I’m grateful tonight for @erntedank’s funny post,
for being sober, for companionship on the path, for my little house, for my beautiful horse.

Today I am sooo Grateful for an old friend visiting ( husbands friend first but now mine as well). Been 10 years since I last saw him. He was shocked that I cooked a good meal, lol! ( I didn’t cook when he met me)
I’m definitely Grateful for my sobriety and proud to say I am AF 
My life is so much better without it and honestly I don’t even miss it. I don’t dwell on replacing it or worrying about my life without it. It’s just not on my mind at all.
30+ years of drinking … it’s totally doable to go without it.
Gotta get back to visiting,
Have a good night TS family

I’m grateful for my monthly phone call with one of my best friends. Three hours on the phone well spent. I’m grateful that I still have phone calls with people and that everything has not devolved into texting and social media–especially since my sense of humor doesn’t always tramslate well in text.

I am grateful for friends, checking in on me. Although I cant handle the explaining at the moment, I am still grateful they are around. Meanwhile, I go through the motions. Taking a trip to the woods today, trees and nature usually do the trick. I am grateful I know this funk is temporary. If I take action, it won’t get worse. Who knows, it might even get better 
. I am grateful I can manage. Grateful for my comfy sweater and hot winter beverages. Grateful for this online miracle place of connection that’s always there when I need it…

I’m grateful Benson seems himself this morning. We think he had some kind of seizure last night. I’m grateful it seemed short and not too bad after checking Dr Google. I’m grateful I know where the 24 hour vet is. Checked it. They’re still open. This was not on my bat shit bingo card 
I’m grateful I woke up with Daisy butt and the Burner in my face and by my head.
I’m grateful we enjoyed our dinner at home and a movie at home last night. I’m grateful we were both sober yesterday and I’ll be sober today and probably tomorrow.
I’m grateful for my new cappuccino maker. I haven’t actually used the new machine yet.
I’m grateful for my new hoodie. I hope I can just buy one. Doubtful 
I’m grateful there’s only 3 colors in this style. I’m grateful how long it is. I’m long.
I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful I haven’t found a house yet in Cali. I’m grateful where I am. It’s hard dropping the pets off and doing extreme visiting in Dallas or Thousand Oaks but I’m grateful we can do it. Grateful we get to do it. Grateful we do it sober now. Well, I do.
I’m grateful I got an Al-Anon meeting tonight, it seems like it’s been awhile.
I’m grateful I had a lazy football day yesterday, my team lost, grateful we went out for brunch, grateful I got the grocery shopping done by myself. Grateful I was rewarded with a cappuccino after, and grateful I made us a nice dinner after that.
I’m grateful all the travel laundry was done in less than 24 hours home and I never had to lift a finger to help after I unpacked all the dirty clothes.
I’m grateful for my recoveries and I’m grateful her recovery is her recovery not mine.
Grateful for all you guys still right here.
Did you know? By writing down the things you are grateful for… you start looking for more things to be grateful for.

Today I’m grateful for an easy sunday. Woke up later than usual by my tamping oldtimer. Had a nice hot shower and Missi wanted cuddles, so back to bed. I’m grateful I fell asleep again with this purring furball on me until lunchtime. I’m grateful I decided to skip everything I had planned for today and relax for the rest of the day. Just relax. Ordered pizza (grateful that on sundays delivery service is available here). Bingewatched series. Cuddled cats. Sat in the dark and watched the lightened christmas decorations I already set up.
I’m grateful the ex texted and asked for an appointment to go through his stuff to sort out what’s mine. Let’s see when it happens. Waiting for an answer on my suggestions.
I’m grateful I felt less lonely today. I’m grateful I do many little things to keep up with life. I’m grateful I know it has to be more to really keep up with life. I’m grateful I rested today and slept a lot. Maybe all the changes in my life cost more energy than I have at the moment. I’m grateful for ODAAT

I’m grateful it’s Sunday, and it’s physically been a tough one, not sure why specifically why it’s worse than usual, but I have days like this.
I’m grateful for my car, and my passenger can be Buddy 
when I go places I don’t have to get out. I don’t know what I’d do without him, I think my dependency may be over the top.
I wrote a lot more and just erased it.
I’m grateful I have everything I need.

