This morning I am grateful for a
check in with an old friend
a plan how to move forward
the one coworker who always brings healthy snacks for all of us
the smell of freshly washed laundry
giggles of children
my mostly healthy body
more light during the day
Music
I am grateful for a clear mind. Due to a thread here on TS about finances, I got to think about my own. I am grateful I get to save more money by not smoking, drinking and ordering Uber Eats.
I am contemplating about either working more hours, find another (better paying) job OR get back to swing trading. I am grateful to have more energy but I notice Iām on my phone alot, so I need to do somethingā¦ Iām grateful sobriety opens up possibilities and because of a clear mind I feel like Iām better at decision making.
Drinking was my second job, I am grateful I quit.
Especially on days when I have appointments I am grateful to my past/yesterday sober self for not drinking. Today is office/team day and although I prefer working at home I donāt mind it that much in comparison to when Iād still drink.
I am grateful for better skin. I notice my skin and eyes arenāt as dry anymore! Yesterday I got a compliment I looked good. I do feel good! 
I love reading your posts. I am grateful for being part of this community 
Grateful for 34 days
Grateful for 7 hours sleep
Grateful that the kittens will see their uncle on Thursday after the vets, socialisation is still a need
Grateful one of my bestest friends messaged to sat that she and hubby are in London in February and can they visit. Yes, I need it.
Grateful I know I need to reach out more, at some point I became antisocial and feral.
Grateful for the fox that sat in the garden area for about twenty minutes yesterday, observing life. Beautiful creature

Good afternoon my sober peeps.
Today im grateful our vet could see Suki, our senior cat, she has pancreatitis, kidney disease and now her feline dementia has progressed! Grateful I could take her to the vets, so grateful sheās been given some medicine so she wonāt be so distressed at night. Super grateful Iām able to make her more comfortable by making life easier for her. Grateful sheās sleeping right now and that sheās eaten something!
Grateful for another 24hrs sober, grateful for all of you. Grateful for pausing and reflecting. 
Iām grateful I know where Costa Rica is again 
thanks Google thanks CJ. Iām grateful Iām so excited for you.
Iām grateful Iām enjoy TF reaching out more around here. Iām grateful sheās such a pleasure. Grateful for the fox I saw in the Embankment Gardens last spring. And grateful for Blue and Bear.
Iām grateful for my clear mind and that I quit my first full time job of drinking after retirement.
Iām grateful Iām still not sure what to do in life but wasting it drinking wonāt be it. Iām grateful I get to surround myself with all kinds of people in all kinds of recovery.
Iām grateful I finally chatted to a lady yesterday, her name is Susan. Weāve been doing pleasantries for about a year. Iām grateful I told her it was always easy to remember her name as I had a sister named Susan who sadly passed away a awhile back because of MS. Iām grateful she shared she had a brother that died of MS.
Iām grateful I got to console a woman who lost her 16 year old dog last week.
Iām grateful for the smell of my wifeās clean laundry. Iām grateful Iām still not allowed to touch the laundry. Iām grateful Iām still not 
sure which side the washer is actually on. I think the dryer is on the right 
and Iām grateful for music and giggle laughing grand babies.
Iām grateful for my day today. I get to see my doc and go over blood work. Iām grateful for my clear head about it all and I havenāt googled anything about some of the results like I obsessed over last year. And I donāt remember this year. Iām grateful I try as I might, but; when Iām asked whatās my cholesterol numbers I just canāt remember. Iām grateful thatās just who I am.
Iām grateful to see Lam back and that gentle giant of a beast. I hope thatās a big bed.
Iām grateful Pinky is here and Iām grateful Iām defrosting a lot of freezer dinners this week and I donāt have to meal plan for a week or 2.
Well, I still have to meal plan but Iām grateful thereās no prep.
Iām grateful for Sassy, Lisa and Stella and M. and Brian who have been with me since day 1. Well in my mind, as far as Iām concerned, since the very beginning of my sober, calm, hangover, rollercoaster of my life. Iām just going to call it day 1. Iām grateful itās my story and Iām sticking to it!
Iām grateful to see Squid here. I thought it might be your first time on this thread. Iām grateful that Holy Squid avatar always catches my eye. Grateful for your 330 ODAATs. Iām grateful you must have a shit load of gratitude to share her and brighten up my day.
And Iām grateful for my coffee meme buddy every morning 
Iām grateful for every one of us on this grateful thread and grateful sober life we get to live.
āYour best days are ahead of you. The movie starts when the guy gets sober and puts his life back together; it doesnāt end there.ā
Bucky Sinister
Iām grateful I just got to think who the hell is Bucky Sinister what a GREAT last name!!
I am grateful to have a spouse who is willing to work through this tough time with me. He stopped drinking years ago because he hated to see what it was doing to me, and he gave up his DOC, marijuana, several months ago to assist me in my sober journey. I was watching a TV show last night and someone ordered my exact drink of choice, down to the 2 lemons. Iām grateful that the urge to sneak one in subsided. Because itās never just one. Iām so grateful that I made the right choice for once. ODAAT
Hump day gratitudeās ā i am feeling so full of love
I am so grateful for starting this beautiful day with breath in my lungs and a pep in my step. Still no solid sleep but i feel like i got what i needed.
I am so grateful for a calm winter day. Last day of January. For past few years it feels like time has been flying by and for some reason this January felt like it lingered forever. not that iām complaining - really donāt need to push time faster than it is already going.
I am so grateful that i got a call from my surgeon and she can squeeze me in on Monday to have discussion of what type of surgery i should get and how to proceed. I realize that changing things up may delay the surgery. May be better to go under once than have to do this again down the road.
I am so grateful that i was able to talk it through with a friend whoās undergone the surgery and get some great advice and support. Also some homework - going to check out the other surgeons in my area and possibility of robotic surgery.
