Thursday morning gratefulness 
Good morning to all you lovely sober souls. Grateful to be awake and alert this morning.
I am so grateful that i was able to get up in time and do a very quick visit with my mom this morning. Grateful that she called on the way to work to chat some more. Grateful that i was able to drop off stuff to her before she left for the day.
I am so grateful for a lovely greyish foggy day in the 40ās ā wow - it feels like spring! I am grateful that i will try to go for a walk today if everything works out.
I am so grateful that i have my last treatment appointment tonight and then on Monday i will meet with the doctor and see if anything has changed. I do know that my inflammation has not decreased and i had a backslide moment last week.
I am so grateful that for great friends. Grateful that we can be there for each other remotely and simple morning messages make all the difference
I am so grateful for laughter. Grateful that it is the foundation for positivity in my soul. Grateful that with positivity i can tackle and manage anything i am going through.
I am so grateful for starting each day with a to do list - giving me something to get accomplished for the day. Trying to get routine back into my life.
I am so grateful for positive affirmations. Grateful for how amazing the mind can be. Grateful that we are in control of our emotions. Grateful that sometimes we lose that control and that is ok. Just have to remember that This Too Shall Pass.
I am so grateful for family and friends. Grateful that my family has been my main in real life social network and i am so grateful that we get along.
I am so grateful for having enough. Really have been missing @anon74766472 posts - hope you are well.
I am so grateful for morning coffee (yeah it really is hitting all the right places this morning) - for the morning memes with my buddy. Grateful for the laughter!!! yeah - so many ways to tickle that funny bone 
I am so grateful for TS community and all the amazing posts that have helped me out through the rough moments.
Wishing you all so much peace and happiness - may your souls be filled with laughter today!
Sending you all so much love

Thank you for reminding me to come here @JazzyS
I am grateful to wake up sober each morning now. I cannot imagine how I did it in the past. I have no f*** idea.
I am grateful I have people around me how have the ability to calm my thoughts and take away some panic.
I am grateful the days are getting longer.
I am grateful I have enough food in my fridge and was reminded to think about so many food choices I made in the past years. I am grateful itās not some new years resolution.
I am grateful I went to my crawling course so far and that my colleagues are so patient to endure my complaints each Monday before I have to go. To find myself enjoying it each time. 
I am grateful itās the weekend soon.
I am grateful I donāt have to go anywhere using the trains in the near future.
I am grateful I have enough.

I am very grateful I did not get sucked into a dark place by my thoughts after waking up, but instead read and posted on TS. This place is such a safe heaven.
I got up and did movement practice and meditation. I am grateful for this structure in my life.
I am grateful my work is mentally taxing and intrusive thoughts donāt get a say when Iām coding or solving a problem.
As I felt so overwhelmend in my body and with my emotions I tried to flee into my work. This never turns out well, but gives the false hope of escape. In the past I would have tried anything and everything under the moon to not experience these emotions. With recovery I learned a different way. I turned to breathing, meditation, staying in the moment. I am very grateful for this new skill.
I am grateful for feeling better now, for a good walk, for the beauty of nature. I am grateful for yoga, my family.
I am grateful I got through this day with compassion towards myself.

Iām grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions. Iām grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful for the ability to let go. I always want to catch up on this lovely home thread before I post but itās already been four days since I posted my own gratitude and I need to remind myself how important the process is of posting my own. Iām grateful I can go back and read a little at a time and do my best to catch up. Iām grateful to attend 12 step meetings pretty much everyday as well as attending Church and read daily recovery literature and devotionals. Iām grateful for the phone call I had tonight with my friend for the first time in a couple months, we send texts a few times a week. Iām grateful to hear she is coming up on a month clean and that despite our broken marriage engagement 20+ years ago she has become a wonderful long distant support over the last 4 years and that she values my support as well. Iām grateful I can admit it is hard to know how to support some of her struggles with her teenage children because I am not a parent and theres a bit of guilt, shame and a shading of jealousy and regret that they arenāt mine and her kids because we talked about having a family one day all those years ago. Iām grateful that I can and do accept that was not my higher powers chosen path for me however it still doesnāt necessarily make it easy. Iām grateful for prayer and meditation. Iām grateful for my job and that I have been working hard and have been attempting to challenge myself to keep learning more. Iām grateful for sports to play and enjoy watching even when my teams lose. Iām grateful that my body allows me to still do some of these things when I keep track of all the self care type of stuff. Iām grateful my Sister let me know our parents made it safely from Ontario to Florida for their annual holiday. Iām grateful the cat is calming down a little bit as he seemed cranky yet hyper the last couple days. Iām grateful today was payday and tomorrow is Friday so the work week is almost done. Iām grateful for the fresh pillow case I can grab since this ones covered in fur. Iām grateful for the sunshine today since its been a bit cold and dreary. Iām grateful for lots of food in the fridge and cupboards. Iām grateful for my ever growing music playlists. Iām grateful for humor and laughter. Iām grateful I reached out to my sponsor and to have gently reminded my sponsees that I am still here to help if they want it.
May our higher powers give us opportunities to have fun.
p.s. You are amazing. Ya you!!