I am grateful for my gratitude practice and how easily it can turn moments around. This morning I was begrudgingly staining a crate to use as display during the Xmas market season. How quickly I was able to turn those thoughts around using gratitude… " Im so grateful to have found this extra crate it will help greatly in my display!" " I am so fortunate to have the money to buy stain so that all of these crates could match. " Before I knew it I was done and my crate looked beautiful.
I am grateful for “the pause” , and I am grateful for my intuition. I am grateful that I can be honest with G even though I am not sure he likes it very much.
I am grateful that I finally took the dive and booked a trip for the kiddo and I. I am grateful to be able to make the most of our time, because I only get to live this life with her once.

I’m grateful for Stella’s post reminding me how precious the time with my kiddo is. I never get a day off from being a mom and this morning I found myself resentful. It all started with daddy saying I do nothing but sleep. How the fuck is that even possible? I go to bed around 11pm and I’m up at 4:30am 6 days a week. I take a 2 hour nap late Saturday afternoons out of pure exhaustion. My days are full between work, sobriety, caring for our daughter and maintaining a clean home. I could sure use a cleaning service monthly.
Anyway, back to gratitude because God knows I need it. Grateful I took my daughter to the cinema to see the Taylor Swift concert. Not my kind of music but well worth it to see her so lively singing and dancing. Grateful for the dinner we had afterwards even though it was only fast food. Grateful for that time together, just the 2 of us.
Grateful for the little bit of Christmas shopping that’s done. Gotta start somewhere. I’m grateful I ordered the Hess truck for my girl and it came already. She has a collection but last year they sold out before I had the funds to buy it. She understands but it still makes me feel like a shit mom.
Grateful for a warm cozy home.
Grateful for each and everyone of you who post on this thread and all the reminders of the stuff I’m grateful for too but can’t seem to think of on my own.

@chuckie22 Grateful that you are having a good visit with your friend. Way to keep kicking ass on this sobriety journey!
@chiron Texting totally loses something in translation. Grateful to be able to catch up with friends. Glad you had a lovely phone call
@dazercat I am grateful Benson is doing better this morning. My goodness last night must have been a bit scary.
Grateful for this as well – absolutely love how life in recovery is so enlightening and rewarding 
@maxwell Sorry its been a tough physical day – we are here if you need us.
@lisa07 ah Lisa – REST my friend. I am sorry that you were made to feel that way. Won’t lie – It made me mad to read that that someone would say that you spend so much time sleeping with your schedule. I do hope you are able to see the BS in this comment. Grateful for the fun filled day you had with your daughter.

I’m grateful to get up at a more reasonable time this morning, not too late, not too early, not too dark out.
I’m grateful for a good nights sleep.
I’m grateful Benson was just acting a bit weird last night. He’s a freak. I’m grateful he seems normal, for a dog, this morning.
I’m grateful when there is no one signed up to chair meetings, I love to volunteer and pick the topic. I’m grateful I picked Obsessive Thinking. Like no one’s ever gotten stuck in that loop before May 20 and November 1 in your Courage To Change book.
I’m grateful the week is mostly planned and we get to leave again Saturday 
I’m grateful part of that planned week is a kick ass massage for me. Grateful we’re getting wifey’s car fixed.
I’m grateful for memes and coffee.
I’m grateful to see the courage of people that are so brave to come back to TS on day 0 or day 1 again. You guys are incredible. Never give up always surrender.
I’m grateful I don’t have to cook dinner tonight.
I’m grateful my sponsor is making me work step 4 in the Blue Print For Progress. I don’t like it! I’m grateful what I don’t like is the “school work.” I’m grateful to read back over my answers later.
I’m grateful for the fun thread @maxwell started yesterday.
I’m grateful to meet new faces on the sober selfie thread. Especially people that have been around awhile.
I’m grateful next time I’m stuck in the obsessive thinking hamster wheel I can remember to do a gratitude list right here. I forgot 
I’m grateful that even though I do my gratitude in the morning I can still use it as a tool anytime. I just didn’t think of it. Like I already did my gratitude I’m grateful I can use the serenity prayer meditation next time too. I’m grateful to learn what I can try next time I’m stuck in obsessive thinking.
I’m grateful for tons of Norma pics this morning from her trip to Cali. I’m grateful we can get aboard the Gus Bus next weekend.
Grateful for y’all.
