@mischa84 So grateful to hear that Dennis is feeling better. I wouldn’t have been so easy going if I had brought home NA beer by accident when I was drinking. That is a good sign that he can see how drinking and using affects him and he is better off without it. @Pandita Oh love I’m so sorry that you have been in such a depressive state. Don’t ever apologize - this thread is for our healing so if you need to do a gratitude dump and then that’s what is needed till you feel better. I do hope you had a lovely day thus far. @erntedank Grateful for the glasses and no more headaches. WOW- I wonder what got into your ex. Glad he helped out and grateful that you did not have to interact while he was at the Farm. @Dilettante Way to go Kiki - 60 days in the bag. I am so sorry for your POTS episode - grateful that you are feeling better today and enjoyed that smoothie
I love this so much Julia – Hope your Saturday is going amazingly well.
Shouting out some gratitude here…
For TS always.
For this thread, hey I think I’m beginning to look at the differently now. Guess expressing gratitude daily really does help shift one’s mindset.
For the urad dal Indian supper we had last night, with turmeric potatoes and bell peppers. Divine.
For getting a good night’s sleep last night.
For the hot shower I’m going to have after I finish this post.
For the yogurt and mango breakfast we’ll have with decaf coffee after that. Look it! Now I’m posting preemptive gratitudes !!
HELL yeah you are – way to go my friend. So much gratitude to be had. You are crushing it and btw – that meal sounds heavenly and my mouth is watering – glad you enjoyed
A very happy Saturday morning to all you beautiful sober souls! Grateful to have each and everyone of you on this lovely journey with me. Grateful for all the love and support i’ve felt and keep feeling here among all my friends.
I am so grateful that i did sleep in this morning (woke up at 8 and even that was a struggle) – did get up and with the help of a cool breeze and a hot coffee I am awake and facing this beautiful day
I am so grateful that my brother gave my parents the day off. Grateful that he pushed them to go to a neighboring beach town (its a 2 hour drive). Grateful that they left early and arrived in time for 9 am breakfast and are already having a marvelous time. So excited for the day they will be having today.
I am so grateful that i do have a lot of tiny things to get done – with one thing at a time I will be able to tackle them all.
I am so grateful that I can feel a change coming – a good change i hope. Grateful to be being sober and appreciating this change fully.
I am so grateful that I have my ultra sound on Tuesday and my colonoscopy / egd on Friday. Hoping to get some insight.
I am so grateful for my Gluten Free bread that i have found. I bought the four loafs and froze most of them. It is so heavenly - very hearty and dense. I am enjoying it so very much. need to thaw out more bread.
I am so grateful for the drop in temperature today.
I am so grateful for doing multiple meditation / prayer sessions last night (every time i would wake up instead of turning on the tv or looking at the phone)
I am so grateful for today! Grateful for the comforts of living and being able to work on my health.
I am so grateful that my aunt is doing better and she was able to help me with a major ask this morning. Grateful that she was able to give me her log in information and gave me permission to submit the paperwork for her as her internet is temporarily down.
I am so grateful for loving and supportive family.
I am so grateful to just be grateful. To be able to practice daily gratitude!
Hoping you all have a fantastic addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
Dear @JazzyS you are so wunderfully optmistic
Nope, the ex did nothing like helping out. He comes and goes here as he likes, no word or notice, doing whatever he does without coordinating anything with me. So I get to know by chance and by comparing the pictures on my phone what he did. Sometimes it is obvious like putting away the boxes. Or when I realize he fumbled a new part of this never ending dry stone wall he started 1 3/4 years ago Why? Don’t ask me why he comes here with his e-bike (still no driving license since 1,5 years) and still fumbles around allthough he moved out back to town and told me he is done with the farm
This behaviour is so tiring and bullshit that I really look forward to have him off the farm for good. Him and his non-working oldtimer graveyard. He has a talent to park those cars where they are the most in my way and never move them again
Good morning friends,
I’m grateful it’s a beautiful Saturday morning. I’m grateful I got out in the sunshine for some exercise. I’m trying to be grateful that it seems like EVERYONE is out getting some sun and cooler weather too:grimacing:. I’m grateful I don’t have much to do today, and more grateful that free time doesn’t scare me anymore- I know I won’t waste it drinking. I’m grateful for my gratitude journal. I’m grateful I still read on here everyday because there’s no replacement for you guys. Everyone have a wonderful day
It’s already been said, but I’m grateful for all of your gratitudes
For superhero pj’s and smiles! for NA beer oopses Yep, for sober spouses and houses sold. For first grey hairs! For milestones galore, no matter the day count.
Not so much for tiresome exes, depressing days, colonoscopies (boo!), and the like - but I am so grateful you share about them. A shared load is lighter.
I’m grateful for the weekend. I’m grateful for the quiet fall days. Getting shorter already here. Earlier to bed.
I’m grateful for sunny afternoon walks.
