A gracious good morning, TS friends! Grateful for you…
I’m grateful we got the garlic planted and mulched and ready for its winter sleep.
I’m grateful I had a great checkup with doc yesterday, did the blood panel, all numbers improved, especially TSH and cholesterol. Attributed to quitting drinking. Great incentive to stay on this path!
I’m grateful I apologized again to my husband for all the times I got crazy drunk and yelled and fought with him, I’m grateful he responded with appreciation and a mention of his own relationship with alcohol, a mere mention that I was able to accept without pouncing on it. I’m grateful he is aware of his own struggles and I’m grateful I’m staying focused on my own health.
I’m grateful for another sunny day.
I’m grateful for the coffee ritual every morning, its decaf and I love 
it.
I’m grateful for chocolate.
Happy Friday my beautiful grateful sober friends 
I am so grateful for the knock out sleep sessions i have had for past 3 nights… yeah, the days are super groggy and for some reason i still don’t feel rested but it is amazing to be so deep in sleep . I am hoping that once my body adjusts that my grogginess will lift too. 
I think the melatonin and magnesium are helping (weird how in the past the same combo did nothing).
I am so grateful for my lovely coffee times with mom. SO funny that we get together - laugh, yell and scream and still want to spend more time with each other. She is truly my best friend. I am grateful for her love and support.
I am so grateful that somehow i am a whole week behind (not just the wrong days - @dazercat 
) Grateful that i was able to figure this out in time to still make the pies that needed to be delivered today. Grateful that i only had to make 2 trips to the store. Grateful that my OB appointment is on Tuesday so that i can get my surgery scheduled quicker. I do hope she doesn’t need me to go through any more hoops before this is approved.
I am so grateful that my brother got me the first season of the Morning Show so that i could watch that while i baked yesterday. I can’t believe its the second show with Steve Carell that I actually am enjoying. Maybe his acting now is better or ???
I am so grateful for my hot coffee and my delicious protein packed sugar free cookie. I needed something hardy to start off the day. Will do my juicing and cleansing this afternoon.
I am so grateful for a cloudy rainy day that is not too cold.
I am so grateful that i was able to find new jewelry for my piercings. My brother does not like the eyebrow barbell. 
I am so grateful my gratitude, my meditation / prayer practices. Grateful that i know a positive attitude can be so detrimental in the healing process.
I am so grateful for energy today. I am hoping to get a few things accomplished. I am grateful that i have enough “go” in me to try and push myself a bit today.
I am so grateful for my coffee. On a cool gloomy day it just offers the perfect pairing.
I am so grateful to hear that a good friend came to visit the restaurant yesterday. Has had a few hard years with health and life and is thriving now. Retired early and living her best life in Portugal. My mom is now actually considering the move. 
I am so grateful for clean air to breathe, freedom to move about freely, abundance of good food and clean water, a secure safe place to live and a warm comfortable bed. 
I am so grateful for this community. I have made such amazing connections in such a short period of time. I am indebted to all of you for helping me keep on this path. I appreciate the raw emotions, the total honesty and the non judgmental caring. You guys ROCK!
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
I am grateful for such all the tiny changes, which are actually huge that come with sobriety. Today is my day off, I have zero obligations and zero plans today. That used to mean I would end up hammered, once, maybe twice in the day. I can feel the anxiety I used to feel planning a day off.
Days off always ended drunk. There was always a bar or two involved, maybe a few bars with a nap in between. I would have very emotion laden conversations with people who I wish well but who didn’t know me. I wouldn’t eat much throughout the day but I was fatter than I’ve ever been. I spent too much money and shuffled credit cards to cover “special” dinners which were just dinners with lots of booze. I laughed a lot but I laughed at everything, trying to convince myself I was living it up.
I was trapped with a need then and I didn’t know any other way to live. I’m grateful I’ve given myself 639 days to learn how to live differently. Life is quieter but life is richer. I have rediscovered joy. Happy Friday you beautiful people. I am grateful. Great. Full.
Just hopping in for some late night/early morning gratitude before i hit the pillow.
i’m grateful the last 2 days were wonderful, i enjoyed them so much.
i’m grateful i can skip gratitude on details for later.
i’m grateful i stick to my plans.
i’m grateful i took the last train and napped a bit so i was able to drive home half an hour from the train station far past midnight. i’m grateful i’ve practiced driving in the dark, i felt save babysteps made it possible
i’m grateful the cat management went well. first time away alone for 2 days, 1 overnight stay and returning at 3 a.m.
i’m grateful this was a huge step for me in how i handle my life as a single woman on the farm being away
i’m grateful that living a good life seems possible for me today.
i’m grateful i take good care of me and listen to my heart, gut and needs.
i’m grateful for my friends. without them i would be lost 
i’m grateful friends care and wait to hear from me that i made it home save. i’m grateful for friends

