Hey, someone told me thereās a new Grati-cat on the thread! Is it soā¦?
Iām grateful to meet you, Peace! Itās me - the dog girl.
Iām grateful your human, @I.cant.We.can, found someone to take care of him! I can tell youāre just perfect for the job. They need us so, these humans.
Iām grateful my person and I spend most of our time together. She works mostly from home. She calls it work. Mostly she stares at a flat thing like a tv and often talks to people on it. āTheyāre not realā I try to tell her. āThey have no smell.ā But you know humansā¦
Iām grateful sheās getting help with her work habits. Iām grateful she doesnāt bolt from her desk anymore to gun down a drink right before our pre-dinner walk. She really enjoys our walks now! She was kicking up leaves today. We cawed back at the crows. Waved to the honking geese.
Iām grateful she stopped gunning down drinks altogether. Sipping, slurping. Whatever you wanna call it. (And she calls me a sloppy drinker with my water dishā¦).
Those werenāt easy days.
These are so much better.
Now, Iām not a young dog. Iāll be 13 in the spring. I couldnāt chase you if I wanted to, Peace! I have no plans to check out any time soon, but still. We never know when our time is up. I do know this: she said sorry. Thanked me for sticking with her, and promised me she wonāt go back to the before times when itās my time to go. So now we just enjoy our days and time to the fullest!
Present and sober with the one or ones you love. It doesnāt really get any better than that, Peace.
Wishing you and your person a good long life together.
(Oh, and treats. Abundant treats! Guilt is a tactic to be used. There are others. Stay tuned.)
Iām grateful she has opposable thumbs and could type this for me.
Weāre grateful for another day.
Hello dog girl. Iām grateful my human read me your ātailā I already donāt like this phone of his, I need his love and attention, when I want it, like he has any other choice. Thank you for not chasing after me and arenāt our owners adorable now that they pay attention to life, including ours. My human left today to check in at work and go to some meeting all I did was sleep, he thinks hes sleeping tonight meow hah hah, Iām barely 70 odaats and love these soft, smelly, chewy shoes of his that I already leave in the middle of the floor. Did you know if you swipe your paw on these screens they lose their place. He has been giving me pets and attention and lets me love him to āPeaceāsā Purring seems to really keep him calm and happy. Grateful to meet a gratipet and thank you all for helping my human.
p.s. You are all purrrfect. Ya mew!!
Oh my god, @M-be-free49 @I.cant.We.can this is lovely!!!
To read this in bed before getting up, with my old boy on my chest purring away made my heart melt
Have a beautiful sober day/night dear gratitudes and gratipets
Iām grateful for reading it still in bed @M-be-free49 @I.cant.We.can. You guys made my day
Now, where is Luna, I must cuddle her š©µ
Grateful for the appointement i had for my son today. It went well and he is doing great.
Grateful for the day off we had together.
Grateful for being sober and staying it.
Grateful for my daughter who did her speech and is now on student council.
Grateful for the beautiful relationship i have with my boyfriend. I am really going through a tuff time and heās always there
Thank you
Oh grateful morning! I am grateful for the all chuckles I had catching up on this thread @Dilettante @M-be-free49 @I.cant.We.can. Grateful you can find a little more patience with your loved one @Dazercat. I am certain the september experience was a valuable step towards sobriety, even though the demon might have taken over again for now. I am grateful your secret is out of the box and your friends are there for you to lean on. I am grateful for my upcoming vacations and the time out from daily life. Iāve been feeling a little stuck so I am really looking forward to have some time to regroup and figure out, what to do next.
I am grateful I adressed some uneasy feelings with a friend and didnāt act on the feeling, that I immediately have to soften or undo what I said, so he would feel better. It felt good to stay in my own truth.
I am grateful its a public holiday today. I am grateful for friends time today and some play time with their kids.
Grateful for every share on here. It is always such a positive kickstart into the day.
Good morning sober fam,
Im so very greatful forā¦
My sobriety, 520 daysā¦surreal
Getting sober has taught me im capable of more than i give myself credit forā¦just gotta fight thru the discomfort
Bucked routine,skipped the gym, and took Boscoe for a long walk
Quiet, calm
Modern comforts
Time with hubby
Making progress at work
A new day
Good morning grateful friends,
When I struggle to find anything to be grateful for (like today), Iām reminded to be grateful for the love of our pets.
And Iām grateful Peace adopted @I.cant.We.can as his human.
OFDAAT
Yes, Iām grateful to start my day with laughter too!
Ya mew too, Peace!
Onward with the day. Later, Gratidudes
@Dazercat Hugs to you, friend.
@Sasxoxo Onward! Well done on a speedy return.
@Pandita Enjoy your day! Iām excited about your vacation.
Today I am grateful that itās pay day and I will be able to go looking for Halloween decor for my house after work. I love Halloween and canāt wait to get some new decorations. I am also grateful for remembering about a vision board I made with a 5 year plan and some other goals on it. For some reason I had forgotten all about it.
Iām grateful, even though I woke up hating my wife this morning, I know itās the addict inside her I hate.
Iām grateful Iām having a hard time shaking this feeling and went right to insight timer for a quickie about releasing anger. Or better yet feeling it. And trying to let it go. Iām grateful in the middle of it, they told me to put one hand on my 7th chakra and my other hand on my third eye and I was like laughing to myself because I donāt know what the fuck they are and I couldnāt wait to tell wifey about it.
Iām grateful to try and leave my struggles here with yāall.