I’m grateful for understanding, compassionate pals. Grateful for my Sangha too.
I’m grateful for my therapy session this week.
I’m grateful for my work. I’m also grateful for the support to be treating my relationship to work as a process addiction. I won’t lie - it’s tough! And kinda messy. But already helping.
I’m so grateful for the good dog girl. Some pre-emptive gratitude for the post-walk nap we will likely have later
I’m grateful to see @Hidden! Always welcome around here, friend.
YIKES - ok, this is not helpful in the least. (i misread the situation and yeah try to be optimistic but in this case not sure what to make of his behavior).
Sorry. love. I too look forward to the day he leaves the Farm for good. Just grateful you did not have to see that face (LOL)
Yeah - this would truly annoy me to bits. You are handling it well.
I’m grateful I got 16 months of Al-Anon meetings under my belt.
I’m grateful my wife isn’t drinking today.
I’m grateful I got 1360 FAFAF Days
I’m grateful I got 4 months and 10 days of no extra added sugar.
I’m grateful I almost got 2 weeks of no zero sugar snacks after dinner either.
I’m grateful I get to walk Benson around 7 now.
I’m grateful for the tiny bit of rain we got 25 drops maybe
I’m grateful for my cats. I’m grateful each one has such a different personality.
I’m grateful for my Fancy Mouse Espresso Blend coffee.
I’m grateful for my green turmeric tea after my coffee.
I’m grateful for my meditation practice.
I’m grateful I found some of Prashanti Paz’s music on iTunes.
I’m grateful I could pause to give Alice a full tank.
I’m grateful my little headache is not from drinking.
I’m grateful for such a smooth easy closing.
Grateful for you

Greatful to follow @Dazercat and many many others in gratitude. Lots of action on this thread.
Im Greatful for…
My sobriety. No booze. No weed. No vapes.
Healthy meals
Our safety
Therapy
Reminders that its not weakness to take a step back
Yesterday was a good day
Great workout this morning
The ability to buy what groceries we need for healthy meals
Chillax time
My home group
My moms healthy
Variety yet routine
Today I am so grateful to wake up and see everyone’s posts and the kind words and replies I received on my 60 days. I am also grateful that an old friend messaged me last night and shared with me that they took are sober now and gave me a lot of really good insight and advice. It motivated me to keep going and helped get me out of the slump I was in.
Some afternoon gratitude because it was my early work day and I didn’t have time this morning.
I am grateful work was not crazy busy like it has been.
I am grateful I have a good weekend team
I am grateful I slept well last night.
I am grateful to be spending time with the hubs.
I am grateful that we are back in a good space. Not sure how long it will last but I will take it.
I am grateful to be laying with my doggos.
I am grateful that I will have 2 years AF on monday.
I am grateful I rarely think of alcohol nowadays.
I am grateful I randomly decided to add some whipped cream to the top of my coffee this morning. It’s so good and makes it like a Starbies latte.
I got the whipped cream to make pup cups but then thought Starbucks puts it on top of their lattes. I like their lattes but not all the sugar in there. Tomorrow I think I will sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the cream
ah yes — that will be the cherry on top so to speak glad you enjoyed the less sugary version (and in the comfort of your home where you can make it any time )
Thank you @JazzyS your post made me laugh. I wish I could draw, I would love to picture all these little and bigger nonsense of my ex in comic strips. Would be some laughter added at the meme thread
I’ve come to terms with it. I’m grateful it doesn’t cause deep annoyance anymore in general. When it helps him, it’s ok for me. I will not touch anything he fumbles on, not my circus, not my monkey. As long as he stays off my stuff and doesn’t cause further bullshit I have to fix. I hope at least he learned THIS lesson.
It’s only a matter of time until clearing and it will happen before the next ice age.
Back on track. I’m grateful a friend invited me to the season opening concert at the opera house. It was marvellous. I’m grateful I made it home safe. I’m grateful I feel like the wild party girl, enjoying a concert, being up so late and having a snack I’m grateful I’m goofy and have fun!
I’m grateful I did grocery shopping, vacuumed and did laundry. I’m grateful the cats are not impressed and shed like crazy. I’m grateful I cooked one of my favourite meals today to celebrate equinox. I’m grateful I allow myself to be sensitive again because there’s nobody hurting me anymore. I’m grateful I smile a lot since I moved to the farm. I’m grateful for smiles out of happiness, peace, equanimity, feeling safe and the pure joy of living here. I’m grateful for all my blessings ODAAT
PS: I steal your whipped cream with cinnamon topping idea @Runningfree I’ll put it on a hot chocolate
Sunday gratitude for…
A cool sunny autumn day.
My two kitties who love me no matter what.
Fingers healing well…soon I’ll be able to do the dishes again, though
A good nights sleep
Sourdough bread.
This great TS community…
I am so sorry for your POTS episode - grateful that you are feeling better today and enjoyed that smoothie