Whew! It’s a chilly morning here in Wisconsin.
I’m grateful to wake up every Saturday morning with a well rested body and no hangover symptoms because I am free! I’m grateful for 750 days of freedom!
I’m grateful for my cozy and loving home. I’m grateful my hubby came to bed later in the night and woke me up. 
I’m grateful that this week has the Thanksgiving holiday and we only have school on Monday and Tuesday. Today I will get to the public library and pick up the dozen books I have on reserve there for this mostly vacation week.
I’m grateful my sister lives in this same town and she is hosting the holiday meal. This will be her first sober holiday so I’m cheering her on as we go.
I’m grateful for a job I mostly love. I was put in charge of a big project and on Monday I present the results of my work. I’m hopeful that second semester will see the implementation of my work and that many students will benefit from what I am proposing. If it gets approved I have another bunch of new learning to do for the second semester implementation. I’m grateful to have challenging and meaningful work.
I’m grateful that the two viruses that have come thru our house are almost done. 
I’m grateful to be looking ahead to the holidays. We are headed to Tybee island again at Christmas, my home away from home.
I’m grateful to be sober and healthy and I’m grateful for all of you. Have a safe and peaceful Saturday.

Where to begin?
I’m grateful I haven’t been seriously tempted to drink this last month. Don’t get me wrong - I thought of booze, but not in the craving sense. More like having flashbacks of how I used to handle the stressy life stuff.
I switched up my work in a big way, as a good opportunity came up for an employee position with one of my clients. I’m still wrapping up things with former clients right now, so working too too much. But let’s face it - I have good work. I’m grateful for that.
I had to do a quick trip last saturday to the city, to tend to Mom this week and some of her health stuff. (This Alzheimer’s thing is not for the faint o’ heart.) I’m grateful I could take my work on the road. I’m grateful I don’t bookend my visits with her with multiple drinks. Tried that in the before times - doesn’t work. I’m grateful she’s here and I have the presence of mind to be with her.
Grateful I made time to see some old pals in the city. Grateful for laughter and hugs. For mocktails and no questions asked. For an impromptu zoom therapy session and my counsellor who keeps no track of f-bombs. 
I’m grateful I detoured on way home, pulled over to spend tonight in a little hotel near my land, so I can spend a bit of time there tomorrow. I’m grateful I travel now with a carrot peeler instead of a corkscrew (for real). I stocked up at the little markets in the city, and just made a little hotel room charcuterie plate: gf crackers, gouda, bison pepperoni, carrots, apples, hummus. Yum. Grateful.
I’m grateful for Day 499! For TS pals to celebrate milestones with! For all of you G-dudes.
I’m grateful for another day.
I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions, just for today. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and traditions. I’m grateful there is always more but I am thankfully in my warm, safe bed cuddling with the kitten and tired from work and a meeting and I get to do it again tomorrow.
God bless us all. 
&
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!
God bless us
Loved your list… travelling with a carrot peeler I’m liking that idea.
You are crushing it… congrats on 499-> 500 days

567 free from weed and alcohol

I got the motivation to read more of my book. The Power of Now.

