Good evening friends,
I’m grateful to celebrate my daughters birthday today. I’m grateful I don’t drink and forget to get stuff together ahead of time for special days like this. I’m grateful to be able to read and borrow gratitude when I need too. I’m grateful that my gratitude journal has been taking up most of my attention when writing out gratitude, but I will always read the homethread daily. I’m grateful I miss some of our gratidudes that might have moved on (@Soberbilly , @Bootz). I’m grateful for love and forgiveness. I’m grateful for hope.

Good morning, good buddies! I’m grateful for a cold but sunny morning, and I’m grateful I made it to the bus! New bus driver is a little earlier than old bus driver 
I’m grateful I finally finished the afghan I’ve been plugging away on! Hooray for actually finishing a longer-term project! I finished making the stepstool in woodworking class and now I just need to do the finishing bits! I’m grateful this weekend I finished the beaded belt buckle and acorn earrings I made as birthday gifts for friends in my DND group. I’m grateful to take a minute to recognize all the cool stuff I can do, because sometimes I overwhelm myself with ideas and plans but I feel really good about setting up these plans and knocking em out. I often think I can’t do things, but dudes I totally CAN do things! How cool is that?

I’m grateful for this community, as always…
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful I’ll be planting garlic today. Once you grow your own garlic, you can never go back to store bought stuff! I’m grateful I have given garlic to others to plant and they are now garlic growers. A growing community of garlic growers…
I’m grateful for morning reflection and gentle yoga and meditation to start my day.

I am grateful today for my new robot vacuum. I am drinking coffee and watching it clean my house as I read quietly this morning. @erntedank the kitties do not like it. In fact Bird swelled to three times his normal size when I turned it on. I wanted a picture but I didn’t want to traumatize him more.
More than time this vacuum gives me peace from the “whose turn is it to sweep/mop” debate. I’m grateful that although this is a luxury I went with the cheapest model. I’m grateful I’m becoming frugal.
I’m grateful for strong coffee and strong books. I’m reading Braiding Sweetgrass this morning and I have been for months. I’m grateful for fast books and I’m grateful for books like these where the pieces take time to digest.
I’m grateful I’ll never stop changing. I just thought to myself “maybe I’ll take some classes in Botany” and I’m grateful I added it to my ever growing list of things to learn/books to buy.
I’n grateful my brother reached out yesterday about Thanksgiving. I’ve been absent from most family things and planned to continue to be for this holiday. I’m grateful he figuratively dangled my 3 year old nephew’s presence as bait. I’m grateful I took that bait. I’m grateful it will be a short visit with no stress. I’ll show up, that is the first step.
I’m grateful for all you lovely peeps struggling and soaring along with me. I’m grateful for this space.

I’m grateful I got waylaid by my cat Mavy this morning and just sat with him. He’s such a good hp 
I’m grateful to wake up with Daisy again this morning. I’m grateful Benson and I got outside at the perfect time for a cloud colored sunrise. I’m grateful that delayed my morning routine too.
I’m grateful I got to my cardiologist for my yearly check up and he’ll see me next year.
Grateful we tried Portillos for hot dogs after. I’m grateful it was fun. I’m grateful I thought it was fun anyway 
I’m grateful we got home fed them all lunch and had a cappuccino and a meditation that put me out 
I’m grateful we got a new cat toy. Lots of grateful fun to watch. Grateful they love the box too.
Grateful to knock out a little gratitude as I’m wasting away another day sober and not feeling guilty about it.
Grateful I got my massage tomorrow. Grateful wifey canceled or got me to cancel hers. She was afraid to tell me and I assured her if she doesn’t want to go it 
ok with me. She’s got things she would rather do before we leave Saturday. I’m grateful she thought of my feelings and is relived I’m ok with it.
I’m grateful I made tonight’s dinner yesterday. Homemade soup and salad all ready to go when I gratefully get back from my 5 pm chiropractor appointment.
I’m grateful I think my Al-Anon meeting I lead last night with Al-Anon memes was a big hit. It sure was different. I’m grateful for everyone’s honest shares. I’m grateful I didn’t chicken out and tried something new.
I’m grateful for y’all.
Gratitude is the open door to the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.

