I’m grateful I caught myself smiling when the sun hit this long swordlike cloud. I thought :thinking: there it is :blush: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m grateful it’s so peaceful and gorgeous walking that time of morning.

I’m grateful for a solid nights sleep only waking up once to pee :scream: tmi :man_shrugging:
I’m still grateful it’s a sober solid nights sleep.
I’m grateful my wife has been saying she’s been sleeping soundly. Gets up more often than me but gets back to a restful sleep.

I’m grateful for my recoveries.
I’m grateful I’m not new to recovery as I have seen some really broken down newcomers come in to the rooms the past week.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This family disease of addiction. Fuck! how it destroys lives of innocent loved ones. Fuck! how it’s destroying the lives of the innocent children and the mothers who are so fucking lost when they come into the rooms and all they can do is cry.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!
Sorry for the rant. Not sorry.

I’m grateful my grandchildren will not see that from me. I’m grateful my children are in recovery. I’m grateful I don’t know what they do for their recovery. I’m grateful my children are clean and sober for my grandchildren.
I’m grateful I don’t drink anymore and I don’t want to. And I probably won’t want to tomorrow.

I’m grateful for this gratitude homie thread.

Addiction is a family disease. One person may use, but the whole family suffers

Evening gratitude.
I’m grateful I ordered new glasses. Should arrive within a week.
I’m grateful I shopped catlitter. I’m grateful I only shopped what was on the list.

I’m grateful the cats accomodate quickly. They remember having lived here and they notice the changes. They love the new cat condo and their catnip toys. I had to share my dinner-ham. I’m grateful they feel good :pray:

I’m grateful for sunset on the deck, for more delicious tea, for the silence. I’m grateful I’ll be in bed soon. I’m looking forward to the sunrise on the balcony tomorrow. I’m grateful I’m like a chicken: curl up in the dark, up and moving with dawn.
I’m grateful I take good care of my body, soul and mind these days :pray: ODAAT

It’s been awhile since I posted a little gratitude and I have lots to be grateful for these days.

First up I am quickly approaching my 2 years of Sobriety ( on September 27th)
I am so grateful for my sobriety. I am not quite sure where I would be today if I had never decided to stop drinking, I am grateful I will never know that parallel life.
I am grateful I found Talking Sober- literally on day one of my journey. I would not have made it through my first few months without the humans who took me under their wings and gave me support and love when I needed it most. When I found it difficult to give myself these core needs- I was modeled them and showed love every day here from at the time complete strangers. I will forever be grateful for you all.
I’m grateful my family relationships have drastically improved. I no longer cling to my trauma and resentment. I’m grateful I have found a way to forgive. There are more boundaries and more difficult conversations- I am no longer the easy, quiet daughter.
I am grateful I have a relationship that started off showing me a lot of the ways I still needed to heal. I’m grateful I was able to detach in a healthy way that led to growth, safety, respect, and love.
I’m grateful she hits her 60 days sober soon :slight_smile:

I’m grateful for the courage I feel every day. I’m grateful my life isn’t on hold anymore. That I am no longer waiting to heal. Waiting for perfection. Waiting for something that was never coming.

I’m grateful my days are full of grace. For myself and for others. I’m grateful I talk about addiction. I’m grateful I normalize being human and making mistakes. I’m grateful I am less judgmental and less reactive. I’m grateful that my life is mine to create.

I’m grateful that I wake up and embrace my messy & imperfect life. I’m grateful I am awake for it all now and I get to do it sober.

Checking in with some early morning gratitude.

I’m grateful for the ladies AA meeting last night and the topic “easy does it”. All great shares and all relatable. I’m grateful for the reminder to slow down.

I’m grateful for the big office I have at work. I’m grateful the boss decided to move the new girl in with me. I’m grateful she’ll rarely come in and grateful for her company when she does. I’m grateful today I’ll get a chance to get to know her. We’ve met on Teams but it’s not the same.

I’m grateful for @Bootz and her safe travels. Thank you for that info on IMBD and Reel Dogs. I had no clue they existed.

I’m grateful my husband’s project in Philadelphia is ending at the end of October. This 5 hours a day on the road crap is getting old. I’m grateful his next project will be local and should last at least a year.

I’m grateful for all my TS peeps! Love all of you! :two_hearts:

A lovely Tuesday morning gratitude

I am so grateful for starting off this morning with love in my heart and ability to move around without severe pain. I am so grateful that i slept so damn good last night. I know it was a good sleep when i was able to move about the bed and not wake up due to pain… it seems like i really had a good wrestling match in my sleep - i do hope i won.
I am so grateful that I was able to stand for a long period of time and serve people with a smile yesterday - Grateful to be needed and grateful that i was able to show up. I am so grateful that I did have PT right after so it really helped take care of the extra pain and I feel like it lessened my swelling and pain levels a bit. I am so damn excited.
I am so grateful for seeing some lovely customers yesterday - grateful how genuine smiles can just brighten up your day!
I am so grateful that for not feeling super exhausted today. I am feeling like i can do anything today. Feel super energized and grateful that its like 68 degrees today and cloudy - my perfect day.
I am so grateful for the Horror Movie thread that @HakeemOsman started - this is my season for all things horror and i’ve been super disappointed with the movies i’ve seen thus far. Kinda of excited (who am i kidding - i’m so fucking excited) to see some of these recommendations
I am so grateful for prayers and meditations to help me relax and feel connected. I feel like i’ve been laxed in both of these and need to buckle down with my gratitude’s to my HP!
I am so grateful that as i’m typing this gratitude list my brother is watching Loudermilk in double speed and I’m able to follow the words and laughing along cause that shit was funny.
I am grateful to learn that there is a IMDB for dogs - wow - how cool is that – thanks Bootz
I am so grateful for my family - today’s my dads birthday - was able to call and have a lovely talk with him until my mom felt left out and grabbed the phone :laughing: Grateful that we are so damn close and are able to work together. We do have our clashes but overall we mesh well together.
I am so grateful for all you beautiful souls! Thank you for being here with me on this life long journey. Grateful to be learning so much about myself and learning healthier coping mechanisms through these threads. You guys ROCK!
Have a wonderful addiction free day - sending you so much love :heart: :heart:
