14 months
I’m so fucking happy for you M.
Great job
Good morning dear soberians,
I’m grateful Im starting to feel better.
I’m grateful first time this week I have nothing important to do and I can rest 3 good hours when kids won’t be at home, I’m sure gonna feel much better afterwards, I really need it.
I’m grateful boys woke up in good moods.
I’m grateful I seen them happy dancing to some old Captain Jack hit in the radio, hilarious
I’m so grateful they are healthy.
I love them so much.
Brian, Emm congratulations on 7 and 14 months!!!
Morning gratitude. I’m grateful I found at least some sleep this night, I was awake past midnight and tossed and turned until 5.30. I’m grateful I feel safe at my farm, it’s so quiet and only the moonlight lightens the dark. I’m grateful for a night without cats to settle on my own. I needed it. I’m grateful I enjoy it day by day, not worrying about the future. ODAAT.
I’m grateful for the thought that I’m perfectly able to chat for hours and chew on my thoughts without beer, nearly the same result: headache, sleep deprived and a little bit cranky. But no hangover, a semi-clear head and not wishing to fall asleep instantly. So yeah, a fucked up night is a fucked up night and I’m grateful for it because I got this sunrise with a wonderful cup of tea
I’m grateful for amazing people further down the line than me sharing and showing me it can be done. Congratulations @I.cant.We.can and @M-be-free49 for 7 and 14 months-amazing!
I’m grateful my cat adventurer has returned home after 4 months away. We were very worried but he looks healthy enough, if a little skinny.
Grateful the vet could fit me in today to get him checked over.
Grateful that his sister’s reaction was a scowl and stalking off, she knows she has to share the love (and food station) again
Grateful for another interview invite for later this month.
Grateful for sunshine, coffee and croissants outside for breakfast.
Grateful for the NHS, even if waiting lists are long, it is reassuring to have things in motion.
Grateful that @Dazercat has shown me adding another F makes AFAF even better.
Grateful to be FAFAF, ODAAD.
Grateful to all of you here.
Good morning friends,
I’m grateful that today is 3 years sober for me. I’m grateful that I didn’t experience to much (or any?) milestone malady this time. Probably did a little. I’m grateful for the life I’ve made, and continue to work at. I’m grateful I accidentally found TS, and then was led to this thread, my home thread. I’m grateful I have all of you, that I was excited to share my time with the gratidudes and gratidudettes- I know you all know how much goes into recovering and will share my happiness in a way that the normies in my life can’t. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness, and chances❤️
Huge congrats to you on your 3 years dear @Sunflower1! (this is the home thread celebration )
I can’t imagine this place without you and your words and recovery.
Wishing you a day of celebratory joy around each corner! And cake or the like!

This morning I’m grateful for …
I’m grateful for my new job that I start today!
Good morning grateful friends,
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful it’s Friday and payday.
I’m glad my doctor takes my complaints seriously and investigates. Not thrilled about possible outcomes, but grateful I’m getting things checked out.
I’m grateful I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I get the work done. Although right now even that’s a struggle.
I’m grateful for the start of (American) football.
I’m grateful I’m learning to take things OFDAAT
I’m grateful to be on day 58.
Grateful for the candor and humor and compassion I witness here on this forum every day.
Grateful for the near miss I had a couple weeks ago, because it showed me how much I really value my sobriety and made me even more determined to carry on with this AF journey ( to others who posted about near misses!)
Grateful I can help migrating hummingbirds who are voraciously sipping at my nectar feeders. So amazing, these little creatures!!! I’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Grateful for the wildlife haven our bit of acreage has become over the past 40 years. It was just a patch of open field when we first started out.
CONGRATS love - 3 years is amazing… be proud and say it loud “I am a BADASS”
Grateful that you did not have much milestone malady. Keep doing what you are doing and stacking on them days!
Glad you are feeling better.
Your boys are adorable! Love those smiles
Congratulations Sunflower.
What a great way to start the day here at our thread.
I’m soooo gratefully excited for you!!
Three years!! How amazing are you? Ya you!