I’m grateful and extremely humbled for my walk with the Lord. And it’s been a walk mind you. Definitely me being all over the map…literally and figuratively. But He’s immovable and is the same yesterday, today and forever.
I’m grateful for my family. My three kids, 2 grandchildren, SIL, brothers, dad, aunts and on…
I’m grateful for my health. Wow, this hits hard. To look back and remember my stays in the hospital, and doctors telling me I probably won’t make it is a small miracle. God surely had other plans 
I’m grateful my job where I can work remote in the coziness of my home, (pjs and coffee)
I’m grateful for a future and a hope that continues to be revealed to me day by day as I live in the moment
I’m grateful for this wonderful and supportive forum. Truely an aid in my sobriety and a consistent stream of encouragement that helps me big time.
I’m grateful for chocolate

I met my new neighbors today, Ron & Jim, they were out walking their dog and I happened to come outside and see them. I gave them a tour of my new place (still devoid of back ordered furniture lol). Jim asked me if I drank wine, and I said no, I no longer drink alcohol. He said, that’s cool. Then I walked with them to see their new house and we sat and talked and Jim asked me if I liked tea, to which I replied yes, and he wanted to know exactly what kind I like so that he could have it on hand for when I visited. To top it off, they had a desk & chair they wanted to get rid of so put it in their car and delivered it to me, so at least I have something other than my bed and meditation cushion to sit on! Grateful, full heart tonight

I’m grateful for peaceful alone coffee.
I’m grateful I have x-ray foto of my neck today. Probably not gonna show much but it’s first step to appointment with specialist and MRI (if needed). I’m grateful it’s 16km way to hospital and I will go on my bike. I’m grateful it’s not windy and rainy today. I’m grateful hospital is in beautiful city I used to live in (Gorinchem) and I’m gonna have a bit of time to take a walk. I miss Gorinchem.
It’s gonna be good day for us all.
Much hugs!

I am grateful my mind is not obsessing over alcohol. I am grateful I can direct my thoughts towards constructive things. I am grateful I get to work and building healthy habits and chosing the people in my life more wisely. I am grateful for the guidance my therapist provides me with. I am grateful for the long awaited parcel from Spain, that finally arrived yesterday. Tracking the delivery made me think it was sent by donkey. I am grateful for stews and soups and all the good things autumn brings. I am grateful its the thursday already and the weekend is near. Have a good day, grati-friends

I’m grateful this morning for TS.
I’m grateful for another sober day.
I’m grateful that my husband and I worked together in our garden, it’s the first time in months and I’m so glad he found the energy to work outside with me.
I’m grateful we will plant the garlic today. 120 cloves will go into the ground and next summer I will harvest 120 heads. Each head with four to six big cloves. Enough for all our cooking needs and to gift to others.
I’m grateful for yesterdays bike ride.

