Good morning sober familia!!
Saturday morning is my favorite part of sobriety. I’m grateful to be up early with a clear mind and excitement for the day, even when it’s an ordinary Saturday of house chores. I will never get tired of feeling refreshed.
I’m grateful to be healthy. My Dr visit this week included improvements in my blood pressure and reduction of some other medications. Yay! Sobriety and exercise are working.
I’m grateful to be in a job I mostly love. These weeks before winter break are challenging and I am doing just fine.
I’m grateful to be anticipating another Christmas vacation to Tybee Island Georgia with the hubby and the dogs. Two weeks from this morning I should be greeting you from there.
I’m grateful that my brother is doing pretty well. He has a birthday and of course Christmas in these next few weeks, his first round of divorce and sober holidays. He’s joining us in Tybee for a few of the days, so hopefully that will bring him some peace.
I’m grateful that I have resources to live the way we do. I’m grateful that my husband is feeling some satisfaction with this chapter of our lives. I’m grateful to have all of you in this sober community. Your stories inspire me to keep at this and I hope my sharing can encourage others to keep at this, one day at a time.
Peace!

I’m grateful it’s the weekend!
I’m grateful to be back with my partner. I missed all his little quirks.
I’m grateful for people who you can go a year without talking (cuz life) and then when you grab dinner it’s like old times and it’s so fun catching up.

Lunchtime gratitude.
I’m grateful the cats settle in so well, they are funny, curious, sleepy and comfy. I’m grateful putting them in the boxes yesterday was easy. I’m grateful I realized I forgot my glasses after 3 min. drive. No big deal to return and put them on my nose.
I’m grateful for a long chat with a friend yesterday. It was good to hear from him. I feel sad that the ex didn’t call him on his birthday, he was sad about it. Well, this happens when I’m not my ex’s walking memory anymore. I’m grateful I did NOT remind the ex on my friend’s birthday and told my friend so. I’m grateful for abstaining from codependent patterns.
I’m grateful for the long and funny chat with the catsitter today. She is a marvellous woman with a brilliant humor and a sharp tongue 
I’m grateful the cats love her.
I’m grateful I ordered lunch. The comforts of living in the city are many: Food delivery in abundance, central heating 24/7, hot water without moving a finger, short ways, did I mention central heating 24/7? And I don’t have to move a finger? Well, I’m grateful the cats and I still love this nice, comfy house. I’m grateful we can stay here for the rest of winter if we want. I’m grateful for the nice relaxing bath I took in the morning. Maybe I take anotherone in the evening. I’m grateful that I’m grateful for all the blessings in my life, the comfort, the safety, the peace and the faith I have in God and the universe. May we all be blessed

I’m grateful my brother got my mother into this stupid game I play because now when she calls and leaves me ungodly long messages they are about this game and not about her complaining, asking for something, or overall dumping her personal negativity on me (for the most part). Also this is mostly what we talk about on the phone now, for which I am grateful because of the same reasons. It does bring its own set of annoyances and problems (as she is not now, nor was she ever, a gamer in any form of the word; and frankly she sucks at this game and often needs help), but these are easier to deal with.
@Tragicfarinelli That isn’t silly at all. It seems to me that you deeply desire a way to alleviate the suffering you feel in your life. I think it is natural for us to hope that there is something that can help us, even if logically we know something in our thinking is slightly flawed.
I personally feel that sometimes unintended harm is done when people tell us to “just be grateful” for what we have in response to our suffering. Of course remembering to be grateful is helpful in some ways, but just because we are depressed, suffering because of some external circumstance, etc., doesn’t mean we aren’t grateful for other things. These two things can be true at the same time. Neither lives in a vacuum.
I think it’s simply human nature to compare ourselves with others because we are tribal beings. You aren’t less smart for doing so–you are simply human.

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for sober Saturday mornings too @LAB! They never get old. I’m grateful to be getting ready to go for a walk, grateful my body lets me move. I’m grateful for money for groceries. I’m grateful to be making plans to hangout with my sister this afternoon. I’m grateful for books and podcasts to help me through my feelings. I’m grateful doing gratitude helps put things into perspective. I’m grateful there’s always something to be grateful for, even if you borrow it from your fellow Gratidudes/dudettes.

I’m grateful that we got out the escape room today with twelve minutes to spare.
However I slipped in the rain and went absolute tits up on a busy road, so now I have a skinned ankle, bruised thigh and elbow and hand. I’m grateful I didn’t hit my head.
I’m grateful people offered me help rather 5han just falling about laughing.
I’m grateful I didn’t break anything. The last time I properly fell was drunk down the tube steps several years ago and I broke a bone in my elbow and didn’t notice until the blood started dripping out my coat sleeve.
I’m not normally that clumsy, it’s very embarrassing

I am really grateful the important people are listening to me. In hospital because of an issue I am still experiencing and they want to send me home. I expressed my concern with intelligence and they are keeping me 1 more day for a few more tests. Hallelujah!

