Oh believe me, I’m as secure as can be with my personal info. I’m constantly on my family members about it too. Way too many scammers out there and I refuse to be their victim.

ah Lisa - i just think Scam when i hear this. I’ve heard many long con phishing scheme have started up lately.
When something similar happened to me a few weeks ago, i blocked the number in Whatsapp. I am so untrustworthy tho. Hope i am wrong.

No worries! I don’t give out any of my info. I sent her a text tonight and told her my life is too busy to add any new friends to my circle.
This is the third person that contacted me over the past 6 months thinking I was this Catherine person who apparently has a number very close to mine.

I’m grateful for a little Alice on my lap and a little late night gratitude.
I’m grateful we figured out Alice is deaf 
We think she’s lost her hearing
I’m grateful whatever reason she spends more time on my lap and more time in bed with me. I’m grateful she wants more connection with us. I’m grateful for the old girl, off the pet age chart at the vet’s, it only goes up to 16. I’m grateful she’s been with us for 17 Holiday Seasons. I’m grateful Minnie made it to 16 Holiday Seasons. I’m grateful I still miss her. I’m grateful she did the best she could.
I’m grateful I’m not getting morbid here. Just grateful for the longevity of my pets. I’m grateful god gave us these beautiful creatures for us to love and care for.
I’m grateful the plumber, I was so happy to get Monday morning when I called Friday called in sick and they let me know too early this morning. I’m grateful I got a bunch of other shit done. Phone calls. Insurance 
errands pick up Alice’s meds.
I’m grateful for technology even if it’s a little late. I’m grateful American Express sent us 3 emails in the middle of the night about possible fraud. I’m grateful when I check my account there was another woman on it 
. I’m grateful my wife called asap this morning and got the fraud department right away and nothing has been charged yet by her. Fucking Lori! If that’s even her real name. I’m grateful I changed my password first thing. But it’s pretty fucking creepy and I feel violated when I log on and see this other persons name. I’m grateful they will overnight us a new card and we’ll get it tomorrow. Speaking of scammers. I’m grateful I never call the phone number on the email incase it’s a scam. I always call the phone number on my credit card. I’m grateful I too have trust issues.
I’m grateful we didn’t drink today and I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
I’m grateful for my meetings.
I’m grateful for gingerbread pancakes with apples and butterscotch chips on top.
I’m grateful for Pinsa. It’s like Pizza but the crust is supposedly more healthy for you.
I’m grateful for marketing 
I’m grateful for some good ol late night gratitude before bed.
Grateful for the full moon and pretty sunsets and dog walks with my wife.
I’m grateful I got my clean kitchen in the mornings again.
Grateful for y’all.

I’m grateful Thanksgiving is over and all I have to contend with now is Commercialism season. Yes, I know, I’m a real grinch sometimes 
Eric, I’m late, but I’m thankful for you too. Also sorry to hear about Alice
@Lisa07 I think being upfront about not adding to your circle was a good way to handle it. They could have been on the long con, but since we can’t 100% be sure, it never hurts to politely decline further contact.

I am grateful for my mom, even though it’s tough to be around her negativity at times. I am grateful I am learning to separate this from me. I am grateful I don’t feel guilt anymore for being happy, when she is not. I am grateful we go to spend some quality time on a road trip and shared some nice memories.
I am also grateful for some uncomfortable days @Lisa07, thank your for bringing this up. I am letting go of a person I dearly love but who cannot return the sentiment. As painful as it is right now, I am grateful I am chosing what keeps me safe and sound.
I am grateful for snow and the serene beauty that comes with it. It’s getting cold here and I am not yet properly equipped for winter. It’s time to do some shopping :). I am grateful my house is warm and cozy. I am grateful I have more than enough.

I got tips.
I am grateful for my character defeats and the spiritual foundation of our program. I am grateful that while I am at most meetings I easily fall into defects; judgement, comparassion, intolerance. I am grateful that the message of hope at a meeting doesnt always come from the person who is sharing, sometimes it comes from what is happening in the conversation between my head and my heart. I am grateful that paying attention to myself, staying very present in my being is allowing me to work on what really ails me in life… myself. I am grateful that I am what makes me sick because if it were anyone else I would be fucking powerless over it, at least this way I have a chance at getting better.
I am grateful that both of my parents are alive.
I am grateful that I am warm and dry.
I am grateful that I feel loved.