Long walk yesterday and the beautiful weather
This awesome community
Peace and presents today
Greatful for the attitude of gratitude that this great thread is full of. 
Also grateful I have a new desk chair and grateful that it is okay if it isn’t working for my desk because it isn’t the end of the world if I have to get a different chair. In another life such a small misjudgement would have been an emotional catastrophe, but luckily live reincarnations happen.
Good morning friends,
I’m grateful we had the opportunity to help hand out Thanksgiving meal packs to people who need it yesterday. I’m grateful there are programs like this, and I’m grateful to the people who volunteered to run it. I’m grateful for our safety. I’m grateful for jobs that pay the bills. I’m grateful for love and forgiveness. I’m grateful for humor. I’m grateful for sobriety milestones, and for a place to share them with people who understand the importance of them
Good morning gratidudes.
I’m grateful we got everyone off to board at the vet yesterday and had very uneventful travel to Cali. I’m grateful that’s the best kind of travel. I’m grateful the plane was a little late and it didn’t bother me or get me to have another round. I’m grateful I’m sure everyone was doing the best they could.
I’m grateful I got the booze out of the room.
Not too grateful wifey finally caught on.
I’m grateful I had the booze removed for my sanity. I’m grateful if she thinks that’s controlling and that can be her opinion. I’m grateful I’m controlling what I can control because I feel frighten when she drinks. I’m grateful she only had 2 yesterday and I believe she is still angry with me. I’m grateful if the addict in your life is happy you are probably enabling them. I’m grateful I’m not enabling today. Not even close 
I’m grateful for the Stumptown coffee bar downstairs. I’m grateful after 2 trips I’m good to go. I’m grateful I saw the croissants coming in and I got a fresh one.
I’m grateful for the marine layer that has us socked in here on the 6th floor. Can’t see shit! I’m grateful I can see the yellow of the sun trying to bust through slowly.
I’m grateful Gus wants to look at a house with us today. I’m grateful I’m flexible in case he changes his cranky mind. I’m grateful he’s almost walking. I’m grateful I get to see him and my daughter. Oh and Gus got his 10 month chip the other day 
I’m grateful days like today enforce how important my meetings are. When things are going well or great I think I don’t need these meetings and all this recovery 
The fuck I do!
Grateful for y’all.
Being in recovery has given me everything I value that I have in my life. Integrity, honesty, fearlessness, faith, a relationship with god, and most of all, gratitude.

Today I’m grateful I rested. I needed a lot of sleep. I’m still very tired after the 2 intense days. I’m grateful I told my ex we need another appointment, I’m too exhausted to go through the storage tomorrow. Healthy boundaries. I’m grateful I mailed my lawyer to proceed with the financial split. I don’t know what my ex thinks, obviously he didn’t think about anything since the valuation arrived. I’m tired of waiting for him to come to terms. I’m grateful I accept that I can only control myself. I’m grateful I feel ok with proceeding.
I’m grateful for wood fired stoves. The kitchen stove provides cozy warmth.
I’m grateful for catlove.
I’m grateful for hot water.
I’m grateful for tea and food.
I’m grateful to be home
I’m grateful to be home.
I’m grateful for the beautiful day I had before getting home. Walking around two of my favourite happy places. I’m grateful hanging out in nature does me right.
I’m grateful for the sunny drive. To get home and unpack instead of uncork. Gah, that never went well! For making a nice meal and getting ready for my work week.
I’m grateful I feel a whole lot less overwhelmed. Maybe even normal-whelmed! One day at a time works for a whole lotta stuff, hey?
I’m grateful I can prepare to make the same trip to the city in only two short weeks. Prepare, she said. Not stress.
I’m grateful for my own bed, the snoring dog girl, “Princess of Darkness” coffee beans for the morning!, and so far - a Monday sans work meetings. WTAF?
I’m grateful for all of you. For sober pals near and far!
I’m grateful for another day.
Morning gratitude.
I’m grateful I can come here and write about gratitude. I had a bad night, woke up often, nightmares. Feeling exhausted. I’m grateful I can express my feelings and I know they are temporary. I’m grateful I can cut back to babysteps when I need to. I’m grateful today it will be babysteps.
I’m grateful I cancelled the appointment for today with the ex. I’m grateful I give myself the time and rest I need no matter how long it takes. I’m grateful I recognize the 2 intense days cost me more energy than I thought. That’s ok, I’m grateful I was able to participate and have 2 wonderful days. Maybe the fact that the ex was on the farm saturday also cost me energy and was not good for my emotional stability. I’m grateful I step back and give myself time to recover from this overload.
I’m grateful for a monday full of opportunities to make a good life happen. I’m grateful it’s a moderate monday workwise.
I’m grateful I see the blue sky from the couch where the old boy sleeps on me while I’m typing and reading. ODAAT
I am grateful to slowly recover from corona! After almost four years my first infection (i am aware of).