What a wonderful Friday morning to be spending with all you glorious sober souls.
I am so grateful for my connections here on TS - so many lovely friends. Grateful to still be learning more about each and everyone of you and your journeys.
I am so grateful that i did get some sleep again last night. Feels weird that two nights of sleep and i feel less awake then when i went with little sleep for so long. Guess my body is adjusting.
I am so grateful that i do have PT today (it has been confirmed 3 times so not another cancelled appointment). Grateful that i feel better today so will be ready for it and hoping that i don’t have the same experience afterwards.
I am so grateful for my family and all the support they offer. Grateful for my friends checking in on me. Grateful that I can easily say that I’m not ready to meet up or socialize without feeling guilty.
I am so grateful for a lovely fall like morning - waking up and enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Sitting at the kitchen table waiting for my friendly squirrel to drop by.
I am so grateful that i am mobile today - 2 days in a row. I feel good in my skin.
I am so grateful that my doctor is going to order another spit test kit. We decided the not to submit the last test as the results would be inaccurate.
I am so grateful that my out of network doctor did work in network and is able to recommend some good Gyno doc’s - the one i had was a joke and treated me like shit. I am grateful that i am not stuck with this one and have choices.
I am so grateful that the Urgent care just opened up next to my PT office which is 5 min away from me so I don’t have to travel to far to get my X-rays at the end of the month.
I am so grateful that I will have the energy to gather all that is needed for the festival and set it up for my brother. Grateful as all hell that i do not have to do the festival myself. Grateful for my sis and BIL for stepping in.
I am so grateful for horror season. It’s my time of the year - grateful that i resisted in purchasing anything while out shopping (it was super hard) - they always come up with new stuff that is a “must” have and i was able to walk away. I am grateful that i am living with my brother and don’t have the room for any more Halloween stuff.
I am so grateful having time this morning to meditate and pray before my appointment and again after my appointment. I need to buckle down with my practice and tighten my bond with my HP.
I am so grateful for all of you and this thread. Grateful to hear that is the “home thread” for so many - i totally feel this way too… Grateful to feel welcomed and invited and at HOME.
Hope everyone is having / does have a wonderful addiction free FRIDAY. Sending you all so much love
I’m grateful to start my day on the gratitude thread celebrating Sunflower’s 3 year milestone.
I’m grateful to be up too early after a great nights sleep again.
Coffee
Pets fed
Burner walked
Cat’s plugged in
House cleaned up for the house cleaner
Grateful sober lunch out. Don’t want to mess up the clean kitchen. Grateful nap in the future.
Grateful to be able to hunker down in the a/c as we are having excessive heat down here.
Grateful for air conditioning.
Grateful for a north south facing house with a nice deck overhang that give us lots of shade.
Grateful for a beautiful sunrise walk with Benson.
Grateful for the fluffle of bunnies on my walk.
Grateful for the birdsong.
Grateful for the Green Tara Mantra.
Grateful for yesterdays meeting giving me exactly what I need.
Grateful I expressed myself here yesterday even though I kind of thought it seemed silly or maybe not such a big deal. But I’m in uncharted territory and want to be perfect and not slip up in my sobriety. I’m grateful that’s what you guys, we all are, here for.

What a beautiful quote @Dazercat
Happy 3 years @Sunflower1
Evening gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I can change plans if necessary. A migraine hit me midst of the day. I’m grateful I was able to finish shopping. I’m grateful I layed down, the cats purred around me and I was able to fall asleep. I’m grateful I ordered dinner from my favourite indian restaurant. Only ate half, stomach is a bit upset. I’m grateful I just stay at home today, the two carloads of stuff I need to transport to the farm can wait until tomorrow, the cats too. And if not tomorrow then maybe the day after tomorrow. I’m grateful I listen to my body and rest. I’m grateful I’m kind to myself, not stressing. I’m grateful I take it one day at a time. I’m tired and feeling unwell, taking it from minute to minute, breathing, remembering it will pass calms me Thinking of your wise words @Soberbilly
ODAAT & First things first