I’m grateful there is no gratitude police and nobody is kicking me out from here cause I’m not posting daily 
I’m grateful for my good mood today morning.
Im grateful yesterday my h admitted (for the first time) that he’s addicted to coke. He has this thinking that how can I be an addict if I only sniff on weekends (which are getting longer lately, starting Tuesday usually)… He also never thought about me as an alcoholic. He say I don’t know how to drink (no limits), but I’m not alcoholic. Oh sweet summer child…
He also said he might use some help, like some app, online meetings etc. But this app is mine! Maybe it’s selfish of me but I don’t want him here 
I’m grateful for this conversation. We shall see.
I’m grateful I have physiotherapy in 20min and after that I have plan to go for a run. Finally! I’m so grateful it’s not raining! Finally blue sky!!!
I’m grateful for all of you.
Big hugs! 
Edit: in waiting room at physiotherapist, it’s freeeeeeezing outside 
I’m gonna rethink that running today
Edit 2: I ran

Good morning
I am grateful for my friends. I’m grateful I have learned to lean on people and ask for help. It wasn’t an easy lesson for me to learn. I’m grateful my heart is full even on tough days. I’m grateful after being the person other people lean on, I can trust it’s okay for me to lean too. I’m grateful for my new workbook. I’m grateful it was shared with me at the very moment I seemed to need it. Magic a friend would say 
I’m grateful that I am responsible for my feelings, safety and happiness. Just a simple thing that it seems like we would all know but I just fully grasped the concept. It has opened my eyes and made me more compassionate towards myself and others.
I’m grateful for boundaries. I’m grateful I’m sticking to them. I’m grateful they are healthy and adult.
I’m grateful I woke up and worked out.
I’m grateful yesterday was the first night in my new place. I’m grateful it’s mine and I feel safe. I’m grateful I’ve been chatting with my mom more. I’m grateful for her love and friendship.
I’m grateful I feel less and less anger towards my childhood. I’m grateful I can see it through an adult perspective and give myself the extra love I need now to heal.
I’m grateful I got a workout this morning in. I’m grateful I did it to Morgan Freeman talking about Dino’s. I’m grateful I had a space of my own where I could work out.
I’m grateful for my espresso with a splash chocolate mint creamer.
I’m grateful it’s chilly outside. I’m grateful I’m about to hop into the shower and go to a job I love.
I’m grateful I don’t know the outcome, I’m grateful I don’t take responsibility for other peoples actions. When I don’t I have more time to take responsibility for my own. I’m grateful I am making ones that make me feel happy and healthy

I’m grateful my coffee came out extra strong this morning, since I didn’t sleep well. I’m grateful I microwaved that last 2 inches of cold coffee again.
I’m grateful the plumber is coming today.
I’m grateful to be able to take care of some more phone calls today. Different insurance
Grateful we finished our book and section on The Concepts yesterday and we will restart at the beginning of Paths To Recovery next week. I’m grateful I’ll miss those first 2 Mondays but when I get back I’ll be grateful to be joining in to the meat and potatoes of step 1.
I’m grateful I got Benson to the left of me, and Daisy to the right of me and I already got my Mavy time.
I’m grateful I’m not alone at feeling a bit Grinchy myself @Chiron
I’m grateful I’m going to keep it simple if I do, do a little decorating. I’m grateful I’m just not feeling it. I’m grateful I might just enjoy other people’s and places lights. And I’m grateful that’s ok. I’m grateful to realize my addiction to many things including Christmas decorations. I’ve been over doing it for many years which also makes a lot of clean up work when it’s all over. And I’m grateful I’m just going to take a break. Except for maybe a couple of things we’ll see.
I’m grateful for a slow leisurely start to my day.
I’m grateful for my hot green turmeric macha tea.
I’m grateful for my house and home and bed and pets and HVAC and running water and indoor plumbing and comfy chairs and blankies and cats to keep me warm and the Ol Burner.
I’m grateful I’m not drinking today and that’s about the only drinking I can control. Well, as long as I don’t have that first one I can control it. I’m grateful I don’t even think about trying that.
I’m grateful for all you sober peeps here along with me on this great journey of life on life’s terms. Lisa