Saturday night gratitude’s
I am so grateful that @Tragicfarinelli is ok. I too am super clumsy. My brother often jokes that i should be walking around in a bubble. So grateful that you did not do any damage
I am so grateful that @tailee17 stood her ground and got the doctors to listen to her concerns. I do hope everything is okay with you my friend. Sending you love and comfort.
I am so grateful that my family called me today for a favor and i was able to do it.
I am so grateful that my old tenants finally picked up 2.5 months of mail today. Geez! now they want me to forward the incoming WTF – not happening. Grateful that i am not getting all knotted over this.
I am so grateful that 2 days ago my realtor called and has found a tenant for me. Everything checks out and she is looking to move in on Tuesday. Feels like a good sign - the universe sending me a lovely birthday present.
I am so grateful for my family… will spend some time with parents and brother tomorrow. We are restarting our shared prayer / meditation time and then will have some family time
I am so grateful for healthy food. So grateful for easy to prep meals.
I am so grateful for the warm days we have been experiencing. Seems like it is going to drop by 20 degrees tomorrow but will be in 40’s for Tuesday. I will take it - no snow in sight
I am so grateful for catching the sunset today… i would rarely catch them in the summer so the one good thing about the winter shorter days is that i get to catch more sunsets… not i got to work on that sunrise
I am so grateful for a slight thought to drink that came in a split of a second and left just as quickly - no danger here. I am determined to see my 1 year 
I am so grateful for this community. Grateful to have this space to vent / share and to connect with my friends.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending so much love

I’m grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions, just for today. I’m grateful my parents came to visit at my place today then we met my sister at a restaurant and stopped by her place to see my brother in law and their Christmas decorations. I’m grateful I got some suggestions for gifts I can get them all and that I can afford to do that. I’m grateful for prayer and meditation. I’m grateful for Disney+ and the variety it offers, cartoons, sports documentaries, marvel, star wars, national geographic. I’m grateful for all of you and the variety TS offers too. I’m grateful that maybe someday I can afford to start taking vacations and make some real life connections with some of you. Be it at a meeting, a park, coffee shop, I love reading and seeing those photos of this community doing that sort of stuff. I’m grateful for prayer and meditation and how it keeps me connected, centerd and humble. I’m grateful for service work that helps me to remember things I may otherwise forget. I’m grateful that eric and stella are almost at four years, chiron is over two years and myself and jazzy closing in on a year, as I just passed ten months two days ago. I’m grateful my sponsor is home for another week before he goes back to one of his Florida properties. I’m grateful I have the weekend off and I get to go to Church in the morning. I’m grateful my kitten is getting big and that he is pirring away on my lap. I’m grateful I can hear the rain and intoxicated people arguing outside in it and that’s not me anymore. I’m grateful for humor and that the twelve steps keep us from suicide and the twelve traditions keep us from homicide.
May our higher powers allow us healthy connections.
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!

Today I am grateful for my health
To have the support of a community and my family
To have my children present in my life
To be able to sleep
For my roof
My food
For clean body and mind
For clarity and focus
For a new chance every day to be the man I know I should
To have hated every second of relapse and to have not enjoyed it and carried on
For everything I’ve learned about my self and the nature of my own monkey mind I used to misunderstand
For my real friends

I am grateful for the long hours of deep sleep I’ve been getting in the last several weeks. This morning my alarm woke me in the middle of a dream cycle–the second day in a row this has happened–which has made rolling myself out of bed a little more difficult than normal, but also highlights the deeper levels of sleep I’ve been getting over a longer period of time, which is good. One day I will finally wake up feeling rested rather than like I can sleep for another ten hours, but today is not that day. I am grateful, however, that I can see the light at the end of the sleep-deprived tunnel.
@Tragicfarinelli I’m glad you’re okay! Falling can be a serious thing!
@tailee17 I hope they are able to find the source of the issues you are experiencing and glad that they listened to you. Health problems are exhausting enough without people disregarding or waving off your concerns.
@JazzyS Was yesterday your birthday? Did I miss it??
@I.cant.We.can congrats on your ten months! You’re almost at a whole year! Great work!
@Dazercat omg… Black Forest cake…

Oh love - you did not miss it…my birthday is coming up on Tuesday. Doing a little family get together at home today to celebrate.
I do hope your fatigue settles down. It does suck having to wake up from a great long sleep and still be tired
Hope you have a great Sunday