GOOOOOD MORNING G-Dudes!
I’m grateful this quiet morning seems to be taking its time. I feel like I’ve forgotten to do something. I’m grateful to relax and enjoy it.
I’m grateful I have not seen my wife passed out drunk in……I don’t know how many days. I’m grateful It doesn’t matter how many days. I’m grateful I got a clean kitchen in the morning too. So grateful for that. I’m grateful for ODAAT.
I’m grateful today is massage day for me. And I’ll be getting a happy ending 
with a scalp express 30 minute add on and a sole satisfaction 30 minute add on. Get your minds out of the gutter 
and I’m grateful I won’t be cooking lunch or dinner.
I’m grateful we are traveling again Saturday. Not really. I’m tired. But I’m grateful I didn’t plan any of this trip except the car rental since I have the app. I’m grateful I double as our travel agent but not this time. I’m grateful I’ll just go where I’m told and let her get us to the Gus Stop. I’m grateful it’s a short trip and maybe it won’t be too chaotic just yet.
Speaking of chaotic 
I’m grateful I realized I’ve been addicted to chaos most of my life.
The meme I pulled at my own Al-Anon meeting the other night was I am in recovery from an addiction to chaos. man oh man that got me thinking. I’m grateful I think that explains a lot.
I’m grateful with grandfather, father, and older sister always sick or in hospital when I was young, things were chaotic.
Im grateful when I left home and started managing one of the busiest high volume restaurants in Austin at 19 I learn to handle chaos for years. And never. Never ever, let them see you sweat. Not good for business.
I’m grateful I created a lot of my own chaos by handling it with drugs and alcohol. Working in a restaurant and bar they were readily available.
I’m grateful I have 2 recovering grown up wonderful children and maybe there was chaos then. Ya think!
I’m grateful for the chaos I’ve kept up with my wife during my almost 4 years of my recovery 
Fock me! I’m grateful sometimes I wonder why I’m tired 
I’m so fucking grateful for the way everything has turned out so far in my life. I’m grateful it’s time. Time to let the chaos go.
I’m grateful to get this out here. Can’t wait to reread it and see what the hell I just wrote.
I’m grateful my therapist wants me to journal and I’m not sure what to write. I’m grateful maybe I’ll start with this and expand.
I’m grateful to use this thread as my journal. Maybe a gratitude journal.
Not you first actually @Cjp I been trying to get this out for over half an hour. Good morning my sober buddy, I’m so glad to see you pop in up above. But you did get yours out first.
Grateful for y’all.

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 for humor and laughter. I’m grateful for prayer and meditation. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m very grateful I bought Peace a new enclosed cat litter box, keeps the smell and mess so much more manageable, my place is small, its in the bathroom and he loved to throw that stuff around, no more getting out of the shower and stepping on litter. It really is the little things. I’m grateful my sister has been driving me to work alot of mornings now, its nice to see her for even those five minutes three or four times a week. I’m grateful for sayings like, my secrets kept me sick and service keeps me sober. I’m grateful I do lots of service. I’m grateful my sponsor has arrived safely at his Florida vacation home and we still stay connected. I’m grateful I have a few sponsees and I can see and hear them trying their best. I’m grateful tomorrow is payday and that it didn’t effect me having to wait another day to get paid because of some banking holiday. I’m grateful that I get out of my recovery what I put into it. I’m grateful to be watching some t.v before bed, I like this Wrexham FC docu-series on prime. I’m grateful for running water, working heat, a sober mind and breathe in my lungs. I’m grateful I practice abstinence from both alcohol and drugs and said no to pain medication the Dr. offered when I hurt my back about six weeks ago now. I’m grateful I booked a massage for Tuesday, with no happy ending Eric
God bless us all. 
&
p.s. You’re a star, shine bright. Ya you!!

I’m grateful I have Mavy purring on my lap as I carefully do my gratitude as to not disturb him. I’m grateful for my iPad that’s makes this possible. I’m grateful for his rhythmic purring/breathing trying to drown out the kitchen fridge noises and Benson doing his licking. I hate the licks!! I’m grateful for the ice pack I’m sitting on and the blanket under the cat keeping me toasty. I’m grateful I can watch the sky go from dark to dawn. I’m grateful we got clouds again today. I’m grateful Mavy buggered off. I’m grateful I can now shut the light off and better see the day awakening. I’m grateful for my hearing as I hear Mavy getting his last crunchies from his bowl on the kitchen island. I’m grateful I remembered my coffee is too cold to finish. I’m grateful for microwaves and I’ll nuke it when I’m done with this and gratefully enjoy my last couple of glugs. I’m grateful for indoor plumbing. I’m grateful to share this moment of gratitude with you.