I am also grateful I’m not alone. Grinches unite! 
The after clean-up is always a challenge for me, but more especially in the last several years as my health problems increased. I barely have the energy for normal life many days, and I’m grateful I understand my ever changing limits.
And, speaking of limits, I’m also grateful for the understanding that I always have a choice. Different choices might not be as ideal, may have some unpleasant consequences attached to them, or may be uncomfortable to do, but I always have a choice.
So, as much as I hesitate to do so, I will be resigning from the HOA Board. I am grateful for the opportunity overall, and grateful that I can implement things I have learned in the past about letting go. I’m grateful I can say, without doubt, that I have been a great asset to the community, but I am also grateful that I am able to recognize that the energy requirements of this position have gone far beyond what I initially planned for and that right now I simply do not have the emotional energy for this position.
In addition, I am grateful that I know I’m not stuck at this new clinic I was referred to when one of my previous doctors retired. There have been too many issues around the woman who is the secretary, and in the past I would have stuck around and tried to make it work, all while swimming in a growing sea of resentment, anger, and hurt. But I’m grateful that the market always provides other options when there are people who will pay for them. I am grateful I have an appointment with said doctor today, so that I can ask her for a referral to another clinic that specializes in this type of treatment.
I am grateful that I can recognize these things and have compassion for myself by respectfully approaching the issues head on. There are many things I don’t have control over, but I do have control of how I will respond. I am grateful that I know speaking up and saying this isn’t working for me, so I will leave this situation, is an option.

Today I’m grateful I nod on so many things posted here where I’m grateful too.
I’m grateful it’s not messy anymore, tidied up and love it.
I’m grateful for therapy, something we talked about echoes deep in me. I’m curious where this impact leads to.
I’m grateful I used the sunny spot in the afternoon to carry firewood inside and rearrange the stuff in the carport so I can park my car there. I’m grateful I DO things. I’m grateful today I did not overthink, instead I got some important chores done. Sometimes it feels like my life is only chores, errands, eat, rest, cats, sleep. Nothing wrong with that.
I’m grateful for cats on me, beside me, miowing for pets, biting for cuddles, sleeping peacefully on me like now. I’m grateful we all love this warm, cozy, silent, peaceful house and the big windows with the beautiful view (cats: birds, me: landscape).
I’m grateful for all the comfort of modern living.
I’m grateful for freedom, contentment and safety. ODAAT

Today I am just grateful that I finally, finally understand “one day at a time”. I finally believe it, and feel it. Letting go of the idea that I can control the rest of my life and accepting that all I can really control is my decision here and now has really set me free.

I’m grateful I understand myself well enough that I can let myself cry from anger while still logically processing a situation without blame (for either party), but rather understanding of the circumstances as they objectively are along with how I subjectively feel about them.
I am also grateful that I have a deep grasp of human nature and can mentally understand the likely root cause of someone’s behaviors and/or reactions to situations without genuinely taking it personally, even if I feel upset about it. I’m grateful I have learned how to have compassion for someone as a person, but still acknowledge that their behavior was inappropriate.
I’m grateful that I deeply understand that every person has their own journey in life and that I have the ability to opt out of being part of theirs because we all have choices, whether we realize it or not. Sometimes the choices are the harder route, and maybe they could bring more inconveniences and/or different difficulties along the way, but that in truth we always have a choice–though we may not always like or be willing to accept what it would take to make different choices.
I’m also grateful for the less than desirable experience I had today. Not only did it present me with a way to implement, in real time, behaviors and patterns of thought that I could only learn through constant experience leading up to now, but it also gave me the impetus to scrub my house afterward in another act of implementing what I’ve learned–though this time in directing my energy into something productive rather than trying to emotionally hide through destructive means.

@dazercat huge cuddles to Alice. So sweet that she is seeking more connection and affection 
Grateful for the fraud alerts and that you were able to nip this in the bud before it got ugly. I find my self with more trust issues as I grow older – scammers are scum.
@Mischa84 I am with you on not wanting to share my app (I feel selfish but then I feel like I need this space to be me and to get my sober legs grounded). So great to hear that your husband is admitting his addiction. Just take it all ODAAT and remember to put your sobriety and mental health first.
@callie99 Congrats on your new place. Love that you are feeling comfortable and safe in your own space. Love reading that you are allowing yourself to reach out and lean on others for support. Support is always a two way street
I love this! Grateful that you are standing up for yourself and making changes where things to fit right.
@Passerina_cyanea UGH TMJ – I am so sorry friend. I have been dealing with this for decades and it is not fun. The exercises do help with the pain. I am learning that it is possible to help rebuild cartilage naturally too. Just some stuff I am using in case you find helpful.