Iām grateful for TS Gratitude Tears because of all the love and support and genuine concern you all have for me. @Pandita your comments, the first thing I read this morning, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for a nice cleansing way to start my day.
Iām grateful I recognize my stinking thinking about later today. Tonight. Tomorrow. When we get home. And I quickly try to bring myself into the present. IT DOESNāT FUCKING MATTER WHAT HAPPENS later today, tonight, tomorrow, or when we get home.
Right now is what I have:
My Stumptown coffee.
You all. Ya comes first
Beautiful hotel room.
Beautiful wife.
Beautiful family Iāll be moving to be near.
Beautiful friends from Austin.
My SIL and nieces showed up yesterday.
Our charitable foundation meeting today.
A great real estate agent who drove us around yesterday.
Yāall checking in on me.
My health.
My beautiful caring heart.
Sunshine on my face through the window warming me up.
Watching the sunrise from said window with my coffee.
My beautiful gratitude practice that has gotten me this far. Very far.
And PEACE our new Graticat. you know whatās better than a kitten? 2 kittens I canāt wait to watch Peace grow with you.
Iām grateful Iām going to show my wife Peace. I didnāt want to show her yesterday because I was so angry. SPITE Or show her today because Iām still mad. But Iām only hurting myself. Peace is going to help heal us as well. What a beautiful HP you got now Brian.
Iām grateful I get another day.
Happiness cannot be far behind a grateful heart and a peaceful mind

Today Iām grateful for:
@i.cant.we.can Awe -what a beautiful kitty and Peace is such a lovely name. Oh my goodness Peace ā so lovely to hear your voice as well. Grateful that your human let you say your helloās. You two are much needed for each other
@m-be-free49 Oh my goodness Dog-girl so lovely to meet you and I know you are in good hands with your human too. Love your sense of humor and am grateful that you were able to stick with Emm during her hardships.
Yes ā Yes you are able to do whatever you set your mind to!
@sasxoxo YEAH to getting Halloween dĆ©cor and ooh the fun it will be putting it up. So excited for you!!! 5 year plan ā love it ā my sister has a vision board that she keeps in her bathroom and swears by it ā says it has really helped her focus on her goals.
@dazercat I am so grateful for the insight timer and all your other tools you have to help you when the feelings become too much. It is ok to feel angry and hurt but also know that this is her journey. Hope that she will find her way back to sobriety but you can only control your own actions. I too am grateful for your beautiful caring heart (it is massive and that is why you hurt so deeply). I am sorry for the hurt but grateful for all the love you share. I do hope today is a beautiful day for you!!
Tuesday morning gratitudeās!!!
OH MY ā iām grateful for another day on Earth. Grateful for the peace in my heart. Grateful that my chest is not hurting today and my throat is 100% healed from the EGD.
I am so grateful that i spoke with my doctor and she is also worried that the ovarian cyst is growing large fast and I should get the MRI so I will be scheduling this today. I did call for an appointment with a better OBGYN but that is a mid January appointment. Will get the MRI and see what happens.
I am so grateful that my renters left the place is fairly decent shape. The yard is a hot mess as they let everything just grow wild. Grateful that my aunt has a landscaper guy who is willing to check out the place Thursday and hopefully will be able to tame the beast.
I am so grateful for cooler days ahead so I can go when itās not super hot to clean up the insides. Hoping to have it on the market by Monday.
I am so grateful that my sprinker vavle was not broken - the first tech was new and did not know that the zone needed more water to blow it out properly. Grateful that even though i waited 4 hours for the tech he was able to blow out all zones properly and not charge me for this visit.
I am so grateful that i have enough energy today to deal with our freezer that has decided to over frost. My goodness that was a lovely way to start the day.
I am so grateful that i will also have the energy to clean the house as my mom wants to bring my aunt and uncle (visiting from Iran) over tonight. The house cleaning is a breeze - just had a shitty moment on Friday morning as i was preparing for my procedures and i spilled coffee (lots of it) on the carpet. I was still out of it when i returned so the stain really set in. Have cleaned the carpet and somehow made it worse-- Hoping for some miracles today.
I am so grateful for my family support and unconditional love.
I am so grateful for how active this TS site has been - so many beautiful souls working on creating a better life for themselves. Love the support and love this community offers.
wishing everone a wonderful addiction free day! sending you all so much love
My first thought reading this was āI love these peopleā
79 days sober. I am grateful for my husband telling me last night that it had been a good day. I need to hear that more often.
I am grateful for acronyms.
Why
Am
I
Talking.
Lunchtime gratitude.
Iām grateful I fell asleep again yesterday before even catching up on the thread. Seems I need lots of sleep atm. Iām grateful I can take a nap today. Iām grateful itās a full day at home today. Life has gotten busy again and Iām not always comfortable with it.
Today I struggle with a necessary task. Iām afraid to try and fail. Iām not grateful for such homemade bullshit, itās exhausting. I feel overwhelmed and insecure. Iām grateful itās ok to feel that way. Iām grateful I work on these feelings, sadly nothing is helping up to now. I permanently fall asleep when I mediate (better: try to meditate). Iām grateful Missi is purring on me. Iām grateful I enjoyed a chill minute of sunrise on the balcony. Itās disturbing that itās dark outside when I get up. A week ago I woke up with sunrise at the same time. Iām grateful I notice that I feel very uncomfortable with so many changes at once in my life. Iām grateful I trust that I can handle all one day at a time
Iām really struggling today with overthinking and the hamsterwheel in my head. Iām questioning myself and my decisions. Iām grateful this too shall pass
Good morning sober fam,
Im so very greatful forā¦
