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 @eph-M-eral 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❤️

This morning I’m grateful for …
- Day 18
- An alternate route from my forest trail run, I did part of it on trails but got chased out to finish on the road by my little insect friends haha.
- Others’ success in sobriety, I’m happy for you and take inspiration from you, thank you.
- Trees and Mother Earth, they give me peace.
- Getting very antsy to head back out to New Mexico. Not sure why I’m grateful for that but I am
- Nutritious food and cookbooks that make it taste good.
- My animal friends, always.
- Doggy daycare so my doggos can socialize and get their yaya’s out.
- Poetry. I have written quite a few poems and am going to get back to it today and get my FB poetry page back online.
- Changing the air filter on my vacuum cleaner so it actually works

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.

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

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

I’m grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that it was a more organized work day today. I’m grateful for music, creativity, humor and laughter. I’m grateful for all your shoutouts for my seven months. I’m grateful that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are going to lose to my Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Congratulations on your milestones of 14 month’s @eph-M-eral and @Sunflower1 three years, WOW. Keep moving forward. I’m grateful to be relaxing on the love seat now. I’m grateful for prayer, meditation and binary beats. I’m hoping to hear from my friend soon who relapsed and asked last night to grab food, hang out and play chess until my NA homegroup meets later tonight.
God bless us all. &
p.s. You are absolutely incredible. Ya you!!

Saturday morning is my favorite time of the week and I’m so grateful to be here with you all to enjoy it.
I’m grateful to have work that inspires and fulfills me.
I’m grateful for a great start to another school year and for the excitement it brings.
I’m grateful to have adorable students in my classroom who are all anxious to be successful.
I’m grateful for new colleagues who are stepping up to the challenges of teaching in collaboration with me.
I’m grateful to have my sobriety and be able to sleep and exercise and work without the alcohol monster fucking with my head every day.
I’m grateful that the first week of school is over. As good as it was, the first week is chaotic and overstimulating for everyone!
I’m grateful that I did not forget my Spanish over the summer.
I’m grateful for plenty of resources being available to work with my students.
I’m grateful that my own children are grown and I don’t have to do the “second shift” of coming home to manage them and their schoolwork. Those were hard years. I’m grateful my sons are grown men with lives of their own and that they are happy young men.
I’m grateful my husband and I are both sober so our relaxation routines are very compatible.
I’m grateful my husband is happy to be back to his job at a school as well.
I’m grateful that my brother continues to progress in his recovery and I’m grateful he has worked through some of the hardest parts of ending his marriage. There are still hard parts to go, but I think he is going to come out reasonably well on the other side.
I’m grateful he has confided in me and let me help him every day since last October. I’m grateful for the healing this has brought me and the work I still need to do on the trauma of our childhood.
I’m grateful the weather today is beautiful!
I’m grateful I will have time today to do my house chores and then plan some lessons for next week. My goal is to spend my Sundays with low key recreation and reading as that calms my mind for the coming week.
I’m grateful for good health and the beautiful swimming pool I get to use each day before school. Swimming at that time of day is energizing and calming at the same time and helps me stay emotionally even during the day.
I’m grateful to be the oldest teacher in the school and still be able to swim those laps every morning and be the first one in the building for the meditative walk down the hallway before the activities of the day. That morning routine is key to my calm and kind responses during the day.
I’m grateful to have this community of support. While I am so pleased with my recovery progress, I know I must attend to it every day for my health and safety. I’m grateful to have this forum and to read a bit every day here and learn from all of you.
I wish you the best and a Saturday of peace and joy.