It is always good to see her. I am grateful for my doting and loving husband. I am grateful for my 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am grateful for my sobriety!

I am grateful I got to post here daily since mid December. Iām grateful to get to know you guys better and itās great to read everybodyās reasons for gratitude.
I have been on TS on and off the last couple of years, but daily interaction and connection with you guys makes such a big difference. I donāt feel alone in sobriety, thank you
I am grateful for a good AF day/evening with work yesterday. I was tired but stayed pretty late with a few collegues.
Grateful to have a new young collegue in our team (around the same age as my son). I love talking to young people. I love to hear how they see life, where they are and what their life plans are. What music they like, how they are with friends etc etc. The conversations are different in comparison to those I have with peers. I feel such a warmth in my heart when I see young people doing well!
I am grateful I got some good sleep. I am looking forward to see my family today. I am grateful to be so positive (even during hard or sad times) and I am so grateful for this tread, it reminds me every morning how beautiful life is. It is truly life changing

Iām grateful for good friends.
Upon news of Miss Kittyās departure, one of my three best friends (who lives across the country now) Door Dashed something to me. I decided to not check on what it was and let myself be surprised, though I assumed it was going to be a treat of some sort, and I thought it was a sweet gesture. When it arrived, I opened the door to flowers, a balloon, chocolates, and a steak/shrimp dinner from a local Japanese restaurant. Girl waht?? 
Another of the three has called, and also come by to spend time with me despite her schedule being quite full right now. She has also offered to take some cat items to the shelter for me so that I donāt have to do it myself if it would be easier for me. The other friend (who now lives a few states over) has been in constant contact with little texts and words of encouragement despite the fact that she is personally on the fast track toward the beyond.
I feel very grateful that I have these three wonderful friends who have collectively showered me with the five ālove languagesā of ātime, words of affection, acts of service, touch (hugs), and giftsā during this difficult time. I have never in my life received the amount of love and support as I have over the last few daysāfrom people I know offline and the people I know onlineāand I am touched and grateful to a depth that I canāt properly express

@Chiron that was so lovely to read! Iām grateful that you got all of that support!
I am grateful for a late Christmas present that came from my Aunt and Uncle last nightā¦the very softest and warmest of blankets. I cocooned in it last night and am finding it hard to extract myself from it this morning! I am grateful that I went to a large gathering of friends for a birthday party last night and drank water, and no one batted an eye. I was able to overcome my social anxiety enough to truly enjoy myself without the crutch of alcohol. To truly enjoy my friends with a clear head, for that I am grateful indeed. ODAAT

A lovely Friday morning gratitudeā¦
so much to be grateful forā¦
I am so grateful for a lovely Friday morning. Grateful for being awake - for breathing without trouble, for not waking up in craving mode or hangover mode. Grateful for waking up with a zest for life.
I am so grateful that i have decided to take a break from my Chinese treatment. I will have my final assessment on Monday and then will hit pause till after the surgery.
I am so grateful that my mom called radiology to and found out that the referrals were never sent. Come to find out that her surgery needs to be changed and they just never called to discuss or reset the date. I am trying not to get frustrated by these things. Grateful for taking a deep breath and making sure to follow up with all the appointments personally so nothing else slips through the cracks.
I am so grateful i received my allergy friendly additive free hair dye - i chose green ā ooh, looking forward to trying it out. I am not sure if i want to do a streak or just the tips or ā¦ who knows LOL
I am so grateful that i was able to have energy to get the house cleaned yesterday.
I am so grateful that my mom had me stop by after my treatment yesterday - she made me a delicious dinner. She is so awesome!
I am so grateful that i am planning to have some quality mom time with me today.
I am so grateful for my family, friends, my HP, my meditation and prayer practices, my ability to get my daily steps in. Grateful that for now my inflammation has no decreased but so happy that it has not increased.
I am so grateful for my coffee 
I am so grateful for this beautiful community! Grateful for the support and love we provide for each other on this life long path of sobriety.
Wishing you all so much love