I am so grateful that my mom is feeling good from the Chinese treatments and will continue them until her surgery. Grateful for the beautiful voicemail message from my aunt in Iran letting her know that everything would be ok. My mom did not want anyone to know what was going on and somehow her sis found out - so grateful that she did. No need to keep your health a secret from your family and loved ones.
I am so grateful that i was able to get a refund for my hair dye ā after spending 45 min waiting for a wonderful green streak ā i got nada. i understand if my dark hair was an issue but the reviews and the notes on site said that it wouldnāt be. plus i had plenty of greyās that could have shown color. I had told my mom i was going to do it yesterday and she was staring at me in the car with a perplexed look and finally said - i donāt see it - where is the green? 
i said aaaahhh now that is the question of the day.
I am so grateful for my mom and her crazy sense of humor. Grateful that she is learning sarcasm - still throws me off a times.
I am so grateful for morning gratitudeās, coffee, coffee memes, my meme buddy!
I am so grateful for a light heart today, a peaceful mind and of course that pep in my step 
Not going to let the clusterfuck of symptoms get me down!
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful that i still have faith in Him and love for Him. Grateful that i know that this too shall pass. Grateful that i know it could be a whole lot worse. Grateful to be on the side of healing. Grateful for no longer being bound to addictions. I am the ruler of my ownself!
All right all you beautiful grateful souls ā wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you ALL so much love
Safe travels and enjoy your holiday! I hope youāll share some pictures with us 
I am grateful to have more than I need. I am grateful to have enough to share, lend, and give away.
Its wet here, wet and cold; it gets into your bones. I am grateful that I am not trying to protect myself and my child from the elements day and night. We have a warm, dry, safe home, I wish everyone did.
I get to pick up the key to our new meeting tomorrow. I am grateful to feel excitedā¦ I remember when I was new in recovery and my first sponsor promised me I would feel excitement again. I hadnt felt it in yearsā¦ probably 20 years. Lets be honest, I hadnt felt many good feelings in 20 years, not much could get past the fear that was masked as rage, anger, depression, and anxiety; the obsession and compulsion, intrusive thoughts and debilitating self loathing. Its no wonder I couldnt feel excited. 
I am grateful that today I wake up with a clear head and an open heart, ready to face to world.
I love my life today, I am very grateful for it.
Is it normal for the grateful thread to bring you to tears? The happy kind. The kind that gives you so much hope.
Iām grateful for finding this place.
Iām grateful Iām not the only one to have this thread bring me to tears. Especially early on when I was feeling those early raw feelings. I was just so dang grateful each morning to be surviving. And realizing how much of an asshole I had been all those years. And grateful to know that guy doesnāt exist anymore. Iām grateful I donāt know that guy anymore and Iām grateful Iām never going back to him.
Totally natural Tiff.
Iām grateful youāre here.
There he is!! Missed you on the gratitude thread sober buddy
Good morning gratifiends. I am grateful for the new month and the new adventures, challenges and joys it will bring. Grateful for coffee and my morning stretches. Grateful for variety in people things and places. Grateful for universal kindness and connection laughter creates. (thinking of you, Brian). Have a fantastic vacation in Costa Rica @Cjp. Would be lovely to see some pics, if you like.
Grateful I missed my gratitude last night because I had an early night. I went to sleep at 8.40pm. Iām so grateful this morning. Iāve had a week of early nights. I needed them, I think I overdid things last week and over the weekend. Iām grateful for running and walking and hiking and stacking our free wood but I think I need to find a balance and not go all guns blazing, Iām no spring chicken.
Iām grateful for snowdrops showing their heads and the first daffodils and primroses and I saw a lonely crocus yesterday, I love spring flowers, they bring hope.
There was something else Iām grateful for but Iāve forgotten what it wasā¦ I may be editing later.
Grateful to be here 
Gratefull for not having much of migrain since menopause.
For my cat snoring right now 
For my aunt who is always willing to listen to me when I want to vent something.
For rediscoverering meditation and doing it every day since.
For my sober stretch of days, the work I put in it and the growth since 
I am grateful for you, the good people on this gratitude thread. I definately get emotional here too, in a good way. Beautiful quote there, Bill. So true!
I am grateful for morning gratitudes. I love to start the day with being thankful and reading all of your gratitudes. It fills me with this warm feeling I can hardly describe.
I had always a quite cynical view on life, but I notice I got so much softer these days. I wrote it before, but this time it feels so different. It exceeds getting sober. Itās healing, connecting, slowing down, turning inside and feeling feelings. I donāt know, itās weird but beautiful.
I am grateful for last nights good sleep. Doesnāt happen too often, so I really notice it. Grateful I managed to run all my errands today and do the big shop with ease.
Grateful that I feel my sore muscles in a good way. I did three gym classes yesterday, two of them I hadnāt done since lockdown and the instructors and regulars welcomed me back with open arms. Made me a little emotional. After one of the classes the instructor came over and said how nice it is to have me back and that I was really missed. I opened up and explained that after lockdown I was in active addiction, so thatās why I didnāt come to the class anymore. My openness was met with understanding and empathy. I am so grateful for that, I do feel blessed. I am grateful I already managed to secure a spot for next weeks class.
I am grateful to have a couple hours now for some me-time. Grateful for yummy herbal tea, cozy blanket, quit-lit audiobook and my TS family. So I can use these few hours to put some work into my recovery.
ODAAT

āWe have all had to learn painful lessons. We are all recovering from some mistake, loss, betrayal, abuse, injustice or misfortune. All of life is a process of recovery that never ends. We each must find ways to accept and move through the pain and to pick ourselves back up. Be patient with yourself.ā
