lisa07 ! I hope life gets more even-keeled for you, soon! Grateful you are safe.
I’m grateful for another day.
Happy Birthday Bull!
The dog girl (who’s coming up on 13 yrs this spring) asked me to send you good wishes, lots of pets, treats galore, doting humans, a lack of rules, and an abundance of walks full of interesting things to smell!
We’re grateful for all the grati-pets!
I am grateful for the roof over my head and the warmth from the central heating. I am grateful I have light and running water, pretty things in my house that reflect who I am. I am grateful the fridge is filled and so are the cupboards in the kitchen. It makes me feel at home and so does the comfort of music from the radio. I am grateful there is lots of room for simple beauty these days.
I am grateful I get to think about what I want to do this month and the next and the month after. It is already so much more than trying to meet the very essentials.
I am grateful I am still finding helpful new thoughts and perspectives in the threads of this community. As long as that happens, I know I am not becoming complacent.
I am grateful it’s weekend and grateful you all find so much fun-to-read gratitude each day as well.
My condolences. It sounds like you and your husband did beautifully in being there for your mother in law and being there for each other. I do tend to think that the most important thing in any situation of disstress is to not feel alone. Crazy, when you think about how drinking through sadness and grief has quite the opposite effect… I am glad you are going through this together.
Grateful for the time I had yesterday with my parents.
Grateful to be able to just relax this Sunday.
Grateful to see people coming back after a relapse and the never ending support here.
Grateful for the loving looks of doggo.
Grateful for being sober. Not feeling too good today (yesterday was emotional), but I am grateful to go through it sober and not having the urge to drink. Grateful for my son’s support.
I’m so so grateful I found Alice. I’m so grateful I could hear her chirp once and awhile but she never came out for me. I’m grateful after I tore the house apart for an hour I remembered I went in the coat closet early this morning for my fingerless gloves. I’m grateful she let out an excited scream to see me. I’m grateful she’s forgiven me and is on my lap purring.
I’m grateful when I see cats in different unfamiliar spots. I’m grateful I saw Mavy sacked out in a heated bed in the guest room where I’ve never seen him. Oh he looked so good all stretched out.
I’m grateful Daisy is such a large floofy cat with lots to pet and hold and to love on to.
I’m grateful we can make vet appointments on line after hours. Benson B
I’m grateful Mavy loves his Amazon box with the paper packaging in it.
I’m grateful I’m starting to feel better. I’m grateful I don’t have strep or Covid. I’m grateful I’m enjoying the hell out of my lemon turmeric ginger hot tea.
I’m grateful I found my baby.
I’m grateful I found 3 houses to look at in Cali when we are there next week. Well 4, but one went under contract. I’m grateful we didn’t like that house anyway I’m grateful we are now considering 2 story houses, it opens up so many more possibilities. I’m grateful I get to move again this year. Fuck Me!!
I’m grateful if I’m not feeling well enough tonight I can drop the books and pamphlets off at the meeting and go home. I’m grateful I don’t have to “Power Through It.” I’m grateful I am learning I don’t have to power through anything anymore. I’m grateful I can Step 3 it instead.
I’m grateful for both my recoveries and all of yours and I get to share here with you all
I’m grateful for my ODAAT In Al-Anon reading today.
February 5
Let me learn to understand myself first; that will occupy me so fully that I will have no time nor thought to analyze and criticize the compulsive drinker.”
I’m grateful for “indexing.”
Side note. I always. Always. Read my daily readers ODAAT on the day it is. I’m grateful I can use the index and search a feeling, or in this case Step 4, and read what it’s got to say about that. I’m grateful there’s lots of step 4 readings in the index.
Good morning M you alive?
How bout a cuppa to thaw out.
I’m grateful when we first met you were so kind to offer me and my RV a spot on your property if we needed to leave our beautiful country
After further consideration I respectfully decline but thanks for your generous offer. However I am gratefully happy to offer you our little guest casita with its own private entrance for you and the dog girl if you need to defrost. I’m grateful if you get here by Thursday it will be in the 70’s.
I am grateful for lazy Sundays and 3 day weekends. I am grateful for dry shampoo on cold cold days. I am grateful that my husband is doing the grocery shopping this morning.
Gooood morning Ya’ll …
Hope everyone in the winter freezing wonderland is staying safe and cozy…it’s crazy cold! Brrrr
I am SO Grateful for my warm house with all it’s amenities! We have not experienced a power outage as of yet
I am very Grateful for my 3 warm cat bodies that snuggle and keep me warm at night
I am Gratefulu husband brings home the bacon to keep the furnace running and keep our fridge stocked
I am Grateful for long distance phone calls with friends to catch up, to giggle and to plan future visits
I am Grateful for the tea and cheese (?) husband just brought to me in bed while I do my Gratitude’s. First time I’ve ever been served in bed. He’s either plotting something or maybe has had a stroke, will check later … I’m enjoying this too much
I am Grateful for all every single one of you out there sending Birthday wishes positive vibes, positive advice and just in general caring about me and my sobriety. Unbelievable how good I feel with ya’ll in my corner
I am Grateful for my sobriety and the weight it has taken off my shoulders, the shame is softening and the light is coming back. Yes it is a journey … you are there with me every step of the way
Stay sober my friends … and warm
I’m grateful for all Eric’s pet stories. I really enjoy them. I’m grateful Alice let you know loud and clear she was stuck. I’m grateful our pets don’t hold grudges (for too long). I once locked our dog in the basement by accident, heard him howling and crying but couldn’t find him for about a half hour. Then it dawned on me that he probably followed me down to get laundry but was too slow following me back up. Oops!
I’m grateful you are feeling a lil better. I’m grateful you’ll listen to your body if it needs rest and no longer power through.
I’m grateful you have a few houses to view when you visit Gus. Maybe one of them will be the “right one” and this will be your last move. #fuckmoving

Evening gratitude.
I’m grateful I left the house only for 2 trips to the trash cans. I’m grateful me & cats enjoyed the cold air coming into the house.
I’m again happy with my cooking. Leftovers at least for tomorrow and 1 portion to freeze.
I’m grateful I read so much around here on TS today that I’m out of hearts.
I’m grateful for a decent nap and for interesting documentaries.
I’m gratefulI I finished knitting my oversized winter shawl today. Impatiently waiting for new wool to arrive for a big summer shawl I ordered 10 days ago. I’m grateful I rediscovered knitting, so calming and meditative.
I’m grateful I have no appointments tomorrow. I always try to keep the mondays off. It helps me to start the week without stress and focus on the important tasks.
I’m grateful the cold weather will stay for this week.
I’m grateful for cats sleeping on me. It makes me sad that I feel lonely, abandoned and long for love. I have to let go of the good memories too when I want peace in my heart. And peace from my codependency. I sound like a broken record.
I’m grateful I’ll be in bed soon and the sleeping meds will hopefully provide a restful sleep. ODAAT
